Hi all. I work closely with the Mining Industry as well as the Oil & Gas Industry and see high value in developing a small UAV with LIDAR, FLIR, and other tech. I have a MS in Aerospace with a concentration on Automatic Flight Controls and Artificial Intelligence and want to get some prototypes going. I have stayed out of the game because I found revenue in other ideas (see my LinkedIn). I have been doing a lot of software development and miss the math and fun of flight control. If I can be of use, I would love to help or collaborate on a project. On a side note, I may have access to an investor or two but need to put together a serious proposal, but since I'm no GIS/mapping expert, not an EE, and not a comm specialist, I am going to need to learn or get help from you experts. So email me at mike.lyons@9threeSolutions.com or PM if anyone is interested in designing and building a large scale (25lb+ payload capacity) quadcopter for fun and profit (and I will share that profit!), or if I can get involved with a similar type project. To moderators: sorry for the double post on the comment wall. I meant to put it here.

hey im pipeline designer. I just got my phantom about 2 weeks ago. my company is on the verge of supporting me with it. there is so much you can do with theses things. run pipelines, get ground elevations, and avoid safety hazards. im in the process of putting something together for them. I found my self in a great spot with being a ACAD designer. but I would love to collaborate with other people and put ideas together because I feel I would have a better opportunity if I did it with a group of people who see the potential as I do.
