My advice: don't buy.

Had to buy and replace all ESCs by myself (the default ZTW ones were all broken and lead to sudden motor failure and stuttering).
HobbyKing does NOT have any spareparts in stock.

Motors are mounted in a stupid way.
If the landing is a little bit rough, the props crash against the frame and destroy themselves (had this 5 times already).

Bad frame construction:
* battery does not align with flight direction (rotated 45 degrees against flight direction)
* motors are mounted in such a way that it is almost impossible to fix the props as low to the motor as possible

There is no information available about the built in motors or what could be used as replacement.

Not a bad quad but I have to say it lacks in the power department. The props are incredibly flimsy so I am hoping when I change them to carbon fibre it might help the problem. The instructions where relatively clear and it went together without any problems. This is my fourth quad, I wanted something small I could fly around the back yard. there are also no spare parts available which could be a problem for new pilots in the event of a crash

Hello, I need help for the esc setup. According to the manual I got ztw 12amp escs with the kit. So foolowing the manual i wanted to make some changes but the tones what i supposed to follow are absolutely different. My escs has no label and at the moment im not sure that these are ztw. If not what esle they are? I hope you can help becouse without any label hard to tell the make and find a correct programming guide. The only thing what I know that they are black. :) Thanks, Peter

Absolut genial,
ist mein erster Copter. Komme ganz gut damit klar.
Meiner Meinung nach Ideal zum anfangen.
Fliege momentan mit 3S 1300 Lipo,
werde auf 1800 3S umsteigen.
Habe noch LEDs eingebaut, geil!!!

My first quadrotor. Goes together quickly and flys well. Initially used I86 controller and now upgraded to MultiWii MicroWii ATmega32U4 which fits the mounting holes. Due to this quadrotors small square base, it's prone to tipping over on landing so after a few broken props, I have added helicopter style training base (ie carbon rods with foam balls at ends). This makes it far more stable on landing.

Very nice. Bought and love it! Very strong. Use it with a Multiwii Pro . Assemled a small glass fiber 2 axis gimbal for gopro hero 3 to put on it. Flies very well. 5min autonomy.
