    Got an email from their shipping dept. right at their closing time saying "UPS cannot find your address, could you verify it for me?"

    I said I sure will but how did you ship it the first time to my address?

    :laugh:

    What I think it was, they did not have it boxed up ready to ship like Mike claimed, go figure, so they make up some excuse which I'm sure they have used before.

    Idk what to expect anymore.

    This is the deal you've been having troubles with and have been posting about? Cinedrones is no place I'll buy from then.

    First flight today. I didn't crash it haha

    [​IMG]

    I'm sad because I flew it later in the evening and as I was setting it up I had some deer walk over looking at it like "wtf?" And thought it was food. I had my dad film while I turned it on and at first they were fine until I powered it on. They all scattered haha. His iPhone fubarred the video though. :/

    I just wish I got the deer freaking on video. I'm trying to walk out there with the drone and they're like "oh mah gerd food!" and walking right up to me. Set the drone down and they started to walk over to it all curious. Didn't want them to start stomping it or something haha

    I don't have right now. I was too focused on actually building. I can take some tonight. I wish I had taken more for the 250 build. It's so clean now. My 680 build is a bit of a mess at the moment. I'm trying to mount the ESCs under the frame and not under the motors.
