I am thinking about getting the upgrade for my WKM as the price is now affordable. Can the ground station setup (click & Go) record the flight data for review after the flight things like flight path, altitude, speed, etc etc. Thanks Chris.

Well having built my F450 & spent a quite a few hrs practicing on the sim & a couple of tethered flights I finally felt ready to try for real & here is a quick clip of some of my first flight. https://vimeo.com/40173681 Chris.

Just wanted to say hi to everyone, as I am new to multi rotors well if I am honest I am new to the whole RC world. But having seen a few youtube videos of quadcopters my excitement dodged my common sense & got hold of my wallet! & The expensive toy should arrive any day now.
