About Me:

Farmer part time and work in Canberra as a technology supplier when not working on farm.


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

Uavs for agricultural applications. My specific interest is biodynamic farming techniques especially compost brewing and learning how to use RPAS to monitor results. NIR and hyperspectral imaging are of my primary interest as sensors. Am building condor skywalker as a starting point. Have not finalised sensors yet and I am open to options and I am thinking this forum is ideal to start the project moving.

"I'm still asking the exact same question. Zephyr or skywalker. Drone university is right on the money. However in my case I wanted to leap right in and ignored all the best advice. The skywalker is a forgiving platform and is easy to fly. Do not…"
