I had originally thought that this was a cousin to the Crazyflie Quadcopter however it seems the two have nothing in common, save both being quadcopters.
This one is a bit of a crapshoot. Documentation and community adoption are sparse. The GitHub project has seen some recent uploads, mostly concerning the English version of the official website, however that appears to be a new coat of paint on a mothballed project, years old. The single review I found was over two years old and tepid at best, recommending hardware and software modifications to make the 'copter usable. The main retailer selling this 'copter is Elecrow with a single review at 5 stars. They also provide a wiki which has instructions, firmware, and source code, however as they are not the manufacturer, who's to say regarding the quality or future availability of the content?
The English version of the official website takes forever to load and mostly is just a bunch of graphics with very little information. The official FAQ does present some usable information as well as actual owner feedback/discussion, however it, too, seems to take a VERY long time to load.
I wanted to like this drop, really I did. This retails at half the price of a Crazyflie so even though $10.00 off isn't a huge discount, considering price alone it's a great buy juxtaposed to its nearest competitor. Unfortunately, everything other than price falls far short of what I would have hoped.
