Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

I built a system back in 2000-2001 based on ADXL202s, fly-by-wire PWM pass through for manual take-off and landing, an I2C compass, and GPS. The whole project got increasingly more complicated because I built without designing and even when I was starting to etch PCBs for the controller, I still hadn't figured out that I had worked myself into a corner. When I finally got to the point of having a working .45 size flying trainer with the passthrough stuff working and everything I finally realized just how much I had screwed up by slapping things together. I set the project aside to regroup then my first kid was born and... it sort of just never got back on my radar. The Ardupilots and other home-built systems are so much more advanced than the stuff I was building and actually work, it's exciting to try and get back in. This looks like a good time to rejoin the drone world.
