About Me:
been flying models for over 20 years, fixed and rotor. I have several helis, 250 up to a 700, and several foamie planks. I have a degree in electronics, but work in the IT industry, thus this is a good combination of all skills.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
My friend who was trying to do Ariel photography with a heli, soon switched into quads. This has shown me the combination of all disciplines, electronic, mechanical, computing, and design, all elements i love to work with. So i am new, but willing to learn the skills needed to run a UAV.

"Wow, i fly Helicopters too, but this is even better, i want one :-)"
"This guy is the next Hollywood film director, great footage and composition. I must admit i am not comfortable with him flying over peoples heads, especially when he was so high, but given that it was a great advert for the tourist industry :-)"
I have decided to build a Y6 multirotor as i hear and read they are one of the more resilient form factors, for a multirotor. The idea being if one motor fails there is still another one on the same arm that can compensate, and keep flying until you…
"I have just joined, and am in the process of building my new CNC machine to replace my old home made one which worked but was not good for repeated jobs, so i will be busy over the next few weeks :-) you can see more information on my blog :-…"
"wow, this is a great idea, and really a Eureka moment :-).. I have been watching the Steve Jobs video's and was a young man then and wondered what it was like to know you have something that is a game changer, just like this printer.. look forward…"
"These guys are my inspiration in FPV and photography, they get such good shots, and show us places you normally cannot see. I only wish i too will be able to fly so well, and be insperational in return .."
"I love this video it is so enthralling , as i have lost my model up a tree a few times and know the pain and delight of getting it back, even if it is wrecked, it is still an achievement, well done to all you guys, as he says keep FPV alive !"
"I would be very intrested in how you mount your goPro gimble in frount as i have a commerical quad frame similar to yours, and the gimble that came with it has 2 servo's. These 2 servos gave me so many problems as the yaw servo kept getting down…"
"I also sent of and got today some samples of the chips in the article i posted from Maxim, so i might even make one myself to see if the performance is better.."
"They just came back in stock and i got myself 4 :-)"
"just browsing i found a simple circuit that does 2 way switching using a handful of components, so i could make one http://www.maximintegrated.com/app-notes/index.mvp/id/3823..."
"So Mr Adelson, how much are you charging for one of these? :-)"
"All sold out already :-(.."
"Very nice, but like Monroe said could you give us more info and details please?"
"Hi Jaan, have you seen the price of these units $1700, we all know in the Electronics industry this will come down, but when? i think this needs an open-source type of project to kick-start it, i would support it."
