Hi all very new to flying anything ,
ive been for a while driving a 1/5th 26cc hpi baja , but have been watching the quadcopter thats been filming our activities thinking that 3 dimensional stuff looks fun , then when realizing it was carrying cameras i was blown away and have been reading up and watching videos as much as possible to gain a little knowledge in what to do next .....
I bought my son and i a little hubsan x4 h107 and have since christmas day used it and charged over 45 times , i cant put it down , its great fun , although taking it outside on what i would say was a totally windless day and having the settings on my little bird set to easy to fly indoors setting ,was soon to find that the smallest of breezes was enough to blown my quad 3 gardens down , slight panic i hit the advanced mode button and managed to get it back with a little more tilt angle than safe mode allows , lesson learned sweaty palms and phew nearly lost that then cold feeling .....
youve probably all seen this you tube clip but OMG if this is what the big birds can do im totally hooked http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2itwFJCgFQ now i know this is mostly if not all done by by computers ( and i have absolutely no idea what the smart fella is talking about ) but its the agility of the acutual quad thats blown my mind , i so need one i want one so much its hurting me to know nothing about them enough to go out and but and build one from a kit ....
i want every thing on it ...eventually lol the gps , rth the other stuff that i dont know whats its called but i want it ....not felt this since i was a young lad and saw my first bike..oh im 47 now ..
i can take all the advice you throw at me so long as its not abbreviations and its explained in the english lol

Hi Ian and welcome to MRF.

Have a good luck around and walk first. the little Hubsan is a good place to start. If you want to roll your sleeves up and get stuck in look at the ARTF kits (Almost Ready to Fly) Or if you want to fly out of the box then the DJI Phantom is a good place to start.
