When I feel like I'm good enough to go miles I am going to get a GPS system for it.  I have my eye on a UHF system that would let me preprogram a route and it would then fly unattended.

I have so many things I'd like to do... I'd like to build one using my Arduino stuff but on the other hand I'd like to buy a 350 QX2 as well.  I wish I would just hit the lottery or get a fat bonus!

The new controller board finally arrived today!  I replaced the old one and did some testing.  It flies again!

Then I loaded it with my transmitter and new camera and did a few lifts to see how it would do.  I need to make/buy a cloverleaf antenna for the TX.  The stock antenna is the heaviest item and without attaching it the 180 seems to do fine.  I will be interested to see how much the added weight decreases the battery life.

I'm sure it would if I let it but I'm avoiding water for now!

Fit floats and submerge the camera?
