Paul,
I was working on a tandem helicopter ( 2 rotors ) and had
put it down for some time because the DIY UAV technology was improving
so rapidly. It appears things have improved enough that it is time to
pick it back up again.
I did get the link through DIY drones. I am surprised
there aren't more people on the east coast doing this, certainly in PA
where helicopters anyway are so prevalent.
Suppose I got started with an airplane just to figure the
controls and the format out. Is DIY drones the way to go? have you
played with the interface at all?

Thanks,

JOSH
