Since I've now been a member here for a couple of minutes, I thought I should introduce myself.
I've flown 3ch and - not very successfully 4ch - helis, but loved quads since the first one I saw.
I've just had to buy my Ex out of my house, so thought I'd give myself a divorce present to take her place, and bought myself a CF Phantom 2 with FPV, H3 3D Gimbal, Go Pro Hero 4 Black, 3 batteries and carry case etc all as a package deal from Michael at Just Hobbies in Campbelltown in Sydney. Drove up from Canberra to get it, as the hobby shops in Canberra seem to think quads are a novelty and don't take them seriously.
After all the family duties were done on Christmas Morning, I had the afternoon free so took the quad for its first ever flight (well, a 1 minute hover in the backyard was strictly speaking the FIRST flight, but it didn't really count to me).
Here's the video if anyone is interested. Don't worry if you have sound on, the wind and blade noise gets replaced with music after a few seconds.
