My wife and 2 month old daughter were present.
It's a mean looking quadrotor. Wish it would've gone better...

so what is the flight time on a full charge with yours and others? 4 motors i would think would suck a battery dry in no time.

I'm at about 12 minutes with these smaller propellers.
Once I get my larger propellers with more lift, I predict I'll see 15 minutes.

nice work! i only get around 8-9 minutes with my beast of a re-built aeroquad cyclone with a 4S 5AH battery, but the thing has enough lift it could make off with smaller annoying neighbor's pets. what's that? no, the thought never crossed my mind!
