Hubsan H502E First Flight

Finally got to take my Hubsan H502E quad-copter out for a spin. I was a bit nervous but, WOW, was it easy to fly! The GPS and auto altitude hold are a godsend because it gave me time to think without fooling with the throttle stick.

To shorten the video, I clipped out images from the grass field and other parts of the playground. I figured I would concentrate on the selfie parts of the video. Have to work on capturing some clips while the quad is hovering.... this video is kind of "jumpy" but, I felt it was a great first attempt. I do need to work on smoothing out my flying instead of jerking the controls.

I found this quad to be very quiet as I flew it around. I wasn't aggressive with it.... kept it low and at a reasonable distance. At one time, I flew RC airplanes and found it was a lot easier figuring out what direction they are pointed in. This quad-copter was a whole different story. Maybe my eyes are getting old but I was having trouble figuring out what direction it was pointed in. The biggest help with this was the red background around the camera lens. One of the LEDs is dead but I couldn't see the others anyway.

I purchased the H502E on Amazon for ~$80. Turns out that, at this time, this is the lowest cost quad equipped with a GPS. Something tells me others will follow suit.
