froggy8 Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share Posted February 11, 2017 i have now put propellor protectors on just to be safe. been awhile since i flew one i will be going to b nq shortly to get some pipe frost protection, sandpapers and ca glue. pipe frost to protect the landing skid and sandpaper and ca to balance the propellers using this neat device. not cheap but well worth the money imo.

froggy8 Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share Posted February 11, 2017 that looks awesome! bit pricey though lol camera seems bit low to ground. your living room is quite spacious so you should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking mine out tomorrow for first flight and im a little nervous lol it was really easy to fly it but think i might need to calibrate it again as it tend to drift to the right. if you look at the video, i kept having to go left lol i think as long as you do the checklist, you will be fine. make sure to do a video though.
