FPV / UAS Fun Fly in MN/ND

[Bill Sanford]

Hi Guys,

Bill Sanford here in Bemidji, MN.  I've been doing FPV and UAS stuff for several years now and was wondering if others would be interested in trying to organize a FPV / UAS fun fly in the region?

I have emailed Ben Trapnell about this and I think Ben is interested.  Ben is an instructor at UND's UAS / aeronautics program.

Any interest in helping to get something off the ground?  Let me know.

Thanks!

Hi Bill,

I am interested. Are you thinking of having it in the Bemidji area or somewhere else?  I am in the cities, about 4 hrs away, but if it works out, I would go.

Also there is another new group in the metro area called RCadvanced.com,  I am pretty sure we could coordinate a meeting with them, although that would probably be in the cities.

I am planning to go to Watts over Owatonna. That is not until Aug.  And I am still thinking about going to watch the Sparkfun AVC on June 8.

By the way, does a UAS instructor fly a little quad or foamy like me, or something from Northrup/Grumman?

This is Ben Trapnell.  I fly whatever I can build. Got a couple of 550's and a Y6 from 3D Robotics.  Been working on a precision Ag solution... Hope we see Li Sulphur batteries soon.  For those who haven't heard, 4x energy density over LiPo with 1000 cycles. I do fly something from NG, however.  That's a fixed-wing bird.

Hi Ben,  I had a homemade 550 quad with an old KK board, now I am building a Flamewheel 450 with an APM.  About 3 weeks ago I lost a Radian with a sony action cam on it.  Those sulfur batteries sound great, I will have to look that up.  Where are you located?  What is NG?  Is the Ag project for gathering field info?  Is that for school? work? hobby?
