Greetings!
Over the holidays, I received a Syma X8C quadcopter. Since I've never flown one before, I thought I'd pick up a cheaper one to get some practice will, so I picked up a UDI Freedom U32. Now there is no doubt that I can barely control that thing indoors, and when I took it out doors well... it was VERY hard to control. Not a surprise since there was a little wind and the thing weights very little.
But have other folks flown one of the Freedoms outside? Is it just my inexperience that made it so very hard to fly or are they really too light for outside use? I did take the X8C up and it worked pretty well -- still hard to fly against what little wind there was.
I'd like to get a smaller drone than the X8C to practice with, since I'd like to not destroy the big drone, but have no idea what a good sub $50 drone would be (in spite of reading tons of reviews).
Thanks all!
