wonder how many journalists / wannabes are video-ing way of the world, a few knuckleheads ruin for the rest of us

what a ride! I think I got motion sick! nothing like open country for flying/video good quality camera. what unit is this?

Sharper Image's DX-3 is a low-price starter unit, too small and light for FAA interest. pluses: *cheap. $30 at my local Ollie's. nothing like indulging a whim with a same-day purchase! *video or still camera, chip included *adjustable camera lens. my UDI drives me crazy with the point-down...

broke out the UDI. intended to get some snow pix but ended up at the dock. a bit of ice in the bay...

hardly flew last year, mostly weather and health issues. cranked up the unit and flew Halloween night, tried pics, but I waited too long and it was too dark. flew out @ my brothers but forgot the camera chip! I kick myself for that one. (those were UDI flights) flew my Stryker a month ago...

cat might have recovered enough to beat feet. they can be pretty resilient.

nothing against them but I hope others get bigger. not good to see so many eggs in one basket. they jumped in right time right product so good for them.

I only has experience wi the Syma. I found it to be cheap and easy to fly. camera quality not so good but a good starter unit.

took the UDI back to the fairgrounds. cloudy but still. lost control and it landed on the paddock, right at the edge! took a length of string and a wood chip and eventually dragged it off. unit survived all the impacts. got some decent pics. just for practiced I concentrated on whatever...

well took the new UDI out to the (empty) County Fairground (and Tractor Pull Arena) last night. flight was a bit unstable; occasional vertical drops. sometimes it would bounce off the dirt, didn't seem to hurt anything. after the first battery I loosened the screws to the camera and wedged a...

thx for the info. might upgrade with Xmas $ (if any)

took out for test flight, got away from me and I dropped it in the field. walked over and re-launched and flew it around me as I walked back to my truck, sort of like a parent dragging home a wandering brat. works fine. really not a hard fix at all.

tempting...!

sounds like a good unit Renov8r happy flying does it take pix?

night ops with the Stryker this week. one night took a plastic chair out to the neighbors and made myself comfy. tonight I tried a new place, a little country church five minutes from me. paved parking lot, pole light, and nice grassy overflow area (and no power lines). a few cars went by but...

thx for review / info I has a UDI 818 and considering upgrade (like the camera, not so much the fly characteristics)

kewl! thx for posting

thakx for info

thread title tells all. the unit landed hard at an angle and got sand in two of the motors. blew out and WD-40 but still wouldn't work. dug through my stuff and found a set of four replacement motors. plug-in units so no soldering! managed to disassemble and remove old units. put...
