Venom57 commented on crystal garris's blog post 3 days to go, $15,000 to raise. Its fly or die baby!
"I'm so tempted to push this one over the top.  They're at $44,625.  I can't really see needing more than 2 ATM, which would leave them $15 under their goal........"

"an arduino based controller with temp feedback would be pretty easy to add to that cutter you've got.  While looking through the link in my previous post it did occur to me that the CNC based approach might be overkill for building a handful of…"

"Really nice video.  I'm absolutely considering this approach for a high aspect ratio ardupilot based design. I'd second the wire cutter, better yet, build a computer controlled one.  There are multiple advantages such as being able to cut many…"
