Hey, don't laugh, it works pretty well.

There you go. I would like to have gotten a pumpkin, but I liked that $50 cheaper price, plus the $100 off for the open box unit. The white ones are easier to decorate also, IMHO.

If I can run across some better material, I may make something better. Right now, it's just card stock spray painted flat black, but it does the trick. I've got some cheap VR goggles coming from ebay, I'm gonna put my phone in them and see how that works. Since they are really intended for mostly 3D stuff, it may not work, but it's worth a shot.

Yep. I've had her for eight days now; lots of flying around the manistee forest, and Muskegon river here in Michigan. The last few days it's been cold and raining/snowing. So last night I put the stickers on, and I have black props and orange battery along with orange landing gear coming on Monday. I think they lowered the price on the whites because everyone is buying the orange, but I'm just madly in love whith this white drone.

I do want to get the decale for the top middle off eBay that has my name/phone number and stuff on it. I did a lot of research, and it was ether the X Star or Phantom. This is my first drone, and so far I'm very pleased.

I used black poster board from office max 6 sheets for $6. You can make two tablet shields per board.

I left just enough space to get my fingers in, but could have been more. I need to do some more tinkering.

My bad... sorry! The "Old" and the "O" blended together. It was late - past my bedtime. No pun intended!
