    i saw a couple of things that i thought were multirotors at first glance, but were really just the cameras on cables. they were using them for the skiing downhill, snowboard slopestyle, ski jumping, and the other events that coverd some ground.

    both... :D Not 100% convinced I'm going to sell... I'm thinking of 3 options:

    1. Buy Tarot 650... Have had huge success with the Tarot 810 hex and it's built very well. If I do this, I'll strip the electronics from this QU4D and sell the frame.

    2. Buy Phantom 2 or Phantom 2 Vision and be done with APM all together. Sell QU4D for what'll it will take to get me into a similarly equipped P2 or P2V.

    3. Buy the 2014 SD QU4D frame kit and upgrade current frame to new spec. I'll try to sell the old frame if I go this route...

    decisions decisions decisions...

    cheapest route is to get the Tarot 650 frame... most expensive is going DJI.

    that's not bad at all, considering a phantom shell is $50 for two pieces if injection molded plastic.
