They're able to be flown outdoors, and they use the 2.4GHz transmitter and receivers as opposed to the infra-red on the Syma. That thing is a hell of a buy. |

This is pretty small, but it's also relatively inexpensive. http://www.horizonhobby.com/products...ogy-BLH7480#t2 Anyone have one of these? I have one of these it takes a beating and comes back flying. UDI U818A Wow, even with the camera that's not a bad price at all. http://www.amazon.com/UDI-2-4GHz-RC-...cm_wl_huc_item That is just what I'm looking for. But I'll get the U817A. Don't need the camera. http://www.amazon.com/UDI-U817A-2-4G.../dp/B00D3I2NFQ Looks like it could hit a few walls and stay alive. Thanks for the comeback. I'd like one that can float so I can fly it around the boats and not worry about it sinking. Here ya go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0MxTKM2uVo Or tie a couple empty plastic water bottles to the bottoms: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrArOJUlE0E That last one seems to do better than the first. The last half of the video gives the copter perspective. Very cool. There are so many of them it's hard to decide! Before you invest in a big one, invest in a litte one. That's my advice! I'm going to get this one for the grandkids to play with at Solomons Island this year. http://tinyurl.com/n2ed6ke It looks like it's got enough protection to save the props a little. One of the sales people in the LHS (that's 'Local Hobby Shop' for you rank amateurs) was flying one of these. Fast, maneuverable, very cool. And the price isn't bad, especially as a camera is included. The reviews aren't bad either! Wonder if they have floats for the copter. Would be pretty cool when out salmon fishing, to get air views of the fleet and the catching. Need floats if you ran out of battery before returning. You Tube 'quad copter floats' and you'll find a bunch of different ways to do it. I posted one the other day where a guy had used empty plastic water bottles. Mindless hobby spam Hell, was referring to fishing and boating. |
