Hey there all,
I've been a flitetest enthusiast for a number of years. Took a bit of a break for a while but I'm trying to get back into flying, building, etc. I've built and flown at least 10 different flitetest plans/kits and plan to build more!
The versacopter was my first 'real' quad. Before that I'd had a few super tiny toy-like devices. I really enjoyed building the vc from the ground up, tuning it in cleanflight, strapping a gopro to it and getting some great high-altitude panorama footage of local parks and stuff.
After sitting in my closet for a couple of years now I tried knocking the dust off of it to see if I could get it airborne again. The flight controller may or may not actually be bricked, but I've lost patience with it and don't feel like struggling with it anymore.
I want to build a new quad. I'm not really into racing and never really got into FPV although I'll certainly give it more shots. I want a quad that is big and stable enough to get nice footage with a gopro-like camera. It would be nice if it came in a kit like the versacopter did, but that's not a deal breaker.
My main thing is that I don't want to cobble together a solution and read a million forum posts to get it working. I'd like it to be compatible with my current spektrum transmitter, maybe even reuse my orange receiver. Heck if I can reuse these motors that the versacopter uses I'll do that (or maybe at least choose one that could use these vc ones as backup motors).
Is there a good, simple, non-expert-friendly large-ish quad kit that you could recommend me?
