Review on ✈️ SYMA X5C-1 RC Quadcopter Bundle: Extra Batteries, Blades, Charger, and SD Card by Alquino Scarwin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good training drone. Too easy. No info on battery level

Received it today along with a parts kit that I bought separately ($25). I flew it indoors and really liked the stability. I checked out his reviews on YouTube and the web. The case is made of lightweight, flexible plastic, very durable. I bought a DJI Phantom 4 Pro and didn't want to use it for workouts. I have a palm sized mini drone and it is not very stable and quite slippery. I also read that the lack of headless mode and FPV for beginner training is a good thing. That means learning to navigate towards the drone and not getting distracted by FPV. Update: I am reducing my rating from 5 to 3 stars for two reasons? First, the instructions are unreadable. I want it to be written by a native English speaker. Two battery connectors from the drone fell through the body. I have initiated a return and am hoping that the seller will fix the issue. UPDATE: I've raised my rating from 3 to 4 stars because this quad flies so well, is crash proof and is a great training quad. My main complaint is that it is very light and the wind can easily blow it away. I also wanted the RC to show the battery level of the quad.

Pros
