"Fortunately the modern units that I've seen have addressed the interference issue with their more sophisticated signal processing approach. Using what amounts to an encryption and/or deliberately unique signature which is then analyzed by the…"
Interesting idea, small deliveries adding up where large ones would be shot down. These are Pixhawk-powered fixed-wing UAVs.From the BBC:How do you deliver food and medicine to people in an area where a cargo plane would be shot down? It was a…
"If you're doing a console session, I'd use TCP, not UDP. Chattier, but if it's just a console session not a big deal unless things are totally marginal anyway. And that avoids pain and suffering of dropped/mangled characters in a command line…"
"NICE!
Once I get my craptastic replicator running again I'll have to see if I can get it to do this as well. Possibly the first use of dualstrusion that actually has some use!"

"This sounds like a great project, I might suggest going to an alternate crowdfunding platform like Indiegogo. Most folks don't care which you use, Dragon innovations is another one that might be appropriate.

"Generally the approach I've seen (but not tried myself yet) is to have the gopro feed video to a FPV setup on a different band. 900Mhz or 1.2Ghz or even 5Ghz (although looking out for harmonic interference would be wise in any case, regardless of…"
"Sounds like going back to servo connectors (aka .1" pins) should be considered, despite the bulk.
Or Solder through hole terminals, less convenient but still a comparative gold standard for reliability. "

"This is fascinating, and not just for drones either. I'm currently training for my PPL, so if this gets to the point of being operational and fine-tunable for larger aircraft, particularly finding clear spaces large enough for, say, a Cessna 172…"
"1) This stuff is not certified-grade aviation, where *everything* is tested ad nauseam, and certified mechanics are maintaining those systems. Apples and oranges.
2) Saying "Nothing is wrong with recent updates" is a blanket statement, which…"

"Since ailerons are how you're really supposed to turn an aircraft, and the rudder only approach is basically kinda faking it, it's not surprising that you're seeing authority issues in general. While you might be able to improve it a bit with…"
"I'm interested, an email list subscription link on your website would be advisable, so folks can sign up for updates.
I know that there is a Ardupilot to Linux push already, I assume you're talking to the community about that? "

"I'd look at Cree for the LED's, they have an 800 Lumen LED that's pretty impressive. "
"Are you thinking red flash anti-collision light plus white strobe?
I'd ramp the red up and down rather than strobe it, helps with visual tracking, and then the white strobe covers "I'm here dummy".
(Hope to get my PPL this year). "

"Hi Justin,
I am intrigued, and had I the time for systems integration I'd strongly consider this airframe. I'd like to get email updates on the project (as by the time you've produced, who knows I might have more time), will you have a mail list to…"

"As others have already said, you increase up pitch without power to slow the plane until it stalls.
In straight and level flight, maintaining altitude by increased pitch without throttle will eventually do it, and give you what is likely the…"
