We will be donating a free aerial video to the high charity bidder at the Litchfield, CT Festival of Trees on Nov 25, 2017. Thanks to the four bidders.

Peter Tavino PE will present "Drone Applications for Engineers" to other Professional Engineers for their continuing education credits in Albany, NY on January 17, 2018. See below. Contact us for registration information.

The Nov. 1 presentation was a big success, with over 70 in attendance.

Thanks to all who participated.

.Our Academy of Model Aircaft - Industry Association has a new Drone Report out:

Aero-News Network launches AMA Drone Report

AMA has partnered with Aero-News Network's (ANN) Airborne Unlimited Daily News to produce the AMA Drone Report, a video series that covers the latest news and educational opportunities in the recreational drone and model aircraft community. The fast-paced, mobile-friendly program debuted January 23, 2017, and is available through AMA, ANN, YouTube, and dozens of other ANN syndication outlets. The series began with weekly broadcasts and will increase in frequency in the months ahead.

Peter Tavino PE met with staff at The Torrington, Connecticut newspaper the Register Citizen to offer video of the East Main Street area and the Fish Tales mural. The News Editor recommended posting to the visitor page of facebook, available through the facebook icon at the bottom of www.registercitizen.com

Drones for good: Tracking turtles via drone

After returning from a semester break, Boston College freshman, Branick Weix, had something unusual and inspiring to share: his weeklong trip to Costa Rica to help researchers track endangered sea turtles. Through his company, SkyLink Productions, the Minnesota native partnered with the nonprofit group Seeds of Change, and used an array of drones to help researchers study nesting turtles on a remote peninsula of the Central American country.

We have entered the Drone Video Contest for the summer 2017 New York State Fair. Wish us luck next time!

September 2017, we published "Drones for Engineers" on line.

It is a continuing education course 45 pages long with test. Professional Engineers who pass the test receive continuing education credits toward license renewal.
