I sent 2 private messages and didn't get any response from you.
I would still like to be a member of the workspace to design/build an UAV airplane by the community.
Has the workspace begun ?
What has already been done for the design of this UAV airplane ?
Can you please explain me how to join and participate ?
Best regards,
Jean-Claude
