G+_Hagos Rush Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Hey guys, I am new to the community and google plus aka I have no idea what I am doing. Anywhoo, I am looking to purchase a quad for myself. I am a complete newb. I flew helicopters a couple years ago and crashed...a lot. I was terrible. So now, I would like to purchase a quad that is great for beginners. Easy to fly and make sure that it has the Forward, back, left & right functions so that I can eventually build a real quad. Recommendations please? Keep it cheap...like $35-$60 range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Eddie Foy Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Syma (5Xc?) Light weight, crash it all you want, takes a hella-beating. Tons of fun. Works good in and out doors. I'd opt for the extra 4 battery pack and quad charger (about an extra $20 or so) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_David Keeler Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Consider the UDI 818a. Takes video as well! Its easy and rugged and if you just break 1 arm you can buy replacements... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Hagos Rush Posted July 9, 2015 Author Share Posted July 9, 2015 Thanks for the suggestions. The UDI sounds interesting because...video. How durable is it? Im thinking between the Syma (because I can crash a lot and the UDI for the video) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Eddie Foy Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Syma has a cam version just not broadcast back, just record/snapshot controlled from xmitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_David Keeler Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Gos R The UDI is pretty durable. Plus I got my on Amazon Prime so I could just send it back if I broke it in 30 days... Certainly nothing against the other models! I also like the looks of the UDI. I took off the guards and put on a upside down old yogurt cup so it looks pretty cool!
