Roger G3XBM's (Mainly) Amateur Radio Blog: Low cost quadcopter

29 Dec 2014

Quadcopters are usually quite expensive but Banggood have one for sale that will not break the bank.

Next flight will commence down the playing field :-)

The Wright Brothers must have had many attempts before they got it right..

G1KQH said...: Yes it looks ok for the money, plenty of plastic, controller, comes with some spare blades charger etc, got it in about two weeks in the Xmas post direct from HK .. If and when we get it going properly (when the L plates are off),and she lets me have a go, I might do a video over the property! I was also thinking of if I could lift a piece of string with it, up to the tree at the front of the house a (BIG Silver Birch) so I can tie the long wire to it?
