I have 5 little lipo batteries that fit in those quads. If anybody wants them give me a shout. I have since bought something a little bit better just hoping that the weather improves so I can get out with it. You will love it macmagoo. Just make sure you do the dance of the Bumble Bee to set your compass (with no metal in the vicinity) and wait for all the lights to confirm GPS lock

Well done. I had my first flight with the Phantom today, no crashes, but not as smooth as I would like it to be for filming or taking photo's.

No crashes but I will have to practice a bit to get it smooth and more controlled. In my picture there is a white plastic thing shaped like an S or Z, what is it for?

Well i’ve been waiting for about two weeks now for Gearbest to deliver. One item i think is in the UK waiting to be delivered and the other hasn’t even left, little concerned about that one because it cost a tidy sum Gearbest didn’t even have the decency to inform me. So with the long wait i decided to read up on building your own quadcopter. Frame built, now waiting for the interesting bit’s to arrive.

I don't have that piece and have searched the net looking at box contents but can't find anything like it

Awesome! Gotta ask....what's in the hutches? Sorry I missed this question yesterday, do you mean the guinea pig runs on the decking? Just keep them up there until the piggies go out, they live in the garage normally

I am hoping the weather will improve tomorrow to get out for a bit of much needed practice.
