Great setup! And a great price too.

Thanks. I know the "no shipping" option greatly restricts the potential number of buyers. But the drone case is huge and insurance for at least $7k would be astronomical. USPS insurance is limited to $5,000. When I shipped a small package via UPS and insured it for $1500, it cost me almost $100. I can't imagine what this would cost as shipping costs seem to increase exponentially once you get into thousands of dollars.

If no one local wants it or anyone remote is unwilling to come get it, I'm happy to keep it. I charged all the batteries 2 days ago and flew it .... and realized again how sweet the setup is. I'll just tell the wife nobody wanted to buy it.
