About Me:
Born the day after JFK was assassinated, at age 8 I began building models, painting them, creating diorama and photographing them. Having already flown with my father in sailplanes at age 5 we continued that through my early teen years. At 9 and 10 I was building estes rockets and regularly flying cox, fly-by-line, gas powered airplanes. I flew my first radio controlled airplane at age 10. My fascination and passion for flight is reborn with the advent of affordable multi-rotor, FPV, HD video and high resolution aerial platforms, it is ... revolutionary.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I speak, read and write Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, and continue those studies at increasingly advanced levels, my native language is English. My current research focus is the building of the Nicaragua Canal which will commence in late 2014, it is a fascinating event and probably will be the most historical event with global impact that occurs in my lifetime. I see great opportunities to launch a business strategy in Nicaragua serving the Nicaragua Canal Authority Zone, this multi-staged and complex project to build the Nicaragua Canal, by providing muti-rotor drone services to the Canal Authority and the businesses in Nicaragua associated with the construction of the Nicragua Canal. I'm looking for discussion and potential partners to launch a small, focused, serious multi-rotor drone services company in Nicaragua.

"I am very interested in this quad. Are you going to offer custom builds, do you consult on builds?"
"Monsanto is hating this."
"Thanks! Better than a kitten? I say yes!For surveillance, there's no doubt that smaller, and smaller and quieter multi-rotor drones are the future, (for surveillance). Load up 20 or 30 of them on a heavy lifter ... and deploy."
"Please, add the video, tell us what kind of drone it is, did you build it yourself, where can we get it, if you built it yourself, a parts list, oh yeah, and that video, :-) I think your creative shot here is pretty cool. And where was this granite?…"
"Nice work, smoother for sure. Love the music and how well it goes with the tempo and pace of the film. When you look down on the path, when you least expect it, your new camera will be there."
"And that's some lovely country there to shoot video of from a drone, looking forward to hearing more about their successes using multi-rotor UAV technology. The young man should become an admirable pilot quite quickly."
"Pass the kleenex, mind blown, dripping, ;-)"
"You rock, your taste in music ... eclectic. ;-)"

"Rich colors without any distracting push into vibrancy, great contrasts at 1:18, and the pumpkin patch stealth shot peeking over the treeline, sweet. At 2:25, STEADY as a RAWK, nice track as well, good mixing, thanks for sharing."

"I love the music mixes, it tells us a lot about the pilot and his motivations, especially the lyrics of the songs he has selected."
"My thoughts on the potentially damaging consequence of this event to the "brand" of small, and small business drone and UAV is that the more that drone communities work towards successful and important business applications, the more dependent the…"
