Can't ignore a sensible customer request. Coming soon in the next Vortex update you will be able to remotely tune parameters using a spare channel of your radio. When you are happy simply land and press [+] to save.

Now that IS a crackin idea!! I take it you choose the parameter with the datapod and then use the twist knob on the radio to fine tune the value? So you can tune which ever parameter you want??Some say my left nipple is the shape of a Raptor canopy.......... And that for fun I chase sheep in wellies 3 sizes too big. All I know is I am 3D Clod

That's right. You select the parameter you need and then press the [+] and [-] buttons together for a couple of seconds to active remote control mode. Then use a spare knob/channel of the radio to adjust it. When you are happy you land and press [+] to save it.

Nice idea! Seems easier than bank switching, but I don't use that anyway (even though I keep meaning to tinker with it!)Harry

I had quick look through it... they seem to list lots of common control theory knowledge as their "inversion". Also much of it is prior art (has already been done by others or ideas mentioned in the public domain).Originally posted by Andy from Sandy View Post
An approved patent means nothing. You need to be able to defend it and that is not cheap. You would need to spend at least £100K in legal fees and costs to claim an infringement and a lot more than that if the other party defends it.
Finally, so let's say someone manages to stop me making a top class flybarless system because I don't have the resources to waste to defend that all the junk in patent is common engineering knowledge applied to a different engineering problem. Will they be better off? Well, I can tell them now one of two things will happen 1) I will sell my software to a few Chinese manufacturers and see if they care about the patent! 2) Make it an open source project and sell the hardware for it tested and pre-calibrated, ready for a firmware update. Other variants are also likely to surface as well as commercial implementations based on it. They will shut down one competitor and gain 20.

Not sure exactly what was approved form the original EU filing though and the USA one is in the process of being rejected. They can still try again over there, but I wouldn't be too hopeful unless they limit the filing pretty much to their firmware at which point it isn't all that useful except against the most blatant of clones, which may of course be all they need ...Comment

The fact that they filed shouldn't worry anyone, least of all you Angelos.
Let's see what they do with it.
If they use this to prevent the import of Chinese clones then it would seem a not unreasonable approach, possibly a waste of money, but it is their money to waste.
if they come after other genuine innovators in the market like Angelos, then they will lose a lot of respect and support from the community. I doubt that is what they have in mind, if they in fact have any plans to use it at all right now.Last edited by Mark_T; 11-03-2013, 05:05 PM.Comment

I was merely asking the question and if it did affect Angelos I sure wasn't expecting an answer in a public forum.
My apologies for mucking up your announcement Angelos. It is a very nice feature.Comment
