tradeing in my plank for a quad

[Elios000]

so im going to sell my plank and thinking of getting a quad
i was looking at the Flamehwee450 and a Naza since its every thing in 2 boxes

any thing in that price range i should give a look at
looking to spend around $450 all up i have 3S 2200mAh and 3200mAh packs for other stuff already

i want some thing with the same features as the Naza with out the GPS more is better etc and i like to keep to a quad so i can still toss it around

the idea is strap the cam i have now to it for AP and use it for a night flyer till i can buy the stuff for FPV

Have you flown a quad before?

[Elios000]

Phoenix has the Guai one and i have flown a friends mQX and wasnt any harder then a fixed pitch single rotor heli :p
the plank is some thing i have will i waited for packs to charge but i have a better changing setup now and im going more heli only

mostly want it for night flying and fpv later on

Here is basically a clone version of the FlameWheel, an inexpensive and fun way to dip your toe in the water. A friend (a newb) and I built this a couple of weeks ago. Just got it tweaked out this weekend, flies nicley, especially for the money.

huh thats not bad
does that control unit have same stuff as the Naza ie the alt hold and can a GPS be added later
the idea is to up grade it to a FPV rig over time
even with the Naza thats not bad

any one know how the programing is with the Naza compared to say a Vbar?

[bstanley72]

The control board I linked above does not have altitude hold or gps, it does have auto stabilization. However, keep in mind it's $30.

The computer set up on the NAZA is pretty straight forward. I can only compare it to the sk720 set up, they are similar.
