Subatomic commented on Kirill's blog post SmartLink - 2x HD video, telemetry and control up to 20 km
"20km on 2.4, 2X HD feeds, AES, 75g, and all that without directional antennas? This is alien technology level."

Subatomic commented on Hugues's blog post Ardupilot 3" endurance build - autonomous micro quadcopter
"Can't wait to see how much flight time you get. Great build."

Subatomic commented on Duffy's blog post Performance design
"Nevermind, he's info from the masters themselves.

Next question, I'm thinking of incorporating this into an RC wing design, any comments?"

Subatomic commented on Duffy's blog post Performance design
"I'm curious about the dual tipped wings. Anyone have any insight and/or links to details about how they help performance?"

Subatomic commented on Zubax Robotics's blog post UAV Electric Propulsion System Survey
"Zubax, I looked at your Myxa product line. Maybe I missed it, but what are the amp ratings for the ESCs? "

"Here's a video with more build details. Ravi is correct, this is truly remarkable and defies all logic."

Subatomic commented on Charles Blouin's blog post 10 km high flight with a 1kg quadcopter!
"Does anyone know if there is a theoretical limit to how high a aircraft of this type can go (i.e. jet engine vs propeller)? The air gets thinner the higher you go, so there must be some point where the aircraft could not propel itself further up, no?"

Subatomic commented on eUGENE's blog post Is it possible to beat drone jammers?
"Also, of course you would use the compass and airspeed sensors to help maintain a direct path as already suggested. It wouldn't be very accurate, but with an IR beacon on the other side, the drone could constantly adjust to maintain it's path."

Subatomic commented on eUGENE's blog post Is it possible to beat drone jammers?
"I have been thinking of this problem for awhile. And the only solution I can think of is having a completely autonomous drone that does not rely on outside signals. GPS is easy to jam and in fact, you could easily direct a drone anywhere just based…"

Subatomic replied to Norimbo's discussion Bigger propellers on octocopter at the same size of frame
"There was a research paper floating around on the net that showed with a ~10% overlap, there was a ~5% increase in efficiency. Don't hold me to those numbers. It was something like that. Unfortunately I don't have the link anymore. Luc Maximilien…"

Subatomic replied to Norimbo's discussion Bigger propellers on octocopter at the same size of frame
"Why not do some testing with the original prop in the original configuration versus the "up/down" configuration, everything else being the same? Not only will you have your answer, but come back here and let us know what the results were. Nothing…"

Subatomic replied to S. Osborne's discussion English channel with (off the shelf, gutted) boat on autopilot.
"If you want cheap and DIY, get a used (i.e. Craigslist) sea kayak and strap on the gear (i.e. batteries, autopilot, motor, etc.). A sea kayak is one of the most efficient hull designs for a 4 knot craft. Mikota makes great motors (i.e. made for…"
