PVFlyer is working on making the 7 channel active with in his app now. But I'm not sure if his plan is to leave the channel open, or to use with gimbal control?
I currently like doing max altitude flights and may have a interest in something like the parachute. But, as I think about the benefits of having something like this, I can also come up with just as many reasons why not to have it. If flying directly above an extremely open area, then no doubt hook up the parachute system. But if tree's are in the area, then probably not. And, I'm not so sure what to think if wind is a primary concern. The wind alone could cause it to go far enough that high traveled road come onto factor. Maybe it's me, but it also seems to be priced a little high. If it weighed 1/2 of what it currently weighs, then it might be ok at that dollar amount.
