Just saw a news items about drones. There is some kind of exhibition
in town with 40 exhibitors and 200 delegates.
If a person was interested in one of the toys it might be worth the
price of admission.

Flying RC airplanes is, IMHO, fun. I've flown the multirotors, but
don't get a kick
out of it. Except for small ones for the grandkids, I'd not be
interested in buying
one. And, I've found that flying a helicopter and then flying an
airplane pose a
problem. 'Up' for a helicopter is 'down' for an airplane using the
transmitter
controls. That can get interesting.

Hold one or the other controller upside down. :-)



Or reverse that controller. Many have a switch for that.

Most likely. Setting up a transmitter is complex as hell.

That is 'Part 1' of a three part video on how to set up the transmitter I've got.
