About Me:

Broadcast video technician for more than 30 years now, I dismantled my first radio set at 6. I'm more an hardware guy than a code eater but I'm always amazed by the power of binary sequences specially when I see what you are doing here at DIY Drones!


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

As far I remember, I always be interrested by flying things. I begun five or six years ago aerial photography and video. I have an EasyStar, a TwinStar and a Moviestar for.. I have also a Corona and a X400 helicopters, but helicopters are really frustrating devices, small error and you should wait for spare parts... It's why Quadcotpers are a dream for me, specially the AeroQuad: I can do a big part of the vehicule by myself, parts are affordable, software is quite simple to manipulate and support from the forum communauty is awesome!
