This inexpensive tri-blade drone has plenty of power and punch. Yet its stability makes it perfect for beginner fliers. Find it here http://shrsl.com/?~b9ao  and find the camera version here http://shrsl.com/?~b9ap

Pro's
- Very smooth, stable, and gentle flier. Excellent for beginner fliers.
- The tri-blade propellers of this drone provide great lifting power and vertical acceleration (punch).
- Does flips with hardly any loss in altitude.
- Great LED lighting, with strong headlight.  Great for maintaining orientation when night flying.
- Good working headless mode and one key return.
- Good range.
- Good flight time at over 7 minutes per battery. Uses widely available and cheap Syma X5C batteries.

Con's 
- Motors start off in idle. This is different than most other toy quadcopters, but may be intentional by design, possibly for future upgrade of altitude hold version.
