"I wouldn't trust it, and if you have a problem with it, good luck sending it back to HK. You could use it in a Rover or Boat but not something that flies. "

About the Quadrocopter

I have been building Quadrocopter's for about 12 months now.
In the past couple of months i have really progressed. I have recently been on Television.

I plan to push the limits of my Quad in the next few months, I would like to fly for more than 30 minutes. Endurance plays a big part for the Quad. The longer i can stay in the air the further i can fly. I hope to fly more than 6kms using 900mhz video link and 12dbi patch antenna. .
More to come from Simon.
