Great little indoor (and outdoor on low wind) copter! Powerfull almost acrobatic, should be 3cell capeable. Use of brushless motors increases the efficiency here!
Definitly the best indoor copter I've tested so far in this class below 10cm (83mm motor to motor).
One of the best features: you can fly this almost anywhere and stay legal. You can't possibly harm someone with this tiny drone, but the flying feels good, locked in and controllable - gives you a good FPV feeling!

TIPS, Mods:
==========
Remote is setup nice, maybe you wanna adjust the expo/rates.
Binding to Taranis was a huge gain for me (more precision).
Binding is easy, just power on copter without remote - it goes into bind mode. Then use BIND option in Taranis with D8 mode...
Antenna / Videolink:
200mw get wasted here because the antenna is flat mounted under the board beneath the battery - terrible placement!
Remove Battery cage, use velcro instead and get Antenna out (careful). Increases range and quality, will not decrease the multipathing here since it's a linear antenna...
Control Link:
had no issues / failsafes in my flights but I wasnt that far out...
Feet / structural integrity:
use some foam to have the landing gear protected against hard landings (which will transfer too much stress to the motor arms).
Maybe also use some foam ontop the copter.
Ducts of props are made of durable plastic!
