Any persons in the DFW area?

Wow, I forgot about this thread - I will consider the meetup on the 18th.
I found a group of people also working on drones within the Dallas Maker Space - Some may already be familiar with this group. https://dallasmakerspace.org/blog/
People are welcome to drop by - Thursday evenings and Weekends are good - There is almost always someone around.

I built a TRex 450 and flew about 6 years ago. I could hover, but never got much past that outside of simulators.
I enjoyed building the heli much more than flying it. I have been kicking myself that the machine has been sitting dormant for so long and automation is a good reason to get back in (systems automation is what I do professionally now, so it kind of works out).
I think I have all parts I need collected. I need to get through another project before rebuilding the heli, I expect in a month or two I will start tearing into it.
If people in or near Dallas wish to get together to compare notes and discuss, please let me know and I will try to organize something.
I have access to lots of arduino, parallax and lots of other electronics for a discount or for free. I don't have much experience with RC but if we get enough people together maybe we can put something together or work together to make something work.
I'm in South Arlington. I've flown helicopters long enough to be competent, but never the UAV stuff. Also have it set up for FPV, but never had the nerve and want a "copilot" the first few timesl.
Hi
I'm am in the far northeast fort worth/keller area. But I am very new to this too and looking for a group or something to get involved in.
