Hi gang,
i wanted to give a heartfelt thanks to all the posters- they DIYers and the sages here who post so much useful stuff.
I got my Phantom last night and used up 5 batteries worth of fun flying in the park, over the house and around the neighborhood - the neighbors are all very curious - not one person could pass by without being curious. The years of toying with little RC toys has paid off and after some initial orientation issues, I had decent control of the phantom and made it do some amazing things. A few friends were there to help and were amazed... a round of drinks and watching the gopro video afterward made for a fantastc night.
Next stop - FPV flying - this stuff is truly amazing!
Thanks everyone
