Hi Ted, PS. I looked at that kit you mentioned. Looks pretty cool. A little pricy for my budget though.
I am considering some kind of tricopter or quadcopter kit with brushless motors or maybe a ready to fly if I can find it. I've decided that I'd rather not have anything with the short lifespan of brushed motors (2 - 5 HOURS). I considered a bicopter (one less motor / esc) but they seem to have stability problems. A tri copter might work and would be more affordable than a quadcopter. I'm returning the Dromida Ominus even though I love flying it.
