Here is my newly built DJI Flamewheel F450 frame bought in goodluckbuy.com...

I was thinking to attach my APM2 on this quad or just let it fly with the FreeFlight Controller that came with.
I am still looking for battery packs to power this quad any suggestions will be much appreciated.
and still waiting for the availability of the Turnigy 9X in hobbyking or any variants of it that can be flashed/modded

all comments are welcome may it be from quad vets or new in the hobby
will be fitting this out with gopro and fpv or if it can carry a casio exelim z130 or my nokia N900

A Precursor to Drone...

Operation Aphrodite

This is our first FPV and RC the granddaddy

After seeing the video in youtube i did a quick lookup on wiki

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:


Aphrodite and Anvil were the World War II code names of United States Army Air Forces and United States Navy operations to use B-17 and PB4Y bombers as precision-guided munitions against bunkers such as those of Operation Crossbow.[1]

The plan called for B-17 aircraft which had been taken out of operational service (various nicknames existed such as 'robot', 'baby', 'drone' or 'weary Willy')[2] to be loaded to capacity with explosives, and flown by radio control into bomb-resistant fortifications such as German U-boat pens and V-weapon sites. It was hoped that this would match the British success with Tallboy and Grand Slamsupersonic ground penetration bombs but the project was dangerous, expensive and unsuccessful.
