  Greetings,

I have a few ideas in my head for a flying robot but before I can really
take them anywhere I need to solve one main point:  How do I get the robot
to figure out where it is?  That is, some circuitry to detect the GPS
signal, or maybe LORAN for loooong distances, or even a pair of transmitters
that I would have to make.

  If anyone has recommendations for which system to go with, please send me
specs for the components required (ie. weight, limitations, advantages,
ordering information, etc.).  

Thanks for your assistance,

Chris Veenstra
