New flight controller

After shelving the quad for a few months due to a faulty kk2.1 flight controller, I'm upgrading that Shit so it will fly again! I bought a Naza M Lite, this is now my second Naza flight controller.... The first one was smashed in pieces when it went out of range with the old FM transmitter build. Didn't really want to buy another since the board is not made that well(trashed after 1 crash), but it mildly affordable and the best flying controller I can find. Going to take her out for a spin tomorrow!

Quad Maiden Flight

Took the quad to the park after repeatedly running the quad into my walls. The first flight went great, flew in a few circles, kept it in the air for 3-4 minutes then landed smoothly with just a few bounces on the legs. After the first success I pushed the quad higher and that's when everything went downhill. The quad went out of range and I lost control, then a wind gust pushed it even further away from me. Not really sure why the next thing happened but after a few mins the quad lost control and crashed onto the only asphalt in sight, and of course landed upside down on the most expensive component, the flight controller...

Quadcopter Build

Starting a low budget quadcopter build. Trying to keep this close to $100 total, but that might easily double. Bought a kit on eBay for 79.99, this came with the frame, escs, motors, props, and misc hardware. Then I bought a kk v5.5 flight controller for $10. Pics below....
