QR series Ladybird - WLToys V939 4CH 2.4GHz Micro Quad 4-Axis Mini UFO Style RC Helicopter Yellow - Multirotor Quadcopter - RTF Ready to Fly with Transmitter Tx Included, color may vary.

I have a few gyro-roter toy copters and this was my first multi-rotor. It took me 10-15 flights before I was very comfortable with this thing but now I love flying it. I fly it indoors (small apartment) and outdoors. Crashed it a lot (but not hard) while learning and it still flies good as new. Probably on the challenging side for kids under 12 years old unless they have flown a lot of RC copters before. Has different sensitivity settings, 20%, 40%, 60%, and trick mode 100%. I started on 20% and flew it like that for a few weeks before moving on. I now fly at 40 and 60 and it's much more responsive and zippy. 100% is impossible, it's for people who know how to do flips and 360s. Really fun, comes with 2 batteries that charge via USB and last roughly 8 minutes each.

I got this quad because I had no quad I could fly indoors. I must say this is quite a nice little quad. Decent protection (though I haven't managed to snap something yet) and a nice overall quad. The transmitter feels nice in the hand. Has 4 digital trim adjustments you can adjust. One note one may find useful. Do not try to connect the remote to the quad while in a room with laptops and desktops all around you. It would not make the connection. One minor complaint I have is the battery connecters are incredibly delicate. If you have large hands like I do, be prepared to spend some time connecting them. Other than that this quad is really great! Flies nicely and takes off when you tell it to.

This product arrived defective, with one of the motors not working properly, resulting in the craft always veering off uncontrollably. To make matters worse I wrote to the supplier for assistance and had to deal with a truly obnoxious person who did not read my initial email, and then became increasingly surly. So not only is there a good chance you will get a non working product, there is a very, very good chance you will get rubbish service and attitude from the people who sold it. Avoid this product, and avoid this vendor, is my strong advice.

This review was written by my 10 years old: I had never flown a quadcopter before, but I found the Beetle very easy. The flight is very stable once the trim was calibrated. It is also well built - I have flown it into walls and crashed it from over 50ft high and it was perfectly fine!! With the other quadcopter I had (Hubsan), the propeller came off the second day. I tried putting it back on, but it kept flying off. The propeller also came off the Beetle, but I was able to put it right back on and it stayed on! Definitely recommend it.

This quadcopter is much bigger than I expected from the pictures. Out of three different quads I bought for my nephews, this was the most difficult to fly and I wouldn't recommend it for kids or indoor use (unless you have a large open space like a gymnasium). It is nice and sturdy, with what seem to be carbon fiber-like arms. The beetle body is just a thin plastic cap that sits on the top. The nephew that got this one was hesitant to fly it because it was not as responsive or maneuverable and he preferred the other ones. The remote is unnecessarily complicated and the instructions are primarily in Chinese with poorly translated brief English subtext.

First on I got didnt work but I returned the first and reordered a second one and it works great. Super fun to fly around. This thing can also take quite a beating flying into trees and the ground. I am new to quad copters so I would def. recommend this one to noobs.

About the same size as the Hubsan x4 models. This has a better control range (100-150 meters) than the Hubsan, uses same size batteries. The Hubsan is more stable, easier to hover. The Hubsan lights stay on even if throttle is at zero, but the ladybirds turn off when throttle at zero so harder to find in tall grass or at night. When battery is low, the Hubsan's lights blink rapidly, but not the ladybird. Overall, owning both quadcopters, I find the Hubsan easier to fly and with a few more features, like rubber feet, a prop guard, low battery warning.

I've only been in this helicopter scene for about a month, so I'm no expert. This is my first quadcopter, and it won't be my last. It's very small. Despite its size, this thing is powerful. I've nicked a finger with this thing, so be careful to not let it actually, um, crash into you. This one can be a bit crazy to control indoors as it has a tendency to take off at extreme speeds in whatever direction you send it, and quick recoveries are going to be an art form to master. It's a bit cold out now to test outdoor flight, but I have a feeling it will excel in that area. It also has this funny little button on top that will cause it to do a mid-air flip. Inside the house, this means flipping, going straight to the floor, then popping back up again unharmed. Just don't be alarmed when it drops to the floor--this thing is made out of durable materials and handles crashes like a champ. My advice would be to actually practice with this one, a little a day, until you really get a feel for it. It's not an AR Drone or anything, and it does NOT have indoor bumpers. There is a video review that shows one with the bumpers, but that is an aftermarket product that has to be purchased separately.
