Do not buy, a few tips: -Not repairable, you will break, it will get ugly. -VTX ant is not secured properly and will snap real fast. -Batt is mounted in a way that will both destroy batt on crash and also rip frame apart -Cam mount is problematic, vibration issues -The white label TRX is not something I would allow on the field -The motor guard/feet will rip the drone apart on landing -Flight time is wrong, 2-4min max -Firmware? (prolly betaflight, but seriously) -Arm mount pattern is known to fail faster, stick to mono-frames for learning, replace as needed (this is why we oppen source all our frame designs) -Most images are CAD, not a real product.
This is a junk you, like all Walkera RTF. You need to know how to build in order to fly and these people are just taking your $. If you want to learn this is a very bad unit, you will destroy it and never repair and then dislike the hobby. In the hands of a skilled pilot it will fly tolerably, but this is NOT how you start.
I am a lead engineer (CAD and EE) for a small bespoke custom quad shop.

ukd555I'll second wabv's question but add on - if you're looking to get an entry-level drone what would you recommend/look for?

ukd555best place to custom build drones and order parts? I've been ho-humming about this for years. I live a pretty good location for flying drones too.
