=== Technical Meeting:  Thursday November 8th ===
Med City Drone presentation by founder Ryan Kuisle.




MedCity Drones is Rochester's first drone racing club run in accordance with MultiGP safety guidelines.  We are still growing and learning, but are happy to share what knowledge we have gained.  In our presentation we will go over drone basics (drone builds, control, first person view) along with a racing overview.  At the end we will have some show and tell and time for questions.




If anyone has any questions they know in advance, please send them to Tina, Ryan wants to incorporate them into his presentation.  But be aware that the meeting will be run by Nix, so any last minute items need to go to him.
