    You're welcome! it's pretty fun flying around at night when it's calm. Whats cool is that these quad are quite for 4 motor craft.

    CHEERS!

    Any reason why a quad and not a tri? I put a lot into the pros and cons of each and went tri. Just wondering what your primary factors were in your choice.

    The HK board was just given to me :D to try out! BUT.......I have a tri on my table from quadframe waiting on motors and escs. :D it's ADDICTING!

    I did like the + config for night flight, it's better for orientation I think. I added straw cannons and more nav lights it looks so cool in the air. Cant wait for my tri electros to come in.

    HERE'S MY LATEST NIGHT FLIGHT!

    I will keep the + quad for night flying. Attached files [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]
