About Me:

I'm just a basic hobbiest with occasional ideas about building new things.


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

I would like to build a quad drone that can lift about 1.5kg. I want to design it so I can mount small yagi antenna on the top and a android phone under neath that is viewed by the camera
