The Idea Forms

I like crazy sports and a few months ago I bought a Sony Action Cam, it's fantastic!  Many things I love over the GoPro however that's for another blog.

I was thinking, as great as all the head/bike mounted shots are, I want shots from an observing perspective.  I want high beautiful landscapes shots with myself and friends below doing whatever crazy sport we are doing that day.

I can't afford a TV crew, time to think of an alternative!

Then the idea came, "Could I build a Personal Drone?"

I laughed as I thought surely not.  

• Firstly, I'd need some sort of expensive GPS tracking system.  
• Secondly, what do I know about aircraft?  
• Thirdly, I know nothing about motors and controlling them ... let alone for flight.  
• Fourthly ... well loads more "it's impossible" thoughts ...

I laughed more, funny idea but impossible!

Yet curiosity took me.  Is it truly impossible?

Now a few hours on Google and I reckon I might stand a chance!
