About Me:
I have been designing, building and flying UAV's, quadcopters etc since 2010. I enjoy designing all kinds of things.
Proficient in Solidworks, 3D printing, CNC CAD/CAM, arduino, some programming, spatial data, Unreal Engine.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I design high-end aircraft/payloads and software / hardware systems, was one of the first to get a quadcopter to fly for more than an hour. I have designed a number of commercial and consumer systems out there.

"Yeah orbit is a whole milestone of it's own compared with getting up to space, as you stated, I have spoken with people about the feasibility of low cost space exploration as well, you will always get those who won't see it, everything is a…"
"Thanks!
Simply awesome!
Good to see people doing these kind of projects in a serious manner at a lower budget!
are you intending on achieving LEO eventually or just sounding?
Taking off from a Zero Pressure Balloon effectively, could definitely cut…"

"Sounds good :)
Do you have any pics or additional material? I would be really interested to know more about it what you are doing.
Good Luck!

"Hi Guys I have made a video from some of the data gathered from my UAV platform, it will probably be of interest to this group, let me know what you think...

"Depends on your local radio frequency requirements,
For Australia, 5.8GHz for video, 2.4GHz for TX, 900Mhz for Telemetry is the best combo,
Look up US requirements or alternatives for these frequencies, I think 900Mhz there is swapped with 433Mhz…"

"Hi Adrian, this is a very good idea, and nice work too...
Integrating it with an android APP which computerised its functionality more, would be pretty cool as a next step.
Not sure if I would dismiss it as a product, I use controllers $1000 or more…"

"Hmm...
If you are judging an autopilot by how pretty it looks or put off by being able to see the circuit board, perhaps take up knitting instead...
All jokes aside...
A simple comparison and understanding of specs will give you a pretty good…"

"Hey Hooks just wondering where you got the airframe from in your display pic?
cheers

"This is cool but I think a quad design still beats it for stability and mechanical simplicity, but cool project for sure."
"Are you developing this as a product prototype or for personal accomplishment? I sent friend request, will talk further on it, not on the forum."
"I am quite aware of how these systems work as I have a couple of them sitting in the other room, also conventional helicopter systems, having studied aviation and also worked on real choppers
Please note: be it a collective pitch quad or a fixed…"

"If you sit on this thing during test flights like Ritchie is saying then yes you would be a fool, Common sense tells me you will fly it as a UAV first though, I know some guys that are going to fly a Gyrocopter as a UAV.

Here is a link to autoCAD training I reckon if you went through all these tuts you should pick it up.
