Hobbyking have a ARF Quadcopter. Capable of aerobatic maneuvers! Just add your transmitter and fly.I think its a great idea with the trainer port module.

the syma x1 flies great wih a turnigy 9x Micheal and that TX put my spektrum stuff to shame and left them on a shelf gathering dust!
the hobbyking q-bot flies nice after modification

Love the fact that we get to use our own transmitter.
Maybe this could be done to other modules.Let people use any radio with any module
Costs almost the same as the syma one. The syma quad isn't compatible with a "real" transmitter though.
I was looking for a toy like this to have fun indoors for a while... I had an mSR before but it's broken and discontinued... and the new model is a tad expensive.
I just ordered one :)
