Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

Father and I were briefly involved with model airplane building about 1957 while he was stationed at Lowry AFB, Denver CO. I was more interested in the electronics of RC flight and pursued electronics as a hobby, but soon abandoned interest in flyable models because of cost. The flyable aircraft hobby has lately become much more affordable with inexpensive RC commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) modules available to the hobbyist. So I have decided to again pursue the hobby I abandoned sixty years ago.
