"*grits teeth* "I only used what was in the approved kit..." *looks down and away*"

"I agree Matthew, rather than try to change public opinion by tossing around technical terms, it would be simpler to explain the difference between civilian and military equipment.  Think back to "Jets".  The first Jet aircraft were fighter planes…"

"Well the RC (non-FPV community) would prefer you not refer to them as RC Models, as they arent models they are fully functional scale aircraft ;)"

"ER9x firmware should solve your problems, its a software mixers dream.  Also, a suggestion might be to solder female pins to the reciever instead of soldering direct to APM?  to swap out if reciever dies or whatever"

"I agree, and as happy as I was to hear our community mentioned on The Daily Show (which i watch... Daily...)It was with a bit of malcontent as to how she spoke of DIYDrones.  The second time she mentioned she noted "anyone can go to do it yourself…"

"Which competition is this?  I live in MD and have not heard of anything..."

"@David  Yeah those are about the necessary mods.  I've had the foam holding the spar in break out so that needs reinforcement too (luckily i had rubberbands + 3m clips holding the wings in) spar snapped as well, wings have folded in half mroe times…"

"Exactly Gary, that landing just on a boat, very easy.     I'm not sure how many of you have ever been out on a large vessel, a cruise ship perhaps, but you can often see seagulls just floating midair flying into the wind, maintaining relative…"

"With the way nautical winds occur it is very likely that they are hand launching into the wind no problem, they could even land without the net with the ship moving into the wind, groundspeed matching ship's speed isn't too difficult with a good…"
