Hoverfly Thank you for the help - Article of mine in Smithsonian Air and Space on UAV

[eddarack]

I just wanted to thank all of those on this forum who helped me in the process of getting a UAV I designed and built to actually fly. The article just published in Smithsonian Air and Space Magazine, and can be found through the below link. It is heavily edited and shortened from the original (which included my discussion of the help I received on this forum). This is a feature in the July issue, available nationally in magazine and book stores in the coming weeks:

Also, here's a short video on the project:

Great work! So nice to see proof-positive that this forum can help people. And with your help, looks like it may helps others as well.

Thank you! Yes, this forum has been invaluable - in both perusing threads to learn more about how people design, build, fly, and troubleshoot, and also for specific questions. A lot of great people here with a lot of knowledge to share.
