Hi, my name is David. Years ago, my now late sister gave me the nickname Brother Dave as I was searching for a computer alias. It stuck, partly because I am a “Bible totin’ Baptist”, and partly because I like it, lol.
I started flying drones with a little helicopter in the House, but kept crashing it when the air conditioning came on. I wanted something bigger, that could fight the wind outside, get some cool footage, and last more than 3 minutes after a 3 hour charge. That last part was harder to get than anything.
I bought a Syma X8C Drone, and flew it for 3 months, getting used to the controls and flight characteristics. Then one day, as I was videoing my pond, the wind caught it, and I lost connection. I watched it go out of sight. I never found it.
Thus began my Drone purchasing and repairing career, lol.
A monster is born!
