Yeah well I've always had cars even the odd helicopter and plane too in the past
But ain't had anything rc in a while so just on a whim bought one tbh as like the airiel photography side of it
I'm just curious and after some questions and advice on the setup I've bought in terms of what else will be needed for customising it

I found Heliguy very good when I was playing with heli stuff a few years ago. Helpful staff, plenty of spares, and they *had* a very good forum (I think the forum is dormant now) Looking at their website now, I guess they can help with spares & advice if you need. Have fun!  ps/mods : I'm not related to above (apart from being a past customer) but feel free to remove this post if you see it as advertising. Thanks, |

Right just wanna bump this thread and see if anyone else I to drones and posting mods to them
Possibly links to videos filmed and pics ?
Seems to be the only drone thread on this site
Surely I can't be the only sad guy in here that enjoys them ?

I was only thinking yesterday that I'd like to build a drone..... the ready built stuff like the DJI Phantom seems to get mixed reviews and appear easy to damage and hard to repair ( although they look great when flying ) so I was also thinking about how hard it would be to build one.... interesting info here... beginnerflyer.com/build-a-drone/ |

Well I got given a phantom 3 as a gift and tbh have had lots of fun and given me the incentive to delve deeper into the drones
And much like yourself if was doing it from scratch myself I'd build a custom drone
Don't get me wrong I absolutely love the phantom but I feel you would have more plus points and not as limited when building your own drone
Having looked into it more and a better understanding it's pretty simple tbh and your a bit more spoiled for choice for parts to suit the drone to your needs aswell
Link to phantom video of cammel lairds and Mersey I recently did
Raw unedited footage tho
