I understand Chris and respect your policy. With regards to the point of the thread I wonder if really you need to review the way the site is presented? We have discussed this before but to be honest it does come across as a military inspired site a…
Chris, you deleted my comment on a previous post on the grounds that it was political. I consider that some of the comments on this post are more so. At the end of the day of course its your call and I respect that.
Cheers,

Chris, with respect your moderation is rather inconsistent - I think you will appreciate why I am saying this.
There are a number of papers available on the internet on mine detection technology and basically there is no magic bullet and the view is that a range of technologies used collectively is the most effective approach - but complicated.
I am hoping…
Gateway to another Universe?
Dimitar, thanks for that. I actually stopped looking for the LEA5T because seemingly there is a bug in the firmware which affects its performance in RTK. The details are on the web page for the open source RTK.

Patrick, what notion?
When people can fly airliners into buildings without hindrance - I dont think an amateur UAV is a major threat...

My email to SPARC regarding Sparkfun cease and desist....
Dear Sirs,
I am writing to express my disbelief and disappointment that you have issued a cease and desist notice to Sparkfun in respect of their tradename. I am a customer of Sparkfun and have bought their products in relatively large numbers in recent time. I have never at anytime confused their products with yours and...
Out of interest I went to my search engine (Yahoo UK & Ireland) and searched for 'SPARC'. The first result was "SPARC - Strategic Promotion of Ageing Research Capacity".… Continue

Help Wanted - Opportunity to map several large African cities...
An opportunity to carry out aerial mapping of several large African cities using RC aircraft is being discussed. These discussions are at an early stage but if the project goes ahead then I am unlikely to have the time to do everything myself and will concentrate on the business side and managing the technical side. Anyone interested in getting involved please mail me at datapolo@yahoo.com

Interesting post about Africa. I started in 2007 doing aerial photography with RC electric gliders. I build my own designs which amazingly fly very well. Currently I am learning C programming and Ubuntu in order to be proficient with the Paparazzi project.
In 2005/6 I was the survey manager for a the Paero office of Works infrastructure in New Zealand. I then spent 18 months working on the coal mines in Queensland building a railway, roads and conveyor systems.. Did a lot of GPS work surveying and building the models for the graders which were GPS controlled. Even had a free hand cutting costs by doing a redesign on some of the infrastructure.
Software I can use, Autocad, 12d, civilcad and several survey packages, Leica etc.
I intend to complete my first autonomous RC glider volume survey in the later part of this year.
Your project as I said sounds interesting, I can be contacted on the following
