Yuneec q500+   here.   It's been a  real  hoot.   Glad I did it.

I see they are down to  $999   for that model with hard case. http://carolinadronz.com/collections/multirotors/products/yuneec-q500-typhoon-with-2-batteries-improved-lens-case 

Neat thing about the  internet,  is    there is  tons of support, even for the   'Plymouth'  of the  brands..   Sure,   Chevy sold a lot more cars,  but  so what?  

Yuneec  CS  has  always  picked up the phone, and  answered  every one of my  questions  via email

Yuneec is  coming out with   a new  Hexcopter, (still called  a  'Typhoon' )   in a month or so,  with   360 degree   camera.    It's slated to  be  in the $1300  range,   a  LOT more   speed and range.

I look to see the  'old' models  to  drop even more in the next  month or so.
