"@John, when you have a $25 million dollar payday, and backing from Samsung, you can build pretty much anything you want..."
"Please please PLEASE do not use a GPS repeater to bring the signal indoors. This will create all kinds of multipath issues, and will lead to a crash. If you're looking to run waypoints indoors, look into the posxy system. Ultimately, your best bet…"
"All of that tech looks to be at least four years old. The UAV itself is an old 3DR hexacopter with 800Kv motors. The frame isn't bad, but the APM and that ground station aren't up to date. You're better off getting a pixhawk and GPS combo, and save…"
"Brian, do you have any pictures of the electronics layout? Very clean looking outside!"
"What I'm seeing in your log is the throttle is dropping to zero when you make each mode change. On top of that, your battery is horribly discharged. With each "flight," your 3S battery is dropping to less than 10.6v. I'd suspect your battery is…"
"Does anyone know if this drone can run Copter 3.3 code? "
"Very nice! Does this interface with the Solo Accessory bay?"
"Really looking forward to this. It's a major step up in autopilot design!"
"Have you tried connecting the camera directly to the video input on your goggles? That should rule out the camera and camera power. From there, triple check your wiring pinouts. That's usually the problem."
"Randy,
Any info you can provide on the external baro requirements? Does the EKF fuse the two baro sensors, or do you need to disable one in the code?"

"Excellent article! It still surprises me to see Chris Anderson posting and helping users here and drones-discuss. I hope the Iris+ isn't being phased out, I was looking at buying one soon."
"AC3.3 has been flying great on the Tayzu Titan here."
"The APM is just out of space. If you wanted to trim down a custom firmware for the APM to run the Lidar Lite, it is very possible. But I don't see this being supported by the general population. "
"I like this hull, where did you get it?"
"Dan,
I'll make sure that's sent in the morning. Sometimes you need to do a 6DOF calibration on the IMU to get a good value. Usually, though, the problem is either the IMU value is off, or the motor direction isn't set up right. I've rarely had a bad…"
