I'll second that. I ordered one from HK for $240 shipped. I don't think that it's worth paying more than that. I guess we'll see how good it is when it arrives.

anybody has solved the problem of vibration at the motor when increasing the throttle . the motor frame is very weak at one of its axis . especially when the prop is not perfectly balance.

You can not the props that come with the ifly have threaded inserts that screw on to the motor shafts you can use different props but you have to use a 3mm nut to hold them on

I've just ordered one of these from HK,and have a few questions.

Will it comfortably lift a Gopro HD with FPV gear? Do I need to install smaller props, and what is the risk of burning out ESC's with a higher loading?

Thanks

I will lift a gopro easy with the props that come with it

I just ordered one of these Quads It will be my first Quad hopefully it's pretty durable. Any tips or recommeded setttings for a beginner. Thanks Bob

I cannot buy native ESC IFLY 10A. They offer Hobbywing Fentium V4 Version 10A Brushless ESC for IFLY-4 Quadcopter/ RC Airplane.
IFLY-4 will work properly with 3 Brushless ESC IFLY together with 1 Hobbywing Fentium V4 Version?

Just got word that mine has been dispatched from HK..now wondering how long it will take to reach the UK. Saw on their site they are out of stock again..


Hate waiting for this, hope it will be worth it!

I will lift a gopro easy with the props that come with it

Thanks tech69x

Hi Matt - good luck with the new quad. Please do share your first impressions, as there are many of us lurkers, keeping a very close eye on developments!

Cheers,
Nick

My Quad came in yesterday. It apears to be well built. It came with the latest program installed. The instructions for programming are a little vague. I'm going to try and fly it today.

Good for you Bob! Did yours come from HK? Mine was posted on the 5th, with a China Post tracking number that doesn't work..
Still encouraging to hear someone has got theirs

I look forward to reading about what you you think of it, and anything else.Please don't forget to put up a few pictures

Nick, Bob can share his first impressions with us now..I wish mine would hurry up and get here!

Ordered mine from hobby king as well. It took it 7 Days to get here after they said it shipped. Apparently there is a backlog for their postal system after they have a holiday. It actually came from China not Hong Kong. 5 days to the USA then delivered in 2.

I checked the props for ballance 2 were very close 2 were way out. I did hover it briefly last night. It almost will hover hands off. It requires very small inputs to keep it exactly where you want it except for the throttle which is not so sensitive. Altitude hold doesn't work in a small room with heli indused wind everywhere. expected this as it uses a barometer for altude hold. I used a 2450 3s pack and it hovers at just above 1/4 throttle. I will probably program expo on the aileron and elevator channels on my Aurora 9 Transmitter.

Mine was dispatched 7 days ago too, so maybe it will turn up tomorrow or Monday...Did you have a tracking number, and did it work? My number shows up nothing Mine was from mainland China too, from their backwarehouse..

All in all, it sounds encouraging so far, looking forward to reading of your outdoor flights
