...very cool maneuver The X-Dart comes preloaded with a cool automatic feature, the auto-flip. Simply pushing a button on the controller will have the little X-Dart executing a perfect flip in flight.
So, in addition to its inherent nimbleness, you can keep the X-Dart doing this highly entertaining maneuver until the battery finally goes flat...
...better in the open On a calm afternoon we took the X-Dart Quadcopter to the local field to get it a try in the open space, where there are fewer things to crash into.
The freedom immediately translated into a better flight, with no risk of the little quad hitting the ceiling if you took off with too much power! Again, the capability of the X-Dartimpressed, even though the piloting skills were still being developed. You can see how the popularity of multirotors in growing so fast...
...a new experience in a diminutive package The X-Dart is my first experience with multi-rotor aircraft and, I must say, I'm impressed with the tiny craft's abilities. The first flight of the X-Dart quadcopter was a bit of a laugh, with the diminutive quad proving difficult to master at first. They also pack surprisingly good performance into a tiny package, powered by a 300mAh battery which slots into the body.
The amount of flight time the 300mAh battery is able to deliver also speaks volumes of the efficiency of the package, running four motors as it does. Despite the modest power pack, thelittle quadcan stay in the air for several minutes, defying one's expectations; long enough to have a few good laughs at the buzzing little crafts leap into the air unexpectedly quickly or flips ignominiously whilst trying to land. And it's nice that the X-Dart comes with a replacement prop set which, if you decide to fly inside the house, you'll be needing sooner or later...
