About Me:

I'm a web developer and computer programmer and I have a huge interest in the field of finance and investments.


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

"Gary - what do you mean? The problem that I'm having with it, and correct me if I am mistaken, is that the motor that I got, the Exceed RC Alpha 480, is meant to be installed the other way around with the adaptor and spinner attached to the other…"

A few weeks ago I was looking for a topic with pictures of the Project RQ-11 Raven in its entirety along with some close up shots of the fuselage but couldn't find one. To help you guys out, especially anyone here thinking of buying this model, I've…

Robert Godlewski replied to Ron Skingley's discussion Electronic trigger for Panasonic Lumix

Hey guys -As I'm waiting for my first real model airplane to arrive, the ProJet RQ-11 Raven from NitroPlanes, I can't help but ask, has anyone ever experienced a Lipo battery explode?Here's a video of one doing just…

Robert Godlewski commented on Robert Godlewski's blog post UAV flying in/around New York City?
"Now after looking at some of his videos and pictures, I think the QuadCopter/OctoCopter idea is pretty neat. I have a backyard behind my house which isn't that big (~25ft x 45ft) but I think it should be enough to use as a testing ground.

Thanks a…"
