    Thanks Lee. Will definitely take your advice. By the way, do you happen to know of any local drone communities? Interested to see the creativity exercised here in Malaysia with regards to drones haha

    Good point. Don't think weight would be an issue for me either. Would you happen to know how much it affects flight time and performance, though?
