"Awesome pictures though"
"Call me cynical, but If I were the FAA looking to crack down on idiots flying where I don't want them to, all I'd have to do is just trawl the pictures on this site"
"Phillip,
do you have any info on how we can order one? I'm holding off on my new quad build until it comes out and am just curious about the time frame.
Thanks,
Ryan"

Hi all,I was just wondering if anyone knew when (or if) 3drobotics will have the pixhawk II for sale. I'm looking at buying a ap for my new quad, but if the II is on its way, I might wait a bit longer.Thanks,Ryan
"@Jose Luis Cortes: ~12 kg. is still pretty big. It makes my iris+ feel like a toy, on top of that, i'm working on an even lighter ~1 kg (with batteries) ~2 ft. diagonal quad that is going to look so frail compared to yours :P One quick question,…"
"Jose,
Just visited your website. The Hybrix 100 must be massive! What do you think your pricing will be like?"

"Do they have their website up yet? Also, is it just commercially bought copters, or are custom-from-scratch copters also included?"
"By the way, I think that after this project I may make a completely carbon fiber flying wing (somewhat reminiscent of a german Horten HO 229 Gotha), so I was wondering if you've ever experienced interference with your electronics from the cf, since…"
"I always find it amazing how much a design can change after it is thoroughly thought through:)"
"Chris,
Since I'm trying to cut down on weight, I've decided to make a frame composed of a "+" of 4 carbon fiber tubes with a metal connecter in the middle, and then a shaft that comes down through the center as a mast of sorts. I'm going to use…"

"Chris,
I just googled the coefficient of thermal expansion of just the fiber itself, and unfortunately it looks like it is basically zero( a cte of <2, compared to aluminum's 13). So i've switched gears a little bit and am probably just going to…"

"Chris,
Thanks for the advice, it sounds like you have a far better understanding of the field than I do. I really appreciate your response, and it helps clear up most of my questions, but I do have one more: Have you ever measured the thermal…"

"Hi James,
That looks really cool. I have a quick question for you: Do you have any experience working with carbon fiber fabric and resin infusion, and if so, what have you found is the best weight/weave for said fabric? I'm planning on creating a…"

"Just to clarify, right now I'm thinking of a thickness of about 1-1.3 mm, so about 3 or 4 sheets of this:

Hi all,I'm looking at making a hexacopter drone body out of carbon fiber fabric, and am wondering if anyone has any expertise in this area and wouldn't mind helping me out a little. In your opinion, what is the best weave and weight for a very…
