Kyosho Drone Racer - Unboxed and 1st Flight!

Have you always wanted to try a Drone (or Quadcopter) but were a bit intimidated by the transmitter? Are you a surface racer and want that same pistol grip, wheeled radio while flying? Kyosho has come to the rescue and developed The Drone Racer. The Kyosho Drone Racer comes as a Ready Set (RTF) right out of the box and is ready for all skill levels from the "never flown" to the Expert FPV UAV Pilot. With two preset heights (captured on the third channel switch), the wheeled radio takes care of turning, throttle (forward and reverse) and makes it easy! The Kyosho Drone Racer is a Hobby Grade quad complete with all the latest technology to make it fun and challenging (if needed!). In this video, I unbox the Drone Racer and take it for it's maiden voyage. The flight you see is the first time I have "driven" it! No need to wait till till the "December Issue", The RCNetwork has it first!

Takeoff and auto-hover with one-touch control using ultrasonic sensors that remove the frustration of learning complicated flying techniques. Now you can experience the fun of drone flying at your own pace.
Includes the latest 2.4GHz Syncro KT-231P pistol-grip transmitter featuring advanced aircraft-like instrument panel. Flying height adjustment switch is installed on the base of the transmitter grip.
The DRONE RACER is equipped with advanced ultrasonic sensors,
6-axis gyroscope (3-axis angle speed sensors, 3-axis acceleration sensors), barometric pressure sensor and four fast response mini coreless motors. Speed switching function provides a choice between “Easy Mode” and “Active Mode” and delivers direct intuitive flight control.
