UAV image Eric Principato is starting to work in the Caylor Lab as the lab mechanical engineer for Lyndon Estes.  Eric did his first copter flight training this weekend and picked up piloting quickly, going from zero experience to flying a data collection mission all with zero crashes and no broken copter components in only two days.
Eric did a flight over Herbert Run to collect photos for use in learning Photoscan.
