I just returned to Albuquerque from a three month consulting project in New England. My job was to design a high performance robotic model airplane for the American armed forces. The prototype meets all of the mission requirements and the client is extremely happy. Yay!

The military UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) industry is a far cry from the hobbyist radio control model airplane industry. It was a fascinating experience, and I’ve come back full of new ideas.
