"I love the idea of the electrical tape. I will wrap the front of my quad with the electrical tape. I have yellow with green stripes, so it will be easy to see when I am looking at it against the sky. I will try that today. I will also definitely try…"

"Oh Andy sorry to hear that! Sounds like you had some fun though.  I don't suppose you had a camera on it by any chance?"

"Looks good, I'm learning also so easy is the key. I find orientation can be difficult at times. Perhaps I have to add some lights. Green for the front and red for the back perhaps. Had my 4th flight on Sunday but it was windy so I cut my…"
