Hey Now

[Toddnkaya]

looking to get in the air real soon. Plan to share the hobby with my 10 year old daughter.
I have been researching quads a bit obsessively for the past week
I look forward to learning from all of Yins here. We live in the Burgh. Go Pens!!

Welcome to the forum and this addictive hobby, get ready for your wallet to magically become a LOT smaller. I'm a little north of y'all in Ontario. But that's OK, I don't mind the Pens (although sorry, but I can't stand Sid the Squid hahaha)

Thanks Renover!! poop I'm already broke, I guess I'll be brokerer Maybe I should get an inexpensive quad to start? I'm looking at an S1

I'll let the Sid comment slide, since I'm still giddy from back to back cups.

Welcome.

Although the quad you linked to seems decent, it's older tech and a quick search found no spare parts.

Although a bit smaller this quad has good reviews and is well designed. It comes with a spare set of props and a complete set of spare parts are available. Check out some YouTube vids.

Thanks Jackson!! I will do some research on it.

Thanks again Jackson . Just explored this awesome little machine. Wow!! I'm getting it.
Thanks for helping me end a week of crazy youtubbing madness.
I was actually really considering a Spark or a Mavick which seems like it should be my end goal, not a starter.
This copter looks like a freakin blast!!!
I'll keep you posted. Thanks a million !
