About Me:

IT member at a construction firm that is interested in using drones.


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

At my job I have worked with drones to measure aggregate piles and photograph the landscape. We've used a quad drone, a Parrot Disco, and hoping to use a Flite Test Explorer.
