About Me:

Long-time interest in flight, space and R/C modelling. Currently living in British Columbia, Canada. Moved to electric r/c from gas a few years ago before the new lightweight Li-Poly batteries available. Prompted me to start measuring propeller performance data and write software for analysis of powertrains. Interested in control theory and long endurance flights.
