About Me:
.NET Software Developer, learned about you on Wired. Very impressed with what the community has done. Considering investing into the hobby.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I love flight. I write software for the skydiving industry and teach classes on software development - now I'd like to see what limits we can push in syncronized drone flight, and high altitude freefall navigation (skydiving photography).

"Hi Chris. My APM 2.5 didn't come with the straight or angled pin headers that the description describes. I've emailed your store email address three times about the matter, but have yet to receive a reply over a week later. I can understand that…"
"After watching the video, I don't know any of the details about your rotor (granted I have no sound). I found it blurry and too fasted paced. I mean this might wind someone who's never seen a quadrotor in, or work as a late night infomercial - but…"
