Just recently I started a build on a DIY Brushless drone.. it's coming together slowly and I'm building it with used eBay/Craigslist parts and gonna be buying a new flight controller (not sure which.. still researching. Will have GPS and such).
Anyway I got me some of what they call "toy-grade quads" to learn the ropes and I must say they are tons of fun. I will have some awesome pics soon once I'm done upgrading the cams on my X8.
I have purchased the Syma X5SW and the Syma X8, they're very affordable and we'll worth it. Plus they're very simple and cheap to repair, great for us DIY geeks. I would recommend picking one up if you are interested in flying on a budget! Plus they can both be had for under 100$ with FPV (first person view).
Will post some pics soon of my X5 and the mods I've done, let me know if your flying! I really want to go crazy on the brushless build with some insane XHP70 led spotlight and some colored COB stuff to.
