Few advices first:
WARNING: modes are not preset, when armed, quad will be in acro mode ([U]no self leveling[/U])
Beginners should set modes before first flight, see post #2.
Do not buy 3S batteries, buy 4S. 3S batteries on this quad are just throwing money. If one super beginner should be afraid of 4S power there is a way to make 4S feel like 3S, please see HERE.
Stock props are bad, buy DAL Cyclone props, they are the best, if they are too expensive than buy Kingkong 5x4x3 props, they are good and really cheap.
Do not use self level, immediately start flying in acro mode, and get yourself some simulator for practicing (simulator USB interface)(HOTPROPS simulator is free).

5.8G 40CH VTX Chanel list:
PROS:
* Light - only 324g w/o lipo
* Frame
* Clean build
* RTF
* Nice design
* BetaFligh SW on FC
CONS:
* VBAT is not connected
* No manual. My Eachine QX70 came with beautiful detailed color manual, Falcon should come with one also...
* No EU plug or adapter
* No OSD
* No buzzer
* Modes are not set
* 6th CH not connected to FC (it would be useful, for example: ch5 for arming and ch6 for mode selection)
* Not so happy HD camera mount, should be higher so HD cam can clear props. Easy fix with 3D printed riser.
* RC RX antenna not protected
* Receiver is mounted outside the frame
Quick unboxing video:
TODO:
* DVR of flight with everything stock
* DVR of flight with 4S battery and DAL Cyclone props
* Check of stock PIDs
* Check of FPV cam and VTX performance and image quality
