About Me:

I have flown Helicopters for the past 35 odd years and have been fascinated with the ardu board hardware software and what can be achieved i'm also a fixed wing pilot and an Instructor on Helicopter and fixed wing.


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

I want to be able to fly both Quads Helicopters and planes using the ardu board and its auto piloting ability
