Title: Hello from Derbyshire
Post by: rangler on August 04, 2018, 12:26:25 pm

Hi All and thanks for letting me in :)


I'm Keith from Derby and have a long history in both 1/10 electric cars and electric planes more so recently FPV "First Person View" flying.
Started my working career in Electronic engineering and designing battery chargers and relay based ESC's back in the day when car ESCs started moving towards MOSFET design, and obtained my Class A radio Ham license in 1995 and have been playing round with land based robotics for a few years as well, so im pretty well rounded when it comes to electronics and radio theory :)
I've done a few simple boat build in the past even done a couple of bait boat conversions as well for myself and others.


I love scratch building things and im toying with the idea of building a simple tri hull boat with the intention of putting a PX4 running ardurover for some automated mission boating.


It would be very cool to do some FPV boating and give people the experience of being on the water whilst being stood on terra firma.


Anyway enough from me for now, im sure ill be firing lots of questions out once i have started my hull design.


Thanks all :)
