About Me:

Hello, I am a drone engineer in Korea who is building virtually every kind of drone that supports ArduPilot firmware. I currently work at a drone company as well, so I would like to share my diverse experience, and I also hope to receive help by communicating with experienced people in areas I am not yet familiar with.


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

I mainly build 10–25 kg class VTOL UAVs. They are lift-and-cruise types, and most of my airframes are made from balsa wood and aircraft plywood. For the flight controller, I use Pixhawk-based boards with the ArduPilot firmware uploaded. If possible, my dream is to develop an ultra-low-cost, hand-launched fixed-wing anti-drone aircraft designed for direct impact.
