Drones (Quadcopters)

[sp00n]

Just wondering if anyone else here flies quadcopters/drones?

just picked myself up a Hubsan X4 H107c ... not had chance to play with the camera yet, but its a lot of fun , kinda like an angry bee lol ... that said my control skills suck ... props flying everywhere (even with the prop guard fitted!) :lol: :lol:

I've got a walkera quadcopter which i find hard to fly. i've got prop guards on it as well and seem to hit everything in sight. Already broken one shell and one set of props.

i am getting *slightly* better ..... but i have just ordered 4 complete sets of props .... something tells me i will need them :lol: :lol:

I'm getting RC planes then a quadcopter/drone.

When I first had one of those 9.99 RC helicopters -infrared- I though I'd throw it out the window and fly it........*tactical facepalm*

Its infrared.........

well my 5off 500mah batteries have arrived (so i should get 30% longer flight time), and as a plus they can charge off my imax b6 .. bonus! (that is using the balance cable that they came with)

another prop lost lol, so i changed the last one that it came fitted with, as it was looking rough with chips missing etc ... done flies a little better but i have got 4 more sets of props now too ... just incase

put my memory card into the drone, to do some minor camera work ....... and suddenly i am pants at flying again :lol: :lol: :lol:

I got a mini quad, like, palm size. Got a bit of experience flying planes and copters in the US over summers past, and I really like the stability of this thing
