I enjoy spending time with my family and my dogs. I like to play golf and just about any other sport. I like the outdoors and Florida weather.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I've been an aviation enthusiast since I can remember my grandfather who built homebuilt experimental aircraft on his farm. I got my private pilot license when I was 17 years old and recieved a Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. I'm currently a systems engineer designing commercial navigation radios for an avionics company and I have a few RC planes I would like to convert into fully autonomous UAV's (just for the fun of it).

How can I tell the position / time of points along my flightpath by looking at the logged data?I have converted the log to KMZ and opened it in Google Earth but still cannot seem to tell the lat/long/time at any specific point.Also, can't make…
"What did the neighbors think when you rolled that out of the garage? I get strange looks when flying AC2 in the driveway."
Hello all, I'm new to electric motors and I've read lots of horror stories about charging LiPO's, so excuse the noob question. I just received my ZIPPY Flightmax 2200mAh 3S1P 30C LiPO and IMAX B6-AC charger for my quad but none of the connectors…
