Grabbed this at the hobby shop today. Flew around inside the house tonight. It flys excellent and stable. I see it being a hoot outside!

This one is under 8.8 ounces rtf. No need.Doug B said:Make sure you have your FAA registration number on your DRONE. :|
Didn't want a race quad, or an FPV setup. Got what I wanted.... Just sayin.A.D.3D said:Another 50 bucks would have gotten you a full on 250 race quad with a damn good flight control board, another hundred could get you a decent fpv system...just sayin...

Care to post these $150 and $250 quads?A.D.3D said:Another 50 bucks would have gotten you a full on 250 race quad with a damn good flight control board, another hundred could get you a decent fpv system...just sayin...
This will be the only quad I purchase. More into helis and slabs. I do appreciate the concern for wasted money, but I was into finding a rtf (simple) small quad that I could buzz around the house, and possibly during fuel stops etc at work. I won't get into aerobatics with it like I do with my other stuff.A.D.3D said:have you ever flown a race or acro quad? I am just trying to help people not waste money trying to get into multirotors when a few more bucks can get you something that is fully programmable and flies 10x better (literally 10x better, the control loop on a $15-20 board will loop a minimum of 10x more per second than the board in that, in fact it's probably closer to 100), with an option to upgrade later on. To each their own, I just know that when I got that exact unit it was put in a corner a week later and never flown again, yes I am speaking from personal experience as well as the experience of many customers I know personally. I hope you enjoy it, it was definitely fun, but it's not going to be aerobatic enough or for that matter tough enough for a typical bro. I did not intent to give you attitude and if you would like to move on to something a bit more robust later on I would be more than happy to point you to some awesome shops and threads I have personally stickied for toilet reading.
6ch is perfect. You have some 3s or 4s 1300 right?WoodPilot said:Care to post these $150 and $250 quads?A.D.3D said:Another 50 bucks would have gotten you a full on 250 race quad with a damn good flight control board, another hundred could get you a decent fpv system...just sayin...
Could they be flown well with a 6ch radio?
Well.......... I guess I'm gonna have to get the salt and pepper. I'm eating those words.stickit said:This will be the only quad I purchase. More into helis and slabs.

I know I spent more than I would have building one, but I hate learning through building first, and I needed another transmitter for cheaper 2.4 receiver gear. With an extra battery shipped was under $200.
He'd be hooked if he flew one. I wasn't to sure about them, and I'll have a few before it's over, along with a few slabs.cbarnes0061 said:Cappy hates quads so I think that kinda like him rolling his eyes at you for owning one.
