SYMA FBA_X5C-1 Final Thoughts

"Work's perfectly."

Not a crack in the fuselage or even a broken prop. I liked it enough, so I'm buying another one. Wish I got a bit longer on the drone battery though. This is our first drone, never used one before. It hovered in place even with the 4 to 7 mph breezes.
