Aerospace structural engineer that occasionally dabbles in crazy hobbies like my DIY drone. Also ham radio and high powered rocketry.


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

I decided to make a drone from scratch a couple years back, including the flight controller. The flight controller uses an 8-bit Microchip PIC (18F25K20) and is coded from scratch. I'm thrilled with how well it performs, although probably needs work and maybe a new uC to perform similar to a commercial drone. The RC reciever is commercial, but considering making an integrated reciever.
