It got some nice rubber buttons at the bottom of each feet, which keeps it in place when landed. I don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s any good as a impact reducer, they aren&#8217;t that soft. The booms to the motors are made of aluminium, so they feels very solid. I&#8217;ve had my crashes with this one, and it&#8217;s not showing. Only visual damages are that the props have a few scratches.<\/p>\n<p>The quad flies great! It&#8217;s a blast to fly indoors because of the gyro, it&#8217;s the most stable quadcopter I have flown. Having that said, it&#8217;s the\u00a0opposite\u00a0when turning outside for flying. Because of it&#8217;s eager gyro the quad wants to counter every little puff of wind. So if you want a mini quad for outdoor use, you might want to look at the v939.<\/p>\n<p>The flipping function isn&#8217;t as good as the wl-toys, you need to flip a switch on the transmitter to make it go from &#8220;Beginner&#8221; to &#8220;Advanced&#8221;, when this is activated the quadcopter will do flips if you push the direction stick forward or backwards, resulting in a flip in that direction.<\/p>\n<p>The only drawback is that you can&#8217;t fine select sensitivity as on the wl-toys tx, there are only those two modes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/stigern.net\/images\/2012\/minipet\/MiniPetBoardfix.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One great feature is that the wires to each motor uses a small connector on the board, compared to the first v929 model this makes replacing a motor simpler.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/stigern.net\/images\/2012\/minipet\/minipetremote.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"342\" height=\"574\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The transmitter is decent enough, the only thing it lacks compared to the other models in its price class is the\u00a0back light.<\/p>\n<p>Pros &amp; Cons:<\/p>\n<p>+ 6-Axis Gyro (great for beginners, keeps it very stable)<br \/>\n+ Well built<br \/>\n+ \u00a0Great indoors<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; 6-Axis Gyro (makes it unstable in windy conditions)<br \/>\n&#8211; Only two modes<br \/>\n&#8211; Comes with only one lipo<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have now flown this quad for some time, and it is about time to write a review about it.
