About Me:

I'm 33. Big into videos games. I'm an IT professional currently doing User Support for Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, LA.


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

I've only dealt with electric RC car kits and such and have been interested in getting a a helicopter or quad for a while. Once I found Arduino and Arducopters I got hooked as I'm an IT guy, so the ability to program waypoints, etc, it really sold me. I'm planning on getting a 3DR Quad-C kit here very soon. I'll also be buying a FPV system for the thrill of flying without dying! I plan on using this site to post my progress from building to fine tuned flight. With the support I've seen on this site, I'm sure I'll be in good hands.

Mikey Cantoon commented on Yiduo Zhan's blog post Banning drones because of privacy? I think it is just an excuse.
"I don't understand why people are so concerned about privacy because it has a camera.  I've heard excuses that they can be used to spy on people or film private property.......Please, peeping toms and the like have been doing this for years, just as…"

"That's a damn good idea, there's just no real need to protect the middle of the craft when 99% of your hits will come from the outside area."
