"Looks well thought out and nicely made. Are you selling these? If so, where is your website so I can learn more?"
"@Kevin - Why not use a couple nylon cable glands? Just be sure to mount them on the topside so you don't have to worry about a hull penetration."
"Nice project. Where do you live that you have zebras and old waveski's laying around? ;)"
"Perfect timing, I need a PixHawk for an underwater drone project I'm working on. BTW, how long does it normally take 3DR to process an order? I placed my order early yesterday and its status is still "processing"."
"I like the look of that 6 foot kayak. With a maximum carrying ability of 150 lbs you should be able to carry a good sized battery bank.So with no rudder and two thrusters, will you mount the thrusters in a fixed position and turn "tank style" or…"
"@David - That's pretty impressive. What voltage are you running the T200's at?"
"This has been on my "to-do" list as well. I'll be following your progress, good luck!"
"I had to watch the second video before I realized what was going on. The position control is really impressive. In spite of pushing the ROV, it maintains depth almost perfectly. Most commercial ROV's I've flown are barely able to maintain a depth…"

"Sounds like what you want is a dynamic positioning system ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_positioning ). I've been thinking about designing one my self. There are a lot of factors to consider, one being how you are going to thrust the…"
"BacklashRC makes some good points, particularly how these new regulations conflict with existing law. But those laws and court decisions were made before personal drones became an issue. I think there are two main issues here that the FAA needs to…"
"@Jimmy Oliver - In the cases that you just listed: a roofing contractor, pool installer, wedding photographer, wouldn't it be prudent to visit the neighbors, inform them of your plans, explain to them how safe your operation will be, and then ask…"

From what I'm reading, it makes it a crime to fly a UAV less than 350 feet over someone else's property without their permission. People want…"
