My cheap Syma starter quadcopter (and its mind-blowing 2MP "HD" camera) is expected to arrive 5/27-6/12. Just in time to learn how to fly and then shoot fireworks at it for the 4th of July. Or the reverse!
@Moose I'm guessing you're waiting for a X5C-1? Good quad for the price. Just beware of the wind! Mine blows away in the slightest breeze. My very first flight with it was basically 1. Start camera recording 2. Unlock motors 3. Hop up to about 30 feet elevation 4. Desperately chase Syma across football pitch, softball field, over three fences 5. Throw stuff at drone eating tree until the Syma finally came crashing to the ground
Awesome! I was placing bets with myself on how many more days my phone would display the big thread before it just crashed chrome. I bet it was gonna happen within a week, so this is great timing!
@djslack heh yes, I suppose same will happen here for a popular thread but at least each topic can be a thread of it's own. UI is a bit hidden but click forum icon for drop down to add topic when you have one (will make that more clear soon)
@snapster Got it. Thanks. Was hoping to subscribe to the forum to be notified of any new threads. I'm already loving the forum so much more than the mile-long thread!
Well, this should be interesting.....
I can't horse around here any more.
Welcome drone enthusiasts
Giddyup!
@ruouttaurmind Want this on a T. Now.
@OldCatLady It's pretty awesome. Different artist, but check out the buffalo here: http://twistedsifter.com/2015/04/steampunk-pegasus-made-from-scrap-metal-by-hasan-novrozi/
@ruouttaurmind Pinterest has a lot of his stuff, mostly listed as steampunk.

@snapster Can I subscribe to the forum for notification of activity?
@ruouttaurmind you'll need to subscribe to each thread - look for the old fashion envelope icon under the first/header post

This is far too good a domain name to be mediocre.
@zippyus to be honest this was sort of us giving up but then we couldn't stop laughing.
@snapster I'd like to buy a drone.horse t-shirt. kthxbye
@Ignorant ha! you just might be on to something there. I think I'd actually buy one too.
/me checks mass of horse head mask; checks payload capacity of DJI Phantom 1
@zippyus Drooonnnne hhooorrrssseee! (Zooming around room with arms outstretched, making drone noises.) I'd really like to buy a T-shirt too.
Now I want a drone to be part of this exclusive club.
@Alien88 I bet you could find some recommendations around here.
A silent drone is something to be cherished, and yet here, I think, stealth must be achieved by other, more context appropriate means...
Does this forum have pagination? If not, I'm out.
@phatmass This was how they decided to implement pagination - instead of a new page, you simply go to a new forum!
@phatmass exactly as @brhfl suggests. In fact we have pagination not only between forums but between threads in the new forum!
So cool!
