They sent me this quad for free. \u00a0I am not the type of person that is influenced by free stuff. \u00a0I get asked to do a review, and I will give it my honest opinion. \u00a0Free or not.<\/p>\n<p>The quad sells for $23CAD ($16USD) with free shipping. \u00a0A video review is posted below.\u00a0 In short, for the price, it&#8217;s a nice little quad. \u00a0It uses the same remote that most of the other mini\/micro quads use. \u00a0It has a 6 axis gyro and comes with headless mode. I did a quick flight test and that tiny battery holds up for about 5-7 minutes of flying &#8211; which is typical for these size quads.<\/p>\n<p>Update: \u00a0 I managed to get more flying time with the quad and I am impressed. \u00a0 It is no racer, but great for family fun. \u00a0I got headless mode figured out and oddly it&#8217;s not for me. \u00a0Maybe for the kids&#8230; \u00a0I am used to flying my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.plastibots.com\/index.php\/2015\/11\/24\/250-carbon-fibre-quad-build\/\" target=\"_blank\">custom<\/a>\u00a0quad in standard mode and am accustomed to keeping it oriented correctly, so headless mode feels strange to me. \u00a0I am also used to flying FPV which makes a big difference. \u00a0I am again impressed with the flight time on this little battery. \u00a0If you have spare batteries, it&#8217;s easy to swap in a replacement which will give you lots of play time. \u00a0I also like the prop protectors &#8211; this is a must have for inexperienced flyers. It will save your quad as well as limit any harm to people\/animals. \u00a0Of course, it does not mean you can go chasing people around to try and cut their hair&#8230; \u00a0It is a mini quad of course, so other than a few nicks, it&#8217;s pretty harmless. \u00a0Check out the video below for more&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rcmoment.com\/?aid=C59\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5055 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.plastibots.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Rcmoment-1-300x83.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"83\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.plastibots.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Rcmoment-1-300x83.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.plastibots.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Rcmoment-1-768x213.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.plastibots.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Rcmoment-1-1024x284.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.plastibots.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Rcmoment-1.jpg 1454w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Review: JJRC H36 2.4G 4CH 6-Axis Gyro RC Quadcopter\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/50-HGlOudR8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rcmoment.com\/rtf-ready-to-fly--1994\/p-rm6707bl.html?aid=C59\" target=\"_blank\">JJRC H36 2.4G 4CH 6-Axis Gyro RC <\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Pros:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Well packaged with bubble wrap.<\/li>\n<li>Price is reasonable.<\/li>\n<li>Shipping came in 3 days via DHL. However, I believe this was simply because I was provided the unit for review. I believe standard shipping is via surface and you should expect 3-6 weeks. \u00a0I have not bought much from RC Moment, so not sure how fast they actually ship. \u00a0If someone can weigh in on the comments, I will update this note.<\/li>\n<li>Instructions are well written and easy to follow. \u00a0If translation was done, it was done well.<\/li>\n<li>Prop protection helps protect the blades.<\/li>\n<li>The quad and prop protectors are flexible so it avoids breakage. I have hit the wall and floor over 10 times in the first few minutes of testing &#8211; and it is still working fine.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Throttle had a tiny nub from the plastic mold that caused it to catch at full throttle. \u00a0It was easily removed with a knife, but good to check for these sort of things before powering up something like this.<\/li>\n<li>Lots of plastic in the packaging &#8211; I look forward to the day when\u00a0using recyclable materials for packaging is universal. \u00a0There are many clever ways cardboard can be used to protect products. \u00a0Plastics should be banned.<\/li>\n<li>Word of warning &#8211; the plastic on these things don&#8217;t like cold. \u00a0My son took it outside to give it a try &#8211; when the temp was -12C. Before I had a chance to think about it, he was back in talking about it making &#8216;strange noises&#8217;&#8230; \u00a0 Well, the becomes as brittle as potato chips&#8230; \u00a0The parts surrounding the props and one of the motor mounts broke when he crash landed it a few times. Time to break out the crazy glue.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I am going to do some more flight tests and report back on the performance if this little sucker. \u00a0For the time being, if you are interested, you can buy the quad <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rcmoment.com\/rtf-ready-to-fly--1994\/p-rm6707bl.html?aid=C59\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I always like opportunities to try out new gadgets&#8230; \u00a0RCMoment sent me this cool little mini quad to try out &#8211; \u00a0JJRC H36 2.4G 4CH 6-Axis Gyro RC Quadcopter. \u00a0First thing&#8217;s first &#8211; full disclosure. \u00a0I don&#8217;t have any vested interest in RC Moment.
