So I found this little gem at one of my local hobby shops... $80 and it is fantastic.. imho anyway.. wondering if anyone else had seen or had one

I'm putting together a collection of mini quads for a pre-holiday season review. The Ominus is in there as is the Proto-X SLT and others.

Trying to have it up in time for you guys to make your selections and have them on your lists!

I look forward to it.... I've heard it compared to the LaTrax Alias.. a couple times actually.. and I've seen some criticism from those who think the only good quad is the phantom 2.. and anything that's less than $400 is trash.... But I thoroughly enjoy the way it flies... Even in a decent wind it holds its own... There are a few things that could be improved.. such as the rotor axles.. according to this YouTube vid I watched... They are aluminum or some other soft metal and bend easily... He actually replaced them with Alias blades and axles.. but other than that it seems to be a pretty stout little bugger...

Hahaha.. I actually took that into account when purchasing... But it seems to be a pretty legit little machine... And flys amazingly smooth.. doesn't hurt my feelings if it could be fixed up a bit with some different parts... I'm actually looking for a bigger MaH battery that will fit... Though I'm getting about 7-10min flight
