"Andre thats amazing thank you. We using Windows 10 for GCS, what would be best? I really dislike Windows machines, not that they bad its just my platform is apple. We are wanting to do a little BLOS at times as well and if there is something better…"

"I think its a great idea to kit it. 15min flight time on a quad that size i think is good. Would it be x8 upgradable (i think so with a small mod) and also what is the max battery size that can be fitted to the machine?(one maybe two lips?)I would…"
