Yes. Force1 re-brands a variety of quads including MJX's. Their regular F100 has a slightly re-designed top shell, while the F100 "Ghost" has the stock Bugs 3 top shell in three different colors plus some kind of GoPro knock-off. Functionally both are Bugs 3's. On the plus side, Force1 has a good reputation for customer service, so if you can get it at a more or less comparable price (the F100's come with a spare battery, so factor that into the price) it's worth considering.

Yeah, they made some changes (at least cosmetically) to the transmitters on the recent Force1 versions. I'm curious whether it will result in any difference to the signal quality, but haven't heard. If it's true diversity (unlikely, but possible), I'd point one antenna up and one sideways.

Cool. Can I change the receiver to spektrum? And are receivers plug n play?
The Blade Inductrix I have binds to Spektrum, would be cool if I could use the same tx on the f100.

No, the MJX protocol is different from the DSM/DSM2/DSMx protocols. AFAIK, with MJX Bugs quads you are stuck with the original transmitter. The Jumper T8SG supports SOME MJX quads, but I'm told not the Bugs series, which is the only thing keeping that radio out of my shopping cart.

Howdy All. My son got me an F100 Ghost for Christmas. Haven't had much time to try it out yet though due to weather (was -2 a couple of days ago). In the meantime while I wait for spring, since I do woodworking, I've been designing a box to store/carry it in. Thought maybe someone else out there with an F100 might need/want one too. If there is any interest, I will post a listing for it in my Etsy shop and start taking orders. Below are links to a couple of renderings of the 3D Sketchup model I'm using to do the designing. After I build mine and use it, I will probably make some modifications to the design, but it will be close to this. I designed the drone and all the bits and pieces in Sketchup as well to scale so I could get an idea where everything would fit. Being new to the forum, I'm not sure if this is the best place to post this information or not. Any advice regarding where the post would be more appropriate will be appreciated.

Thanx.
Update: With the help of my son, I figured out how to properly use Imgur.

In all honesty, it's just some stained plywood and some wood burning.
