I posted a thread in AP as well but since we do a fair share of UAV development I figured I would send a little blub here too. We are looking for people in the DFW area that might be interested in flying professionally. We are also building a select few of UAV operations for specific Real-Estate related projects. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED:

Send me a link to a video with some of your skills to inet_doogie@hotmail.com.

Here is what a professional company cares about:
- Heli Hover stabilization in one position for 5 - 10 minutes at 75 - 150 feet.
- Cramped Locations (Many of our spots we have less than about 600 sq feet)
- Autorotations

Please do not send me videos of flying upside down flip flop flying. Duration is the key here. Our helis are anywhere from 6lbs to 35lbs.

Again, If you are interested in actually doing this for a company send me your contact info to: inet_doogie@hotmail.com along with a link to a video.

I will be making a decision next week on who I will invite to do a live trial. I look forward to working with a great team!

Went good. We did a live trial and it could not have been a more real to life scenario. One of my ships is using a Zenoah G260H and Mike's Hobbies in Dallas was telling me that I would get better blah blah blah if I used Zenoah oil. I said 48:1 vs. Ryobi 40:1 seems like sense, I will try it. Well long story short the engine Seized up had to get a new one. So I got to see him do an auto and then we replaced the engine and broke the new one in all in the same day. It does not get any more real than that! Hate to have sacrificed an engine but it was only $300.

The next day we started on the next Job, got it done!... Only 11 more to go! and counting...

We are still looking for people interested, from what I read here most are just hobby motivated and not pro-business. I thought I might catch a few readers. We are very busy right now and we are trying to keep up with the demand. So if you know of anymore pilots send them my way please.
