Hey everyone, I just wanted to drop by an say hello. What a really nice community you have here and thanks for letting me be a part of it.

I am new to the quadcopter world and am having a blast with it. I was all set to buy a Phantom, and probably still will, but I stumbled upon the racing drone. What a cool freaking hobby! I bought a VIFLY R220 and am enjoying the heck out of it. I also picked up a set of Marvel Vision FPV goggles which are really nice, but quite a different experience learning how to fly with those. I need to find a small quad for the house, or for work, as I have a very big inside area to fly in there. Maybe I could get more comfortable with the goggles by doing that.

Anyway, I hope to be an active part of the community here. See you around.

RENOV8R, can you tell me about the little sausage drone? Did you buy it from China? I guess no big deal if you are in China. What type of battery does it take and how long is your flight time? Im guessing it is the standard 1S LiPo. It sounds like my FPV goggles will connect straight to them, so I would have it on the remote screen as well, but I am mainly waiting them on my goggles. I am thinking about buying it from eBay right now, can you share any info with me that you think would be pertinent. Thanks in advance.

Yes, I ordered from China. I'm in Canada but paid an extra 7 bucks and it only took 10 days. Not much to say, it takes a 1S 380 mah lipo and gets about 7 minutes which is pretty good actually. Yes, it'll work with your goggles but even the little screen is quite good. I ordered a couple extra batteries (they're cheap) and some extra props but I haven't had to use them yet, original ones have been through dozens of crashes and still like new. It's a tough little bugger

Thanks so much for the information. So I am able to access the battery? I thought I had read somewhere that you could not and that it was all internal.
