    easy enough..... if using a secod, small battery, you don't even need to tie anything into the quad correct? just figure out how to securely mount everything?

    Exactly... Completely standalone. I am going to include a small lightweight 750mah battery for the video tx which will give you plenty of power.

    These remind me of the movie Manhattan Project and the kid who controls his little remote control car to get the "Weapons Grade" plutonium out of the plant, lol...

    I'd recommend getting a cheapy one first to get used to flying it and then proceed from there. The 1SQ even has a camera onboard for pics. ;)

    you can even get the one without the camera for a little under $100 too if you don't want that function.

    semi is key.......i'm still not sure how i broke one of the carbon arms:eek:

    good news is that the arm/motor assembly is the most expensive part at $15 :laugh:

    someone needs to build a mouse into a mini one and recreate Tom and Jerry (in a sick kind of way)
