I\u2019ve always loved RC Cars and the radio helicopters but now that video cameras are getting much smaller (see Hero 4) and copter parts are cheaper, I decided to grab something not too fancy to learn more about this hobby. There\u2019s also a group at my office who meets once a month with over 10 copters so I have a small support network to get my feet wet.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This is the Walkera Scout X4, one of the few copters that supports iOS devices (most support Android only and some Windows Tablets). I\u2019ll post more as I learn more about the equipment and plan upgrades. Note: i\u2019ve already ordered more landing gear and blades because this thing has a nice learning curve.\u00a0<\/p>\n
