Maidened Quad

Maidened my first quad today! Incredibly stable. Really happy with build and power. Still getting a feel for controls - im used to flying a 3D helicopter with on axis rolls/flips and pitch control so this is taking a little getting used to the relatively delayed response. hovering at just under 45% throttle.

Here is my setup:

APM2 - store.diydrones.com

3DR 433mhz radio Telemetry - store.diydrones.com

Spektrum Dx6i + AR6200 - my bottom drawer

Got around 7 minutes of flight (used 2600mah of 3600mah)

Weight: will add later - guessing around 1.2-1.3kg at present

Location: Constantia - Cape Town
