About Me:
I am an Aerospace Engineer working in the unmanned systems field. I have been working in this field for 10 years. I own my own company that I do consulting and contract work through. I currently do design, integration, testing, and flying of unmanned airplanes and helicopters. I do both internal and external piloting. I have flown vehicles that range in size from 2.5 lbs all the way up to 550 lbs. I am always looking to expand my customer base and share the knowledge that I have built up while working on unmanned systems.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

I have had a very frustrating weekend working on my Octorotor. I ran into some strange issues with Mission Planner and wireless telemetry. I had not flown my Octorotor in a while, so I started with the same configuration that I had previously…
Here are two news stories from the training exercise I helped conduct last week in south Texas. We were training the Texas A&M personnel on how to operate as the ground crew for the UAV system they purchased last year. They did a great job and it…
"Sounds like it has nothing to do with the FAA....sounds like they are going for the cheaper option....

"Hi Garry,
I remember that demo very well. It was the last time that I flew Hornets at Webster Field (sad they took away the live demo portion of the conference). We measured wind gusts of 21mph on the ground that day while I was flying. I did…"

"Hi Martin,
You are correct. The system flown for the demonstration started as a T-Rex 450. I then designed new lower side frames, lower plate, landing gear, and canopy. There were a few other modifications required to make it an unmanned system.…"

"Hi Jack,
Thanks for reading this post.
I agree with you that the video quality shown on the air was certainly not on par with our normal video quality and was actually quite horrible. This was in no part due to our video equipment, nor was it due…"

Adaptive Flight was contacted by CNN and ask to bring a UAV down to the studio and fly it on live camera while talking about it with the host Don Lemon. So we took a Hornet Micro and headed down to the studio. It was a lot of fun to show off this…
"Get ready for more stories like this as the FAA starts taking their blinders off and starts taking a more active role by cracking down on "illegal operations". According to the FAA, right now, there is zero commercial (in the private sector that…"
"@Doug: You are correct, although, there is no need to wait or require any new development to remove the need for “piloting” from unmanned helicopters. That is how some of the systems that are already on the market operate today. With the need for…"
"I would also look into Airstar International (http://www.airstarintl.com/). I have flown both the Bergen Observer and the Mongoose and would pick the ASI Mongoose every time! I an not a huge fan of the canopy that some of them ship with, but the…"
"Yes, the Schiebel's are very nice helicopters. They are a very professional helicopter and work very well operationally. But the cost is going to keep them from entering the private sector (even the movie industry, a film services company, and…"
"This is awesome! I was hoping someone was able to make this happen! So many uses!
