About Me:

I'm a journalism student at school in Ohio. From Charleston, West Virginia originally, I love cool stuff -- particularly anything with a motor.

Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

I've always been fascinated with remote controlled airplanes. Kits topped my Christmas and Birthday lists every year as a child. And long before learning how to use a computer, I dreamed of somehow attaching video cameras and squirt guns to their wings and terrorizing the neighborhood squirrels. As I got older, I decided those technologies were far beyond the reach of most hobbyists -- let alone a child. I gave up on my young dream of becoming an engineer/inventor/superhero and resigned myself to writing about cool stuff rather than building it myself. But then, I heard about this website and the marvels you guys are building. Building UAVs for real-word applications is a rather invigorating thought. Now, my squirt-gun-toting, video-camera-sporting (FPV, I've learned) plane of terror seems within reach. Squirrels, beware. I'm back.
