Just picked it up yesterday. Haven't flown it yet, or shall I say crashed yet. Hopefully the weather tomorrow is decent. If all goes good Maybe I'll post some video. supposed to be 4K quality
I am addicted now and want to fly all the time. On Saturday I dropped my girl off at a baby shower and I drove back to a field I passed and when I got there I saw a guy with model airplanes and I started talking to him and he said that a group of guys fly there every weekend and once during the week. There was about 6 guys who had a bunch of planes and helicopters. One guy had a phantom drone. It was such a good time and those airplanes were cool, some fixed wings and some airplanes. The helicopters were crazy and the tricks they can do with them is beyond amazing.
Everyone should go out and get one and start flying.
UKCMM, The fixed wings are crazy. The group of guys I just met had small ones to a large one that has GPS and he was setting points for the plane to follow. The thing was nuts and all tuned up on the Laptop so he could get the most out of the battery. He is getting solar panels for it and expects it to fly for four hours at a time.
The other guys had small fixed wings, large ones, air planes and helicopters. Some of the helicopters were 570 and 700. I couldn't believe what those things could do. They are trying to R&D a drone with a grapple to be able to pull a plane or helicopter out of the trees if it crashes and gets stuck in.
I only have a Phantom3 right now but I am addicted and cant wait to see whats out there. I can see it can get real expensive, never mind crashing one. Once I get the hang of this one I am going to look for one like the ones used for drone racing.
But we work to play and its a lot better than what I used to do with my money.
