Hello everyone . Glad I got back in to rc & found flite test. Have been out of rc for 10 years & things have changed a bit. Quadcopter so kool went out a bought one. Thanks everyone for all the utube videos that help me decide on qx180 my 1st drone.
I too am making my resurgence into this hobby. I've had a bunch of cars, a boat in the last 15 or so years, but I have only flown a single park flyer sized airplane in that time. Before that, I was heavy into RC since I was extremely young.. I had flown pretty much everything from speed flyers, warbirds, biplanes, quarter scale, etc... but a couple weekends ago I flew my first plane since those days... a Great Planes S.E.5a that I've had for some time. I have several planes I've purchased in a hopes of returning to the hobby, but only until that weekend did I actually put something up. I had this plane so long, it was unfinished and Great Planes discontinued it!
The flight was amazing and after brushing some cobbwebs off, it was just like riding a bike. I did touch and gos, rolls, loops, etc... Only until my ESC cut power to everything did I fall out of the sky. Luckily with only minor scrapes and a broken prop.
I just built my first quadcopter as well... This hobby is SO different since the olden days, but SO MUCH MORE exciting and easy! I have far fewer problems crashing thanks to FliteTest and am glad to see others returning due to the fun they instill in the hobby.
