That kestrel autopilot looks really nice.

Interesting jobs. I don't think I could get the wife to transfer though. Need a remote development office in Northern California? :)

I would love to live in Utah again, but it's not going to happen. Good luck on your search.

I'm guessing you know or are with the guys from Bringham Young Univ.? I saw them at the AUVSI '07 competition with that same autopilot, good system. I thought they had created it themselves, but I could be wrong.

We are all BYU grads. We developed it as a masters project and then spun off a company. The AUVSI team in 06 did a good job, I am not sure how 07 turned out.

Here is a link to my thesis if you are curious about the development of the autopilot: http://www.ee.byu.edu/faculty/beard/papers/thesis/ReedChristiansen.pdf
