Jerry Hatrick commented on mykita paskov's blog post Phoenard: World's first all-in-one prototyping gadget as your Drone Controller?

Jerry Hatrick commented on David Anders's blog post Woman snapped sunbaking by real estate drone
"This spells trouble for Australian UAV operators. I have a beach house next to where this woman was photographed, and regularly fly fixed wing and multi copters in the area. Now that CASA is involved, that won't last long. "

Jerry Hatrick replied to Jerry Hatrick's discussion Massive instability on take off.
"So it turns out you guys were right. It was set up as a plus config not an x config. I don't know how that happened. Now it flies fine in stability mode, but when I switch it to loiter, nothing happens, its like it is still in stability mode. I…"

Jerry Hatrick replied to SILVERZORRA's discussion What is the best platform for mapping around 300km of highway?
"You could easily do this with off the shelf parts. A fully loaded skywalker with mapping gear could do 30km segments at at time, autonomously. You would just have to follow it in a car.  You could get the whole 300km done in a week. "

Hi guys, a newly rebuilt quad of mine has some sizeable wobble which mean I can't really take off. I thought it could prop wash potentially, so the solution could be to just punch it into the air, but Im a little scared to do that given the cost of…

Jerry Hatrick commented on Stephen Dade's blog post Outback Challenge 2014
"How are you guys running video feeds legally given that you can't use any frequency but 5.8ghz at 25MW? You aren't going to get any distance with that setup. "
