Hello everyone,

Well I've been wanting a drone/quad copter for a while now. I just didn't want to shell out the money to get one. Thankfully Santa made one fall out of the sky for me.

I own a 20 acre parcel in the country that I'm developing and putting up apartments on. I was putting up a snow fence to reduce snowdrifts and I see some plastic legs sticking out of the ground. I pull it out and it's a F-450 hobby drone! I am brand-new to all of this but after researching it last night it seems to be complete. I don't know how long it was sitting outside in the snow for but it still looks like it's in good condition. One of the rotors is broken though. I think somebody hit a small powerline as they were spying on my property.

I asked my tenants if it belong to any of them and they all said no. My closest neighbor is a quarter-mile away. So as far as I'm concerned, it's mine now.

I was hoping I could get your advice on a remote control for it. I also don't know if the battery is still good so I'll need batteries and a charger.

Any advice you could give me would be much appreciated. I've been wanting one of these for so long and I am so excited that I finally have one ha ha

I have photos I can post once I figure out how to post them on the forum.
