About Me:: Hi I am an A&P contractor working on UH 60 & AH64's. At the moment we are supporting KFOR.
Love flying, jumping, just started Para gliding, own some RC Helicopters, but want to develop an autonomous , (or as close as possible) high resolution TV platform with 4 hr (or more) endurance.
I had some ideas before I saw your website, however you are far ahead of me. It will be interesting to share ideas with so many capable individuals. Eventually I would like to build my own Composite platform with as many self made components as possible, unless I can not improve on what is already available off the shelf, either due to my lack off skill or economic sense.
That for now is about it.
