@doot lufta looks awesome! Are you actively working on this?
In Madeira I was mentioning this project as a non-conventional case of freedom tech
My time in madeira is so blurry, but now that you mention it I kind of remember you saying something
Poncha and weed tend to make things blurry
This is not inaccurate
yessir 🫡 slamming long days on it at the moment, gonna be my whole life after i finish up at umbrel. feel free to zap me 4 BTC if you’d like some equity.
How's the R&D going so far?
this is my 4m Minke mk1. now working on a 8m ship which will have solar cells for extended flight endurance, and hopefully better power for handling autonomous flight outside. https://image.nostr.build/dd661544fc51be693bac6a3f6d96ace61b9eeabfbff87fade0271a4d25630504.jpg
How does it perform in the wind? You probably just have to work with the currents instead of trying to fight them? Also, the foliage looks like Australia?
Oh also, are you using something like ardupilot?
yep, pixhawk/ardupilot have been good to me so far. but i’m working on moving to this https://github.com/nickrehm/dRehmFlight 20km/h and above winds are deadly for these smaller ships. and yes, this is in melbourne.
