Hi all. Gary from Missouri. Great website and really looking forward to working my way around and talking with others

Welcome Gary, this is a great place so much help and tons of great info!

Thanks rryyyaann. This website is pretty intense. I'm a helicopter pilot and we (mosquito helicopter group) have an identical website that we use and I kind of gave up on it because I find it so difficult to maneuver around but I'm going to give it another shot on this website.

Hey Gary - welcome! I got my BS, and MS over at UCM in Warrensburg (a lot of years ago, and that's a Mule not a Jack A**)

Good to have you here!

BTW, I saw your intended project over in the other thread (you might start a new thread for the project in one of the other forum sections).  There is a CGS (cockpit ground station) project over at flitetest that might be good to check into if you haven't already.

Here is a photo of his control system (removing the pots and gimbals from regular transmitter and wiring the controls in instead):


Keep us posted!

Welcome Gary

sloscotty. Thanks so much for your reply. I hope I'm replying in the correct thread. I really have a difficult time figuring this site out. I just need more time right? Heh heh. I really appreciate your feedback. It helps tremendously. It's exactly what I'm looking for. It's great to meet a fellow Missourian, or miseryan, however you want to spell it.

Oscar. Thanks for the welcome. Looking forward to meeting all of the FPV nerds out there. Can't wait to get mine bought and built. So many choices to make. That's what makes this website so helpful and needless to say all the different folks out there willing to help a person out and the commaraderie.

Absolutely! 


Warm welcome to you Gary, and any others from the 'Mosquito Helicopter Group' that you may have brought along for the ride!

A couple of tips to using the forum - 
When you post, see below the message box for 'thread subscription' if you post a thread looking for help, this is a handy way to keep track of replies.
Otherwise just below the top banner you will see User CP, Open Buddy list, etc... 'View New posts' and 'View Today's posts' are very handy to keep an eye on current topics.

I hope you enjoy your stay at the best FPV forum around!
