Following the advice of YouTubers, I had planned to get the currently popular FPV RTF kits for beginners, like the Geprc or the new TinyHawk. However, I couldn't find them on Amazon, so I went with this one. I'm glad I did!!!! This kit was awesome! It's always recommended to start with a simulator, but the only computers I have that aren't work related run Linus distributions. Not the best systems for gaming. So I went straight to flying! On days 1 and 2 I started quite normally. Then I switched to sport or "angle" mode. After 2 weeks I switch to manual or "acro" mode. This hobby is my new addiction!!! I crashed this thing hard against walls crashed on tile two floors down and this thing is still running strong!!! This thing is a tank! In the meantime, everyone else who has listened to the "experts" and got to know the alternatives is complaining about broken quads after just a few flights. I would say the biggest downside of this kit is that you can't record video right away. However, there are ways to add this functionality later by adding another receiver that can record video. Another downside for me is that the camera is non-adjustable and faces up at a 30-45 degree angle. That's great for fast flying, but it's not the best for slow flying indoors around tight obstacles. Nevertheless, you get along well. Mostly I use it for panting indoors, but you can also fly outside. On a windy day you will struggle with the wind, but with practice it is doable. With a clear line of sight, I get a fairly clear image up to 100 meters away with the default settings. I can fly around my house (with my house between me and the quad) but the signal gets rough and loses color. I am definitely happy with the purchase and I want to give these sets to my nephews for Christmas. I would suggest buying extra batteries so you can fly longer. Have fun!!!
