Okay, I got the video!

Very nice, thanks! there is a lot to choose from, I'm leaning toward the aircraft strobe lights but I will add an auto headlight so I don't have any doubt as to where the front is. I was thinking about a second battery for the lights and gimbal.

Im too much of a newb to confidently answer your questions but if I were you I would try to isolate the problem. Switch out a motor with one known to work, then switch out an esc to another position. make sure all your connections are correct and secure. Good luck, its a real pita when you get...

Thanks for the tips! Where are you guys getting the led lights? I saw some flexible strips on amazon.

Yeah, you're right. I tried to take a short video but since I was trying to fly and video at the same time I couldn't get one I thought worthy enough for a first flight video. My wife will be home in a few days, I'll have her film the (almost) historic event.

I just finished my F550 and have been bonding in the very limited space of my front yard and street. Thanks to all who taken the time to post great videos and answer questions from us first timers, I for one could not have done it without you. I have a little trouble distinguishing the...

Rgolfer I've finished my f550, and having fun flying n my street for now. Let me know if you want to get together and fly someplace.

Excellent! !! Congrats! I just started my first f 550 build today, still have parts coming. I hope I can soon post my first flight and it flies as well as yours. Enjoy! !

Check out their website http://cmac1.org/ The only thing is their membership dues is high for the first year but at least its a safe and legal place to fly that is not too far away. Im new to multirotors too, this is my first build.

Those soccer fields look very tempting, I didnt realize they were posted. Oh well, a little too close to 75 for me anyway. I live on a golf course as well but im sure someone would have a fit if i went out there. I can fly at a place in the everglades but its not ideal and its 40 minutes...

To clarify, I do intend to build it, I was considering either getting the kit of parts or select and purchase all the components individually.

Im about to start buying for my first (dji f550) multi build, I could go the almost ready to fly kit or piecemeal it. Are you glad about the direction you took or do you wish you went with the other option?

Bonita here as well. About to start buying parts for my first multirotor build. Where do you fly?

Thanks for the replies, sorry I should have given moreinfo with my OP but I think I wrote it when I was pretty tired from readingpros and cons of the 450 vs. 550. I'm going to use this like most do, learn, videoetc. I was all set to go with the 450 but I started to read where peopleliked the...
