Hello Rmackay

Maybe you can help me; I don’t know how, or where, to share a “new feature” proposal, in order to evaluate it for the “team”, maybe it is worth it. The idea is to open the possibility to mount a sonar to Multicopter, in order to measure the depth of the water body. I have some ideas that I want to share…
