<div dir="ltr">It might be worth changing out your power connectors for something like Anderson Power Poles. Helps cut down on the number of pigtails you need to make.

I would thoroughly enjoy a quad- or other copter that does video.
Cheapest I can find on the market is north of $600. Any one have a
better source? <br>
Wouldn't mind building one based around a Beaglebone Black,
Raspberry Pi, or Arduino. :)<br>

Hiya gals and guys.<br>
<br>
I seem to remeber the last time I was over there a couple
of people were working quadcopters. I dont suppose anyone
still is or perhaps can teach me to fly one? I was doing
KAP but i think id rather get into quad or hex aireal
photography....<br>
<br>
Let me know!<br>
