"I totally understand your reasoning for calling it the Pixhawk 2, but from a branding and enduser perspective, I would really consider calling it something different. After all, it is going to be different from the version that is in the Solo. It…"

"jim_c (and others)- Are you still flying your RVjet? I recently flew mine for the first time using settings from another large wing I have. It didn't fly as great as I would like, so I'm going to try your param file. Thanks for sharing. One…"

Parke @ ParkeFlyer replied to Damo's discussion Disarm Arduplane in ArduPlane User Group

Parke @ ParkeFlyer commented on Adrián Nagy Hinst's blog post GimBALL - 3D printed DIY Gimbal with closed hull - PART1 (design)
"Great design. I'm glad you went with the Mobius. There is a significant shortage of Mobius gimbals and plenty of GoPro gimbals on the market (albeit, none that look quite like this.) One question, though... it seems the ball has a lot of wasted…"

"Not sure about the 100km range, but for the RC control, I would think about using a UHF system that supports "multimaster". Here is a post that accomplished what you are wanting at a somewhat shorter…"
