"Where can we find a fixed pitch rotor for this machine?"
"I would probably take a shot at building one of these"
"Very much like this: http://www.ascentaerosystems.com/one
First time I saw this type was from here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ascentaerosystems/sprite-the-p..."

"If this heats up much I suspect there will be issues."
"Would you say it's almost impossible to crash? "
"It would be nice to have tradheli documented as well as copter and plane. Rob made some videos that were a good start. Right now it seems like black magic."
"Very good pod cast. I have enjoyed the others as well. The Paragmatic Bookshelf has been great."
"You can push a button to start the acquisition or have it start at a predefined GPS point. Simple for an Arduino. But I can sort of understand you are looking at a complete flight controller to do this. "
"I know a guy that uses an Arduio and gps to make a Chdk hacked camera fire as he desires.
I helped him test it firing every 5 m traveled in the x direction."

"I always break the FPV antennas off when connected straight to the board. A short pig tail zip tied to the frame for strain relief works well. But then again, I crash more than most!!!"
"Hey Rob, Good work. If I had money I'd invest in your venture!!!! Have you played with head speed any? Do you think it's worth even considering?"
"There has always been a counter argument for using tailsitters as VTOL, that is the wind. I think they can take off and transition fine but landing at a 45 deg angle is problematic. Surely that can be overcome, right? "
"If you are following tuffwing's directions exactly it looks like you have the trigger in RC5 and not Aux5 (relay pin 54). "
"I got this cable: http://www.tuffwing.com/support/pixhawk_camera_trigger_cable.html and put on Aux3 (relay pin 52)
Make sure you have the CHDK working correctly (not easy): Setting up card (Method 2):…"

"Should we start a concerted effort to bring new controllers and their GC's to the forefront? Seems it would be in our best interest to have some choices in a year or so. Or do we think PX4 and APM will be with us for the next 5 years?"
"I have always thought the lawnmower pattern was inefficient due to all the 90 deg turns. I hope to see a gain in efficiency using a spiral. Though I am not sure how efficient a constant turn with be.
Also, I assume the MP auto way point…"
