lol it was probably more of a general question.
So i did that flight with both the stock x5c camera and the one i bought online but a gust of wind forced it to land upside down on my neighbors roof. So i am waiting for them to get home for permission to get it off their roof. I had it in low rates so i couldn't. Also the battery was kinda low.

Haha, I avoid flying around houses now, for fear of situations like that. Mine is aluminium, so it could damage windows and vehicles.
 
According to Helipal it will be here 3-5 business days and according to the shipping site 2-5 so I am hoping for the 2. I'll get a friend to let me borrow hos GoPro when the quad gets here and ill post the video. I bought 16 extra blades plus it comes with 8 spares. I also bought a 11.1v 2200mAh battery from a hobby shop for when it gets here. I'm new to Li-pos so im still getting used to the charging and care. I posted a thread asking for advice on charging methods and places to buy them here. http://quadcopterforum.com/threads/lipo-batteries-sources-and-charging-methods.4665/

I've had it about a week and this is my first time losing on a roof.

Whats your quads payload cappacity? And if you dont mind my asking how much did it $ you to build yours?

I have not figured out how big a payload I could lift yet. It would cost ~250 to build it before shipping and FPV. I spent ~$500 on all of my equipment and parts, but I made some mistakes with shipping and broke a few things.
 
Okay so i got the Storm Platform from China and I am in love. This is the first REAL quad i have seen in person and i am very amazed at the power and responsiveness of it. Ive only flown an AR parrot drone(1st version), blade heli and i have a T-maxx 3.3 so this is very exciting. I've also never had a hobby quality transmitter. It is extremely sensitive compared to the Syma. Video is currently uploading so it might not work right away.

I haven't read the entire thread so forgive me if this is unrelated. I just recently received the storm racing drone type-A (RTF/w NAZA v2). I've only been preping the bats. Its barely unboxed. This (to me) was a chunk of coin considering 7" fpv, radio mount, tripod, hard case, props out the ying yang (triples also) and more I'm sure. I am taking baby steps even starting w bats. I had a Walkera 250 but sold to a bud and = carnage. My point is Helipal was NOTHING but cool. Correspondence without fail, 4 days delivery. Every email I sent was answered promptly.
Now all that being said, what if something's wrong?
I can't speak on the product support...yet.

I like Helipal so far (fingers crossed).
