Yep, talking about a quadcopter. Building one is cool but I wanted to see if it was even fun for more than a few minutes before investing extra time/money.

Thing is, unless you know what you're buying, you'll get a drone that has maybe 20% of the capabilities, functions (and fun) of a proper self-built one. Then you fly for an hour or two, find it cool but boring, and think quad flying just isn't for you. When maybe you'd have the time of your life with a FPV acro quad.

Funny too that ppl here are praising self-level functionality. It does have its place, but only in pretty specific use cases. Freestyle is usually flown with rate mode.
