Received mine Yesterday ... and this little thing is AWESOME ! ...well the flying part is ...the controller (TX) though ..grr..After inserting batteries in to the controller the only thing on it's display was the battery level , nothing else ! No red light at on/off switch , nothing else on LCD ! This thing is dead.Now sending this thing back will probably cost me more than to buy a new one , BangGood with their free shipping ! One option then really ! Open it up time ....The six screws was removed and on closer inspection ...this board WILL have dry joints .I re-soldered everything I could and low and behold ...IT works ...well till this morning when it again did not power up ....grrrr , I left it in the sun and there you go ...power ! something is not making contact! Anyway , will try and fix tonight , again ... My Soldering skills are not the best around ...lets hope.As far a flying ...in "normal" mode I actually had a hard time controlling the quad ...it moved too slow , too much stick movement to get it to move , does not feel right when you use to RC ...but ! now you can set this , the manual is excellent (for a Chinese translation ), there is more ! OH BOY ! in Expert ! This quad flies like a real one ! and it's quick ! so , expert mode all the time ...reaction is immediate ..the way I like it .I did the Strawmod to make sure the motors don't press through .. Also already damaged one arm . So I committed to some extra props , motors and body from BangGood for $10 .In the end If I cant get the controller(TX) right I will just get a new one ...It is worth it , this is a AWESOME flier ! I cut the Straw at 7mm ....
