You know......... about 5 weeks ago I was looking at buying a Multi rotor of some sort, so I started on The big online box store that will remain anonymous. I opened a can of worms when I did that! I selected the box Priced High to Low, and then started going down the list of what was available, and at what prices. I also read reviews about anything I am thinking of purchasing. It is something I have always done ever since I started shopping online back in 1997. Well I found I could do without this or without that pretty fast, just to get the price down to what I figured might not make the wife start yelling and kicking butt. LOL, she wouldn't really kick butt, but I would definately hear about it till she got senile if I were to go out and spend a couple hundred on what she would call a toy, or even a hobby. So I kept scrolling page by page by page. I spent most of the day doing that in maybe 30 minute increments. I would havbe to take a break from it for about 10 or 15 minutes in between. Anyway, I finally got down to around the $140 to $170 (usd) dollar range, and figured that is as low as I want to go for what I want out of a multirotor. Any lower in price and I was not going to get this or that. So at that point I started looking into the idea of building my own, as I have always been good at that sort of thing ever since I was a young boy of about 9 or 10. One day my dad brought this big wooden box which was divided up into a lot of smaller boxes, it was going to be used for the local Moose Lodge as their Bingo light board. My dad was a member there and they asked him if he could wire it for them, so he brought it home and walked into my bedroom and asked me if I wanted to wire it with all the different wires it would need so that the little light would come on when someone threw the switch for say (N43) I had a great time doing that, I soldered on it for several days.
