Oh no, the "Smaller than the Smallest Quadcopter in the World" and it's Flippin' neat!

Oh no, the 'Smaller than the Smallest Quadcopter in the World' and it's Flippin' neat!
This is a flippin' neat little quad for sure. When I got the Ad from Xheli, I thought I would go ahead
and order one to see how it fared to what I thought was the Worlds smallest Quadcopter the Estes Proto X.
That one had a small transmitter too, but the bigger Hubsan Transmitter will run it fine. The transmitter is buried in my hands and difficult for these old shakey hands.
The CX-10 Quadcopter is more robust and heavier, albeit a tiny bit smaller than the Proto X.
That mass gives it great speed and carrys it thru the flips beautifuly.

Controls are sent from the iOS device wirelessly to a laptop into Processing which then feeds them into my Arduino Base Station.
