Greetings from northern New Jersey

[Steve_in_NJ]

OK, I have been bitten by the multirotor bug. I have watched many more than enough youtube videos to see that this is something I want to get into. I have been shooting stuff (with a camera) all my life. I have always observed the R/C hobby from a distance, and thought, "that looks like fun, but..." and never got into it. But,now, jeez - gyros and accelerometers and gimbals -oh my! SO, I dove into the details of building a quad a few weeks ago, and bought an itty bitty one to learn the basics of handling. I have started a build thread and would appreciate your input.

New Jersey in the house <said in loud booming voice>!

Welcome to the site Steve. We've got enough NJ folks here that there is no longer any reason why we shouldn't rename the site Multirotorforums of New Jersey, USA. Anyone mind?

Nice to have you join us and we'll see you in the spring for the first ever International World of New Jersey Multi-Rotors Fly-In International to be held in a yet to be determined location at a yet to be determined date.

International World of New Jersey Multi-Rotors Fly-In International to be held in a yet to be determined location at a yet to be determined date.

I am in favor of that! I have actually been in contact with a couple of "traditional RC Clubs" and have learned that there are zero multirotor flyers in that crowd.
