"Any more info available regarding the Catapult, Parachute system, Servo covers and flight performance from the kickstarted participants? I'm looking to place an order for two airframes and a couple spare fuselages, but would love to hear some…"
"Has anyone successfully integrated this or similar(REACH RTK?) into a commercial application with Pixhawk or APM? Specifically with GIS?"
"It shouldn't be a problem, there's been a few flights around 1.5 hours, including this one:
1:25 flight
With a little weather/flight planning and a good 3s setup, 100k should be attainable. If you're going for ultra endurance, there's a lot of…"

The kickstarter project: "IR-Blue" is an affordable thermal imaging accessory for iPhone and Android Devices. See the world in a new way.
"Maybe the next employee you hire at 3DR should be a lobbyist???? There must be a few, here in the ranks of DIYDrones.com, no?"
"Great work! Where can we find information on Recommended Power Systems for the Techpod? It would be great to begin compiling set ups for performance evaluation."
"DIY X100?? Very nice work! What area & resolution can you map in a single flight?"
"Can you up the payload a bit? I'd like to throw BOTH my kids in it........ "
"Do aerodynamics really play a big part in a platform meant for fixed observation? Seems to have a pretty large cross profile. As for the shocks; in a hard landing, compression would crush that bottom module, and the added weight is a detractor from…"
"Looks great, but does form meet function? Or is this just a demonstration of aesthetic/creative abilities? There doesn't seem to be any significant engineering that warrants a technical advantage, over a simple tube-frame design, IMHO. Nice concept…"
"Nice job on protecting the barometer, and the new features are genius! Couple of questions;
1) Can the BMP085 sensor be used as a plug & play alternative(with some set-up), to the on board barometric sensor? Can it be used in conjunction, for a…"

"If you weigh it's value, vs how much time you'd invest getting a DIY wing to do the same, I'd say its a deal. @Leigh, your wing took two hours, and $500; but for an entry level guy trying this blind, it would probably cost a couple grand in…"
"Hey Hunter,
Are you still working on this? Saw your IR Gimbal post, wondered if you're going to incorporate one into a build."

"@R_Lefebvre; My Toyota 4Runner has a similar design on the climate control; seems like a good idea at first, but after a few "push instead of toggle" moments, you may not like them. My wife's german sedan has a great console switch, like a…"
"Colin; awesome! You'll have to post a DIY etching-boards-in-my-kitchen thread, ya?
Put me on the Pre-order Jani, this looks excellent!"
