And you're right...my dog goes crazy. She tries to grab it when I crash land.

Something tells me that a larger, GPS stabilized version would be somewhat easier to fly. Especially with a different radio where you can set up your rates of input. My dog actually grabbed it on Sunday and now one of the motors isn't working correctly. Amazon prime to the rescue, new motor was just delivered.

My buddy and I both have 550s and a few Phantoms and we tried to get some interesting angles of us shooting the other day. Unfortunately, due to stupidity, none of the GoPros that were "recording" actually had a memory card in them. So much for that idea... The tannerite shot would have been pretty cool from about 20 feet away too...

Until this past weekend i hadn't taken it out side. After i did, i'm much more confident with it. Was having issues landing on counter tops at first, now i'm landing on iPads and flying under coffee tables.
I wonder if all my instinct will be gone for fixed wing flight??
