HobbyKing 250 mini racing quadcopter

A 250 sized mini-quad for under ?

That's what HobbyKing claim for their 250 "racing" quadcopter and I have to admit that it's probably pretty good value for money if you want to get a foot in the door of the miniquad craze.

It's tough (although those feet *will* fall of when provoked) and it is good value but it's let down by a design that requires you to mount much of the hi-tech goodies on the outside -- where they're going to take some knocks and bangs.

The 3-bladed props are pretty frail (more-so than the 2-bladers) so points off for not providing at least one set of spares because you *will* break them very easily.

If you're using the KK2.1 board, make sure you dial the gains right down before you try the self-leveling mode because the stock settings will cause it to flip almost immediately.
