I can’t help building and experimenting. It’s something I’ve done since I was old enough to fold a paper plane and stack Lego bricks. I love problem solving and taking stuff beyond involved what it was originally designed for, pushing the boundaries.
I saw my first “proper” radio control car when I was 11 or 12 and from then on I was hooked. The next Christmas my parents bought me my first car – a Mardave 12th scale electric, primitive by today’s standards, but still a proper piece of engineering and not some lightweight toy. That was about 35 years ago and after the car I built boats, gliders and powered planes.
I had a break for about 20 years, but got back into the hobby three years ago when starting a new job, where a colleague flew helicopters. Now I have two helicopters, two quadcopters and a tricopter. I still have my original glider and power planes which have recently come out of the loft to be flown again.

Hi – I love your website. I’m going to use some of this for a system I have been working on. It’s support for the SEEK THERMAL Camera on the Pi. Here’s a video if you’re interested.
(kind of a crappy video, but it delivers the message). What I’m working on now is integrating images from the Pi camera and the thermal camera.
Hi. Looks interesting. The results look promising considering the low resolution of the IR camera.
