My youngest just blew his Christmas money on one of these. Comes complete ready to fly. We need another battery to enjoy this thing to its full potential. The cat's think it's a huge flying insect but look like they're contemplating a takedown 😀
Not our video but a good example of what can be done in the right hands.

just to confirm, are the rotors still to weak (power wise) to hurt if they were jumped on by a cat? (serious enquiry)
Looks like the 1st radio controlled helicopter worth buying, to entertain me and the cats... and chase the dog with!

I've got a Hubsan X4, ace fun. The more skilled you get the more you can do. Battery packs are only a few quid too. Good thing about them is you don't spend most of the battery life trying to trim it up.

My lad's flown this thing into himself several times 😀 It nips a bit but it's not succeeded in breaking the skin yet. We love our animals & I wouldn't let them in the same room if I thought there was any risk of them coming to harm.
