    Interested in seeing this. Know one of the program managers for that product at Horizon and I'm thinking about playing the quad game.

    There is a motto in the quadcopter realm, kind of like our Taco modding motto ... 'build > crash > repeat'

    Trust me, I know way more than you'd like to believe. Hence why I'm not playing this game, yet.

    Think of it this way - these are just toys compared to what you and I do... all of these multis are just toys... some are expensive, but alas they are still toys. :D

    Definitely toys, no different than my model airplane addiction I had for a while.

    Looks interesting.

    Curious how it compares to the 350...

    It's super close.. roughly the same size and shape... Camera is the same as your 350...

    Biggest new thing is the higher capacity battery and the integrated screen on the transmitter... Screen is actually an android device. We shall see... I think it'll fly the same as the 350.

    Looked pretty similar Mike.
    I'd bet the transmitter interface is better than the iPhone setup (not that I'm complaning) ;)
    Curious to see how much longer flight time it has...
