Yayyy it turned up this morning, really quick delivery! Quality I think is great, carbon fibre all over the place. Very sturdy! From the pix you can see that everything comes with this drone, just needs radio gear and a lipo of your choice. The props are good, very strong indeed, hardly any flex at all. Looking forward to fitting the radio gear and try set things up. I’ve found a few useful videos on YouTube which’ll help no end! Hoping there’s a cable inside the goodie bag which suits my foxeer 2 camera... this was seriously cheap aswell, £17.10p it worked out, then delivery, £21 in all!

I think you got a good bargain there, but you will only know once you have flown it a few times.

What do you need to make them fly then? I might just have to go for one, get into a side of RC I have not yet touched. At £35 it is very tempting. Do you know what postage costs are like from there.

All mine needs is just a 3S lipo and 6ch Radio year. Add the props and once things are set up it’ll be ready for testing how brave I am!

Nice one James! Yeah it’s unreal how cheap it was, had a discount at payment and it was just £17.10 in the end.....for something that retails over £180 in some shops! Going to have a meddle with the radio gear tomorrow and suss our which leads I’m to use.

errrr I'm not unfortunately... Been too busy with the kids over the Easter hols, I've come away to sea again now for a few weeks. So when I get home the house will be quiet as they'll be back in school. Got my TX & RX ready n sat there, was looking at the bag which came with the Nighthawk which contains an abundance of cables for the receiver - I've got a lot of head scratching to do figuring out which one does what. But leafing through the manual things seem fairly well laid out, so hopefully it won't be too bad. I've found a decent video on how to set it up anyway, but not a FlySky 6ch receiver. Hopefully there won't be any difference. Then figure out what switches do what on the controller!

In the end I did not go for the 250 kit, it was tempting but right now I don't have the money. Fair enough not having time, when you do make sure to keep us updated, I really want to see what you make of it. Hope you are enjoying your holiday/being away.

I'm in work now matey

and now the wife's just taken ill

while I'm stuck away at sea... something always happens at home when I come away!

You'll get a kit soon enough Mat, I'm looking forward to seeing it fly for the first time. I'm pleased it came with all necessary electrics, just needs a TX and Rx, and lipo. So setup time should be minimal. I'll stick up an update when things happen in a few weeks.
