That is a great question. It might depend on whether the drone was being flown for fun (recreational) or under a commercial operation. Under the 333 Exemption required for any type of commercial ops (photography, inspection, etc.), the operator of the controls must be a licensed pilot. In that...

Do you lean as aggressively after landing and while taxiing back to the tie-down?

Skip - I use the stick-on detectors and they work. During a routine panel scan shortly after takeoff I noticed the color had changed to sky blue. It was the first cool morning of the season and the first time I had flown with all the fresh air vents closed. I immediately opened both wing vents...

There is an interesting thread on the Stratux board. The original poster says absolutely yet one guy is questioning its function from a programmatic perspective. For $16 may be worth taking the chance. I'm going to order one. If you don't need AHRS...an alternative to RY835AI...

@Scrabo: Someone recently posted a link to this USB GPS dongle as a simpler alternative to the RY835AI (if one did not want AHRS). Any thoughts as to how well this might work / fit in the case? http://amzn.com/B00NWEEWW8

For reference, here's a link to the Type Certificate Data Sheet 3A12 http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgMakeModel.nsf/0/a444abc8f3357f6c86257ea4004e8ae6/$FILE/3A12_Rev_84.pdf

No guarantees, but the feature below (as explained in the FlyQ FAQ), combined with the earlier suggestions, might be a way to get where you want: --- You can enter a lat/lon as relative to a navaid or fix by using the navaid or fix ident, a slash, a radial (or bearing for a fix), and a...

Jim - that was fantastic - but to the original question - and apologies if I missed the answer :) ... 2 SDR's (978 & 1090) combined into one external antenna per this photo. This does not impact reception of either frequency?

Jim - did the red power LED on the Pi blink once in awhile? If so, its not getting the power needed and the first device to "brownout" are the USB connections (even though they may appear to be "lit"). Does the adapter you changed to have more than one socket? Sometimes the sockets have...

No typo. See this image: http://i.imgur.com/nXroJAd.png And this thread. https://github.com/cyoung/stratux/issues/61

Hank - go to TKM Michels directly for repair. They offer one of the most reasonable flat rate repair programs around (used to be $95). http://tkmavionics.com/support/

Leo - also fly an older 172 ('64) that has the original headliner. Once a tear starts in that old vinyl its only going to get worse the more you handle it. I ran into the same problem during my last annual ... we unzipped the headliner to inspect the aileron cables when we went to close it tore...

If you shutdown the StraTux server via SSH there is still power going to the Pi, but you've lost your WiFi connection. So at that point unplug the power, plug back in and let the system reboot. However, if while up and running you find a need to to restart the StraTux, you could issue: sudo...

Or, simply SSH to the device using a free SSH client such as ServerAuditor and issue: sudo shutdown -h now (or even simpler) sudo init 0 You'll see the lights go off on the antenna dongle and WiFi adapter. Then you can safely pull power.

I believe it needs to be 4000

Name the wifi network "NavWorxWIFI". It's expecting a different protocol when you name it like that. https://www.reddit.com/r/flying/comments/3g7urb/the_11390_adsb_receiver_for_foreflight_or_pretty/cuw6c7v
