Just got my first Quadcopter....i was hovering it in the living room a few minutes ago, and this thing is a BLAST! The only thing im not real crazy about is charging the battery off of the computer.....there must be a remote, battery powered charger that i could use for this thing......but for 35.00 im pretty happy with it! VERY different!

NB...THANKS for the info! Gotta get one!

Ive been flying my X-1 outside lately and im really impressed with how well it handles the wind....it was about 7 to 8 mph, with little gusts to possibly 10 mph, and i still had plenty of control....it sure likes to pop up though when a little gust hits it.....lots of FUN! Im just waiting for the 6.00 charger i ordered to come in so i can fly it at other places!

Well, ive been flying (and crashing) theX-1 now for a little over a month now, and im happy to report its still flying as good as the day i got it! Ive flipped it, flopped it, smashed it into walls, trees, etc, and almost put it on my roof! Amazing! Best 40 bucks i could spend on such a toy! NB, if you read this, that cheapazzed charger works GREAT! Many Thanks!

Bought one of these for my daughter for Christmas. We opened it, flew it once, then on the shelf it went. This thread made me drag it down and fly it tonight in the back yard!
