Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

The technology available now is fascinating to me. In 1979 I built perhaps the world's first electric drone carrying a 35mm camera using nicad batteries and motors from RC cars. Everything had to be hand made as there were no parts that could be ordered. It has (I still have it), a 10 foot wing span in order to provide the lift with the puny motors and heavy batteries. I want to learn the new tech and I have a possible commercial application in mind.
