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.
