It is September 8th, 2015 as I write this, and this day is important for 2 reasons. First, It is my grandson Elijah’s 3rd birthday! Time really flies, it seems like yesterday I saw him for the first time at the hospital and he is now 3 already!
Second reason, later today I will be heading up to Las Vegas to participate at the 2015 InterDrone Convention, which is hosted at the Rio Hotel September 9-11, 2015. I look forward to meeting a bunch of new people, and also catching up with old friends from across the country.
This year I am one of the speakers at the event, and will be presenting 2 different workshops at the conference. The first one, which is Wednesday September 9th, from 11:15 am to 12:15 pm, is titled Intro to Electric Power Systems. In this workshop I will cover all the basics of electric power systems, as they are used in multirotors, and explain how each part of the system works. I will also cover the special tools that are recommended to have to make testing and servicing a power system as easy as possible.
The second workshop, which will be held on Thursday September 10th, from 1:15 pm to 2:15 pm, is titled Advanced Power System Selection for Multirotors. In this workshop, I cover a brief look at each of the components in a power system, and then show the step-by-step procedure for selecting a power system to maximize power, efficiency and run time.
I have made PDF versions of the PowerPoint slides used in each of these presentations for those that would like to have a copy after the event, or for those that cannot make it to InterDrone, and would like to get this information.

Once I get back from the show, I will post an update with a few photos from the event.
