Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I needed a hobby due to help me keep my mind occupied after coming clean off an illegal substance. I Always had an interest in the RC hobby. RC Cars, Copter, Boats and Planes. My uncle use to race RC boats when i was a kid and we would go every weekend and watch him race. I've had an high interest in the quadcopters for a couple years now. I have a couple cheap ones, and now i'm looking to build my own with the spare money i now have to put into the hobby.
