I've been looking for a good flying tiny quad for indoor use, and had a chance to look at (but not fly) Chris's Ladybird. I've been waiting for a sign as to whether or not to get it, and here it is. I know other people here have been looking for a good quality small indoor quad, so I thought I would mention it here.
I'm interested in the included transmitter, which includes two-way telemetry (not supported by the Ladybird, as far as I can tell). You can get it with either a Mode 1 or Mode 2 transmitter, or as a bind-and-fly if you already have a Walkera.

OIC @CrashingDutchman, TYVM!
I don't have a buddy code for this stuff yet, as I haven't bought it, I get it now. So my only one is currently is for one of the Accucel-6 chargers.
There are some buddy codes for the props available here: http://hk.rc-international.info/swarm
Specifically what I found: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewitem.asp?idproduct=...

HTH! LMK (anyone) if you want my accucel-6 buddy code too, I don't think it's appropriate to post it here to this unrelated bit. ;)
@Adam: Here is information how to use the buddy code system: http://www.rc-international.info/Blog/post/The-new-Hobbyking-Swarm-...
@Mark: You didn't list the spare props:

Sorry, no buddy code, haven't figured that bit of HK out yet.
Buddy codes, what a great idea! Here's the codes I got. I ordered a set of all the spare parts they had. I hope they soon stock the arm/motor assemblies.

That's an amazing price -- I paid $150 for mine! This this is totally fun and I recommend it highly. At this price it's a steal.
if you buy it with buddy codes, then you can get it for less than $ 93 (the RTF versions, normal price is US$ 99). I found one buddy code here: http://hk.rc-international.info/swarm
