I think this comment plays into many stereo types that I think are largely undeserved.

Also, even if the concern was valid, this seems to me to be a pretty pathetic attempt to gather info.

Using Pakistan in his/her profile (I apologize for now knowing if Dani is a masculine or feminine name) is sort of a silly thing to do if one is trying to get access to sensitive data.

Beyond this, there are full blown, very well developed open source projects on inertial guidance (including How To's and Source Code!) available to anyone in the world with access to Google.

Even more, if you have access to Tower Hobby or 1000 other hobbyist websites, there are off the shelve solutions to autonomously fly RC airplanes.

There are a lot of things to fear in this world and a lot of people that might be good to question under the influence of Veritaserum But I doubt that Dani belongs on either list.

Callin' 'em as I see 'em...
