I have been looking at this guy as my first step into fpv flight. I have a large front yard with lots of trees and it would make a great small fpv quad track, but the reviews have me a tad spooked. I have had several horizon products in the past and never had any trouble so I am a bit surprised.

Are they that bad or is it newbs buying them and not knowing how to fly quads? I've had a couple of hubsan x4's and a syma 5c and some other toy grade quads so I have a good bit of stick time and can confidently fling those around trees pretty well line of sight so I don't think I'd instantly trash it from abuse. . . anyone have any experience w/ these?
 
Yes, never noticed that haha. But you might want to check some reviews.if I recall, the Teleporters aren't the greatest. Something about video quality and receiver heating issues?
 
None of the reviews of any of the small ones are great which is why I've been flying LOS mostly. It seems it is either go with a hubsan fpv which you know is a toy setting out, roll the dice on the blade or drop a grand on a build.

None of those are too appealing really.
 
Sounds like you've got your mind made up, but here's one last thing to consider. You'll have a blast with the nano and be able to flip between different flight modes, etc. But by doing a build from components you'll be using a flight controller like the SciScy or mini F3 which are programmable. You'll learn all about calibration, channel setup, PID tuning, RC & throttle rates, CLI input, all of which will be very beneficial when you move up to a full sized craft. Just sayin...................
 
Oh, my mind is definitely not made up. I just added that link here b/c I found out what I was looking at is infact discontinued. Really, the more I read, it seems the Horizon stuff just is not good anymore which is sad.

Ultimately, I want a good flying fpv quad I can use alot in my front yard it is about 50 yards x 25 yards and littered with trees. I haven't ruled out anything at this point. I'm just trying to figure out the best way.

I'm not adverse to building - I've done surface R/C builds in the past, just based on my free time, I'd prefer RTF.
 
I have put that one on my list.

I don't necessarily oppose spending more, but at this juncture, my concern is that say a 180 - 250 racing quad would just be more machine than my yard could contain?
