Blade 350 QX. A Fair and Balanced review. Compare to Walkera QRX 350 and DJi Phantom side by side

WARNING! BEWARE OF BAD STOCK PROPS! Post script! I mentioned the 350 is fantastic but the PROPS ARE TERRIBLE in this video before the masses found out the same thing. Now, you all know they are. Get New props before you fly this, is my opinion. *Not a "fair weather test" ! Very windy as usual, but the Sun is out, so this is the kind of test that people who live in windy areas would want to see, including me. Finally receiving the Blade 350QX Quad, I decided to compare it with a "fly off" test in the "return to home" mode between the DJI Phantom and the Walkera QRX 350. The Blade setup, if you buy it bind and fly, takes a bit of time and studying. I had an unusual problem, with my gear switch physically reversed in the TX, but after calling Horizon and getting the expert help, I found that out. I tuned it around and all was well.
It is very important to set up your throttle cut switch to work and also note, the Blade motors will not start if you do not have the throttle trim tab set 2 clicks forward, (or increased from the half way point 2 clicks). Also note the props seem brittle, and it would be wise to get extras. Also, note the Agility mode is not for the weak of heart and will undoubtedly get your attention. I like it and it makes for another nice addition to my camera quads.
