I have just purchased one of these bad boys and so am waiting with expectation for it to arrive. Chris, the biggest question I'm having right now, is what battery and charger to buy.

A Slovenian branch of the European roofing company Bramac introduced a roof inspection service using quadrotors a month or so ago....

"@ Chris,
Interesting, I've been thinking of a ruggedized, tethered, ground powered, blade protected multicopter capable of serious "work" for some time now.
Was even contemplating small diameter high pressure…"

"Gary, absolutely on the children, but due to silly concerns by their mother they're not allowed to hang off the roof and do the top floors. Dunno why I had them really. Useless. Gotta get a robot to a kid's work!"

Having learned the hard way on a few things, I thought I'd put together a little video that shows some tips and tricks with the APM mission planner.
