Cheerson CX-10WD-TX MINI WIFI RC Quadcopter

Early versions of nano Quadcopters such as the CX-10 were notorious for being difficult to fly. This is because nano drones are extremely light and have very low inertia which means they gain or lose altitude very quickly, sometimes, too quick for beginner pilots to handle. Altitude hold in nano drones simply solves this problem by making them a lot easier to handle.

The CX-10WD is available for just $39 at GeekBuying which provided the sample for this review. Besides silver, it is also available in gold and maroon.
