"I certainly would be interested in a gimbal system that has nice smooth tracking ability."

Miles replied to Miles's discussion Ring Laser Gyro
"I thought they could be used. If used successfully say 3 or 4 units the accuracy would be far better than GPS and would allow GPS to become a secondary back up navigation.

Then we only need to brief up the processing power of the autopilot. How…"

Hi Everyone,Just an idea here and yes I know its out of DIY community price range but could the IMU on autopilots in general be replaced with Ring Laser Gyro to improve overall performance e.g. position, IMU drift etc. Just a thought.

"yes the TASE Gimbal is great but I believe its like 20K maybe something a bit more simple in design and certainly cost."

"Has anyone thought about jointly designing a small ball turret gimbal that uses block camera, maybe high resolution servos etc. Certainly be great to have."

Miles commented on Gary Mortimer's blog post Really interesting Killer Bee vid from Engineering TV
"Guys its renamed to "BAT" when the killer bee was brought by NG from swift. Looks cool but rather impractical for the military."

"It would be really great if on the DIY drones store a list of parts that need to be purchased to make the autopilot functional. As I am sure there people that maybe attempting to build the Argumega for the first time and won't have a clue about…"

Miles replied to Dan Baum's discussion Looking for current/former AF/CIA UAV pilots
"I just thought about this. This topic is completely off topic for DIYDrones, we are a forum about DIYdrones, not about combat related stress/PTSD or assisting Media with finding operators of UAS who are willing to talk about their experiences. I…"

Miles replied to Dan Baum's discussion Looking for current/former AF/CIA UAV pilots
"Nice idea but really it sounds like a beat up to me. I am not going to get into PTSD claims (as I have my own personal view)by UAV pilot , sensor operator, mission commanders etc. But you might want to start with the contractors flying these UAS, as…"

Miles commented on automatik's blog post Look of the new Ardupilot GCS
"I am not sure what everyone elses opinion is but do you need large dials displays. Why don't we just have numerical values just like the bottom right hand corner. That way we can display more information that is relevant, such and mission planning,…"

Miles commented on Jordi Muñoz's blog post New Ground Station idea....
"I don't normally post comments, but after using many commercial GCS's but I would go away with aviation dials etc and just go with an excellent HUD as this provides all the information you need and number values. I just think its good to start with…"
