Hi, Flite Test Forum!
Just a few short weeks ago, I was completely unaware of multirotors. I got TOTALLY hooked over the holidays, and realized that there's a very steep (but enjoyable) learning curve. I've never done RC before, so I had to start from "hey, what do all these switches on the transmitter do?" and "Expo? What's expo?"
The beginners' series has been REALLY helpful, and the Anycopter kit has been really fun. And I had to finally learn how to solder.
Last night, I finally got to "hello world" state when I hooked up a LiPoly, an ESC, a motor, and a servo tester for the very first time:
(I know I shouldn't have the prop on, but I did it for the video because I love the FWOOOSH)
I've always been a software hacker, but I've never really been solid with a soldering iron, and this was a great impetus to learn.
I have plenty, PLENTY more to learn -- thanks to all you guys for all the help, encouragement, and advice on the forum!
