Can you legally use them in China? They might think you are a murcan spy and throw you in prison with people who have more than one child.

/unjerk i think what happened was since games were illegal at the time (not anymore)was customs opened it up and took it out. It's not like even if he took it he could buy 3ds games for it.

Buying shit online here is great..cheap shipping, sellers always throw in some free shit, etc.

Also shroom ur a fag

Tonk post a video u took with ur drone

Not sure about China, but here in San Diego you're only allowed to use them in designated public parks(and some beaches). Someone tried flying one around here once. The police were called and the drone was confiscated. I heard that they were supposedly fined also(not sure how much).

I have built several pro level quads and tricopters from scratch, and I'm a fairly experienced RC pilot.
My concern is how easily you can buy one that's fully capable of almost everything. The chinese are updating these at the pace I expected. This will be the Xmas of the drone for many.

1. Learn to pilot. A $3k drone aint shit if you can't fly.
2. Learn how to build one. You will crash, and need to rebuild. It's a matter of when and not IF.
3. Join the AMA if you plan to fly somewhere other than your backyard.
4. Don't fuk it up for everyone else. Payloads are pretty much the only thing that is illegal at the moment. Dont plan to drop anything, even a parachute man.


You can learn to fly with the cheap mini quads in your house. Get something like a CX-10. If you have to use "Headless-mode" to fly, then you are useless. Start slow. Don't try to zoom through trees.
