I have a new 330x quad which usually works, If I follow directions from a forum writer. If I am not reading these instructions the Guai goes upside down tumbles across my parking lot - flinging cheap Lego wheels in all directions. But it flies pretty good when it is upright. Read destructions every time. Every time. The quad knows when you are trying to remember and it wants you to read.

But I want to fly FPV. I'm looking into 5.8 in the 200mw area. A diversity reciever sounds like a good investment. Return to home is a must and so is osd. someone out there has the bad experience with this setup that I don't want to learn on my own. I'm a pizza guy. This stuff is really expensive and I will spend every last dollar to my name, soon, on this camera drone.

I don't want buyer's remorse. I am a dumb noob. Please advise. Many thanks - Isaac.

Hi Isaac, your a funny guy Smile
What do you use to control the Gaui right now/what frequency?
The rx is Spectrum ar6100e, salvaged from Blade SR.

I'm also not sure how to figure out what is legal here or where I can fly.

Hi Isaac, There are many discussions to find about what frequency is legal where you are. Your receiver should be fine as you wont be flying very far away with the Gaui.I like 72mhz for FPV myself.As for video I am using 1.2ghz in Idaho. Find a big open field away from trees and buildings to fly.Be sure to take a spotter with you to keep an eye on your plane.
