About Me:

I'm a Minneapolis based filmmaker and stunt coordinator currently working as a User Experience Designer in the banking industry (I know right!?). I greatly enjoy design challenges. I love designing and building stunt equipment, puzzles, games, and functional and functionless art. http://www.technolols.com


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

Ultimately, I want to build a octocopter to carry a high end Red Epic camera

"One thing I never understood was why I had to reverse the throttle channel on my 8fg. I tried the reverse control on the flightplanner, but it didn't work at all. "
