About Me:
I am 49 years old and have been flying R/C aircraft since I was 15 years old. I have an Advanced Class amateur radio operators license (my callsign is: VE7UV) which comes in handy flying R/C aircraft because I fly on the six meter (50 MHz) amateur radio band and can use high power 900 MHz video/audio transmitters to send the video from an R/C airplane down to the ground. Although I do enjoy flying R/C airplanes very much, my main hobby is astronomy. I am presently looking for a good medium sized airframe to use for building my new drone, and would like to hear very much suggestions from others on this group what to use.
