    Change the coils, it would be a way better ride and hardly any pre-load with 700 pounders.

    Also, there are a lot of new faces here :spy:

    Build thread in sig... 4-link long travel
    For Mike. They just published a little blurb on our home page about the laser scanning/surveying we were talking about the other day. nothing too technical in the artical, since they want everyone to understand it, but somne good info. second picture is the actual scan. crazy realistic with the laser/camera combo

    article vvvv

    "Think you have a good eye? Jonathan Beaty knows he does. As project manager of Kiewit's laser scanning program, Beaty sees absolutely everything in a matter of minutes.

    Laser scanning is like surveying on speed — Beaty’s team builds an accurate 3D model of any facility in minutes, mapping out everything from the overall layout down to the smallest detail. The team is able to survey complex sites from up to 1,968 feet away with one-eighth-inch accuracy, up to 24 million square feet per day.

    "It's basically a 3D map. Once all the scanning has been done, the team can look at the worksite in detail, planning around existing structures and identifying needs," said Beaty.

    When the laser scanning team heads to a site like the Dominion Cove Point Liquid Natural Gas Terminal on Chesapeake Bay in Maryland, they get the whole picture. Their data comes in the form of a "point cloud," a three-dimensional set of millions of points colored in by a built-in camera. The end result looks and feels like an image from a video game.

    And yes, they can "walk around" inside the image, navigating, zooming, and surveying.

    The Dominion Cove Point LNG Terminal scans were captured this past summer. A joint venture between Kiewit and IHI Corporation, the project will modify the existing structures and add a liquefaction facility that will allow both import and export of liquid natural gas.

    "It's a massive facility, but our team is able to do the scanning work quickly. We use multiple scans that connect with fixed targets to create the whole picture. Internal GPS helps with positioning, and turnaround on the data takes just two weeks," says Beaty.

    The team has also worked on power projects, process plants, transportation infrastructure projects, and more, with more work coming all the time. It's safe to say the team has an eye toward the future, and just about everywhere else."

    sorry the pictures are so small. it's all i could pull from the article

    what the setup looks like

    this is what the final 3d modle looks like. full walk-through capabilities on the computer, and everything is dimensionable

    A couple of companies recently released a new survey grade LiDar for UAS... one of them has an RTF Octo that carries the thing :)
