    I guess us English agree on one thing. Righty Tighty. (Unless of course the torque is clockwise).
    You are so awesome, Julian! Thank You again for your guidance through the Breadboard Arduino. I had success!!
    Also the mini displays. (ALICE1101983). OLEDS. AND the LED Rings. So Bright!! (I did discover the parameter to adjust that in the sketch. Default; very bright. (99). Nominal (about 01); acceptable. I thought 50 would be dim. Those things (Rings) are powerful!

    Julian you now need to buy a lightweight camera to put on the bottom of this, buy one that provides a live feed to a screen from where you are so you can fly it remotely from hundreds of metres away without having to physically see the copter.

    Then make a video of it. Fly it high and around your area and record.

    +Julian Ilett, great review. I have an HMX280 on the way. You mentioned flight time to be 12-15 minutes? Is that accurate? The main complaint I've read about the 280 is it's abysmally short flight time. Most are saying 4-6 minutes. Thanks for your reply.

    Great vid, what is a good receiver to fit on this with no modding for changing the esc's.Want to buy bnf version to fly it with a devo.

    Good video, I have the HMX280 also. So how do you learn to fly with it facing in other directions ? I'm the same, it doesn't feel easy but I want to learn.

    A jst plug feels kinda wrong on a quadcopter, i wouldnt really trust it.
    That charger is a so called equalizer, with individual charging for each cell.
