There is an offer on Banggood for my one which is the HGLRC-145mm, if you have a Taranis TX grab a XM+ receiver.
Iāve done my bit of tempting you

I think I need to keep the pennies until the MP2 is released to decide if Iāll spend a few months living on bread and water whilst I save for one. 
I get the urge to fly faster so flick the switch for sport mode then sensibly my head says flick it the other way lol! Iām new to flying drones so like you I think a mavic pro is a lot of cash to smash! I have fun on my bike when Iāve had any urges to go fast and Iām better on it lol! Well at the moment

I HAD an eMax Nighthawk 280 until last week. I got it for Xmas 2016 thinking Iād have loads of fun with it. Long story short, flew it straight into a tree on itās maiden flight and broke the props and it sat in the spare room until last week. I even bought some FPV googles last year sometime with the intention of getting it back in the air. Well that day finally arrived last week, having gotten the drone bug again with the MA. Quick flight test and Iāll spare details but I lost it 
Looked everywhere it could have crashed but no sign of it
So, I bought a Wizard x220 RTF from Bang Good over the weekend and I canāt wait for it to arrive and get my speed fix 
Iāve been using velocidrone on PC for last few days practicing.
Iām not going to fly until Iām used to rate mode again.
Was tempted to just fly it angle mode but kind of defeats the purpose.
Really happy with velocidrone. You can setup PID and rates on a screen almost identical to betaflight.
Iām new to this so good practice being able to make adjustments and see how it reacts without flying/crashing.
Well I couldnāt resist a quick try in garden.
Hovered around and tried punching the throttle. Astounded how high it ended up in, I struggled to bring it back in. Itās bloody fast.
Got a bit cocky and it started drifting, overcorrected and it took off other way in blink of an eye and hit house.
No damage but think Iāll need to wait for a more open space.

Actually, the odds would have been appalling! LOL!

Iāve only got 2 1300mah 4s batteries.
Wondering if I could strap a 3s 4000mah on it just for practicing LOS.
Anyone know?
Mateā¦
Imagine if that was the MP?
Youād be facing a bill of about Ā£600 quid!!!
Tough little machine, Iām impressed 
Yeah easily. It hit house spun 90deg and scraped down wall with the props going. Took me a few seconds to realise I had to disarm it.
Mavic would have been absolutely wrecked for sure.
Think I need to turn down the rates, itās obviously setup for someone who can actually fly it.

I see yours is hard core eating your house like thatā¦
Took a look at the setup on betaflight and itās already been tamed. Think im just rubbish at flying

Quite a few crashes today. Got some FPV goggles as well.
Definitely not for people who like to keep their toys nice and shiny.
Just need to work up to flying as fast as with Mavic lol.
And thatās not even Sport mode!

Perhaps the thread title should be changed to āUrge to fly more expensively!ā?

Give it a week and it might be āUrge to fly more leisurelyā.
