Good morning all,
I’ve been building and flying drones for about 15 years. I built my first drone from Home Depot towel rods and a custom cut plastic frame using a Hoverfly Pro controller and Hacker motors. My second and subsequent drones were variations of an X8, Octo, Hex, Y-6 all with the Hoverfly controller, Turnigy motor controllers and so on. THEN I discovered I could have bought a DJI Phantom for half the cost I spent on the other stuff. Oh well… I had fun and learned stuff. I’m a retired air traffic controller and a Part 107 licensed UAS pilot as well as an Amateur Extra Ham - K4ATC. I’m surprised that I just found this site but was happy to join. I’m looking forward to good discussion on all things drones. Cheers folks. Have fun.
