Joining the quad gang - Tony's quad log

[Tony]

I'm joining the club of quads. Got my quad back off Lee today which I've posted comment on..

So I decided the first thing to do is make sure I can see which way it's facing... So here are the leds I've fitted..

I've done a short video of my first flight outside in the dark, not much going on but hey, it's me... Lol

It's uploading onto YT

Looks great with the blue LEDS Tony. Glad it got to you safely.

[Tony]

Thanks Lee for everything mate, I'm a happy chappy now...

[Derek]

WOW! That looks great! Very cool, Tony! It's good to see you flying again!!!

[Tony]

Yes it is great to be flying again Derek, I'll be out tomorrow with sj4000 recording flights....not doing FPV yet, but I will soon...those coloured leds that were on HELI are going on tomorrow, I'll be changing the light sequences to suit the quad

[Graham Lawrie]

Nice one Tony:) welcome back to the club:) I have a parcel ticket waiting for me tomorrow morning to pick up in the Post Office:)

[Tony]

Thanks Graham, nice to be back.. And have the sticks back in action... What's in the post like??

[Graham Lawrie]

I spy with my Predator V2 eye:)

[Tony]

Vtx, camera... ,

[KevG]

It all comes in the package with his goggles Tony,

[Tony]

That's pretty good then, I had to get mine all separately. I wonder how many of us in UK are fpv now then...

[Graham Lawrie]

Twice as many as half of us:)

[Tony]

Twice as many as half of us:)

Lmao, oh really, that's a canny few then. Enough to start an affiliation. Lol

Do you have some red or white to put on the other side? Thinking that if you get it turned around or far away from you that it will be difficult to tell what it's doing with just the one set on there.

[Tony]

I do actually Paul, but not keen on the LED strips, had red and green strips on the skids of my 450... Got white on the front now..

I extended the legs on quad this morning so I can fit 2200 lipos on, done a quick flight with the 2200 and it works pretty well which I'm pleased about as I have loads of those. Probably a bit sluggish for most of you guys but works well for me... Sunny day today so I'll be going out to do some flying...

[pvolcko]

Nice. Good luck. Keep it dry.

[KevG]

2200's been working for Dan too, Tony but he says they are a bit sluggish for him,
