I can't leave these copters alone - here's my latest build - "Lunar Lander 4"
Looks kind of spacy. It sports a CC (OpenPilot) and Suppo A2212-11 - 1200kv Outrunner Motor -- 8x4.5 props and nano-tech 3.0 Lipo. Maiden coming as soon as rain stops.

Short test flight at the coast with xRotor Sport Quad w KK2+GoPro
Pleased with the video. Pretty stable in HiDef w slight wind. The fog bank in the distance came in rather quickly and this is the only video this trip.

Here's my 2nd flight of xRotor Sport Quad. It's real friendly to a novice. If I get in trouble I just let off sticks and she stabilzes right away. This is the KK2 in auto level mode. Two clown thumbs up!!

xRotor Spider Quad - 2nd flight (1 min 34 sec)

Wow! Really havin fun with this one. She's only half lit with leds
( waiting for defective blue & white strips to arrive) but she's real flyable.
Happy with BlueSky products. CC board needs a few tweaks and CopterPilot needs many more hours of flight practice

This is the wiring harness "Octopus Style" for flexible LED strips.
Install went well except . . . of the three colors I was to install, only the red strip worked. Pictures will come after replacements arrive.
