    Holy Stone HS170G Night Elven Mini RC Quadcopter Drone with Altitude Hold Function, Headless Mode, 3D Flips, One Key Engine Start Emergency Stop

    • Pros-Stable (my son flew it easily first time w/no experience), decent flight time on a single charge (am getting about 8 minutes a flight as advertised), love the headless mode.
    • It was definitely fun and flyable but again just prefer the standard mode 2 (variable potentiometer gimbal) layout
    • Headless mode is a nice feature as well.
    • Here are a few of the transmitter features of the Holystone HS-170G:• Joystick input commands can be switched from “left-hand” mode (default mode) to “right-hand” mode: for those who are more comfortable with the throttle control on the right-hand stick and the drone’s direction input on the left
    • The headless mode allows the younger pilots to enjoy the toy in the first few minutes of flying
    • Make sure you have the A props on opposite corners, same for the B props, or drone will not fly correctly!I really love the ‘Headless’ mode.
    • I however am a bit more experienced and prefer the traditional mode 2 setup with a variable potentiometer gimbal for roll and throttle
    • Frankly, I would strongly recommend position 2 or 3 for any outdoor flying).• Headless mode (can be very useful once you understand how it is
