About Me:

Just a guy with too much time on his hands. I live a great geographic region of Alberta, Canada. Located on the edge of the foothills along the eastern side of the Canadian Rockies, It is only an hour drive (west) into the majestic Rockies., And to the east, is awe-inspiring,open prairie. Wide open blue skies and flat landing areas :) The only "con" is that it is always so bloody windy here. Since I am only a newcomer to this exciting hobby, I am still learning before I throw my money into the sky :)


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

I just wanna fly! I spend hours every week watching TV shows along the lines of Aerial America or Wings Over Canada...stuff like that. And I realized that now I have a chance to create my own spectacular aerial videography of my own "Back yard" (so to speak)

"Lets not forget to mention good radio shielding. Read about too many cameras have spikes of radio leakage causing UHF issues.
