Hey everyone,
My name is Craig Carlile, and I’m a U.S. Marine Corps Veteran and the founder of SC Handy Drones, a Veteran-owned drone services company based in Virden, Illinois.
I started SC Handy Drones with one mission in mind:
to use aerial technology to make our world safer, smarter, and more connected.
From construction site progress monitoring and 3D modeling to historical preservation and property documentation, our drones help bring a new level of clarity, efficiency, and accountability to the projects that shape our communities.
But SC Handy Drones isn’t just a business — it’s a movement.
🌟 The Future of SC Handy Drones
We’re expanding our reach through innovation, partnerships, and education.
Our future plans include:
- Integrating AI-driven inspections and 3D data visualization tools.
- Offering hands-on training and STEM-based drone programs for youth.
- Building a network of certified drone professionals who can work together on real-world projects.
💡 What This Community Is About
This Skool community is a place for:
- Drone pilots (beginners and pros alike)
- Business owners interested in aerial services
- Students and educators looking to bring drones into learning
- Anyone passionate about technology, flight, and innovation
