Strangely the prices of some of the clearance items has been changed back to the un-discounted prices. I noticed this yesterday but thought there was just a temporary glitch, but it is the same today.

DJI replied to my request for a free upgrade as per their offer. I bought the PC ground station in Sept. 2014 , but the cut-off date for purchases is Dec. 2014. I'm going to try out the UgCS ground station in a few weeks. It looks promising. Besides the DJI PC ground station software sucks...

Hi everyone, my name is Chris and I'm new to MRF. This looks to be a great forum for multi-rotor enthusiasts. Like me! Currently , I've got several quads & currently I'm converting a Skyjib 8 into an X8 for use with my DJI A2 controller & I just picked up a 250 size kit with Naze32 controller...
