This quadcopter and transmitter are amazing! The first thing you want to do is get an upgraded FPV antenna, the tiny one that comes with it is useless. I hit the ground (HARD) several times and nothing broke. I started flying a parrot mambo, my first real ATV. It's programmed by Arris with stable and acro modes (no horizon mode), but stable mode is great for beginners! I'm not ready for acro, attempting acro caused one of my crashes. If you fly lightly, 4 x 1500mah batteries can achieve more than 7 minutes. Very fun to fly!
