I really wanted to love this ATV.

As an ATV introducing me to FPV, this may not have been a good choice. But even flying without glasses there were too many problems for me to wear them. First the case! When I received it I was impressed with its appearance. But it quickly disappeared when I tried to put the drone down! Once the drone is pushed into the small foam cavity, it's almost impossible to remove! The neckline is very tight and the sharp stops dig into the foam. After receiving it new, I never put it back in the case. Next comes the design. Maybe I should get used to it with these open designs, but I had to keep moving the wires so they didn't touch the props. Batteries seemed particularly prone to being gobbled up by props. I probably spent more time setting up the cables than I did flying this drone. I also don't care much about the strap that holds the batteries. Maybe I'm picky, but watching it rub against the boards with any adjustments really worries me. I'm afraid it will end up hurting a bit. Finally we have quality. In general, everything looked decent. And to be honest, maybe I'll get another one later. However, I tried to fly it today and kept noticing the noise. It looked like one of the supports had hit a wire. After numerous inspections, I finally determined that it was the rear left engine. Although it was still (apparently) fully functional, it sounded like the bearings were failing. It had a very distinct grinding noise and feel compared to the other three motors. That was the last straw for me.
