"Hi Carie,
I've used the RFD900 Tx/Rx with MultiPoint firmware to control multiple aircraft simultaneously.

"Excellent work Tridge!
What happens during QLAND? Would the under-carriage point into the wind like a Quadplane weathervanes its nose into the wind?"

"Hi Tridge,
A year back you might remember I blogged about a proof of concept solution to this issue by using a combination of single & multipoint firmware and 5 Tx/Rx.
Although we never tested it beyond line of sight it did seem to work remarkably…"

"Thanks for the report Tridge,
The CUAV's VQ Porter will go down in history as one of the great UAV S&R pioneer aircraft. I was privileged to see her fly in Kingaroy in 2014.
Are you planning to post the flight logs you speak about in your report?"

"This is great stuff Tridge. Happy to do a bit of testing."
"Hi deadhurricae, (If thats your real name!)
During this test the repeater aircraft never traveled anymore than 300m from either the quad or the ground station.
As you can see from the tlog the wireless telemetry connection was around 50% for both…"

"On the GPS do you have a steady red light?
The lights on my APM act the same as yours if my GPS is unplugged.
Recheck your GPS pins & cabling."

"Hi Nigel, have you tried sitting the Bix outside with a clear view of the sky for 10-15 minutes?
You should get a solid red light for power and a flashing blue for GPS lock on the GPS module."
