Life After The Frontline: Becoming a Drone Pilot with Veteran Stu Logan | Drone World Episode 6
Drone World: The Podcast by CoptrzShow Notes
Welcome to Drone World, the drone podcast by Coptrz! In this episode, your host Jamie Cording is joined by Coptrz Academy alumni Stu Logan from Unmanned Air Veterans. Stu tells Jamie about how he first discovered drone tech while serving in the defence forces and seeing stunning aerial footage on TV, this got him thinking. He opens about being made redundant, his battle with PTSD and depression, and when it suddenly clicked that "I want a drone business".
From being thrown in the deep end with his first job being in the Heathrow Airport flight path to being asked to work on film sets. Stu says, "One of them was a specialist weapons and firearms team that train actors on how to carry and handle weapons correctly, so they wanted us to film them and do a little scenario in front of producers from Netflix, BBC, Sky, Channel 4. It was like a big group of people that were going to be watching them do this demo, and we were going to be filming them!"
He also spills his top tips on marketing and networking as well as giving us a review of the brand new Mavic 2 Enterprise Advanced.
