yes, you may... you have explicit permission to do so...

i'm not an article writer, either ;)

nothing says you cannot be or do both... especially when looking at the history
and seeing how every single editor before you wrote articles about pretty much
anything they wanted to... a prime example was one that wrote about their "love
life" to an extent... i'm sure that folks would enjoy reading about what you do
with your UAV and possibly enhancements or modifications you may have made to
it...

it is not a misconception... it is a narrow view of what is or can be done when
one is in that particular position... can one really be called an "editor" when
there's little to nothing to edit?

i already am the author with full copyright, too ;)

not really... it'll be around over here for at least three years barring any
problems that may result in the message base being damaged or otherwise lost...
