Anyone got one of these? It's a Hubsan mini quadcopter (2.4 ghz edition), basically a respawn of the first release but with some minor improvements. I got this (for 59,95 EUR) from an online dutch retailer who ships them from the UK. It comes with a transmitter which supposedly tracks up to 200m in open field, but realistically (in urban environments) expect something around 30m. A neat feature of this quadcopter is the 6 axis gyro, which results in stable flying (once the gyro is calibrated on a flat surface, it will maintain this offset during flight). There are 2 available modes: normal (for newbs like me) and expert (for asian kids). In expert mode you have the ability to perform stunts such as a 360 degree flip (check out some other youtube vids). Total weight of the thing is 36 gram (battery included) so be careful when flying it outside in heavy winds (or it'll end up in a gutter somewhere, not speaking from experience luckily). You can power the lightweight LiPo battery by plugging it into your laptop (USB). All in all it's a very fun experience to fly this thing, and it is by no means a toy! P.S. as you can see in the video it has the tendency to harm innocent cats (stuffed ones and real ones) :D
