I'm going with a Wizard 220. There are several variations on the market and several vendors, including US dealers like Grayson Hobby. I figured that I'd start with a relatively inexpensive RTF kit while I research a build to do. The Wizard has some decent reviews from what I could find.

Mavic owner with 60l’ish flights. I recently spent a few Saturday’s hanging with FPV’rs in DFW and watched severe crash after severe crash (without major defect). DJI owners might cringe at the frequency and sound of these quads hitting a tree or course element. ) I know that I did. One...

Hover and avoid each other was the game today.

There were over 70 drones in the air during two flights and no incidents. A few people had signal interference issues, but not severe enough to crash or ground them. The best part of this for me was seeing what everybody is flying and meeting a diverse group of pilots. You'll have to forgive the...

I bought this drone to do interesting things. This falls into that category. So many things could go wrong.... who wouldn't want to be there to witness that? If it goes as planned..... who wouldn't want to be there for that? Take risks, fail often.... limit repeating failures, but don't fear...
