"@Tridge
Great!
I've got RFD900 radios, which I think are the best performers in that price range. I'll have to see how well they handle 50 msgs/sec."

"Very reasonable, safe and fair rules, imo. The commercial floodgates are about to open.

Couple of comments. These rules could have been anticipated just be reading the exception documents issued by the FAA for years. Also, Intel's sense and avoid…"

"This list of commercial rules tightly reflect the rules already found in the recent FAA exemptions. Get ready for them to be made official."

"For a different perspective on UAV safety concerns, please take a look at the numerous blog posts at the Aviation Week Web site.

Pilots are very concerned about the growing…"

"Bravo. The next phase of UAV development involves higher levels of integration. Solid APIs are exactly what's needed. Glad to see leadership in this area."

"Richard - You're not serious, I hope. Sorry, but these are the kinds of myopic hobbyist thoughts about air safety that make me just shake my head.

I've heard others say things like they can control the aircraft more safely using FPV than with line…"

"Wonderful post to read, Tridge. Congrats to you, your entire team, and to all who competed!"

"Please understand that I believe NASA is trying to do their best in managing this program.
My frustration, as well as the frustration of some others here, is that the team I'm working with has spent the last 9 months developing some pretty…"

"Sorry to say this, but NASA has really messed up the management of this Challenge program. Here is the very first sentence of the original NASA UAS Challenge announcement published way back in November of 2012:
"The NASA Centennial Challenge Program…"

"Congrats, Serge and Lian Pin. Keep up the great work as evangelists for UAV use in conservation. "

"Petrus,
That's a terrific combination of ideas and technology. It's great to see such ideas applied to the poaching problem. The poachers seems to be winning the battle. Ideas and technology like this are needed for leverage against them, imo.…"

"Euan,
Nice video showing excellent gimbal performance!
Can you post some photos showing your setup? Links to the products mentioned would also be very helpful. 
Cheers! "

"Congrats to Research Drones and to ConservationDrones. It's always great to see examples of drones being applied in a positive way. And especially to support conservation! Congrats again. "

"Byron,
Thanks for starting a good discussion. I commend you for using UAVs in useful ways with positive impacts. I agree with your thought. Do good, get good. We need more of that.
Wildlife research/protection are great applications of this…"
