looks nice but brushed geared motors, wait until they bring out a brushless version jeff i dont think this will sell very well,people are moaning already on the forums about the set-up.

well i think it will sell well because the iphone drone has brushed geared motors, as well and thats a lot more money and think about this the iphone drone is £299 and you have to have a iphone and the BLADE mQX comes with a 2.4gh radio and every thing you need so ill stick my neck out a bit here and say it should sell well its as cheap as chips ill buy one at just Price:$169.99* thats about £120 so it should be a bargain for having fun with around the house lol here is the iphone one and i know it has on boaed cameras but when you add the price of the phone and the cost of the drone is it really worth the money because it has two little cameras on it i think for a little daft toy its got to be the BLADE mQX

Dont waste your money jeff, you can make a better quad for alot less money. If it comes down to a build issue there's plenty of us here that would offer to help you build one. Look at the new AIO boards that are out now there easy to setup and get flying.

well done what a good idea i understand what keith is going on about but some times you dont want to mess on building and buying parts to make one i should know iv got a gps board for a quad and im stuck so im selling it, because my wife has bought me another board i should be able to program ,,so like i say some times its just nice to buy the thing with no messing about take it out the box and off you go like i did with the t580 toke it out the box and up up and away there was no messing about and i was happy with that

thats my thinking Ron. for just over £80 for bnf its cheaper than making one and if i do get the bug big time then i can throw my money at a proper size and have the satisfaction of building it myself. i can sell the little one to help fund it. its not out yet and i have plenty of time to decide.

daz popped up last night to my house and saw that daft micro 4ch quad flying, and he was that impressed how good it flys he will be buying a new one from hongkong it also has a accelerometer built in and it is a cracker if you can fly a quad and it can be fast or slow its up to the flyer whos in control of it it dont look much but is fun to use SO IF ANY ONE WHANTS IT ITS A DAFT £20

Looked at that one ,no i didnt i glanced at it and spat , after lots of previous experience with Eflite/Horizon Hobby and every single word of it bad my first impressions were no thanks id rather have a lump of flesh cut of , then i read "brushed" and laughed after LOTS of experience with Walkera's best selling 4#3 and its designated successors ( which are excellent small rotor helis and probably some of the best on the market for their size) the one and only failing of that line of helis is the small brushed motors having to work particularly hard , now times that by 4 for this little quad , 4 motors now with worn brushes, power drops , now im sure someone will come along ( if Horizon havent done it already) and say they use the best motors blah blah blah, no they dont , EXPERIENCE with Horizon hobby tells me they dont because ive dealt with them over and over and over.
I know experience is relative and others have had "super awesome experiences dude" with Horizon, but, i didnt and this was while i was building/setting up/ test flying helis for a rather large retailer, i sent more of their products back than from any other "supplier" , add on to that my own personal dealings with them over their known exploding Delta v edf fans which they knew about and just couldnt be bothered to recall, ill definately be giving this a miss.
Have fun with it m8 , but get ready for that brushless upgrade as with all models buying brushed motors is a bit of a black pit and pretty defunct these days.

I think we all have had issues with one product or another jeff and I've bought HH stuff many times and I have to say its not really caused me to much grief, its usually the one holding the controller (me)
