Pros:This is a great mid entry level Quad Copter. The price can't be beat and the quality is fantastic for the price.

Cons:They posted instructions after I requested it.

Other Thoughts:I had a problem with two parts and the company replaced them with no problem. GoodLuckBuy stands behind what they sell.

Bottomline:I would recommend this to an intermediate Quad flier. There is lots to learn about the control board, but the internet is a fantastic source of information.

Happy with X525

Pros:All parts in one package, they work together well. Nut and bolt assembly is fun. Durable enough for some hard landings, repairable with common materials if necessary. A good learning quad. Online frame assembly instructions are good.

Cons:Flight controller instructions could be better. It took a couple of days to figure out how to "arm" the FC (left stick to lower right). Instructions needed for "tuning" the FC for stable flight.

Other Thoughts:Excellent value

Bottomline:Hard to beat the value for price. Everything in one package. I recommend this for the experienced aircraft pilot to get into quads. I think a pure beginner could build this, and learn to fly it if cautious, but having someone "tune" it would be needed.

Impossible to get customer service to resolve defective issues.

Cons:Defective parts prohibit the unit from working. Can not get a response from the company even after five attempts. Very poor customer service. I would not recommend this company until they get their act together.

Other Thoughts:They need a management overhaul.

Bottomline:DON'T BUY FROM THEM!

realy happy with the X525

Pros:This is a very nice kit had fun building it. my pictures are uploading for those who like it to be clean and neat. the price is what compelled me to buy the complete kit. no regrets.

Cons:the down side is there is no PDF manual, the Link doesn't work. The doc file is not too bad. would go search for images posted on the web.

Other Thoughts:I would like the ESC programming card and a few extra screws for the landing gear(hooks) with the kit even if the kit price is raised slightly.

Bottomline:All over happy with my X525. Might not be the last one.

Pros:I received the parcel in two weeks in Moscow - its very fast. I could assemble it in two hours. At first I used it with ordinary Arduino unofficial and MultiWii firmware 2.0 and its fly!!! Today I use it with Mega 256 MWC from GLB and I am happy!!!

Cons:I think nothing

Other Thoughts:I'd like to buy some accessories for this frame at GLB. It can be motor mounts, springs, plates - because first copter often crashes.

Bottomline:I will buy another products on GLB and will review them.

Good thing

Pros:The quality of the kit looks good. It's my first multicopter - so there is no real flying experience on my side, but the quad survived all "light crashes" without any damage (the "Involvment: Expert" is for the electronics and mechanics - not for flying the quad ;-p There I'm a novice).

Cons:None. All parts arrived (exept of 4 washers which had been replaced by a dead bug :-D - but if this is your hobby, you'll have some washers on stock!).

Other Thoughts:Be sure to adjust all the ESC to the same throttle courve of your remote. For this, build a little adapter which are connecting all the signal pins of the four speed controllers to the trottle pin of your receiver, all the grounds the same ground pin and only one power pin to the power pin of the receiver. Google for the ESC's manual for how to adjust the values.

Bottomline:Do all the first testing and adjustments WITHOUT the props attached! Maybe some servo reverse is needed or whatever.

No problems, no parts missing.

Pros:This kit is perfect for all skill levels of RC. Got this thing up in the air immediately after the build. I love this kit. I've got three of them!

Cons:Needs stronger motor mounts but not a deal breaker at all. Could use better packaging but also not a deal breaker. Three kits shipped and not a single broken piece.

Other Thoughts:Like any RC model with rotors/props, take caution as this can cause severe injury!

Bottomline:I would recommend this kit.

Packing is unbelievably poor!

Several parts of my kit was missing.

Other Thoughts:Its a damn pitty theyre not able to sort out these packing issues. The products are ok for the price, but when its jeopardy wether you get them or not, its a tough sell anyway.

Bottomline:If you feel lucky, go for it.

Other Thoughts:A build manual 4 the frame would be nice. need spacers 4 the legs to keep from vibrating. one motor smoked after a short flight. struggled to find out where the spacers for the power and control board plate goes...

Bottomline:A realy nice starter kit, but they realy need to quality check their pickers so all parts is in the box before shipping. after the FPV flight in this movie, the motor smoked: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6POF4yQAxsM&feature=context&context=C35e6e55UDOEgsToPDskKtyz9r2ltx69eMjXC-grxY

Cons:Parts list or packing list, drawings or building instructions are in the box. This is not a major inconvenience; the info is available on the web.

Other Thoughts:This is my first QuadCopter. I see other reviews here that say this kit is not for beginners, but I think if one is an experienced hobbyist, familiar with wiring, soldering and careful, detailed assembly work, then there is no reason why you should not attempt this kit.

Bottomline:This appears to me to be a well-designed and executed kit, delivered halfway around the world promptly, and for an amazing price. I am impressed, and I look forward to completing the assembly, programming, pre-flight testing and finally, basic flight... and then working out how to add a camera to this rig! ;-)

good starter package.

Cons:No parts list, instructions for assembly, basic usage, troubleshooting guide and no information or software included with the generic USBasp programmer.

Other Thoughts:Better suited to someone with experience in RC aviation. Overall it is a good buy and I am happy with it.

Bottomline:I wrote a few blog posts about my build and configuration that may help save someone else time and possibly money.

Pros:Very nice item in good quality. This is not for beginners, but learning by doing could be very interesting :)
My 525V3 is working with FF board instead of original KK-board. I'v got not the board on time, but the seller sand me the item immediately for free. Thanks LGB! Good service.
Quick delivery to Germany (less 1 week) - very nice.
My Quadcopter is in using every day. Great item!!!

Cons:No documentation incl. Very bad. Difficult for beginners.
The item is nice but NOT EASY!
Not as completed as should be.

Other Thoughts:Self controlled and self adjustable board (FF board) work better than standard KK-Board. See "Free Flight FF Auto Balance Controller with 3D Acceleration Sensor" Just 50 US $.

Bottomline:Very nice item. Quick delivery and good service. Be prepared for surprise ;)
Buy more props (as spare parts) on time! You will need it :)

Pros:1. The glass fiber parts are well cut - in general it is a good starter package.

2. The GWS props are very good quality
3. Motors, for unbranded ones, are nice and powerful.

Cons:1. My arms came with holes drilled on the wrong sides so had to do them again.
2. Motors in picture are not the ones you receive.
3. You have to also buy some bullet connectors for the motors and ESC's which need to be soldered on (it is not plug and play).

Other Thoughts:In general, this is a good starter pack - however, I have bought 2 of these frames (including the frame in this package) and both could not be built due to parts missing or holes drilled in wrong places.

Be prepared to have to 'fix' it.

Bottomline:Not as complete as you would believe!

Have a look at the DJI frame based package, more expensive but a better package overall!

Pros:Great all in one starter package. Comes with everything you need which matches perfectly and to get you into flight. An evenings build, and good quality frame.

Cons:Doesn't come with instructions for the frame or KK controller board, though if you refer to the pictures on Goodluckbuy it is very straightforward to build the frame. Instructions and setup for the KK board can be found at kkmulticopter.com so really no problem really.

Other Thoughts:Easy, and very non eventful build which just goes together and if you follow the pre-flight check at kkmulticopter, this quad just takes off with no drama.

Bottomline:Would totally recommend this package if you want to get into quads or just have a bit of fun at a really good price.

Pros:A really nice starter quadcopter. Nice quality build, simple and functionable. Took an evening to put together, setup and fly.

Cons:No instructions for the quadcopter frames, nor the KK controller board. Frame though was put together using the pictures on here as a reference guide. KK controller board was setup using information from the kkmulticopter.com website.

You may also need a few other cap bolts to complete. No USB programmer came in the package, though waiting for an answer to this.

Other Thoughts:As a first quadcopter, I think this is a pretty well brought together package which does the job at an excellent price. Pictures on the site show red coloured motors, though in my package they were gold, and of a different make. They still cope with ease though. Pictures also show sprung feet, though no springs in the package.

Bottomline:If you are just after a cheap all in one package, maybe your first venture into quads.. It worked for me, so would recommend this package, especially at this price.
