The Engineering Process The reason I'm doing this channel is because I want the "2A" community to be a little more constructive and creative. Modern warfare is about way more than owning and becoming proficient with small arms infantry weapons. I'm embarking on a new series about designing and building modern day civilian "force multiplier": a long range, fixed wing thermal drone platform. Let's start with the engineering process I use every day, applied to smaller scale Youtube projects. Join me, and together we shall rule GunTube. My commitment to you: These videos are for education and are meant to inspire and motivate. I will never promote commercial content, and if a product appears in any video it has been purchased by me and should be in no way construed as endorsement of the product. That being said, engineering is expensive, and if you wish to support the content you see here, consider subscribing on my new Patreon account. 100% of the proceeds will be funneled into building and testing new equipment.
