    Easter Special FPV Challenge

    It's about easter, and there is nothing better that a FPV egg hunt! I was thinking that each person would fly around (maybe in a forest or something) and look for eggs. I was going to suggest somehow picking them up and returning them to their basket, but.. blah. So anyway, Yeah!:rolleyes:

    quad advice

    I would like some advice on this quad design. I have been flying fpv with a tricopter and I am wanting to build a quad. I plan on putting a brushless gimbal on it eventually. I am going to build this out of g10 glass fiber and 1/2" booms. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
