Indeed. Animal cruelty is no joking matter. Who will look after the orphaned slugs/snails now?
. The slug probably didn't agree :/

Am I the only one who encountered an advert before the first video started playing? Does that mean the OP is gaining money from us watching his video?

Brilliant first post.
And a great video, hope there is more to follow.
Always like these Quadcopters, easy to builld, just a quick google, I see there are several shops in the UK that sells the bits.
A ST450 Folding Aluminium Quadcopter 18" Frame for £29.95p.

Also quite a bit on Ebay under Quadcopter, Multicopter, etc.

Oh!
First post, & welcome.
Can you edit falling video & remove the audio or bleep out the swearing.

Mine goes stupidly high, has a power to weight ratio of three. Though it's not advisable to fly through clouds due to moisture.
The world record is 80km flight and I think the altitude record is about 8000 ft.
As far as I know, only for commercial use it is forbidden. There is a UK FPV lobby group now which means we are in a pretty secure position.

Yeah? Well will it go into SPACE???
Good stuff; D
I need a quadcooter now, my 3.5 channel chopper won't fly with a paoerclip attached!

Camera on the sgs2 is impressive.

I need a quadrotor now and I'd never heard of them before reading this thread today.

Omg not quadcooter!
Mission accomplished! Seriously, hello everybody
Sorry for not doing a formal introduction, I did start one in the right section but it's not easy writing an introduction and I think I got distracted. Anyway, glad you all like the video - and to this day, the phone doesn't seem to have any problems and the quad has flown since. There's a new firmware on there and wind handling is much better.
To all those interested, you can now buy an outdoor quad with motors, esc, and frame for £100 or build one sometimes cheaper. There's loads of options out there because being a relatively new form of RC, there's loads of connectors boards out there. Fun though.
I don't know exactly how high it flies... need to get a barometer (or an SIII attached) and record more accurate heights. I would say 100m .. maybe more? It's only legal to fly to 400ft in the UK I believe, at least, in parks, etc.
Ever since I got this quad, I've become hooked so here's the warning:
*** If you have an addictive personality and/or and like cool flying things that make cool whooshing noises when coming down to Earth - GO AWAY FROM THIS THREAD! ***
If anyone else has some overclockersUK stickers, I'd love to make it fly
I can confirm this is not a hobby for addictive personalities.Mission accomplished! Seriously, hello everybody

I have spoken to a couple of others with these, they are hard to fly without good spacial awareness.
