    Meh. I don't think I need anything that fancy at this point. Plus I can't afford that lol

    Got a couple bites on mine so far, but one was a low baller and the other was wanting to trade rc cars. :/

    took it out for a short time today after actually reading the instructions.

    No camera attached - just the copter itself.

    I was really into RC cars as a kid so I am very used to the twin stick controller. Still crash landed twice :anonymous:

    Nothing damaged but my pride though - it's super simple to fly!
