About Me:

Based out of Arizona. Started way back when with custom pcb multiwii and wooden tricopter, which then lead me into laser cutting, along the way i was picked up by ROBOFLIGHT, where i taught myself cnc routing,and vertical cnc milling (HAAS). and still trying to fit the hobby into my schedule along with college night classes.


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

I started 2011, found a local with me who also was interested and we started building and flying, and mainly FPV. Flew everyday for 2 years, about 450 flights were flown FPV in that period. Went to the 2013 Multirotor challenge, had a blast there, and have tried since to find the time to fly. Been trying to stay in the private drone field. Worked for ROBOFlight for a few months, and now am working with DEFY gimbals.


Hometown:

Mesa, AZ and Fairbanks, Alaska

"..... i would have to say. this looks like a clone of bluesky's wasp frame, and frankly, i believe flying wooden frames for vibration damping is a world of difference compared to full carbon.  Let alone in a crash the chances of bending a motor…"

"My question would be range/delay.  
Ive always wanted to try, but have been waiting for the release of better encoding to lower the bandwidth required."

"In all my hours flying fpv. there is nothing like seeing yourself 3rd person, and controlling that view.
When following yourself horseback, to flying through your own legs standing up. All of those feelings that cannot be expressed in words.

"Just checking, didnt want to let that nice delta goto waste.  Need to find a way to mount a chicken's  in there with a mobius mounted on its head. Compare natures vestibulo-ocular reflex as a solid baseline :)  "

"Very good delta robot use!  Just need a coordinate system mounted on the wall and the camera pointed at it and a closed loop running to the camera to measure the error in tilt to create be able to graph the results.  might as well put laser level on…"
