    Hello from Shanghai

    Hi Phil, Welcome! It maybe be odd for me to say, because I am very new here also. Congratulations on making the decision to join the multi-rotor world. My F550 is one week old; retractable gear, Zenmuse 2-axis gimbal, GoPro 3. It does not have FPV yet, so I have to guess what is in...

    The Blade mQx (BNF) arrived about a week ago. The extra battery and (real) charger I ordered arrived on Wednesday. The DX9 arrived yesterday. Got everything charged up, did the BIND, and started out to the front yard early this morning. Flew for about 1-hour 40-minutes total today and I must...

    Greetings from Lake Tahoe, Nevada, USA

    Hello from the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe. Recently saw an 8-rotor at a movie shoot to introduce the 2014 Corvette Stingray. It was carrying a RED TACTICAL, Movi gimbal, wireless viewing, RTH, ALT-POS Hold, and all of the bells and whistles. Not even sure what I was looking at, but it was the...
