Fun little bird, not very fast even in high rates but fun to fly around the living room... Handles wind very well and does lightning fast flips... There are two problems now given the cost these problems should make you not buy it as it is very fun little quad... #1 the transmitter the range is a joke, like no kidding 15 to 20 feet before it drops out and falls to the ground... I fly compition level 3d helis and planes I'm a sponsored pilot as well so its not user error... It can handle out door flight no probs and is fast enough that it covers 20 feet quickly and bam its out of the air... They should have put a external anntena on the radio to boost range to at least 50 yards.... As you can see the little guy good enough to fly 75 to 100 feet out... 2nd issue the battery... Its a 100 mah 1s lipo I charge it on my Graupner Polaron EX (that's a professional grade highly accurate charger) I used the USB charger it comes with to make a lead for my charger... It only handles 4.05V not the 4.20 it should so the pack is charge protected to allow only 4.05V. That's 20% of the pack right there... It has auto cut off as it should to protect the pack at 3.5v so its a 100 mah pack that you will only get about 55mah from where you should get 80 mah... It could be a 6 to 7 min flight time of gentle flying and hovering and 4 to 5 of hard fast flying but instead you get about 3 mins of mixed flying and maybe 4 of hovering... Its just not enough flight time... Then the USB charger charges at .5c so that's .05 of an amp on a 100mah pack that's a two hour charge time given the pack only dumps about 55mah it's a hour charge time... They could have made the charger charge at .1a or 1c... The pack handles 2c charge just fine... The charge protected the pack because the crappy USB charger doesn't auto cutoff at 4.20v if they charge protect why not put cutoff at 4.15v like most charge protected packs do that would add close to 2 mins of flight time. Overall fun toy grade quad for buzzing around the house... Poor range on radio and crappy charge protected cell kills the fun factor. I've moved mine to fly a 1s 20c 150mah pack and guess what it carries it and fly's the same the pack only weighs .2 grams more then the stock 100mah pack does.. I added a plug so I could swap packs... No I para charge 10 150mah packs and go fly for 9 mins a pack of mixed flying.... 10 packs is hour and a half of flying. These little motors don't have the issues of the bigger coreless motors needing cool down times and having short life's... Fly the heck out of them they can take it... I have prolly 12 hours on mine and the motors are perfect.

Awesome toy!
This has to be the best $20-30 dollars I've ever spent. ( I spent 20 but you can spend up to 30 if you want better shipping times) Anyways, it flies amazing. Once you figure out the controls to set it up and making it fly sensitive or less sensitive... you fall in love . It flies better than my $120 dollar heli and last just as long. I was worried about the little cheese remote but you can actually get the hang of this remote and fly it like a boss after a week or less.Just don't get hair in the blades. For any RC flying toy!Best $20 ever spent on something that flies so perfect! I'm in to small heli's but now I see myself upgrading to larger quads in the future after this little bad boy!PERFECT BIRTHDAY OR CHRISTMAS GIFTS FOR ANY KID OR ADULT... MORE SO ADULTS WHO DON'T WANT TO GROW UP!
