Hey everyone!

I'm Mike, I am a VALVE Steamworks VR developer and as far as flying goes, a pretty new pilot and only had toys before this year. After practicing on a simulator for a few months and the toys I figured it was time to own a proper quad.. I got myself a 250 RTR and it's OK, but I have a need for speed so started messing with mini's and freestyle flying. I bought an ARRIS X180 and had issues with it out of the box so I have returned that and gotten myself a RotorX Atom V2 kit, that should be arriving.... TODAY!! :D I'll be posting FPV videos as well as writing my own music to go with the videos.

Thank you! I totally understand. haha I've programmed and ran a few boards.


- Thanks everyone! I have a good understanding of electronics but not much experience with modern Quadcopters or RC's, I used to race on-road 15yrs ago but those systems have all changed. haha. So, yep. Excited to learn more about tuning and building. I did get the Atom V2 in!! It's built but came with a XT30 molex and 12gu wire. So, I am going to go to the hobby shop tomorrow and pick up a couple XT60 connectors and I have the wire. It supports the 3S 60c 1300mah's and I'm not really wanting to run an adapter or buy a whole new set of batteries just for this.

Careful, I'm liable to make you an admin and make myself more scarce than usual. ;)
