"Thank you for your input Patrick!"
"Patrick, welcome to DIYD! May I ask the benefits of your (purchasable) product over say Dr Drela's free xfoil and xflr5 programs?

"Is it me or is that a rebadged hobbyking quanum?"
"Andrew, I think we are agreeing on most points.
In regards to the poat, you, yourself, brought It to my attention that I essentially got off topic and went on to discuss matters in design that are completely unrelated, and did so in length!
You…"

"I guess in a way it could be misconstrued as some kind of rant...
In reality all I was getting at is that prandtl's lift distribution theory was accepted and proven over the years several times by several individuals, including Nasa. Mr Bower and…"

"Trust me, I totally agree. In Fact, the commercial operators are already the safest as they currently are, and regulation will do nothing for safety when you factor in the numerous hobbyists who fly irresponsibly near airports, etc. However, at the…"
"It is probably an entirely different level of security and background check. For example, a Top Secret cost several hundreds of thousands of dollars."
"Guys, I think some of us are over reacting. They basically said that operating for hobby uses ] (Remote Control), then this regulation does NOTHING to you.All this does is provide an easily accessible commercial opportunity. I think a lot of us are…"
"I couldn't disagree any more DG, in fact I personally sent my own proposals to FAA representatives that were more strict for Comercial use. If any ing at all, this is showing light at the end of the tunnel, and it seems to be a positive outlook as…"
"Pst? Gmt? Est?"
"Very innovative idea, but in general, the time it takes for a chute to open is not the biggest worry.
Take zero-zero ejection seats, 99% of the time a casualty is not due to the chute opening to slow, but too slow of a reaction time from the pilot.…"

"It was a (fairly well) put together uav event. I am very glad it got some publicity!
The racing was excellent as well, and I'm glad all of Sundays maydays made it down safely, including the gear up Lancair in Super Sport. On that note, I do want to…"

"I do believe going to reno is an experience every flight enthusiast should enjoy once.....
That being said, I am very excited to see uav's make an appearance. I believe whole heartedly that although UAS expos are great, it still does little to show…"

"Ah! Swift... Very aware of these little beauties. I bought one of the first RocHobby CriticalMass' when it first hit the shelves, I even at many points suggested that their Strega Airframe can become a VooDoo airframe with the simple change of…"
"Expos*"
"One way or another it is a great way to open the minds of skeptic pilots. Much more beneficial for the UAV community than UAV conferences. As much as I love conferences and expose they are really only good for those interested or already in the UAS…"
