    Anyone in this group doing the first RPA licenses in SA?

  • @Gary - it is called "life happened". Started a new job (not my own boss anymore) and getting married (*really* not my own boss anymore).

  • Hi guys (girls?),

    I have an aerial photography (for GIS) project that I need to do in the Western Cape (Overberg). It is a 27km stretch of a river that needs to be flown and the images georeferenced.

    Unfortunately my Talon is not ready yet - anybody interested in doing it?

    You can PM me. 

    Cheers

    Walter
