About Me:

I'm a very old bastard trying to do young things. Presently I'm building my green retirement home and have been building for six years plus.


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

Because I don't know what I'm doing I need to mix with the likes of you guys. I'm in the design stage of building me a rc mower. The mechanical fabrication and setup won't be a problem. I will need your guy's help when it gets to the electronics.
