As far as the 3D printer, everything is about time, or lack thereof....
I do have to have time away from helicopters on occasion... Lol!

Agreed! ....that other FC does take some effort to setup and program, but I've found newbies to rotary-winged aircraft don't stay newbies for long and soon want to do more with their craft. Not dissing DJI in any way mind you!

Not a Bergen quality machine by any means, just an "el-cheapo" airframe that I'm using as my UAV test bed. Experimenting with the limits of Arducopter APM 2.6 and of course experimenting with 3D printed mods like my fully printed 2-axis Mobius Camera Gimbal https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:568221 among other stuff. Here's a short video of the first fully autonomous test flight on this little machine, of course I'm pushing some limits like the autonomous low-pass over the runway. But, surprisingly, she handled it very well.
BTW it's Trinidad Carnival here, and since I'm not into that anymore, it's a wonderful 4-day flying weekend here! ...and on a side note, you can see the Geo-textile stuff we used to surface our runway only lasted two years in our tropical climate. We're now gathering funds for an asphalted strip (36 x 400ft) hopefully to be completed this quarter. http://youtu.be/D_3eRhrEUSY?list=UUw...iEjkzmUknfia7w
