Critical Piece of Instruction....
By D. Reading
We were disapointed in this toy on Christmas morning. It was impossible to fly - it just went sideways as soon as it took off and nothing we did seemed to calibrate it sufficiently to hover. The instruction manual says "After charging the aircraft the light will flash for ten seconds. Turn on the aircraft and controller and wait for flashing lights to indicate the aircraft is ready for flight." What it fails to mention is that it is critical to place the "aircraft" on a flat surface at his time IMMEDIATELY after inserting the battery. The model then apparently is able to calibrate itself and will hover reasonably stablely. The online manual clued me in to our mistake (we were probably holding the model in our hands in an un-level position for the first dozen seconds after plugging in the battery)

"When insert the charged battery, quad copter will into automatic detection state (the indicator light flashing swift in the first ten seconds when power on) at that time, please place it at a level position, if not copter will fly inclined"

Plug in the battery, put it down right away on the floor or table top. This should be included in the printed instruction manual, the toy is worthless without this knowledge. But once you know the secret, it works quite well and I can recommend it.

$50 of Awesomeness
By Gadget Junkie
Let me preface by saying that I own around 40 RC helicopter ranging from high end $3000 gassers to cheap $25 fp toys. This was my first quad. I bought this at the 49.99 price point and have no regrets even though they are now 39.99

This has been the best $50 that I have spent in a long time. There are so many things going for this kit, where do I begin.

The Good
-Incredibly durable. I have crashed countless times from goofing around and flying indoors and have yet to cause any permanent damage. Even though this is a cheap product they made good choices in durable materials.
-Very stable and easy to fly. My wife has no experience with helicopters, but I was able to get her to try this out in our living room.
-Stable in outdoor conditions. I was surprised at the ability to fly this in light-breeze conditions.
-Payload capacity. For fun, I strapped an iPod nano to the bottom to shoot video. This weighs 35 grams and the quad seemed to be able to handle it.
-It can do flips! Nuf said.

The Bad
- Not a whole lot to say but.....
-I had some glitching problems, but rerouted the antenna through the canopy, and they seemed to go away.
-Battery life is better than the similar sized fp helicopters but with as much fun as these are, it always seems short. Spare batteries can be had for about $7.

In conclusion, after buying one of these I bought five more at the new lower price and plan on giving them away as Christmas gifts this year. This product should be up there as one of the best toys of the year.

Amazing Impossible to break
By Jim Purdy
This quad is amazing!

I got this quad four days ago, and have had about seven flights. This thing is by far an exceptional product. My experience with helicopters began with my dad giving me a esky Lama V2. I hated that that thing. It was so unstable and I was never able to fly it without breaking something. It now sits in a corner Nothing working, and parts of it scavenged for other projects. Then I got a syma 107 It was fun to fly, but after about a week I decided I needed something more. I ordered a Wl v911, and this Syma X1. The V911 broke whiten two days, Its problem was the tail motor burned out I have ordered replacements.

Now to this product: Its agility is not so good, But it can get going very fast. It is a mode 2 controller (Throttle and rotation on the left, and forward, backward, left, and right on the right). This controller has two sensitivity modes, low and high, these are selected by the button on the top left of the controller. low is great for flying indoors, wile high is great for outside; although It cannot handle wind. It has a 350 mah battery that keeps it flying for about eight minutes. It is exceptionally durable, with four carbon fiber blades, and very flexible rotors. It is very stable when you have it trimmed out it will stay in exactally on spot.

Pros:
Durability I have crashed it many times in spectacular crashes, great for a beginner
Power
ability to do flips
stability
2.4 ghz can fly it with lots of friends

Cons:
battery life, you don't quite feel satisfied when you finish
cheesy center plastic cover
low agility

Overall this is a great product, and I would highly recommend. The main bad thing is the battery life, but it is easy to get them off the syma parts store.
