This is really hard.
I spent much of the day trying, but I’m just not coordinated enough to really make it work well. By the time I get the thing hovering, it runs out of juice to keep it up.
(I guess the same could be said about many of us, haha.)
MORE: Fortunately for me, Runty the dog does not attack my “drone.” For whatever reason, he sees it as a sort of friend.
I envy today’s youth. It took me hours of repeated crashing before I started to get the hang of flying that thing. The hardest part was making the damned video, because it takes two hands to operate the controller sticks on the transmitter, and another to operate the camera! I still don’t know how I managed to do it.

Eric, unless your going for a money pit thing, step away from the RC Helicopters!
Those little guys such as you have wont ever do what you want, not enough control surfaces, and a really horrible Transmitter. I fly Planes and Helis, with some Quadcopters thrown in, and it’s a wonderful hobby, but if you don’t spend a decent amount on good toys, you will be dissapointed and broke, if you buy good toys, you will be happy, and broke 🙂

I’m too cheap to spend a lot of money. This cost around $25.00 and while it ate a lot of time, I found it strangely therapeutic once I got the hang of it.
