Do you have any good recommendation for the RC Quadcopter? Yesterday,I saw a discount on www.tabletexpress.com. The original price of AKASO X5C is $49.99,now only $27.99. How about AKASO X5C?

Eachine is a great starter as a ready to fly quad. It has everything you need for 170 bucks from amazon. Dont go cheep as you will spend 5 times as much replacing them

KAIDENG K70C High Hold Sky Warrior Quadcopter -$85.69

http://www.gearbest.com/rc-quadcopters/pp_312258.html

Pros:
Big (but fragile)
Includes camera
GoPro Compatible Quad
Excellent price
Power Button on top
Chassi fastened by clips
All parts were there plus some spares

Cons:
Instruction Manual needs work as did not differentiate between \"A\" rotors and \"B\" rotors and where they should go on which motors and pictures were too small
No Altitude hold
Lipo odd size which difficult to obtain anywhere else
Landing gear half-tubes - could break off during hard landing (stay on grass)

That being said, there have been complaints of not all parts being included. Or lack of spare parts if you have an accident. I also am member of registered flying club and have had good RC flying experience w fixed wing - in other not a neubie wrt RC flying
