"Tomi,
I do PPK mapping and therefore would be interested in high precision feedback for the RX0. I hope you will do more than just assume a fixed time offset between trigger command and shutter. The 0.5 fps however sounds incompatible for fixed-wing…"

"Tomi,
So are you saying the RX0 is only capable of 0.5 fps? Multiport control may be faster. What are you doing about precise feedback?"

"Another option for geo tagging is SwiftTag which can handle photo/cam discrepancies and also tags with aircraft attitude. http://swiftradioplanes.com/swifttag/"
"You conclude the article with
"wait a few months and buy the Parrot Disco, it does it all for you."
I thought the Disco was designed for FPV?"

"One option may be the Lynx M by Swift Radioplanes. Lynx flies for 3 hours with payload and can carry the 5 band Micasense Rededge camera in landscape orientation for ideal coverage.

"Baro altitude drift can be nasty with long flight times. We've had to max out the GND_ALT_OFFSET over the course of a 3 hour flight. Large temperature changes appear to exacerbate the drift, such as flying early morning to mid day.

Yes range can be extended with an optional radio. Please contact support@swiftradioplanes.com for pricing and specs. Thanks!"

"@ Antonie
Thanks! The weight depends on payload of course but its 3.2 - 3.8 kg. Max wind is 25 knots for good mapping results.
@ Mark
Yes, the Lynx designed was inspired by a few military UAVs. Please contact support@swiftradioplanes.com for…"

Where are you seeing this? Roll values are logged and used for image tagging.
@Mauricio
What is your reasoning? There are so many factors to image quality. It certainly has not been the case for us. We're out there using our systems for…"

"I'd like to thanks everyone for the comments and kind words!

The battery is a 11Ah 6S LiPo

Yes rudder & elevator only. Wings have polyhedral to help the rudder roll the aircraft. No ailerons saves…"

Greetings all. About a year ago, we introduced you to the Lynx. http://diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/introducing-the-lynx. Lynx was our first system developed as an affordable, fixed-wing UAV for mapping. The Lynx design was inspired by military UAS,…
"The problem the FAA had with 3DR autopilots was that the telemetry radio did not have (still doesn't have?) an FCC radio ID. The issue I foresee with open source is all the updates; of course this is not a bad thing, but the FAA views these as…"
"Congrats on the exemption as well. To add to the 'drone spotters page,' our Lynx aircraft has received 3 N numbers for different COAs using APM/Pixhawk. "
