I'm a fairly new quad pilot and used this frame for my first quad as I didn't want to wait a million years for a Banggood frame. The price is very reasonable and it's nice that it comes with a free set of props and a velcro strap. In the first two weeks of flying I had several serious accidents. After a direct fall from 150-200 feet, the frame was completely undamaged. However, after cutting off a branch and landing hard on his arm, the carbon fiber arm flexed under the action of the motor, affecting flight performance. Also, I used the included strap for my battery and after the same fall, the velcro actually broke and my battery flew through the air. I recommend using a different velcro strap to secure the quad components. I think barring REALLY bad crashes this frame is great for beginner pilots like me who are not willing to spend big bucks on brand name frames.
