[arm-allstar] Configure node in the field

[Doug Crompton]

I was not aware of the rules since I don't fly any more but I was going to
say that it is kind of pushing it having a node running on an aircraft.
Besides the fact that the technology is not approved for use on a
commercial aircraft it also could be interpreted as some kind of explosive
device. I know if I was unaware of radio and I saw someone with a strange
box of wires and computer boards I would be uneasy. I am surprised you were
able to get away with it and I think I would cool it in the future.
