Dear Mavic Pilots,
With immense sadness and sorrow - I want to inform you that @beanbubba (otherwise known as Steve Carr) suddenly passed away early Friday morning March 15th 2019.
Steve was a friend and co-worker of mine in our professional careers, he led a team of like minded individuals and was core to so many at our company where he played an influential role in regard to its technology and products. A highly passionate person when it came to technology - he loved nothing more than digging in, getting his hands dirty and making things better.
From his posts here, as well as the reception to his development work in making the Mavic do sometimes unnatural things - its clear he also felt a sense of kinship and pride within this forum and for that reason it was important that I share this news with you as his professional co-workers felt he shared that same passion with you all.
Steve had a wicked sense of humor but was also a private man with a small inner circle and I was fortunate to be one of them. Knowing my interest in drones - he recently sent me one of his un-modified mavic pro aircraft and I had only received it a week prior to his passing. Our last communication was ironically enough about its initial setup and some new product our company was releasing
. Hopefully I don't crash the drone on its first flight - but he'd also find that amusing.
Steve can now ignore all FAA rules and see what the Mavic can really do!
Kind Regards, Adam
