Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Several Issues about Purchasing Paparazzi Hardware

[Arun Sajeevan]

Dear Chris,
Thanks a lot buddy for your info.So u say its the best to fly under
fuel propulsion? Since we were incorporating image recognition SW
onboard we didnt want any kind of vibrations.This is the reason why we
thought about an electric propulsion.Does thermopile flying have any
kind of probs as such?
Yours
Arun
