Not sure how I got hooked, but...I got hooked

[Gadget Inspector]

I wasn't thinking about a quadcopter, rc plane or anything else controlled by a transmitter. Back in April I bought a Cheerson CX-10C for like $15 on a website called Meh, just because. Man, after flying that thing around the house a couple hundred times I needed more. I had to have more. Next thing I know, I have a basement full of quadcopters (about 20 now) and I don't expect that trend to end anytime soon. I am definitely a bargain shopper, but if something gets great reviews and flies nice, I'm there. Eventually, I worked my way up to GPS quads and it almost made me lose my enthusiasm for the hobby.

Anywho, I'm glad I stumbled upon this forum. I see there are lots of other people out there just like me.

Here's a thread I created which is kinda like a video journal of my experience with GPS quads: http://quadcopterforum.com/threads/my-gps-quad-journey-from-the-crash-to-grief-recovery.10823/

Long and short...I am still having FUN!!

Sounds like you have something from every "genre" in your hangar. Glad to know I'm in good company.

There are some cool RC planes out there, but I'm so stuck on quads that I haven't gotten one yet. XK has a cool looking one and WLToys has some inexpensive ones: the F949 is like $50 and the F959 is about $60. I've been scoping out the F959 for a while but it just won't drop in price.

The 949 is a clone of the Eflite trainer if it's a good clone it will be tough and take a crash well if it was me I would get this one so you learn to land on undercarriage
