Flight test: Holybro Shuriken X1 drone (OMG it is fast!)

This is probably the fastest miniquad racing drone I've ever flown and it even makes me look good, despite a lack of talent on my part.
Pros:
- it's fast; very, very fast
- it's agile and comes well tuned out of the box
- the OSD is "just right" -- not too much dross
- it's tough
Cons:
- it eats batteries if you're not careful
- doesn't provide telemetry via the Taranis
Summary:
This is the best "bind and fly" quad I have reviewed to date and Holybro have done a great job with the design and engineering of this machine. It's more expensive than the cheaper offerings but it really delivers on the promises.
Stay tuned for a flight review and comparison with the other super-fast quad I have been reviewing, the Bolt 210.
