Sharing the love...

The friend who started me in this bad habit hasn't had a chance to do much flying or building except for some micro quads (Eachine 011s) so today I handed him the controls of my Cheap250.

If nothing else it's a great demo platform for the hobby with the APM and GPS combo giving steady stable flight with rock solid virtual fencing and "just let go of the sticks" catchall (when in Alt Hold mode)



Just a minute of video - he flew through a full 1500mah pack - around 10 or so minutes while I helped his nephews search for list props!

Was good to get him out and flying - hopefully will motivate his builds along a bit more.

Looks like he had fun for a first time! brings a smile to my face. One of my new favorite things now that I am starting to gain experience is talking with and watching new pilots!

Ive been having a blast taking QuadStyles under my wing. Even if I myself am still learning. Wink

I'm a bit bummed out because it's good weather again today but I'm trying to do some housework (and start the daisy chain rebuilding of craft to get the Trifecta back up and running).

All he really needs in a TX/RX combo and he'll be ready to build his version of Cheap250 - I've got enough batteries for us to share for a start.

Either way I better get back to the workbench so that we can fly something soon!
