@ Old Man - maybe pretty easy for you, but I am truly a noob to all this quad stuff, I have never played with RC gliders or any other RC toys.
Now I'll have to go investigate those things. My interest in all this started with my Grandchildren. They all have quadcopters, and they all have pretty much the same models. My home has some acreage surrounding it, so the kids and I kind of set up a track for them to fly and compete with each other. Reminds me of pole bending, and barrel racing that the horse people do. It's not all that big of an area, and of course until now they were all flying in a place that they could see their quads to fly them. I got each of them an FVP system for their quads for Christmas, we are going to get the FVP stuff installed this coming Sunday afternoon, call it a group build. Now their little flying course can evolve into some of the area beyond their own vision, around and through some trees, etc using the FPV.
I was thinking after seeing Rickeys post, how cool it would be to add some kind of drop system, as you called it a release trigger, then the kids could compete trying to drop stuff against some kind of ground target . . add some excitement and skills to all this to keep them really busy with it. I guess I will have to seek info on how to do that stuff. Maybe I will have to make it more challenging and have them pick stuff up too . . .
@Rickey - I really think you idea to deliver your wife's present is cool. How did she like it? I bet she probably thought it was 'sweet', eh?
