"Nice to hear PX4 finally has an airspeed estimate!"
"ArduPilot support has moved to discuss.ardupilot.org"
"@Luka Which open-source autopilot is it mostly based on?"
"@Luka btw, I think stock ArduPlane v3.8.3 will fly this and articulate the tilt-motors without any code changes. Worth a look."
"@Luka custom from scratch? That sounds unwise with open-source solutions out there with Billions of flight hours of experience. Is it based on an open-source autopilot? That would make waaay more sense."
"What flight controller hardware & software are you running?"
"ArduPilot FTW!"
"Great work, Kees! Weren't you working on this several years ago back when I was active on UDB development?
Bummer to hear the hardware availability is in flux but glad to hear the project is still going!
Have you seen the soaring feature in…"

"@andreas ArduPilot support is coming soon..."
"please define the URUS protocol. By definition, if it is a protocol then it should be easy to describe it in detail."
"@Andy,
I was the one who contacted Gary regarding the autopilot title showing both. It felt more accurate because it was an autopilot you used. You used two. uBlox is not an autopilot, the column lists autopilots with the exception of "Pixhawk mini"…"

"@Andy I see that the suasnews website has updated your column"
"@Andy Opps, I mixed things up there. I was actually referring to VCU's Aries regarding using the estimator. VCU is listed as using your own autopilot but your paper says you're using a pixhawk hardware with ArduCopter's sensor code and EKF. Can you…"
"A few of the universities have contacted Gary about their autopilot status. Seems Bringham Young is using ROSflight instead of PX4 too. However, they are using ArduPilot for their estimator system because ROSflight appears to still use DCM."
"why multiwii? It's not exactly famous for it's autonomous flight abilities..."
"Lots of emphasis on the old flight controllers, without any mention to the new ones? Nothing Linux based? And why push the APM 2.x when it was depreciated several years ago?"
