Hey everyone! I've been reading a ton of stuff here on the forums, educating myself on what is shaping up to be my new addiction. About three months ago, a good friend of mine went out and bought a Phantom and brought it over to show it off. I was instantly enamored. So I started doing research about these wonderful flying machines to see if I thought it was something that would hold my interest, and the more I read, the more I knew I had to get one for myself.
This website has been such a great resource, giving me the confidence to go out and buy a kit, knowing that I will be able to get advice and direction if I get stumped. I have a long background of troubleshooting, problem solving and hardware/software configuration, which causes me to know that we all need different viewpoints at times, so it's nice to have this resource.
After a lot of window shopping, I went to flying-hobby.com and bought a DJI F550 RTF kit with a Futaba T8J, Naza M V2 + GPS and a Senrigan GP-45 Gimbal w/ landing gear. I was a bit nervous about sending that much money to a company in Hong Kong, but I read several other posts from people that had purchased from them in the past, so I gave it a shot.
Everything arrived this morning, and I have had a case of perma-grin all day long. I am taking my time, savoring the build process and am very happy that I opted for the self build option.
I will be asking questions, and I look forward to getting to know some fellow addicts.
Special thanks to those who are running this site, I know it takes a lot of effort and time.
