Anybody looking in my bathroom window already got what they deserve.

Any drone flying outside my bathroom window would just melt, sparks and noxious gas never mix well. :laugh2:

That's funny, my elderly neighbor tried to hint that I shouldn't walk around in front of the bay windows naked so often. I pretended to be shocked there was nothing in the tip jar. I bet she's looking around trying to see if I actually have one.

Quadcopter Update:

I have about as much restraint as a starving man in a buffet line...Sigh.

After flying the mini Quadcopter I bought a few times, breaking a few props and realizing that I suck...I knew I needed something more mellow to get the hang of it. "Mellow" must equal Bigger in the quadcopter dictionary so I ordered a bigger one that could if I wanted carry a gopro.

While I was searching I stumbled upon the ugliest cheapest looking quadcopter ever...so of course I ordered it $14.99 shipped 9 inches of ladybug themed Chinese goodness... :o

But it showed up in two days (from Texas)...and while incredibly cheaply constructed has taken a beating and controls so horribly slow that even I am starting to get the hang of flying...so I ordered another one.

Bonus: the hobby grade transmitter I purchased will bind to it so I can use a real transmitter.

Seriously, for $15 I have been blown away at the abuse this thing takes.

- Crash full speed into wall: Check
- Crash full speed into ground: Check
- Inverted full throttle flight into ground: Check
- Crash into chain link fence: Check

I think what saves this thing is that it weighs practically nothing.
Now I am worried about how I will ever fly the other two quadcopters...and have them survive much less risk a camera on them,

Well I still get to build it. >:D

SlammedNiss:
Almost gave in and bought a Phantom3 this weekend. They had an eBay special for $1000 which included a $150 gift card back. Then, there was a special where they were offering and additional 1% in eBay bucks, it was almost worth it. Alas, we are replacing our windows in our home and spending $1000 at this moment and time wouldn't have been wise. Hoping they have some good deals around black Friday/Xmas as my birthday is in Dec. and I should have a little extra spending $$.
