Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

Since a recent motorcycle accident has unfortunately rendered me wheelchair-bound until medicine advances beyond our current capabilities, I have a lot of time to study these vehicles and am captivated by the potential these modern marvels possess. I have been a 3D Helicopter pilot for a few years now, and have added a handful of multi rotor flyers to my fleet of traditional single rotor helis; many think I am starting a museum when they see my hangar. :)

"Thanks very much I will try and post back my results. By the way, just wondering if there's any other thing to be mindful of seeing as to how my goal is to connect using the Bluetooth -> 3DRadio module I've slapped together?"

I am very impressed with what looks to be a very in-depth and well on its way project as I viewed it on GitHub. It appears you are adapting the paparazzi code and have it working well, as evidenced by the fact that I saw a sub module listed…"
