Given our current focus on The Flying Thing and the recent OpEd by Peter Singer over at NYT , I thought it important to note an internal ethical debate we have had around the shop.  In short, we are adopting the Three Laws as part of our values statement.  I prefer not to get into a political debate about the use of suAS/drones in combat, so let's just say we do not support any use of our technology (drones or otherwise) that violates the Three Laws: 

I arrived in Denver on 15th January after a SHORT trip (34 hours only, not much!!)

My host has been most hospitable and I have been welcomed into their home and taken care off. Thanks!

Coby showed me Fort Collins and we got to sit and think about the demo. What's there to think about? A lot! In additional to functionality, we need aesthetics as well (otherwise we would all be driving box shaped cars and that would be the only universally accepted design for a car! :-) ), which of course means careful consideration, although of course this has been our last consideration.

This is a long - and overdue - post. Caveat Lector.

Apart from some specific meetings and basic infrastructure tasks, Moses and I had only a general sense of agenda. Because we've both traveled to other countries and cultures, we share not only a basic curiosity about how things and people work, but also a deep respect for the knowledge that can only come from immersive experience.

Here are some short followup videos on the Bixler!

Someone (Gary, thanks :) ) suggested sloap soaring! Its time to hid advice! After my trials and crushes and success, I beleive the Bixler is the ultimate testing and learning platform.

Though at first intimidating, getting over fear of crushing soon reveals a graceful yet powerful platform from whence to launch all manner of research & experimentation towards the universal goal: HAVING FUN!!

Oh, the videos? :
