New toy in the house: Eachine Turbine QX70 70mm micro quad. Easiest to describe it is Tiny Whoop (Inductrix) clone. This BNF format is for those who don't have time, don't have skill, just don't want to or can't build their own micro. Quad is configured in factory and should have optimal PID settings in CF (dump of original settings is in attachment). Great feature on this micro quad is ducted fans that should produce more thrust, and also to protect the propellers. Here is quick unboxing video with few pictures in the end. Packet arrived very quickly to Croatia from Banggood via Expedited Shipping Service (DHL), it took 8 days.

Build quality looks good, props move freely, they don't touch ducts. Grab your BNF version at BG http://goo.gl/qxOeTJ or frame kit http://goo.gl/oha7n0 For now: PROS:

modern F3 FC (CF onboard, can be flashed with BF for better acro style flying)
price
good FPV camera
plug type motor leads for easy solder less replacement
integrated receiver, 3 popular options (frsky, flysky, dsm2/dsmx) - you get everything you need for the start of yours indoor adventures
BNF kit - already built quad
extra set of props, battery and charger
props are protected

CONS:

FPV antenna is exposed so there is big chance for it to be damaged in crash
would be great if there was included one more battery and 2 spare motors like some other kits
