My second micro quadcopter
I purchased my Dromida Verso two days after getting the Hubsan X4 H107L. I bought the Verso from The Hobby Shop in Dayton, Ohio for $37.99 on July 22, 2016. I have flown it 43 times, both indoors and outdoors. It has three speed setting: 20%, 60% and 100%. Even at low and medium speeds it is quite fast and great for the flight room. Maximum speed, for me, is restricted for outdoors, where the Verso can streak from one end of my flight field to the other in seconds. Because of its quickness, and my lack of flying experience, my Verso has crashed numerous times and has received damage to the frame. The rings that hold the motors onto the frame arms have cracked on two of the arms allowing the motors to fall out on the slightest crash or even normal landings. I put a narrow strip of duct tape around the rings covering the cracks. This has taken care of the problem - so far.
One of the nice features of the Verso is the ability to do both 180 deg. and 360 deg. flips. Holding the flip button in for two seconds switches from one type of flip to the other. After doing a 180 deg. flip, the quadcopter is obviously flying upside down. You can even take off in the upside down position. When flying inverted each motor has to turn in the opposite direction than when flying upright. This has me somewhat confused. The instruction manual's parts list shows a CW motor and a CCW motor. And, two of the motors on the Verso have black and white wires and two have red and blue ones indicating two different types of motor. But, if all the motors have to change direction after a 180 flip, there is no need for CW and CCW motors: one design will work for all four motors. Maybe the Verso is based on some previous design that did not have reversing motors.
The LEDs on the Verso can be turned off with the press of a button. I am not sure how much longer flights are with the lights off, but I turn them off when I am outdoors in the daytime. I can just barely see the quad sometimes, let alone the LEDs.
