[chbot] UAV I'm in

[Steven Graham]

I have been interested in doing an UAV (robot plane) for a while and
when I saw some of the web sites asoceated with the Propeller it
convinced me that the Propeller chip would make a good platform. My
feeing is that a UAV is very achievable for any one, but it does take a
spread of skils and abiliies. I have built and flown RC model aircraft.
And would be happy to help in any way I can. I also have the tools for
hot wire cutting of foam for wings etc whether covered or left bear i.e.
foamys.

In the weekend I found a Mag/Book on the new Magazines Polytechnic
library called "Make technology on your time". It had an interesting
article on building an UAV. I was not able to copy the article so if any
one has access to photocopying at the Polytechnic it is a good read and
a valuable resource to bring to the UAV group.

There is a lot of potential in this field. I recently sat in a
presentation by CAA (civil aviation authority of New Zealand) one point
of interest was that there is a new category of aircraft in New Zealand,
Yes UAVs. The will become aircraft doing useful work in NZ.
