"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?"
"Contact Jeff Jackson at InfiniteJib.com. He has exactly what you're looking for, and carries the new FLIR A series HD cameras. Tell him Patrick sent you, he'll take good care of your needs.
Best,

"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.
"Thanks for working with the forum on this, it's sure to be a mutually beneficial relationship.
I'd like to see the following options in your future product lines:
1) Interface with APM for stabilization, with breakouts as Scotty suggested.…"

"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…"
"Don't attempt a CO2 system; IMHO, it's the wrong approach. Check out Rouse-Tech co2 systems for deployment; we use those in place of FFFF black powder systems, when employed in High Power Rockets exceeding 30,000' AGL. The rest of the time, it's a…"

"Stefano,
Geared reduction on external, mutli-turn pots, on the final axis drive shaft, give excellent results, IMHO. There are some very precise antenna trackers out there using this with the APM for accurate positioning. You're definitely on the…"
