(2009-01-31) Anderson Uav Biz

Chris Anderson describes the path from Geek Dad UAV hobby (Side Project) to Start Up. Now this project has gone pro. Our first commercial autopilot, the Arduino-compatible Ardu Pilot, has been released and our goal of taking an order or two of magnitude out of the cost of an autopilot has been achieved: it's $24.95! Combined with a RC plane, this makes it easy to build a complete UAV for less than $500, which is really kind of amazing.
