107? :
NO
Why???
Mainly, because of this:
After I saw that, I thought "maybe I should become a drone pilot"?
I quit smoking in January of 2015 so there was my budget.
Valentines day I got a Syma X5C clone.
Got the rest of the mentioned Syma fleet between that and October where I built my first 450 quad drone.
And by 1 year later, I got this with the home made:
By March 2016 I built the 550 Hex.
December of 2016, I built a Tarot 680pro hex
Around April of 2017, I could finally "see" what i was videoing with FPV.
And played around with a 6S 500 upswept arm quad that summer.
September, I missed a shot because my compass refused to calibrate.
My wife and i talked about it and I got my first DJI Spark flymore package.
Seeing as I had tons of spare parts for my home made drones to elf repair but nothing for the Spark, My wife suggested for me to purchase another Spark for a backup and showed me some good deals on QVC
Same happened with the Mavic Air when I decided to upgrade.
Since my time as a sUAV pilot, I have captured landscapes, sunrise/ sunset scenery, landmarks, historical floods and the Presidential Funeral Train.
Where I go next, no idea...
