RE: Draganfly iv. Anyone flew it?Control?

Hey Scott, I got an RC 4WD truck. I ran it around the snow a bit, but it just seems to be missing something. I'll check the manual again, but so far I don't think I know how to get it off the ground...

Yes, IMHO that's DF rule #2
Rule #1 is "Takeoffs are optional."

Don't forget, part of our DF duty is also to support the the hungry families of all those people who make DF parts :D :D

It's a "replacement" plate I bought from RC toys a while ago, the eyecam extreme I got maybe two months ago or so, the receiver is anodized alum with dip switches. The extreme cams from RC toys have...
