3689607014?profile=originalWe at the Low Orbit Helium Assisted Navigator (LOHAN) mission are delighted to welcome on board Linus Penzlien, well known to DIY Droners*, and who'll be lending a hand crafting custom mission parameters for our Vulture 2 spaceplane's Pixhawk autopilot.

Thanks to Andrew Tridgell for recommending Linus for the job. The Hamburg native will be flying out to Spain next month to get hands-on with the Vulture, and the results will no doubt be of interest to APM:Plane aficionados. It's going to be a team effort, and we'll keep you posted on just what coding magic is worked on our ballocket flight's autopilot. There's more on Linus right here.

*Is that the official term?
