I'm pretty interested to see the quad built too. I won't be able to work on the build until after my daughter goes to bed. We're playing right now. I'll get some pics posted as soon as I can.

The Dart 250 FPV mini quad is built and it looks really good. Some of the frame pieces are a bit flimsy when they are just sitting on the bench but once everything is assembled, it's actually quite rigid. I really like the little blue rubber pieces that separate the clean frame from the dirty frame. Very very cool!

I took some pics with my phone and then tried to email them to myself so that I could download them to my laptop so that I could post them to the Hangout. But...my phone is crap and the email isn't working. I'll get the pics to my PC today and then post them later on after my lil girl wakes up because my PC is still in her room, lol.

And...we are getting new cell phones today...Whooo hoo!!!

hmmm, I was just going to post some pics of my quad but I don't see the option for uploading pics anymore. It use to be just below the message window and now I don't see it.

That's the way I usually did post pics. It's just odd that, even now, I don't see that option.

I did start a new thread for the "actual" build of my mini quad and I was able to post my pics there.

I've asked this before but I don't remember what the answer was, so let's do this again please.

I've seen videos of mini quad flyers actually tossing their quad into the air and then raising the throttle, then the self level does level the quad and then the pilot flies around. Will the Acro Naze32 allow me to do this also or should I just forget about this "launch method" all together?

Why would you want to toss your quad in the air? :D :lol: I've held mine before and gave it some throttle and just let go of it... I'm sure tossing it up would work too. I'll give it a go later over some grass.. :D :D
