Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

I started with a DJI Phantom last year and quickly moved up to a Tarot 650 with a NAZA v2. During a recent music video I had the unfortunate "NAZA Flyaway" and to this day I've been unable to find the quad. I just finished my current drone, which is a Tarot 680 Pro with the SuperX FC. Learned a lot since starting and can assist when needed.
