Here is a big hi to the DIY Drones Community!
Long time reader, first time poster. I have a background in aviation but have never done anything in the RC space before.
I have just started my very first Drone project and am quite nervous and excited at the same time. Since i am so new to the idea i have decided to document my whole project on the web. I will be posting on the site www.projectia.com, so if anybody else is just starting or would like to answer the occasional question, come over, login and request to collaborate so i can pick your brains or you can give me some tips through my project feed. I should start to build my first stage in the next couple of weeks and i'll keep the project updated through the project blog.
Once again a big Hi to everybody in such a great community.

I have finished my mechanical kit and now moving on to the electrical and rc installation. If anybody wants to keep track of my progress feel free to follow (or if you have some pointers request to collaborate) my project page.

Welcome to the group. Speaking as an experienced newbie - make sure you have some spare parts. In learning to fly, I went through several props, three motors and a couple of hex arms. I am finally confident enough to fly with more expensive carbon fiber props.
