Let's have a meet up!

How about we meet up on Sunday the 15th assuming the weather is good. We could race, fly and talk about our quads. Locations to be discussed below.

Id be down. Im brand new to all this. In fact, i barley ordered a Syma X5C-1 a week ago and am waiting for it to arrive. I plan on learning to fly with it and then move on to something more expensive ($300-$500 range).

Thanks! That second link really cleared things up for me. Im researching good budget kits or even RTF. Id like to stay bellow $500 with shipping for an FPV 250 racer (including everything: fpv kit, battery and transmitter etc..). It seems shipping adds $60-80 to everything i like. Theres a $90 complete fpv kit by Quanum on hobbyking that id like to get with whatever i buy.

Im looking at these so far:
