Drozd Blackbird

Ha ha ha ha funny shit!!!! I have similiar but no ground station yet. Been messing around with micros mostly now. I have two fpv 160’s , an acro 200X ….. The lost bird was a brand new one that a distributor kinda fronted me to try out… I was on the fence but decided what the hell I will keep it and just started flying it in earnest the day before I lost it due to fly away. It was a complete bundled, setup and ready to fly outta the box Walkera 250 Runner Advanced….. If I only would have “locked” recv. to the xmtr it would have made it unable to bind to any other xmtr should someone else try and bind it or shoot me down. I might have been sabotaged!
Stupid Walkera VTX for US market only has like four channels that my stupid 5.8 recv. doesnt get… If I were receiving the video I would have seen where it landed and would have had all the blackbox data plus OSD info that was being transmitted in realtime. I dont know what happened? But i have a few suspicions that added up to a perfect storm. A good portion my own complacense…. Otherwise I was extremely impressed with the whole package right out of the box was setup very well. The guy that works for a local distributor wants to put together a team… I wasnt too excited about Walkera, but I am getting more excited. The runner advanced is a great all around general purpose racer that is setup very smooth but is a bit too tame for my preference. However what I have seen coming soon is very impressive and might be the one to race with. I think it is using a F4 board too and is not so proprietary. I think the prototype i have been priivy to is running betaflight. Anyways i got a big mouth!

Cough!!! Ack Ack Ack !
Whoa! That is indeed Cccccrazy!!!
Yup dont sell unless the price is right. That one listed at $775 isnt yours is it? Did ya see that one guy had a feedback score of 67% and claims it is brand new yet has no pictures and wants almost 1K!
It wasnt too much difficulty for me to accept those kinda prices for a air rifle and the sticker shock didnt bother me so much. Especially when ya consider the value in a Marauder, an Airforce, Hatsan or Sam Yang type guns or the Hand Crafted skill of a Dac or Haley but a …. BBgun? Sure it shoots full auto but still? Maybe if it was pellet and less plastic… I dunno its a tough one to swallow. There are other FA BB guns. The plastic P.O.S. Umarex Steel Storm actually seems more accurate than the Drodz. It just doesnt last long and falls apart. There was some experimentation going on with the EBOS , I think they made a prototype board with input from Sergey… There has to be a quality less expensive alternative! Maybe conversion of a blowback airsoft might be the ticket. Certainly have many options with the airsoft conversions. But fps with steel? Ya ever shoot lead outta yours?
I have a couple of the mini uzi replica pistols in full auto. They work very well and very realistic too. If it wasnt for the fact that it isnt spitting out brass, it could certainly fool ya. Just not the FPS though…. Barely 400 fps on a very good day and only 25 round mags. The Steel Storm will make up to and almost 600-670fps on hpa before breaking things and falling apart. Damn just thinking i should go get my boxes of parts and build something….. Oh hell no! I have too many irons in the fire now! Doh!!!!
So whats your newest latest greatest thing?
Mines been multicopters or drones…. Racing Drones! I lost a $400.00 one the other day. It took off and landed somewhere on the next block. Someone has it and kept… It had my info on it. One neighbor knows but just being a dick! Ok finders keepers asshole! Its all good! Huh?

If you ebay dont forget to put a minimum or reserve price!!!!!

Yeah, I dont really know. I think that theyre very cool but not totally worth all that. It seems you used to see fully loaded with sergey board , barrel w/ barrel shroud, bb centering mod and all the other goodies fully loaded at around $750.00
That was after somone else likely dumped $1000 with Ray at DrodzMax. If you really shopped it well and would sit tight you could find the person sitting on it that price and might finally let it go at $500.00
Seems that you would never get what ya put into them if bought brand new and put all the goodies into it. However Ray sold most of them fully loaded, and to many purchasers they were just an uber expensive novelty. I think that might be why you dont see alot for sale because people rather keep them the take that kind of hit!
I dont know what the market is like right now… It seems that $550 is likely a nice price. Still more than I would want to spend right now! But i dont represent jackshit! I wouldnt sell it for less than $550.00
I’d say try for $750 or whatever top digit you want and see. Ya know that $550 showed promise. It looks very clean. What goodies are included with yours? Ya got HPA that is a big plus!
Bottom line I dont know. I am sure that Ray probably has inquiries and could probably steer it your way.
If you want to donate it to me for a ridulously lowball price put me to the front of the line! I think xmas has left me with 3 bills in my pocket but thats going fast!
I think you should put big price and just throw it out there….

Note: that there are several different auto boards….
The premium board is the Sergey Board.
Also lots of premium mods and tunes….
