"I didn't see the Mythbuster episode. I may need to watch it.

It puzzles me that anyone would think that my drone with PLASTIC props wouldn't cut someone.  Me.  If I got a hand in one of those blades, it would do some serious damage.

I get AMA…"

"I don't think prop guards or flimsy props would help, really.  I mean, suppose that instead of cutting someone, it simply landed on their head from 100 ft?  The fact is, a 3 lb (or 1 lb, or 5 lb) quad is a dangerous object if it hits you.
I believe…"

"The voltage level on Pixhawk telemtry output is either 0-3V or 0-5V, I am not sure which. The spec would show that.  But I think the important point is that RS-232 is much different, +/- 3 to +/- 15V.    I think you'd probably burn out the Pixhawk…"

"I agree that the guy probably wasn't TRYING to interfere, but if he was close enough to be seen and then caught, I bet he was too close.
What is the separation that is required from aircraft?  I know about the altitude, but in the case of police,…"

"I've been running on several laptops, and a desktop including a Thinkpad W520 and down to an old Thinkpad R51 running XP.  If you don't need to capture video, I think the speed isn't much of an issue, at least it isn't for me.  I also have a…"

"You probably realize this, but remember that if you are running full power, in real life, the craft will be moving and thus there may be more cooling of your ESCs, depending on where they are mounted.  I wouldn't want them to overheat.  And I wonder…"

"I used bunji cords to attach mine between two trees. When attached to the bow and stern, this allows it to roll freely, allows some play up and down and a little fore and aft. All the motors spin.  I use this to tune it in the roll direction.
Then I…"

"Seems to have enough speed.  So my guess is:
- motors spinning the wrong way
- wrong direction props (CW prop installed on CCW motor)
- props installed upside down"

"Forrest, Have you made this change or do you still plan to make it?  I am building a quad using a Flip FPV Pro frame.  After reading all this stuff and looking at the frame, testing its stiffness, I think that I would benefit from configuring it as…"
