About Me:
Im a mechanical designer out of Salmon Arm, BC, and self proclaimed Solidworks expert. I also have some programming skills and an infatuation for anything that flys
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
Currently developing a "out of the box" experimental VTOL UAV. I build my first quad a few years ago and my interests have progressed to developing my own platform which I wish I had more time for.

"Very nice design! I can tell you have put a lot of work into this.
What is the actual range and speed with a 2kg payload in the cargo bay?
Also do you have a video showing the landing/takeoff with a 2kg payload, and maybe a little bit of wind? It…"

"Nice Work! looking forward to the kickstarter campaign!"
"I'll start with saying nice job, I envy your drive to get this off the ground and hope your project is successful!.
And as you should probably have expected from this site, and you have already received from other members, here are my criticism and…"

"im curious if you can still do this kind of landing with a full payload??"
"what material are you using to print the wing?"
"AHHHHHHHHHH UAV PORN AT ITS FINEST, thx, made my morning"
"did you find it useful? i managed to get my hands on comsol but its so hard to learn, i know sw well so i will try and get my hands on a flow module if you have found it useful"
"criticism aside it is cool, they will get there soon enough"
"oh look! he's moving his hand to simulate a tree branch in the wind and it still lands on his hand!

Ya its close but there is nothing more annoying than someone claiming to do something they almost did."

"in my opinion, if your flying an aircraft where pigeons are getting shot by rednecks, expect to get shot at lol"
"honestly, first thing that came to my mind, motors will overheat, and i have never broken a motor, maybe bent a shaft but thats it.
im curious about this printing parts your talking about can you explain more?"

"I think most of us know that a day will come when owning an RC vehicle that flys will not be as simple as we are used to. I can see it being much like owning a car or truck, licenses, vehicle reigistrations yadda yadda and not only that but laws,…"
"my honest opinion, cool animation, but you need to look at the dynamics of your platform a little colser, as per above comment, there is no way your going to balance all that weight on two thrusters, i am a fan of edfs tho."
