Yes, I agree. He has done some great work

Aaaand I've lost my quadcopters. I wanted to make the range extending hack to my transmitter, but failed. Never let a programmer anywhere near a soldering iron!
The replacement transmitter is on the way, but it will take about a month to get here

[NiLSPACE]

Awww, that sucks

Well its better then the fun thing i have..
Parrot Rolling Spider
Running it inside it bumps against the ceiling but meh,
Then i was like go outside!

Its suppose to hang around a set value of height 2-10meters
had it set to the minimum height, but due to a fun bug it has, it just took off. i was lucky though cause the wind kept it from going to high,
Flew over some buildings then a gust of wind blew it from the side of the builder roof, then it landed into a tree cause the battery kinda died.
Got it back, put in new battery and it kept doing that, luckly it has a emergency button to fully shut it down.. but kinda useless.

Seems it somehow thinks its in the ground and go's crazy trying to get out of it.
Got 4 battery's filled and its just in a corner of my room cause i cant really use it without it going crazy right away.
Bad soldering, so i might fix it sometime myself.. but i might screw up and have to replace it fully :/.

Sounds like you got a defective one, perhaps try to have it exchanged for a better working one?

Here's the last video I recorded. Notice the beautiful drop-crash
Turn down your volume, it gets really loud at the end.

I'm surprised it just crashes once it loses signal. I'd think there'd be some safety guard that will make it slowly return to the ground if it doesn't have a signal.

Hurray! Lets go to 10000.

That was back in 2014, Looks like we'll get there rather soon We're about 60 commits off.

Well,
It is indeed defective, but it seems they pretty much all have the defect as tons and tons of people are complaining about it so sending it back... useless.
