good beginner kit just wish it came with literadio 2 se elrs or cc2500 other than that it's a robust fun indoor starter setup except gimbals on literadio 1 break easily if dropped or carried in provided drawstring bag and difficult to rebind after trying a different controller which didn't work out well.
The drone is good. One thing that happened was that I was on a trip for 2 weeks and when I got back home to play with it the battery time was reduced by 50%. Usually, the drone runs for 4 minutes and 40 seconds and now it runs for about 2 and a half. I kept them it a cool temp and did everything well. I would appreciate it if Beta FPV sent me new ones.
It's small and ease of use makes it great for teach people the basics of fpv.
Honestly, after 30secondes using my beta drone he couldn't go up I was forced to put it back to the ground and wait 5sec and then go again. Otherwise he is great to learn how to fly an FPV drone
I bought this drone trying to get into fpv drone racing, and its awsome! great range, works as intended, and is super fun! the only problem is the bottom of the motor frams crack pretty easily, and im not able to find a frame that i can buy seperatly
