DRONES!

      Have a look at my drone prior to the rebuild.  This was after its first big flight.  I was able to fly it for a total of about 20 minutes of air time.  All three of my batteries drained, and it was a lot of fun.  I flew it at outside of work and attracted a bit of a crowd.  I'm not comfortable enough flying first person view (FPV) with a bunch of people (obstacles) around so it was mostly line of site.  I did let them look through my goggles which everyone seemed to enjoy. Since the flight I've gotten some extra parts so I will be putting on a better camera and some new antennae for the FPV signal.
   
 Take Aways

• Need more batteries.  This was the limiting factor in how long I was able to fly.  Its a 3s battery so it shouldn't be too hard to find some more.  Charging will be a pain so I should probably look into a better way to charge them.
• Need more propellers.  I stared out with 16 and I'm down to 6.  I need to find a place to buy in bulk.
• FPV screen.  I get stupid when I put on the goggles.  My control goes and it is surprisingly hard to keep track of where it crashes.  I hope a screen will give me the experience I need to actually gain skill without crashing as much.  Also the signal isn't particularly stable so a better antenna would be helpful.
