re: #43 thedopefishlives
It’s a UDI U818A. I got one of the more advanced models that has an automatic return-to-home function; I have no idea if that will actually be useful or not. The reviews almost universally said that the U818A series are durable and easy to fly for first-timers. As long as you’re not expecting a flying GoPro camera out of it, they’re good performers for the price, albeit a bit short on flight time.
I’m looking at that one and the Syma offerings.
Please share a review with me when you get a chance.
