"I run Mission Planner great on my iMac 27" and my MacBookPro 13". On the iMac I have Windows 7 running under bootcamp, and on the laptop I have XP running under bootcamp. Both setups work great, can flash, etc."

What are some bullet points for DRONE interview.

Posted on February 28, 2013 at 9:39am 17 Comments

I am a member of the DC drone user group (200 strong). We are having a fly in this saturday and I will be interviewed by a media person concerning the use of drones. I don't want to mess this up as this is a politically volatile time for drones enthusiasts.  

What talking/bullet points would you include? What are the things that I will kick myself for not including after the interview is done?

• Benefits of drones

• potential good uses…
