*It's all about drones, baby*

Flight related projects at SudoRoom and beyond. This may include drones but
also ways to hack planes. There's some excitement over flying car start-ups
in the bay area lately as well, although that stuff up until now has been
very costly. I'm sure there are lots of amateur plane makers all over, and
I know that gliders bought used are as much as very cheap used cars.

I've met people who worked at big airplane companies, but to be honest,
I've never seen much on open sourced flight information. Does anyone get
the opportunity to hack on that stuff? It always seems to be interesting
rich people. In the ultimate MFA senior thesis in college, a rich classmate
bought an entire plane for a sculpture, and what can I say, that stuff
looks pretty cool.

Wow, so ... I bet nobody has hacked an airplane have they? (Ducking)

I know that the crazy hippies in the Cal Sailing Club had attempted to
create a low cost, cooperative non profit flying club version so that low
income folks like us could fly planes ("Planes aren't just for rich
people"), but there's something about the Bay Area topography that makes
this sort of expensive. I don't know the details - something about tight
flight paths in the mountains, and one of the local tech billionaires
pissed people off so much flying his jet loudly in the south bay that
private flights are banned in Silicon Valley. But hey! It's always good to
know.
