About Me:

Programmer for the last 35 years. Kids have moved out, and I couldn't be happier. Ski and sail and fly kites, including combining the last two doing kite-boarding.

Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

Honestly I was inspired by B-5's Technomages to want to keep an eye on my house. In Feb '15 I bought a nano drone for $25. Took me 3 days to fly it comfortable off my desk (my spider plant hates me), but I was hooked. My best flyer at the moment is a Blade 350 QX3; I'm looking to get a Chroma as soon as I can. I very much enjoy getting good aerial footage and photos. Truth be told though, it's flying in one of the more agile modes that really gets me going. I'd rather be doing iFly, but this is as close as I've ever come outside a vertical wind tunnel to feeling like *I* was flying.
