    C'est une drôle d'idée mais je ne pense pas que ca marche.

    In response to Robert Palmore:
    I was thinking about painting my UAV in pink and call it Barbie II..... ;-)

    True!
    Before I turned 50 I told my wife I wanted to build a UAV and that I fgured it would cost $20,000 at least.(that was before I found DIYDrones)
    I told her that was still cheaper than a red corvette and a blonde girlfriend in the passenger seat for my mid-life crisis!
    I've been slowly spending quite a bit on the hobby (R/C, RPV, and UAV) as you say discreetly so as not to invoke a hurricane!

    I've been married enough times to know its dangerous to make sweeping generalizations about what women's roles are!

    In the 90's the dominant attitude was nurture over nature. Nowadays the dominant attitude is nature over nurture. The explanation tends to change depending on where government is spending money. Being a biology major & hearing good evidence from the nature over nurture side, it's looking like heroines just aren't biologically attracted to hunting & gathering. Most of us here want to make money on drones someday even if we're not serious about it. If there wasn't any money to be made in it, we probably wouldn't be here.

    I'm member of a Kite Club ratio is 0/600
    I'm member of a free flight Rc club ratio is 0/130
    I'm member of a Rc glider community ratio is 1/70
    And here ratio is 1/10500 ????

    This is why most of hobbyists married, becaus this is not a favorite hobby for single mens.
    Dance lessons or amateur theatre communities better option :))

    @Alex : you are completely right ;)

    I know this is going to get me in trouble but............
    No Couture drones.
    Maybe a way to get young girls interested in technology is to integrate more of the girly stuff with technology and then some interest may be generated for creation of more girly technology stuff etc, etc. That is one of those comments that are made in jest but may hold a some small value to it.

    If we are looking at engineering in the University, MSOE (Milwaukee School of Engineering) which had a 17 to 1 guys to girl ratio my freshen year had 1.2 girls to 1 guy in the IE (industrual engineering) program. UW-Platteville had 7 guys to 1 girl. I started at UW-LaCrosse where we had 2 Girls to 1 guy in the freshmen class.
    Even so we didn't have many girls in the physics labs but hey, I was able to find my wife there, and she has a PHD in Bio Chem. And she still says I am a geek / nerd.
    And as far as looking at where the money gets spent, PM me on how you get your hands on money without your wife knowing, I can buy a candy bar but When I try and buy here a birthday gift within a day I am asked what I bought at amazon.

    Well, that's just how it is in Engineering currently I guess. The only faculty with a 50/50 split in "my" technical university is Architecture ;)

    He he! Good to know I am number one ;-)
    By the way, I already posted on July 14th on a post about MP.
