"I'll check those pages out, thanks guys. One of the challenges is that the aviation forecasts including cloudbase are usually only available for ICAO airports. For example, I live about 6 miles away from KLGA, and I would often look at the KLGA…"
"I am able to add visibility, but the weather forecast API I'm using doesn't provide current or forecast cloud base."
"Sorry for the outage, the Wing Kp model has some invalid date/times right now, made the code robust to that. Sky cover is cloud cover."
"Glad you guys like it. I added a FAQ which explains the Kp index:

"The GPS satellites have a 24-hour orbital period, so they're in roughly the same place in the sky at the same time every day. Their orbits do change slightly over longer periods of time though so the number of visible satellites is not always the…"
UAV Forecast provides a comprehensive forecast of flying conditions by combining weather data, visible GPS satellites, and solar flare (Kp) activity. It's completely free! Visit the new site here: http://www.UAVForecast.com
Brand new PX4Flow, used a few times but in perfect condition. Works great. With lens cap and DF13 6-pin to 6-pin connector. $120 shipped CONUS.https://store.3drobotics.com/products/px4flow
"It's a bridge. That could well have contributed to the TBE-like effect, though the underlying cause was a bad attitude estimate from the DCM algorithm, I think."
"The compass is fine.
I eventually figured I had a classic case of "the leans". I've switched to EKF now, so far so good.

"Yes, all four corners are still attached to the vibration dampening mount."
On my fifth flight today, something very strange happened while flying loiter mode. My copter started to drift from side to side as if trying to make a large circle, and I had to fight it hard to retain control. I have checked the logs carefully and…
"Sandro pointed me to his post-onion version (thanks, that looks like it was hard work!). I have merged it with master and also made a few small tweaks (mostly switching to AHHYBRID, which I personally prefer). You can grab it here if you are a…"
"Great tip, thanks Sergio!"
"Looks great! Nice work. I'll PM you my address. What printer did you use?"
"The 3D Hubs print was done using PLA filament, as was the Makerbot store print. And I agree, nor would I, especially for that price."
This review compares three 3D printing services available to me in the New York City area, all of them local and two of them able to ship. I had them all print a set of anti-vibration mounts for the awesome PX4 and Pixhawk flight controllers from 3D…
