    I would say that's pretty good for your first time. Cool video Thanks for sharing.

    How was the takeoff and landing on sand? I'm always worried about debris kicking up and getting into some place it shouldn't.

    Did you get any funny looks while flying there?

    I had about 10 people come up too me and ask questions. It was hard pack sand but I did not have any other option. I guess you could hold it and then take off?

    Some of those lenses would almost equal a year at a good University. Can't wait to see your boy flying his quad and shooting some good pictures.

    I hear ya. I've always thought about throwing a couple towels down then setting the quad on top of them. I don't think the sand would hurt it but it's better to be safe then sorry.

    Just saw this posted on FB. Look like someone brought the quadracopter to Pipeline and videoed a big break.
    Amazing video...
