Is there an actual status of the different developments? I have seen on the reports of successful IMU flights. Is there a plan to move from the IR sensors to IMU, or should they work in comnation? What about the Lisa boards? Are some paparazzi boards easier to start with? Is there a table on the wiki showing which board is adequate for which application?
I'll probably start in March with a Maja from Borjet.de. My Payload is ~1Kg
Thanks Martial
