Review

Excellent Indoor Drone!

If you want a fantastic little drone to fly in the house this little quadcopter is perfect! The quality of both the drone and the transmitter is more than I expected. It holds altitude and responds to trimming very well and is very stable while in flight. The three speed modes are great but I would recommend sticking with slow speed until you get used to flying it. The one button take off and landing as well as the headless mode work perfectly. I got about 6 minutes of flight and the USB charger took about 35 minutes to recharge the battery. I would highly recommend the Potensic A20 if you want an indoor flyer.
