Anybody here have a Quadcopter?

[YourEverydayWaffle]

Just wondering if anybody here actually owns a quadcopter. I do. It's homebuilt, w/ FPV (First Person Viewer and a rickety homemade camera gimbal. I use a KK2.1 board for anybody here who might have one too. Anybody else besides me own one?

Any pictures?

Yup. These were taken 2 or 3 weeks ago.

This is a shot of the FPV setup, which allows me to fly the quadcopter while also seeing from the perspective of an onboard camera with a 900 MHz downlink. IT really helps when it's far away or in a tough spot to see, because when you're flying, you HAVE to know what direction it is facing, otherwise you've VERY likely going to crash it. Nice view of a field I fly in a lot.

Are Quadcopters hard to fly? I only have RC Plane experience, however

Heck yes. It's ridiculous how hard it was the first time. But I think playing games like KSP involving quick responses sort of helps with hardwiring control like with the quadcopter. When you have 8 different directional controls, it's tough. I'm sure RC planes are tilough in their own ways too.

I have a plane.

I get scared flying it, and it doesn't have Jeb to save it, so I only had about 4 minutes in total flight time since I bought it... In 2011.
