I know that it is tough for the ground pounders in Iraq and Afganistan as we are not fighting/supporting our troops with a full deck so to speak. The same thing happened in Vietnam and the outcome may be the same.

I was with a Navy unit that performed EW surveys north of the DMZ up towards Yankee Station. It was interesting work and helped to reduce troop causailties to some extent.

Have a Happy Holiday too!

CDRJulie,

You have an interesting and varied background and as you say, similar to mine.

I have been working with hobby level robotic rovers over the last five years, but wanted to establish surveillance from above, so to speak, as well as on the ground.

I spent most of my life in California where I was born, but just recently moved to TX. The area I live in is, unfortunately, impinging on the local wild life so I have been developing robot rovers to help drive off the occasional coyote or skunk without having to harm them.

UAV/FPV is relatively new to me and I am still learning to fly without crashing excessiverly. Hovever,according to my pilot friend across the street, I build great aircraft. My ultimate goarl is build and fly the Borjet Maja wihich will make a terirific UAV/FPV aircraft for keeping tabs on the surrounding area from above.

Hi Thomas, why build Borjet Maja? Isn't it a ARF? Have been looking at with some interest for some time. looking forward to see your build log and feedback. Cheers and Merry Christmas
