Excited about new Tech. Autonomous flight challenges me. I like the challenge, risk factor and winning. Have a DJI 550 and 91 in Super Sky Surfer both with Eagle Tree, tracking and video. Currently working on an X8 VTO project With AP 2.6 controllers. First hover test on 3-11-14 was successful. I want to get back into the challenging part of automation programming.
