About Me:
Technically minded, love doing things with my hands and with a degree in Aviation Management from UNSW, love the industry. Currently working at Airservices Australia as an Aviation Traffic Management Officer and looking at bringing cheap, functional, intuitive and safe UAVs to the general populace :)
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
It all started off watching a news report on UAV's and I thought to myself I want to get involved with this and possibly make a career out of it. Since then I have learnt so much about UAVs, design, construction, autopilots, regulations and so much more. I hope to continue learning and bring cheap, safe, functional UAVs to the public.

"Thanks Chris. I think I know what happened. The Mapbox post link for 'don't fly drones here' is only for North America however the droneshare.com link is worldwide. It looks like you have all the Australian ports covered but I can help out a bit…"
"This is a fantastic idea for the community to come together and create a solution. Would this map be extended beyond northern America in the future?"
"Software skills, hardware hands and aviation adaptability. Love it Kabir. Don't be surprised if we speak again :)"
"The audio is located at http://www.aph.gov.au/. Then click on the "Watch Parliament" tab near the middle of the page and the one we want is the last event down. It appears they have changed the times for this roundtable as well. It will now start…"

"Just wondering if anyone ever found a transcript for the roundtable inquiry? I've sent off an email to them so if no one else finds it I will post it here."
"Well done Toby!
I have past experience with 3D CAD using Rhinoceros (ironically considering the competition) and would be willing to help out!"

"I've just found out that you can centre click (scroll wheel click) on the picture which will open it up in a new tab. Then the magnifier will be available to blow it up to the full resolution :)"
"I think the main use for this UAV is for path scouting. The article does state that it's an off road vehicle so this UAV could be used for quickly finding the best path to go down a steep hill."
"Just wanted to confirm that the autopilot will not arm ("Failure to arm - Bad throttle") if you do not have a RC transmitter and only using the onscreen joysticks?
Is this because as it states on the wiki "have your radio at the ready this is BETA…"

"That sounds very exciting Erik!
Yes that answers my question very well, are you looking at expanding? As in looking towards building a complete UAS complete with ground station, autopilot, camera, etc using your frame?"

"Great work Paul!
Did you 3D print this off using your own printer? How did you incorporate the OTG cable with the radio? Is it a simple USB interface or did you do some more hacking?"
