    The Flyin was lots of fun and I got LOTS of good ideas from the participants, the wood tricopter the young kid was flying was really a good flyer. And I got to see a homebrew propeller based autopilot.

    Even walking the field for lost copters was fun..

    Hey kids get the kickstarter page filled in on your home page..no clicky..

    Roja did NOT enjoy the Rocket boost glider however.. good thing it was NOT indestructible like the sumo quad :)

    We began by vacuum-forming in our garage, but our work got much better once we started working at Techshop and using their gear.

    I'm going to try to make it to this one.  I'll bring my paintball gun *and* my drones.  :)

    hmm wouldnt mind making contact with the designer of that tough airframe.. these rigs are really tough  would love to have a shell to build up . now wondering about the short course in vacuforming at techshop..

    Hopefully the grass is cut, don't want to spend another hour looking for my rig, but it's a hell of a place to fly. I'll be there

    Game of Drones will happily demo our hexarotor paintball gunship.  We will supply our own prey...

    You won't be shooting any shotguns at my quads right?
