Hello everyone from WI....I have a confession to make.

Hello everyone, I have a confession to make............

I own a Phantom. There I said it. I know the Phantom gets bashed by many hard core builders and flyers. I've been around RC for about 7 or 8 years and consider myself a pilot and not an operator. I love me some foamie planes and planks make me smile.

I started in multirotors in the early days of tricopters that were stabilized with 4 analog gyros so I've been around them for a while. I stepped away from multirotors for a while because, being a videographer, everything had to carry a camera and I got tired or all the post production after going flying. I recently got the Phantom second hand from a friend that upgraded to the Vision. I helped him get the Phantom working and while I know it is super simple for newbies it makes me smile flying it. I love that I can fly it and not have to be constantly reacting and thinking about what is happening. It also makes me happy to know if something does happen I'm a good enough pilot to handle it manually if needed.

Anyway, just wanted to say hello to everyone.

So long as someone takes the time to learn what they're doing and to do it safely, everybody's welcome!!

Glad you found us, jump right in and get comfortable, we're here to help.

Thanks Bartman,

We met at eFest and had a long conversation by the 3d area where you told me about these forums. I also sent an email to you personal address regarding our conversation.

So glad I'm not looked down on for being a Phantom flyer. Big relief. So glad I behave when flying out.
