Hi all
New to the forum and to quads (although I've flown small heli's before) and I'm after a bit of advice.
I've done lots of research on quads and have quickly realised that the bird that I'd like is not going to be the bird that I get. My budget is just never going to allow that! However, having reduced my expectations so that they're back in line with reality I've currently got my eyes on something, the Syma W1 Explorer. I can pick it up for £89 with the smaller 1300mah battery or about £125 with x2 1800mah ones (my preference).
My question is, does anybody have any experience of this model and/or can you point my at something that 'beats' it, at a similar price? I'd prefer something with, at least, reasonable customer service and spares back-up. I'm not keen on buying from the Chinese websites, for various reasons, so anything from them is out of the picture.
Thanks
Richard
