"Awesome glad to see it coming online at github! Looking forward to the changes in 2015, thanks for all the efforts on the dev team side."
Came across this project on kickstarter.https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/794458221/long-range-hd-fpv-te... find it a little too incredible, basically this chap is saying he can achieve data wifi (even over 900mhz? Must be a new…
"Finally, you are buying a lot of unnecessary stuff. And that frame you chose is overkill in terms of weight.
For electronics, all you need is an apm, a gps, a 5v reg, and data radio set. Forget the sonar they are next to useless. Invest in a better…"

"As a side note this had similar objectives to one of a competition I helped a school with - the royal Thai air force uav challenge last year. Dropping a payload is not hard - what's hard is getting the payload to land accurately."
"8min so you can have a 2min buffer. And also don't discharge your lipo too much."
"That's not too hard. 2km round trip is very achievable. I was thinking more like 8km trip. Flying at 20km/hr means you need about 6min flight time back and forth. Good news is once you release the package your drone won't need so much energy to fly.…"
"you have to redo your whole setup, even if it flies it probably might just fly for a few minutes - it seems like you started with an idea and just went and purchased parts. 1kg payload delivery drone under $300 is not an easy thing to do if you want…"
"ESCs does not work in the way you specified, in the sense that let's say they don't let more than 20A of current go through... Usually a 20A esc can let a 30A load go through for a few seconds - then they burn out and your quad will drop.

"To be honest I don't trust the 4in1s, but they do work fine in most instances. I suggest you stick with them first, but do plan for a move to individual ESCs.
Also, do check and see if your throttle is reversed. Good luck and keep us updated. This…"

"So when you connect Mission Planner or any other GCS application, do you see the error message when you try arming it?
Also, take a photo of how your ESCs are connected to Pixhawk and upload, and the ESCs are rated for the Lipo size you are using?…"

"I think the answer is quite simple. For a lot of HobbyWing ESCs (like the Platinum Pro 30A I personally use), the ESCs beep once every few seconds when there is no signal detected on the esc side.
And the reason the signal is not detected is…"

"The parameter to adjust the rtl speed is wpnav_loiter_speed. Trying changing it directly under the full parameters list.
I personally set it at about 1200cm/s, which allows the bird to return at about close to 40km/hr."
