Finally found a forum to share my interest/new found hobby.
So anyway just a short intro I'm 28 year old quadcopter enthusiast. Ever since I was a kid I had been fascinated by RC cars/heli/planes. But quadcopters really hit my G"rc"spot haha.
So currently I have a few questions don't know if someone can shed some light on them. Recently well not too long back I got myself an AR drone V1, i know its outdated but it was cheap. Its my first quadcopter ever so anyway the annoying bits,
1. Flight time (Didn't know they were so short haha but its ok)
2. 3rd time flying under my block, got egged on by a friend flew it almost up to the 12th floor and slammed into the wall came falling down tried catching it, broke the prop gear and shaft.
3. Dislike controlling it using my phone.
So to remedy these things I've been considering looking for a bigger battery + spareparts saw em on ebay alot and I'm considering getting this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Parrot-AR-Dr...:X:RTQ:US:1123 On the other hand I feel like just scrapping this ar drone maybe try and sell it off cause i mean its spanking new just for the broken prop gear and shaft, and buying a proper beginners quadcopter which is RTF. Not too expensive though coz im still new and dont want such a big heartache if it crashes. Got the Aerosky h100 in mind but not sure if locally they sell them.
Questions that come to mind when i first came to this forum was:
1. Flying is restricted at certain times of the day???
2. There are fields you can't fly unless your a member of some group or club?!?!?!
3. Why isn't there a good proper RC shop locally that does repairs or sells spareparts or you know what I mean
4. FPV IS A NO NO AMONG AUTHORITIES?????
Haha sorry for the long post, do feel free to comment and give me advice and thanks for reading.
