Jimbo1981 commented on Joseph Lum's blog post Angle of Attack and Sideslip angle estimation from ArduIMU V2+ and GPS data
"Hey Joseph, I think you mean the flight path angle, because the angle of attack is the angle between the airflow and the wing cord. you can not get that from gps data. the flight path angle is always less, but this you can get from gps. And side…"

Jimbo1981 commented on Johann Van Niekerk's blog post FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Jimbo1981 commented on Johann Van Niekerk's blog post FOOD FOR THOUGHT
"Hi Johann, Sorry but I don't know a lot about this wing changes, but as you said because of foam wings this might be a working idea. Yes flutter and all that stuff is something to look at but on a wing on 2m or less I don't think this…"

Jimbo1981 replied to Fouad's discussion Score: XBEE pro (2), receivers (zero), Two receivers knocked down by XBEE?!
"Hi Fouad, I read your problem and I just read last night the manual for the xbee 900mhz that goes up to 40km or so. The manual is on sparkfun with a range test connecting the tx to rx. It said there in a note that you should keep the two xbees at…"
