I'm borrowing an Emlid Reach RX and it did not want to charge so I followed advice from the factory.
This will void your warranty
But its not mine so who cares!
The first piece of advice was completely disconnecting the main board from the battery, and be careful of that ribbon cable when you take it apart.
The second bit was to short the capacitors on the disconnected motherboard.
That worked for me and the unit has charged perfectly since.
Be aware that the mother board design has changed slightly but the capacitors are still clearly marked.

Two very simple ways to improve reception. Not as much gain as a colinear but much faster to make.
Everybody is talking ADS-B, even DJI are including Ping receivers in the new Matrice platform. It's cheap and simple to find out about ADS-B thanks to USB TV tuners.
We will be using the cut DVB-T antenna in the next more relevant drone ADS-B project.

Flying the autogyro again in SITL and imagining its getting really windy up at one of the highest most dangerous airfields in the world. Matekane, 7500' up with a 1500' cliff at one end. The wind is blowing at 26 knots straight down the runway and I need to find out how to make sure it keeps pushing forward to make the landing point.
This is me not understanding how to do it.
Quite fun watching it in effect entering the hover with a few meters to go.
