Hey from York, Pa

I'm Rick & passing time waiting for JJRC H8D to arrive. After spending a week researching quads I went with that because the 300 meter range right out of box on control & FPV was verified. And for $100 it's a no brainer. Also ordered 4x7x2mm ball bearings, 5 extra 7.4 650mAh battery, 4 battery chargers, 4 in 1 stick on magnetic lens, magnetic prop balancer, 24 spare motors and VR headset to mount FPV screen in. And the parts are dirt cheap, even the body shell is only a couple bucks. Only has 1 flaw, 7.4 volts burns the microscopic reed brushes off in like 20 minutes at full power. So fly it at 50% unless your racing.
Update: Turned all the guts 180* to clip camera on backward and give wide angle lens room to point up slightly.

welcome to MultiRotorForums.com and let us know how that little quad works out for you. the FPV link is usually a weak point in the lower priced RTF market so if you're experience is good we'd love to hear about it.

Got my replacement motors so I can fly first time with ball bearings & http://www.cerflon.com dry lube.
Wow throttle is really touchy now. Hovers at like 10% & I don't have to use more than 50%. Should really help with burning motors.
