About Me:

Born in Holland, I'm an 81 year old wannabe 'maker', living in Oregon, USA. More than half a century ago I represented Holland 3x in the world gliding championships. Later in life I was employed for 13 years by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder Colorado. For their Cloud Physics group, I flew a Schweizer 2-32 two-seat glider in clouds. After that I was self-employed for a few years doing contract programming in UCSD Pascal. Lately I have been reading in books about Python. I don't think I have written more than 50 lines of code in Python (yet!).

Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

I intend to make a gadget with a display which should help me find the center of updrafts while I fly my glider. I wonder if any of the ArduPilot related hardware and software can give me a headstart.
