GE's new advertising campaign is totally DIY Drones

GE's new advertising campaign is called "Air Show" and it consists of printing user-submitted model airplane designs on a Makerbot 3D printer. They're one of us!

It's also kinda adorable.

I've also got a desktop CNC. I went with the MyDIYCNC, which is cheap and can use a Dremel tool. Definitely not a pro machine shop device, but perfect for small jobs.

Yes, I have one. It's fun, but still a bit bleeding edge. I suggest you wait till next year, when there will be several choice that are all better than those available today.

I wonder if they like my parametric NACA airfoil and elliptical wing design?

Yes, that's probably right. I'm an Ecoimagination Challenge judge and that's what we're advising.
