"I think a valid comparison for licensing could be made with the vehicles we drive. Perhaps an extremely low powered beacon could be required to act as a license plate as well?
However I agree that we already have enough laws to deal with the issues…"

"I got 9 minutes through before looking at the video timeline realizing there was still 15 minutes to go. What a waste of time for both sides involved.
I imagine this process should go similar to that of a traffic stop for speeding: Get pulled over.…"

"I was there too. Waivers/bands were not mandatory. I did not see the indoor flight, but i was concerned about the outdoor flight. It seemed it for quite close to the fire spewing octopus, which would randomly blast at full power. I also noticed this…"
"Nice! I'm working on a similar solution (though not as well thought out..) using a raspberry pi and arduino to get a Sidewinder Precision Pro to talk to my Aurora 9. Essentially I should be able to use almost any usb joystick style input supported…"
"Nice! So is it time to re-embrace and steal back the term "drone"?"
"I'm up in the OK Panhandle, 'only' 120mi away! So glad to see more drones taking off in this area! Congrats!"
"Euan, check out reprap.org for a wealth of info. The main components HK seems to be missing here is the motion hardware (stepper motors, bearings, belts, etc), extruder/hot end hardware, and structural hardware.."
"I should have stated in my first post, but I too think this is absolutely amazing! Sort of a first step into open source space exploration."
"The Register has not flown their plane yet? The video is of Larry Grater's plane from 101,000 ft."
"Nice! So instead of using a few (though 12 is not really a few...) larger props, could you use many smaller ones? Is that what the e-volo is doing?"
"This is awesome!
Do you think the airflow from the motors onto the flat arms will have a big effect on efficiency and/or vibrations?"

"That DDDR camera tech is cool! It would be interesting to mix it it with some AR tech like CastAR and throw it all into a Google Glass form factor.

"You would really just need some way of converting the artificial horizon data (maybe more?) to the movements, I would think. I wonder what the lag would be like?"
"Very nicely done! It looks really finished and well thought out.
I have played around with using gimbals out of a gamepad and an arduino to get PPM into the trainer port of my A9. I want to try to add a wii controller to the mix. I think Human…"

"Wow! I have a number of slightly swelled packs.. Time to get rid of some batteries! What is the best way to dispose of them?"
"For an autonomous copter or rover, this would be a great solution for a charging base. I was looking for wireless charging for my phone and see that they are using multiple smaller coils so that the location of the two does not have to be extremely…"
