About 4 months ago I asked questions about the Phantom quadcopters, where I could buy parts etc. I think iy was just after I'd been scammed by buying a P1 which had been swimming. Anyway many guys joined in and gave me plenty of help. One gentleman waited until things had quietened down and asked me if I'd be interested in one of his old P1's. How could I refuse, I had dreamed of owning a DJI for some time and this kind man named Dez from the coldest part of Canada, make such a generous offer.
However there was a problem, he'd forgotten about screwing longer bolts in the 4 motors after removing the prop guards, so it too needed 4 new motors. Then Dez made yet another offer, he would send me his old P2. They both arrived yesterday after almost 3 months, I had no idea how the sled team managed to make it to Australia, but it did. Now I have a P1 and P2 . The motors for the P1 are coming from a wrecked Kaiser Bass Delta Quad. Who would have guessed they have the same motors and ESCs as the P1?
This is something I never expected and it's not as if Dez is rolling in money, he's a battler like many of us. But to offer his two Phantoms shows just how kind and generous some people are, especially in today's world. People are more worried about themselves than others, but one gentleman way up near the North Pole proved otherwise. I just wanted to let the guys who chatted with me on that day to know that Dez stuck to his word and now my dream has been realised and tomorrow I'll be having a couple of test flights. I even found a Gimbal in the box he sent as a surprise. My old GoPro might not be 4k or anywhere near it, but the video will mean just as much. Thank You Dez and thanks to everyone else who showed me that dreams can come true. Now I just have to convince my Grandchildren that at 70 I'm not too old to be playing with quadcopters.
