"Keep in mind that many plant stressors (e.g. nutrient deficiency) will have the largest and earliest impact by decreasing the concentration of absorbing pigments that will be detected in the visible range as increased reflectance, especially the…"
"I think the jury is still out as to whether these converted NIR cameras provide an improved ability to characterize and monitor vegetation. As Benjamin points out, the false NDVI image presented above could easily be inverted (or the formula…"
"Not really so far-fetched. Take a look at the Transport Canada's "NOTICE OF PROPOSED AMENDMENT (NPA): UNMANNED AIR VEHICLES" http://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/2/NPA-APM/actr.aspx?id=17&a...

"That's great to hear, thanks!"
Hi,Does anyone know yet whether the Solo will be compatible with Mission Planner out of the box? I would prefer to purchase a Solo instead of an X8+ but will require an ability to upload Mission Planner missions later this summer. Thanks,Rob
"Glad I found this. Had the same problem after installing a new Tarot control board. The radio calibration fixed the tilt dial shaking issues!"
"looks great. For GPS targets that we could transport easily on a commercial flight, I was thinking of getting a bunch of 12" stainless steel pizza pans (stackable and fairly light) then painting them fluorescent orange with a 5 cm black bullseye. …"
"Yeah, I don't get it. TC Canada wants all UAV operators to work towards being Compliant Operators, but what manufacturer or assembler is going to potentially open themselves up to liability by signing off on onerous certificates of compliance and…"
"I agree with Rob - it all looks fine and reasonable until you read the 9 km built-up area restriction. What is the safety rationale for needing a 9 km buffer from say a small town? "
"Thanks Bertrand and George - that makes things clearer re: the training requirements. I wonder if someone will offer a distance learning program in short order that would fullfill this need...

"That's good to hear, Andre. Despite our successful flights last summer, I have read about numerous issues using DJI's Naza and GPS at high latitudes. In fact, the Naza-M manual goes as far to say that the "Compass module CANNOT work in the polar…"
Hi all - I am wondering if anyone here has experience flying a Pixhawk-based multicopter at higher latitudes in the Arctic. We are purchasing an octocopter with Pixhawk and 3DR uBlox GPS for use in surveying around Tuktoyaktuk, NWT next summer…
