thank you curt ... this was the first useful feedback that i received so i decided i must be in the wrong discussion group and closed it.

i'll work my side and see what we might be able to do. ...
note: we will seek out a few to test the prototypes once we are ready.

regards,
robert

Thats awesome. I will find time to sit down with you if your coming out here. I would love to learn more about some of this stuff. Let me know when your going to be here.

do you teach at the u of m?

oh okay, i thought i saw something about the u on your website and i guess i misinterpreted it.

thats interesting though, are you involved with the uav research group there? i'm going to be transferring to a university next fall and am curious how the u of m's aerospace engineering program compares with other public universities. have any thoughts on that one?

yeah that would be great, the malolo looks impressive especially with water landing capability!

Hi Curt,

I'd love to see your set up. When you're ready, just give me a shout. My home number is (952)445-0498.

Thanks,
Paul

how did the ocean demos go?

its too bad about the receiver. i work for tsa and can tell you that it's not likely that someone deliberately took it, but there may be a chance they had to search your property and they mistakenly didn't replace it. was there an inspection notice anywhere inside when you got to hawaii? generally luggage rolls through xray machines without any human interaction, unless it detects something suspect, at which point a person would put their hands on it.

i can provide you with the number to call where they maintain lost property. the guy has been there forever and logs everything that comes and goes, so if they have it he'd know. you wouldn't believe all weird crap they have have down there. but they do only retain it for a period of time before it's given to charity, so let me know soon if you want the number!

i guess on the lighter side, you got 1 successful flight and maybe even a tan!

Hi Curt,
due to your familiarity with FlightGear I figured to ask you: what is GPS resolution as reported by FlightGear? I think that for x-plane sim it's about 165 meters ( 0.1 miles) for longitude and 107m ( 0.07 miles) for lat - can FlightGear's GPS provide GPS data with better resolution?
Thanks

Hi Curt,
I had an 'oops' moment with my earlier comment to you - x-planes GPS resolution is much better then what I mentioned - I had a bug in the code where I am decoding the data....I would still be interested in FlightGear's GPS data resolution..
