A very good quad ! I tried it for 3 full flights so far. Battery lasts for ~10 minutes of normal flight. It flies perfectly really just out of the box. You need less than a minute to be airborne as props re already installed. Even a novice can fly it (although I would not suggest). I tried a few tricks but not flips so far. It really flies fast (at least for me who never had racing quads, only stable and aerial photo quads so far). Quality is really great, I hope it also lasts. Take off and landing is pretty easy but not as other quads like Quanum nova or XK Detect I fly so far. And still you have a nice programmable Orange Tx for other planes or quads. Just buy a couple of Rx at only 5$ and you are ready to use it everywhere else you like. The only problem I guess is spare parst but I hope I will not need for a long time...

Super cool Quadcopter, perfect bild qualyty and wary good for the new way of flying. The speed and preformance on 6s LiPo is a blast. Till this time i have not seen any better quads for racing and fristail. All you need is some spare batteries FPV setup and good goggles.

My wife bought me this RTF version for my birthday and after waiting 2 weeks for delivery (Global Warehouse), I was pretty keen to open up and see what is included. What you see in the photos is what you get. I had previously bought a spare battery from NSW warehouse and this had been charged in readiness. I did a quick check (shouldn't need a thorough check as it is "Ready To Fly". I fitted batteries to TX, turned on and made sure all controls worked and then started a "motor run-up". This only ran for a few minutes before the motor and Spur Gear slipped, completely destroying the Spur Gear. I can only presume that the motor wasn't adjusted and secured correctly on the chassis mount plate. Perhaps a tip for other buyers.
Not very satisfactory for a few minute motor run on a brand-new out of the box Ready To Fly Model.
I have been in touch with HK Support and hopefully they will be able to correct this situation.

Ordered on the 2nd received on the 6th....impressive.....just took a short test flight straight from the box (didn't even charge the lipo) all seems well and flies tight...no idle-up mode yet but seems really solid....sorta like a 450 cp heli....seems well built....should be loads of fun to unleash...now to order spare parts to have on hand....
