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
30A Turnigy Plush ESCs - www.hobbyking.com
Turnigy Aerodrive SK3 2830-920kv brushless - www.hobbyking.com
Turnigy 3s1p 3600mah 30C lipo - www.hobbyking.com
10" Gemfan SF propset - www.netram.co.za
Spektrum Dx6i + AR6200 - my bottom drawer
GoPro HD - my top 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
