Very good looks nice and smooth

Had my first outing with one yesterday (actually first time with a proper quad)

The software is very well written, made it a doddle to get it setup and get flying without needing much reading of the manual first
Stable enough without any ';tweaks'; for a newbie such as myself

Only bit I got wrong was the rearmost props directions
I';m sure I checked it a gazillion times during assembly, but bust 2 full sets before realizing /why/ it was just flipping regardless of how much forward pitch I gave it
(I blame someone from shuffling them on the bench when I was tuning the ESC';s!...mind it was to make way to pass me a brew)

I did pop an Veho MUVI on it and video';d it ...but its not that exciting being as I';m a newbie

Regards
Rob

Hardly call my vid exciting, was just a pop out and see if it flys moment. Always good to look back at your footage and see your bloopers lol

It';s a good method if documenting your progress and also let';s you review any unintended encounters with the ground or other objects.

Eventually you will have footage that you can edit into a progress video.

Here';s one of my favourites http://youtu.be/BA-B6i2L6uE though admittedly I don';t follow his channel for his multirotor stuff

Not dared do anything beyond hovering with it really

Need more space and awaiting ping pong balls to replace the grass unfriendly spike legs

FPV is the goal...but I may be a way off yet
