Hi All

Been reading thru this site for awhile & have taken the plunge of making my own UAV the Scaneaglet by Le Phan.

Things in work have gone very quiet so if "she who must be obeyed" leaves me alone i hope to complete it in a couple of months.

Have had the drawings for sometime now & just waiting for delivery from laser cutter :)
