I saw a clip on Lilly the other day, but it didn't mention anything about price (that generally means it could be pretty exy) does anyone know what they cost?

I nearly bought one of these a few weeks ago late one night. They looked like a reasonable value for money RTF thing for someone who knew nothing about building your own one up.Quote:

They are a lot of fun to flymand as mentioned the regs are a bit of a great area. I have a TBS Discovery Pro which is a brilliant quad copter. I bought the simulator with it so that you can practice flying it via your laptop and the RC unit.
The flight controller in it has all of the failsafes, fly home, geo-fence etc and quite stable even on windy days. Can even switch between the flight camera and the go-pro when flying to get different views if you want..
One thing to think about is if you by one of the rtf all-in-one drones and you like it, your pretty much starting again if you want to upgrade. Where if you buy a higher end, component based one (which in many cases you can get RTF), you can always update components (I.e video tx/rx, motors, props, flight controller, air frame etc) along the way if the bug bites.
Although these days I don't get time to fly it so its been sitting in its pelican case doing nothing lol probably time to sell it and put the money into the shorty turbo fund..just don't like to think of what its actually worth versus how much it cost me 😨
So just got home from a trip to Crowdy Head. Also happen to have a drone and here is some of the photos I took with it.

Just watched mates videos across cape York sites and it was awesome.
@ Hodge I think you could get some awesome pics.
I want one to fly out over the Murray and take a pic looking back at camp.
Or just to take your line right out [somehow}
