Blade Inductrix FPV Plus Rtf (BLH9600) Quadcopters

I bought this little guy to fly around my house when the weather outside prohibited me from flying my other quads. I already had a few other "toy" quads to fly around the house, but wanted something more sturdy, more agile, faster and with an FPV camera. And something that had props guards so I wouldn't hurt anyone or destroy anything in my house. This little guy fits the bill (almost) perfectly. I say almost because the stock frame breaks too easily, and the stock props can't seem to stay on the motors. Sad, but true. HOWEVER, once you upgrade your frame (I recommend the CrazyPony 820 75mm whoop frame or the BetaFlight 75mm frame) and upgrade the props (I recommend the Rakonheli 40mm 4 blade) - this thing absolutely kicks butt and is a TON of fun! It is EXACTLY what I wanted to fly around the house. I bought two of these and broke the stock frames the first day. I also spent a great deal of time searching for stray props. Not any more. Since I've swapped out the frames and props, I haven't broken one frame nor have I lost one prop - and I crash a lot! Both are now virtually indestructible, in my experience. Know this, though: 3 blade props won't allow you to "meow" - for whatever reason - they fly fine, but stick to the 4 blades so you can meow (it's a great function). Overall I am extremely happy with this quad (all quads have SOME weak points). Oh, and I also had to replace the VTX antenna. Over time, it get's abused. Grabbed a receiver wire off one of my toy drones, soldered it on and now...it works great again! Seriously, I love this quad! It would be 5 stars if not for the stock frame and props. But I love to fly, and this thing flies like a dream! I don't fly Acro (blue, stability mode is for me) but I've heard Acro is not good. Sorry, can't speak to that. But again, for how I fly and for what I needed, this thing is the bomb! I don't use the stock TX anymore (got a QX7), but I really liked it - simple and easy to use/bind, and if you press down on the right stick it gives you dual rates, which makes it less responsive and easier for a beginner to fly. Or, for an experienced pilot to fly around slow and smooth. Finally, the altitude hold mode is iffy at best and doesn't work with the upgraded frames - at least, not well. With everything stock the best way to use this mode is to use the blue mode to get to the altitude you want, and then switch to green and start flying. It's okay, but I really don't need it. I fly in stability mode 100% of the time. Sorry to be so long-winded, but I had a lot I wanted to say about this quad. Mostly, that I absolutely LOVE to fly it!

Love this little thing, great for beginners. It's durable and parts are cheap if you somehow manage to break something. With the three changeable flight modes it didn't take long until I was zooming around the whole house. Meow mode is amazing (drone tech has come a long ways since I was last into the hobby)The fpv was easy to set up and get going. The set up with the monitor on the controller works pretty good, I wouldn't really suggest buying the goggles from spekteum that's made for this drone amd reciever (save up for fatshark or alike or just stick with the screen attatched to the controller)If you're having issues with props falling off, just pull the prop off and put some dental floss into the hole in the prop and it fixes it.I would suggest buying more batteries (It comes with a 500mAh, I bought a 4 pack of 550mAh from wolfwhoop and it works great) and a multi charger for them.

I now own about five 'inside' drones, but I wish it were four - I don't believe this one is remotely worth the money.The Pros:It is cute and seems durable (got right up after a few crashes).The camera is good; the included Spektrum camera viewer and DVR is excellent, and the latency is very low.The Cons:The controller is very 'twichy, where the stick will go from no effect to violent in only a few degrees of travel, making it very hard to control.The 'altitude hold' mode is worse that useless; it is more unstable than mode 2.The 'meow' mode actuates, but it never seems to turn the craft over - cute but relatively useless.Conclusions:If you just want a cute and fun inducted fan drone to fly and don't need an FPV mode, get the F36 Furbee for about $15.If you want FPV, add your own camera to the F36, or buy the eaChine E013 for about $70 - and it has a better controller too.My bottom line - this was a waste of about $180, although I did get a good Spektrum viewer...

This is a great Starter Drone, and still a blast for the more experienced flyers as well. Very stable for its size. I have been able to fly outside in 8-9 mph winds with no major proplems. Range is also pretty good for a drone this size 300+ feet in a wide open area before signal to Fpv starts to go out. Only thing I have noticed that someone may complain about is the Altitude hold occasionally has a mind of its own sometimes it will just climb an extra 20 feet or so on its own. I could be picking up interference or something from time to time causing this to happen? More of a mystery than a problem. Me and my 9 year old Son have Been Flying it for the past month without any real complaints. I'mThinking about getting another one!

The drone itself is exceptional, however the monitor mounting system is pathetic. A rubber pad inside the clamp is all that secures the monitor to your transmitter. Not good enough for me. Returned item and ordered the neckstrap mount system with sunscreen and monitor inst3ad and opting to purchase the BNF version of the FPV+ instead. VERY disappointed that Horizon would offer this mounting system as an option to any level hobbyist considering the fact that the screen can slip right out of the clamp with the most minor changes of lattitude.
