Hi all, Been prowling this forum for a while, figured its time to join. I've been interested in quadcopters since I first heard of them a couple years ago. Finally around 4 months ago I got a cheap H36 and learned to fly LOS in horizon mode and fricken loved it! Bit the bullet and after hundreds of hours of research I bought a radio and started flying in sims. Once I felt comfortable there I built a tinywhoop to fly indoors then built a 4" racing quad (5" talon build in progress also). I've got so much to learn about everything still, but I'm in, hook, line and sinker. Flying: Talon 6S 6" 2407s 381g no bat, Martian 3, 5" 2205s sooo heavy + gopro session 5 573g AUW, Aurora 5" 2205s 280g no bat, Druckbaer 3" 1404s 172g AUW 3S 550, BQE Megapixel 2.5" 1107s 139g AUW 3S 550, BabyHawk R 2.5" 164g AUW 3S 550 (stock except microeagle, CRSF, 2.5" arms) and maybe 3 more, for now...

Now of course... I probably wouldn't buy a little red Saturn because I have to imagine its tough to keep them taken well cared for now that the brand is dead... also... it wont bind with my taranis and can't fly :p but still! carl.vegas Current Quads: Operational: Diatone GT2 200 In need of repair: Bumble Bee, tehStein, Slightly modified Vortex 250 • |
