"Hi Corey,
I tried to contact you via email but I'm not sure if it got through to you.
This post was done some time ago and I only just found it but no doubt you are still interested and maybe even have a system now? If you are still looking…"
Stephen R Mann replied to Corey's discussion Bite the bullet - ArduCopter not an option?"I learned to fly quads with a Parrot ar.drone with the McGyer R/C mod."
Shaun Stanton replied to Corey's discussion Bite the bullet - ArduCopter not an option?"The blade MQX kit comes with AC Adapter a small charger, the copter of course, a simple Spektrum DSMX controller, 4 spare propellers, and a 1 cell LIPO battery using JST connectors."
Søren Kuula replied to Corey's discussion Bite the bullet - ArduCopter not an option?"Hi,
No I did not have an MQX. However just about everyone else I fly with have one. I learned flying with the coax heli MQX; that is also very good. The only ridiculous thing about it was that it came with a charger running off normal AAA…"
Shaun Stanton replied to Corey's discussion Bite the bullet - ArduCopter not an option?"One of the things you have to be aware is that multi rotors can climb faster than they can safely descend. If you descend to fast vertically without any lateral motion the copter's blades will stall out in its own rotor down-wash and…"
Shaun Stanton replied to Corey's discussion Bite the bullet - ArduCopter not an option?"I agree 100% I learned to fly these things before tackling a heavy lift CInestar 8 Multirotor. You can bind them to any DSM2/DSMX controller. You can crash them and crash them and crash them before they break. I have broke…"
Shaun Stanton replied to Corey's discussion I am sorry."No worries. One of the things that I did not mention but is extremely important is a battery monitoring circuit, ie your "fuel gage." There is ones that you can get that plug into the APM 2.5 Flight Controller.…"
Corey replied to Corey's discussion I am sorry."Haha you bloody legend, thanks for the links mate I really appreciate it."
Corey replied to Corey's discussion Bite the bullet - ArduCopter not an option?"Thanks for the recommendations. The E-flite MQX has very good reviews everywhere I have looked."
Miles Smith replied to Corey's discussion I am sorry."Just to comment on the GoPro aspect.
I've used a GoPro on many of my projects, and I chose it specifically because of it's high-quality image AND it's small form factor. It's extremely light, and is designed exactly for…"
Shaun Stanton replied to Corey's discussion I am sorry."My bad here are some links for most of the stuff. Unfortunately this site looks out of stock on alot of the items. They seem to replenish pretty quick though.

DJI Hexa Frame

Søren Kuula replied to Corey's discussion Bite the bullet - ArduCopter not an option?"Hi, if you havent flown an R/C heli/copter before, get yourself a good quality indoor coax heli or one of the tiny quads. Dont buy the very cheapest, but rather something with a decent spare part availability. I like the E-flite Blade MCX and…"

Hey, After a few weeks of trawling through the forums and countless google searches I am still left a tad confused. Firstly many people have told me to get a flight simulator before I try flying a quadcopter to ensure I have a minimal amount of crashes. This seems logical however I still do not know which simulator I should use. One very helpful member suggested these. http://www.microflight.com/FMS-Flight-Simulator…See More
