    @Gary And thank you for the link to the Register. Same story but a different viewpoint.

    @ Kevin thanks for that Fast Company link, I think I'm going to loose several hours in that site.

    Funny how the same thing gets reported in different ways ;-)

    CIA used 'illegal, inaccurate code to target kill drones'
    'They want to kill people with software that doesn't work'

    I came across this article on a lawsuit involving Predator operating software:

    I suspect it's all about money and the parties will come to an agreement.

    Major Marcy worked on it. She probably knows a lot more than we do.

    This operator probably should have been paying attention to it

    The nose camera, item 1, seems to be located in a good spot to view the yaw string.
    That might make for a neat open source project.
    Possibly use a gumstix overo with a camera to monitor the yaw string,
    send the sideslip angle out the uart to the autopilot...could be useful for gliders.

    Maybe the yaw string can be seen by the nose camera (#1 in the first photo).
