About Me:
I am a retired Information Technology administrator who built and flew control line as a kid, radio control as a young adult, and have experienced everything from trainers to scale ducted fans. After many years of being out of the hobby I have decided to get back in. A few years back I saw a Walkera UFO and thought "just how neat is that!" But I procrastinated until I finally got tired of seeing the X-heli commercials on television and broke down and bought a $58 counterrotating Syma S033G. Now don't get me wrong, for $58 its size is pretty impressive, and it flies really well "indoors" in any wind not so much. So it's with this experience that I am entering the world of building my own quad rotor.

"Well unfortunately my Samsung captivate obviously doesn't provide power over the USB,"
"I have the same frame and I actually took a mainframe plate from one of my HoverThings HT-450 frames and mounted on 3 inch standoffs above the top plate on the flame wheel. Put the APM 2.5 on it under a witespy dome. This way I can slide the battery…"
"I agree with Hugues, I use a stock 9X and I get all 6 flight modes from the 3 position switch split with the gear switch. I've never had a problem and I doubt if I ever will."
"Right on Lars, his battery does seem a little weak I know I run a 4000 MAH 25-50 C 3s for that specific reason. Now of course I've never had his problem, mainly because I'm fairly new at the entire thing myself and getting above 20 or 30 feet really…"
