kewl! keep us updated.

+1 on Syma X5C-1. I love mine. For that price you can buy two so you can replace the inevitable lost/damaged unit. plus you'll have two batteries. a spare battery or two would be helpful.

I see Remote Locator devices advertised; put a small plastic piece on an item and use your smartphone to track/locate. The unit looks small/light enough to fit on most quads. anyone consider using one? I don't have a fancy schmancy phone/tablet but I think they make something that doesn't...

Rats! Lost my UDI in the wind. RTF didn't RT. Lost in high brush. looked for, no luck. I thought long and hard about replacement--I wanted one with a decent camera, headless mode, and plug-in motors instead of solder, under $100. Ended up getting another UDI (I have spare parts, battery...

well anyone 'always being harassed by pesky drones' has my sympathy, but I see jerks hiding in the park to 'shoot' down innocent law-abiding quad jockeys. Boo.

Nother night flight with the Ni Hui. full moon. took it down to the creek, boat ramp wi street light, that bay smell wafting in. great flying. still have elevator problems. unit has a habit of weaving and correcting. (some of it might be my piloting).

? Everybody knows Quads keep you Young, so Anti-Aging Cream is a natural fit! (ha ha)

I like more lights. don't think I has the tech skills for a mod like that.

pm sent, check prop layout. two clock, two counter.

I don't have a *drone*. I just have a little plastic toy that I fly in (and around) the yard sometimes.

that's happened too. I lost one and found it only by repeatedly cycling the controller. heard the props buzz.

I've hit trees and once suffered damage, fixed. I had two go in water. One works, the other does not. I'll take the tree. One reason I like that place, the trees help keep me from splashing.

Built this for my UDI HD. Project wood from Lowes and scrap 2X2s for corners. Painted white wi black tiger stripes (rowrr!) the little plastic pencil case holds screwdriver and batteries for the unit. the boullion cube jar holds AA batteries for the remote. the plastic insert is from the...

Photo Recon this morning. Clear and calm (and cool but still a few bugs). Either the wind picked up on site, or I didn't notice the wind at my house (which is tree-surrounded). So I had a bit of wind issue. I adjusted the camera to get higher-angle pics. only thing is, I put it back on...

I think we suffer from 'Quad Mesmerism' when we start watching the units fly (especially at altitude) and lose control. "Look at that! Look at that!...Oh snap, there it goes! Down! down! No! Come back!" Nother night flight yesterday. beautiful, clear starry sky, no wind. great flying. I...

welcome aboard. keep us posted. does that unit have a camera? here's a forum to post your flight reports. just started it, hope it gets used http://quadcopterforum.com/threads/flight-log-tell-us-bout-your-flights.6203/#post-19147

Sounds good, but I'm not ready yet for a $400 unit. maybe when I grow up.

Tuesday. Night ops with my Ni Hui. First flight it got away from me a bit, went in the trees, no damage. Second flight was great, nice and smooth. I love how this thing lights up. Looking forward to winter flying under full moon. This unit tends to have elevator problems; i.e., it...

Monday. Second time flying the UDI. Went back to the same place. Again, first flight was rough--kept drifting right--, second much better. I think the one battery might be a problem. at one point I was almost at a true hover, unit flying and not moving at all! more pix too.

I want to try this thread. Post your flight info. Enlighten us with what you learn. Entertain us with your adventures. Amuse us with your 'Oh S***' moments. I'll start. Sunday; tried out new location mentioned in this http://quadcopterforum.com/threads/lets-discuss-launch-sites.6180/...
