I wonder if I get spearienced enuff with it if I'll be able to mount my mini spy-type camera under it and fly/hover over my track and do some filming...

looking forward to see the first results!
IÂ´m curious if it will be possible to fly it indoors, those flying machines need more space than you would think. sons got 2 helicopters and 1 really small quadcopter and they really need some space not too touch the sourindings at the start.
have fun with it :)
cool chrashes in the video, a really nice looking presentation:)
if that thing really flies away after these crashes - hats off!!!
great light effects, too!

Those are cool. We saw some yesterday in For Myers for $65. The Cap'n restrained me.

My son got a blade copter last year for Xmas and while they may seem too big for indoors they are too small to fly outdoors unless you are really good and experienced because the slightest wind can blow it away on to a roof top or into a tree!

One tip I learned is when you first take off you have to get it up off the underlying surface rather quickly (at lease a foot or so), because the turbulance from the blades will cause it to want to go sideways one way or the other. This is kinda tricky if you don't even understand how they fly and you will most likely crash a number of times before you get the hang of it.

This is self leveling. You can throw it into violent rolls and let go of the button you're doing them with and it'll upright itself and level off. Its a quadcopter. Its controller(3 skill levels) is set up so you can do stunts with it. There are a bunch of videos on You Tube. Some in high winds.
