    My firs t DJI 450 is on the way!!

    I flew a bit this weekend and went ok.....it was windy and foggy so I didn't get much footage. I figured I would focus more on Flying for a while. So I cut the little batwing gopro wing I was using...I charge my batteries and go out to fly. When it gets off the ground it does this surging...

    NAZA landing gear ($20, all parts available at Lowe's).

    NAZA landing gear ($20, all parts available at Lowe's).

    I wonder how hard those fiberglass CB antenna rods would be to cut. That would get more break resistance and light as well. Great idea though....I might go to Lowes on Saturday! I want to get my GoPro in the air!

    My firs t DJI 450 is on the way!!

    Hello everyone!! Did a good bit of building tonight.....my next step seems to be connecting my R6208SB to the NAZA and the GPS. The R6208SB seems to be less popular model or newer because there seems to be less videos on installing it. The R6208 has 1-6 plugs and 7&8 I assume 8 is the S-Bus...
