About Me:
I have been involved with many aspects of flying including light aircraft, hang gliding, RC planes and micro-light aircraft. As an engineer I have been involved with automation within the packing and process environments.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I am interested in automation and control of homebuilt robots of which I have built three. Recently built a Quadcopter with a ArduPilot 2.5 and have had great success flying it in manual and auto mode.

"I have been flying my home built quad for the past 4 months using version 2.8.1 firmware. I delayed the change to version 2.9 until I had my quad flying reasonably well in most modes with the acceptable vibration levels needed for version 2.9.…"
"Of course looking at the line up of balls next to the tee this was only the local pro showing his caddy how not to be distracted by an Octo in close proximity. Yes Randy the retract landing gear is cool"
"Simple idea and impressive result. I am going to knock up something similar below my battery holder for when I fly my iPhone. Thanks for sharing this info"
"Excellent flight and stable video. Did your heart rate increase just a little?"
