WL Toys V262 Cyclone UFO 4 Channel 6 Axis Gyro Quadcopter 2.4Ghz Ready to Fly

These guys are a lot of fun! They are easy to fly and maintain. I put the V262 light system on one and it flys and looks great. The other I use as my day timer and I'm not going to put anything on it, except a few LED key lights to better tell front from the rear. The little key LED lights weigh just a few grams and I Velcro them on. They have on/off switches so easy to use on it or I just take them off. The price of this quad is all over the charts so be wise and look around and compare. It's great to have the shipping free too! Get extra batteries too! I hope they come out with a better gear system to spin the props a bit smoother and cut down on motor wear and noise, but I'm good for now. The V262 has been around for a while and I feel it's a proven machine for fun and good times. If it's taken care of, maintained and respected, it'll do what it's meant to for longer than you have interest in it! It's certainly been keeping my interest. It's easy to get all the parts for too, should you wear one out from too much fun! I really believe in this bird and don't think you can go wrong! I didn't!UPDATE 5/5/14I put the blue and red light system for the V262 that I got from Tmart for seven bucks and free shipping on and had a great time flying at night! I got about 8-12 mins. Flt. time running the lights and the lights on the quad and the quad on the same battery. I switched back and forth from the 850mAh and the 1000 mAh batteries and was happy with the time. No heat problems either. It was a lot of fun over the neighborhood!UPDATE 5/21/14It took me 20 mins.To change my first motor and about 10 for the second. It's easy now and the quad is running great as can be from problems developed a few days ago. I ordered a few more motors and got the whole arm assembly from Bangood, light and all for $8+ so that can be switched really quick. If you change the motors, use a needle tip for your solder gun/iron, it works great!UPDATE:6/28/14I found changing out the copper bushings with bearings really helps with the ease of the props shaft spin and and will cut down down on motor wear. A very easy do. Somewhat quieter too, but as long as one does this, better get some spare gears to have on hand too. They're just nylon and they'll be spinning their hearts out so put some silicone grease on them and some very light oil or silicone on the bushings or bearings if you've upgraded!ALSO I've put heat sinks on the motors to keep em running cooler and along with the bearing upgrades they'll last a lot longer now as my friend Glen and in SJC and I can tell you for sure! Flying without the frame is a great change and it does increase flt. time and it's more breeze or wind tolerable too😉!

I purchased this as a gift and had it shipped directly to my father for a birthday gift. Unfortunately he went on to have all sorts of problems getting it to work. I purchased extra blades and motors and other parts "just in case", but after a lot of remote debugging over the phone, the end result was that one of the motor drive circuits was marginal resulting in a basically unreliable mess. (Even with a spare motor installed, one corner was consistently under-powered and slow to react relative to the others, so stable fight was basically impossible.)That unit was returned (Amazon, as always was good and easy for that) and I purchased another which I had shipped directly to me (so I could test it out 100% before sending it on). That one worked fine, although the overall out of box experience is still tarnished by the first defective unit and subsequent double-dip on shipping the replacement to its final destination on my own dime.Overall, it's a fun toy. The flight platform seems quite simple and performs well, but the remote bothers me-- unnecessary LEDs and backlights drain the (considerable number of) AA batteries required (none included) with little upside except to try to make it look "more expensive" than it actually is.The manual is (unintentionally) hilarious with its clearly "we cut and pasted the Chinese in to Google Translate and just printed whatever came out" approach to language localization. Trying to get a defective unit working over the phone with my 79 year old father on the other end of the line trying to read and understand said instructions however ...documentation quality was less amusing in that case.Summary:Defective first unit drop shipped to recipient for birthday gift = 2 starsReplacement unit that actually works = 4 starsOverall: 3 stars

This was a gift, for my 10yr old son, at Christmas. The size of this quad-copter, makes it different from the others, it's pretty huge and light weight but so far durable. It definitely, is, impressive out of the box, as a gift ! No assembly out of box, just batteries AA's for the controller, the Quad itself charges pretty quickly off the controller. It Came with a Controller, Replacement Blades, has bright flashing LEDS and pretty much non-existent instructions. Best advice is watch a few Youtube videos on start up. We are novices at purchasing such things, but I did some research, and watched a few videos, and I was correct in assuming this was not only a fairly easy device for my son, to pick up and figure out, but also it has stood up to a novice 10 yr old having a LOT of FUN learning how to fly it, make it hover, ect. It seems like it should last with the foam protective ring around it, and just in case, I did see online the replacement parts are pretty cheap to purchase. If this is something he would enjoy long term, you probably could get crazy customizing it, but we bought it for fun. I did actually look at the, more expensive and less expensive, smaller plastic quad-copters in person and online .....Value wise.. even though the others may rate better by "Man-Children", this worked for my REAL Child, and was cheaper then the more popular models. **Safety**Keep it a lower power percent say 40% or 50 % power when getting used to it. Also, for safety make sure to have the controller off or set aside so it doesn't come on when picking it up, because the motors spin the blades very fast and strong ( they CAN CUT your fingers if they turn on, even though they are Plastic!!) You can't fly it forever, after a charge (a good amount of time), but from my understanding it's no different than any other type.
