The basic operation of the copter in not hard, but orientation is difficult, especially if panic sets in and your judgment becomes impaired. I lost my first quad this way when I flew it into a 100 foot pine tree. This tree is in my neighbor's front yard. Most people who lose one of these never see it again or it becomes hung it a tree in distant lot somewhere. I see it every day....it just "waves" at me as the wind blows the propellers around. It is so high (about 75 feet), and I only paid $50 for the unit. I hate to lose anything, but to pay a tree service $200 to get it out does not make sense. My neighbor tried to pull it down using a junior bow and arrow and sling shot--but it is still hung up there. The sight of the unit is painful reminder not to let a copter get too far ahead of me--keep it close and stand behind it so not loose orientation (my second one is a Syma X5-SC1 which does not have the no heads function). I tell other folks who listen to misfortune that it "mocks" me. It looks down on me knowing that I can't get it out.

If I had a chance to request a firmware feature, it would be a headless mode that you can switch off and then switch back on with the heading saved (if they don't already operate this way). That would be really useful to folks like me that get into trouble and can't see the QC well enough to tell what's going on when it's at a distance. Maybe that is what is already available in those that offer a 'return to home'. If so, one with it belongs at the top of my list.

Used to go out with a metal detector, or just eyeballs, looking for valuables dropped by people. Now, back to just using eyeballs, looking for lost quads! Won't be long, that will be a goldmine!
