I have to agree. You got a steal on that one.
I just finished the upgrades for my quad. (haven't flight tested the failsafe yet, but by the computer setup screen it should work)
I'm not overly impressed with the FPV setup. I finally got to test fly it today. (along with the Hobby King "Tiny OSD" and Naza GPS module)
The GPS works great (you could lay your tx on the ground and walk away with it engaged).
The tiny OSD seems to work pretty well too but think I may have it's GPS facing the wrong way after watching the video and seeing where it placed the flying object. The altitude reading seems pretty close on it since it showed 60 meters and we were guessing 200 feet. Voltage and amp readouts were pretty close too. I wouldn't want to rely on the video feed to fly by though. It's too in and out. Good thing I was still flying line of sight.
I'm going to pull the FPV off and try it in a foam glider to see if it a problem with it or just the way it's mounted on the quad.
I spent part of Friday and part of Saturday putting this little "blast from the past" together. This one had been in my closet for months and finally got bored enough with the long holday weekend to build it.
This is a wolf in sheep's clothing done up with the factory stickers instead of custom paint. Inside lives a HET 6904 and 3W with CC Phoenix 60 amp esc and air sally custom ducting.
The retired (RIP) airframe the power system came out of was good for about 125 mph on 4s 2200 ma.
I actually have a video of the one the motor and ducting came out of. It doesn't look as fast as it really is though. My buddy filming was a good couple hundred feet from the flight line and I was flying close to 200 feet high at times.
