Are the same electronics going to be used in both Gizmo copter and POGO? Remember the teething problems J.C. had with simple connectors and such, vibration and G forces and it only takes one little bitty wire to loosen and you are out of control, so what are the plans to flight test your control hardware? Can you do tethered tests or drop from heights? How incremental can POGO testing be, is it all or nothing?


It will be the same electronics box, and more or less the same software. Gizmo should be a higher vibration environment than POGO., so it should help shake out anything like that. I think we can learn from Carmack's experience, and I plan to push for safety wiring absolutely everything that could possible come loose.
