I found something affordable - I am gonna get this before I get a gas powered heli.

Hopefully, I can at least learn the skills needed for a more expensive one I can attach a HD camera to.
At least if I break it - it won't be a $1,500 part I have to replace
lol. problem is - its transmitter is susceptible to interference. If some kid nearby is playing with his RC monster truck, it will screw up yours unless you're doing it in middle of nowhere.
I finally got one
and then I wrecked it
took 3 hours to fix it.
I have been looking for lightweight HD cameras and came across this product - I want to know more about it - so far it looks awesome:
