There is something cool about flying.
A short while ago I decided to order an extremely entry level quadcopter so that I could learn a bit about how to fly one. Not that I really have a purpose – although I anticipate that being able to take video with it will be quite fun – but more to learn how to fly and control one (consistent with the idea of ‘learning to write‘), so that if in the future I decide to get one that had a lot more capability it won’t be my first time flying the copter.
After doing some comparative research, I decided on the UDI U818A (other possibility was the Syma X5C), which luck would have it, Amazon had on sale. Well, it arrived today!
Isn’t it a beauty!?
Can’t wait to try it out. Of note, the battery only lasts ~7mins (or so they claim) so I ordered a pack of another 5 batteries, so when I go out to play I can have a number with me at a time. I also ordered some replacement blades, in case I screw them up.
Fun times ahead!
