2 I wanted to thank you for your review. Very informative especially as almost no site has actually reviewed this quad yet. After also asking AndyRC at Youtube he said I should be very happy with this quad. I may have to learn to fly outdoors first but once I got the hang of it I should be able to move indoors just fine since I will not be able to pick up another quad for a while once I get this one. So I rather get one with OSD as I believe it will prove very useful as a beginner in making sure I land before I run battery down.

31 Based on my obsessive research and reading of various things on the interwebs... I decided this it the quad I'll start with (technically my second, but really is my first FPV)... This review talked me into it.
Key features that hit it off for me:
Affordable micro
Eachine makes affordable stuff that I can easily replace parts with as I destroy this thing making noob mistakes
OSD=++++++
It seems to have a configurable flight controller (this is critical since I've been spending about a month with sims now tweaking rates and expo)
Strong motors sound like a good thing for what I am interested in doing. I watched the following review on it as well:
with the only downside he could name (other than wanting to go fast) I am pretty sure I'll be OK on failsafe.
Great review! Hopefully my experience will work out. I look forward to my first legit FPV flight. I'll post my followup here.

31 Mine arrived and it's dead already.
I had some issues with props falling off at first, then after a crash into a tree the connectors for one of the motors has come off, and when I run it I smell electrical burning...
I either have a defective bat, or it's WAY too fragile for noobs... I am not sure which.
I am very disappointed.
I posted a full story of my experience in another thread here:

Good to know, I'll try getting in touch with someone before frankenstiening it. Thanks for the advice on the settings too, I hadn't considered that and I might try it when I either get this one going again or I get a new one.

0 Dear All,
I am a new comer in this hobby, I fly Helicoptor before.
I have brought QX105 Frsky version, and using my existing Futaba FF9 CHP controller, may I have your advice what mixing should be applied? I tried mixing AER to throttle and no luck, stand alone every control also no help. When i push throttle to around 40~50%, the motors will all turned on and at full speed, direction also seems not correct, it will roll forward 360 degree and droped.
But I just found I can hover it stable in betaflight animation (PID Tab).
Thanks
Regards,
Dick
