"Hi Patrick
I answer your questions below.
I assume this cost reduction is based on aerial inspection exclusively, so you compare a drone inspection team vs bucket truck team on this specific aspect of the inspection process?

"I would be interested to see any bench tests with these batteries!"
"I would say you got a pixhawk from a great batch!"
"Seems like a pretty awesome product!"
"This is a good place to start in general: http://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/build-your-own-multicopter.html
And this is a good place to start with "complex control algorithms": http://ardupilot.org/dev/docs/companion-computers.html"
