Hi to everyone viewing this blog. I have planned and built my dream. Five years ago I purchased a kit helicopter from America. After completing the build, I have now constructed a trailer that will house the helicopter and give me nice living quarters.Five camera's have been placed on the helicopter and remote control drones will be used for low level footage I intend to travel around Australia and see it by air. This blog will be used for everyone who wishes to follow my dream.
