About Me:
Married 15 years to the same WONDERFUL woman who let's me play with my model airplanes and collect Porsches. I also have 10 year old identical twin girls. I have been fooling around with airplanes of just about every type and size since I was 9 years old.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I am working on a fully immersive remote cockpit with working gauges, flight stick, pedals, and a throttle quadrant. All modeled off a F-15 and F-18 jet fighter. Hope to combine flight simulation cockpit software/ hardware, FPV model airplanes, and UAV software and hardware to create the ultimate flying experience and possibly to market as a full solution.

"An ESC thats running hot like that is already broken. Dont fly with broken parts. If you do,you may get the mistaken impression that your cursed, your not cursed, your an R/C Modeler.
