i'm not too much into multirotors but this one caught my eye because of the reviews and the price
only : $36.98 USD or $42.99 USD for the upgraded version.
I got several models but i always got them on sale
or mainly because they're low priced, for example the mini-cuckoo balsa plane complete set
(kit,prop,motor,ESC,battery,servos) all included for $20, wich i got 4 time this model
because just the electronics are worth more then $20.
The target of interest is called the
Hubsan X4 (H107), it's a RTF but it also comes in BNF.
Here's the video that lead me to buy it.

NOTA:
- 1-the included transmitter has Dual Rates, High rate set at 90%
& low rate at 50% (better set it at 45%).
2- it is not a Traxxas QR-1 clone, actually the Hubsan X4 was on the
market before the Traxxas X-1, both Traxxas & Hubsan share the same provider on this one.

Aside of the price, a great buying factor is that a multitude of parts are available.
Also different color canopies, props, etc.
So i got me the upgraded version H107L with the 5x 380mah battery, charging cable, extra screws &
a tool to remove the props, all for under $65 USD.
I never shopped before at Banggood.com but it's like DealExtreme but with much more RC choice.
lots of 4ch helis & many quads. parts very very cheap example: 30A ESC (no brand) $6.80 USD
& it's free shipping.
Many videos are available on Youtube; unboxing, reviews, mods, etc.
