The Problem
Crashes cost us all—parts, time, and frustration. Complex flight planning only makes it worse. We’re developing a free tool at intel.aero to tackle these issues, offering instant feedback on flight plans (line-of-sight, battery life, error checks, obstacle scans) to keep drones flying and downtime low.
Our Ask
We’re inviting a group of passionate pilots to test this tool while it’s in development. It’ll eventually be open-source for everyone, but you’ll get early access to new features and a chance to influence a platform that could transform autonomous flight.
Who Should Join?
RPAS operators, hobbyists, or developers—anyone into autonomy, line-of-sight tools, battery management, or safer planning. If you fly drones and want better tools, we need your input.
What’s in It for You?
- Early Access: Use tools to make flights safer and smarter now.
- Your Input Matters: Share what works or doesn’t—we’ll refine it.
- Shape the Future: Help build an open-source standard for drone pilots everywhere.
What to Expect
- Instant Value: Catch flight risks before takeoff.
- Beta Stage: It’s early—bugs happen (most fix with a refresh)—but your feedback will perfect it.
- Collaboration: Join Q&A sessions and check how-to guides on YouTube.

Feedback Missions (Your Input Needed!)
Share via the website form or email kieran@intel.aero:
- Line-of-Sight Tools: Test station visibility—how can it improve?
- Battery Check: Try the energy config—does it match your needs?
- Plan Verification: Upload a .kml—does it spot errors right?
- Obstacle Assessment: Are hazards flagged well?
Known Issues (Beta Note)
It’s a demo—glitches occur (refresh usually helps). Not for critical ops yet, but your bug reports will speed up fixes. Details and fixes below.
Don’t Wait
Join us to test, tweak, and build something great for the drone community together.
Note: I’ve just transferred this across from ArduPlane everyone, so sorry about the spam if you’ve seen this already. I’ll now update this thread with updates as we go.
