Title: Proto X Nano Quad
Post by: markvanhaze on January 20, 2014, 07:18:23 PM
Any idea where we can buy this tiny quad besides in the US?

Looks to be identical to the Hubsan Q4 nano which is easy to get in the UK.  Very, very small!

I have one and love it!  It's a absolute blast in the house during these months that don't condone outside flying.

Standard price is $39.95 most anywhere you check here in the states.  The UK version seems to be white body with red/white props.  I want another to keep at the office.  You probably know already but the Hubsan X4 controller works perfect with this quad.  I have no use for the controller that comes with the proto, too small for most adult hands (especially if you are a stick pincher like I am..)

Banggood has a BNF version listed as coming soon.   :+

I picked up one of these, Hubsan Q4, from my local RC shop last week for 27Quid.  It's a really nice little quad, think of "Batteries Not Included". The supplied controller has three rate settings but if you fly it with the one supplied with the X4 you only get the two higher settings but you do have the advantage of being able to trim the rudder/yaw which you can't with the supplied controller.

Someone posted a few days back showing how he added a 1g camera and small 5.8GHz vTX to his example.
