After a few weeks of practice finally got an SD card to record flights. Bit windy today and that makes it really difficult to control. Hopefully the next video will be more interesting. (And stable.)

The hack is to install an nRF24L01+ module for hardware (see on top/right with all the colored thin wires going to it), install 'Deviation' open source firmware and some 'model files' for each of the quads or helis that you want to control. I have model files configured for all my quads: H8 mini, H7, syma x5c, hubsan x4, cheerson cx10 (most use the nRF module but some need the A7105 module (not shown, but installed in similar fashion).
The devo 7e is about $50 and has quite good gimbals and front controls. And, this one transmitter can replace all the custom 'rtf' (ready to fly) kits that force you to buy a transmitter when all you really wanted was the quad ;)

Ordered a Spark from DJI during their Thanksgiving Black Friday sale in November 2017. For now, I ordered the "base" quadcopter with the idea of flying it with the GO4 app on my iPhone 8+. I initially ordered an extra battery.
This video covers my initial flights. I recorded ALL of the two flights I made that day so I had some editing to do. I also set up my action camera and just let it record me and the landing area.
For now, the GO4 app has been set to "Beginner Mode" which limits flights to 100' high and 100' away. Controls also respond slower. Perfectly fine with me as I am not one to fly out of sight.
My first quadcopter experience happened several months ago when I purchased a Hubsan H502e. I loved it but constant motor failures left me without the confidence to go far or high with it. The un-gimbaled camera was also a negative. I got rid of it and waited for a price drop on the DJI Spark.
Somewhere along the way, I will be adding the controller.
Background music is "Free Range" from Forepaly's album "Yes Please".
The take off, landing, and closing comments sections were recorded with a SJCAM SJ5000x Elite action camera.

Finally got to take my Hubsan H502E quad-copter out for a spin. I was a bit nervous but, WOW, was it easy to fly! The GPS and auto altitude hold are a godsend because it gave me time to think without fooling with the throttle stick.
To shorten the video, I clipped out images from the grass field and other parts of the playground. I figured I would concentrate on the selfie parts of the video. Have to work on capturing some clips while the quad is hovering.... this video is kind of "jumpy" but, I felt it was a great first attempt. I do need to work on smoothing out my flying instead of jerking the controls.
I found this quad to be very quiet as I flew it around. I wasn't aggressive with it.... kept it low and at a reasonable distance. At one time, I flew RC airplanes and found it was a lot easier figuring out what direction they are pointed in. This quad-copter was a whole different story. Maybe my eyes are getting old but I was having trouble figuring out what direction it was pointed in. The biggest help with this was the red background around the camera lens. One of the LEDs is dead but I couldn't see the others anyway.
I purchased the H502E on Amazon for ~$80. Turns out that, at this time, this is the lowest cost quad equipped with a GPS. Something tells me others will follow suit.

Microchip announced the extension of its USB2 Controller Hub (UCH2) portfolio with the new automotive-grade, 4-port, USB84604 IC. Featuring FlexConnect technology and an upstream port that supports both USB2.0 and High Speed Interchip (HSIC) connectivity, the new USB84604 UCH2 is ideal for automotive infotainment system designs, where USB port expansion and connectivity is needed. Meeting the desire of consumers for a “connected vehicle,” Microchip’s FlexConnect technology allows for easy port reversals or “role swapping.” The USB84604’s downstream port 1 is able to swap with the upstream host port, thus transferring the host capability to the product connected to the UCH2, such as smartphones and tablets. This unique capability allows for the smartphone ecosystem of software and applications to be connected to the automobile infotainment system.

tl;dr: Consider using something else to charge your batteries.
This is the printed circuit board of a Hubsan H107-A06 USB charger. It is designed to charge the battery of a Hubsan X4 H107 mini quadcopter from a USB port.
The battery is a single cell 3.7V 240mAh LiPo battery in pouch cell format (Partnumber H107-A05).
Several people habe reported that their batteries don't last long using this charger. It's even worse with 3rd party batteries, which might swell after only a few charge cycles.
LiPo / Li-ion batteries should be charged by a multi-step process, which is usually ensured by a designated charge chip.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium-ion_battery#Charge_and_disc...
Many chargers feature an additional step with lower charge current if the battery voltage is too low, to get it back to normal voltage safely.
For a normal 3.7V cell the charge voltage should not exceed 4.2V.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium-ion_battery#Specifications
Even if it is not visible, a pouch cell includes a small circuit which makes the cell safer. One feature is to make sure that no voltage too high or too low gets to the battery cell to keep it from exploding or catching fire.

This "charger" is a single sided board, so there is nothing on the other side. There is no charge IC. The charge current is limited by a combination of a diode and a resistor. The diode lowers the USB voltage down to approx. 4.6V while current is flowing. It also prevents the battery from powering the USB port if USB is not plugged in or the PC is off. However, it does not prevent the battery from getting drained by the 220ohm resistor in the LED circuit if USB is not plugged in.
The 2ohm resistor then limits the charge current to 500mA when the battery is discharged to 3.6V.
If the battery voltage is lower than that, the current might exceed 500mA. This is also the exact opposite of what a good charger would do (reduce current when battery voltage is very low).
This thing never switches the output voltage off, which will go as high as the USB voltage (5V) when the current is near zero. A real charger makes sure that the voltage does not go above 4.2V.
Why does the LED switch off when charging is complete? Because the safety circuit in the battery disconnects the battery when the voltage gets too high. Then the output voltage of the charger goes up to 5V and this is sensed by the LED circuit. So this thing relies on the "avoid explosion of battery" safety circuit as regular end-of-charge condition.
This makes me cringe a bit.
Maybe Hubsan uses a special battery chemistry which can handle higher charge voltages. The last time I used this charger I measured 4.3V at the battery terminals of an original Hubsan battery before I unplugged it manually. And maybe the safety circuit in the Hubsan battery is special and switches off as precise as a charge IC would do and is matched with the special battery. In this case charging might work without killing the battery soon.
Anyway, don't connect any other batteries to this "charger". It is not a cool cheap universal 1S LiPo charger.
I personally will not use this thing again, even for original Hubsan batteries.
Added bonus: red wire used for negative battery terminal.
