    Who cares lol that means you can take it out more and not worry! And don't fix all that unless you can DIY, you will spend more than you care to and they just keep popping up

    x2. I would be afraid to fly it over the water though. Being my luck it would malfunction and I would lose it forever.

    Oh. I know with my luck it would crash into the ground waaaaaaay before I had the chance to get it over water.

    I sometimes forget, when you fly upside down, controls are inverted. :homer:

    i lost a phantom in the water becasue a battery had one of the 3 cells sponteniously die. not enough voltage to keep it up or get it back over land. worst part was that i had a set of floats for it halfway done on a table in the apartment.

    it was however a great excuse to build a bigger, better, 6 roter hexcopter though :D

    should have it up and running for this meet.

    The important question is, can it bring us food and drinks?

    Can you build a light float for them so if that happens they don't sink?

    I learned my lesson with my GoPro

    That would be awesome. Easy way to drop a bait out 300+ yards.

    I need to research it more. I like my quad but hate the shaky video.
    Flying FPV would be a huge leap in video editing as well.

    Also, this quad is on it's 3rd shell due to major crashes but the internals are like a Tonka.

    If I go ahead with a gmuse type gimbal can you recommend why one would still be better off going to a 6 or even 8 rotator quad?
