One of my very first quad builds... Its been re-designed probably 5-6 times before it's current incarnation. Looks pretty sharp if you ask me, fly's decent for something controlled by a Naza and as big as it is. It mostly just sits as a showpiece these days. The light bridge is actually great for something like this where latency isn't a big factor, range is about 3-4miles with a directional on the receiver end. It's amazing how cheap the V1 lightbridges are these days if your looking. And the ability to have both HD video & sbus control using a single device on a single frequency really is a wonderful thing. Runs better on 6s, and get longer flight times (~25mins w/6s 6000) but don't have a 6s that fits in the bay, so been using a 4s 6600 most the time. to run 6s, I'll strap a 2s 6000 random pack on the outside below the lipo bay and run them in series.

This thing looks great. How does it fly with such a large battery?
