Re: Phantom "flying classes" or certifications That's what I'm doing. In fact my Hubsan H107C arrived today. The plan is to master it before buying a Phantom.

I'm actually looking to buy this charger. So it will charge the Phantom batteries with no problem?

I'm in the same boat. I want to buy a Phantom and use my GoPro to do some arial photography. But I've never flown one before and don't want to practice on such an expensive toy. So today I ordered a Hubsan H107C HD off Amazon to practice on. It's much smaller then a Phantom but it should have...

I know this is probably a dumb question, but is the Phantom 3-axis or 6-axis? I'd like to buy a trainer craft and I'm trying to decide how important it is getting a 6-axis over a 3-axis. I'd prefer a larger one but it seems like most of the inexpensive quads are 3-axis.

Is there any notable difference between the Syma X1 and the Hubsan X4? Do you like one over the other?

PF, that's a great idea. I think I'll pick one of those up to start playing with. To the OP's original question, what about using a rubber floor mat? You can roll it up and tuck it under your arm.

It looks like you were flying under power lines. Have you flown at that location before?

Wow, that's awesome.

That's cool!

Can't see your pictures.

Concerning to someone who is contemplating buying one.

I'm waiting to see what the price is gonna be. I can always buy a Phantom if it's too expensive.
