    I used to be pretty into FPV stuff. Just sort of lost interest. I figured out I was more into building and tinkering than i was into flying them. The only thing i miss about them now is all the soldering.

    My youtube page has a few flights.

    Nice! What are you flying? I've been having a blast with an alien 5"

    Get it from Amazon. I'll send you the seller I got mine from. They included extra goodies for free

    I got a 32gb sd card (not the "elite" or whatever fancy one DJI gives in the 8 or 16gb but still free is free), the extended legs, a microfiber cloth thing, gimbal cover, and another thing or two. It's not much but it's still free. Probably $30-50 of free goodies

    Or not. Enjoy!! You're gonna have fun. As others had told me, be sure to update your firmware on the remote before flying.

    I need to swap out my props and test fly again. Haven't done that since I had my crash in the hotel last week haha. I was hoping to score some of those new platinum props but I can't seem to find them

    I was doing great in the hotel until it took a mind of its own. I'm sure you'll pick up on it quick. They make it very easy to fly.

    I had to take my 1st one back because I couldn't get the battery to charge correctly. The 2nd one worked fine

    You'd think. I plugged my first one in and the lights wouldn't calculate it was charging.

    I tried to use the active track on my spark last week out on the trails, but as soon as I get it in the air, it wouldn't fly because it said it was "restricted air zone". Was pretty bummed out lol
