The time has come for Electric Ducted Fans (EDF) to replace the old propeller thrust systems. By design, the cylindrical rotor housings add significant durability and produce less noise when carefully tuned. The Blade Inductrix ultra micro drone offers innovative technology you can fly just about anywhere and the performance edge that makes your flight experience more fun. The Blade Inductrix drone is a fun ultra-micro quadcopter that can be flown just about anywhere. Four specially tuned EDF rotor systems give this modern quad the appeal of a jet. As a result, performance feels incredibly smooth with far less noise than a conventional propeller rotor system. Durable rotor housings inherently prevent damage whether it bumps into walls or falls into the grass. Brilliant LED orientation lights and a sleek body design help keep you going in the right direction. Innovative SAFE technology with self-leveling makes staying in control easy, even if it's your first flight.

abunda_amazon_reviews The positives: After a ton of research, this little quad checked all the boxes. I have five of the little 1s batteries from helicopters, a transmitter from the Vapor and it has to fit in my carry-on luggage when I travel!!! That and it has to be maneuverable enough to fly around in a hotel room (I travel a lot for work). This little beast checks all those boxes! That and it takes a beating and keeps going. I have flown five batteries through it and it just keeps going. Crashed outside in a light wind and there was absolutely no damage done. The cons: short flight times but, that is to be expected. If you have extra batteries and a quad-charging unit, you can pretty much fly nonstop. I have gotten about 4 minute flights out of each. Not earth shattering but, it's on par for all the others out there. If you aren't paying close attention, the low battery indication light is easy to miss. Next thing you know, you are free falling from the sky. Luckily, this thing can take a hard crash. I have concrete floors and it did a complete shutdown at about eight feet. No damage. The props are really well protected by the fan guards. Really nice touch giving the second blue cover with the red one. Packaging is well done and compact. I will probably use it to transport the quad in my suitcase. The ability to hover right out of the box is perfect. My 10 year old daughter flew it with no previous flying experience. She was really excited to try and not fail!!! Big plus there. I tried the high rate and WHOA MOMMA!!! I turned that back off asap since I am not that comfortable yet. But wow, talk about responsive! I think acrobatics will certainly be possible. Overall, I am really happy I went with this one over the CX-10 or others. They may all be great but the modifications I would have had to do just to utilize all the batteries I have just made more sense to get this. It uses the E-flite MLP4DSM transmitter so, if you have an old heli or plane with one of those, you can bind right to it and save the $20 for more batteries cause you will want to fly more!!! Trust me!;;Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2015;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;What a great little quad. Checks all the boxes!!!;;Christian;;;This drone is small, works out of the box, runs for about 10 minutes, and is REALLY fun to fly. Some important notes: - If you press the RIGHT stick directly IN, you will get a beep on the controller and this HALVES the control inputs from the controller, making the micro-drone much more stable for beginner pilots. Pressing the RIGHT controller directly IN a second time disables this 'easy' mode. - If you press the LEFT stick directly IN, this disables ALL flight stability mechanisms. It's possible to do flips, rolls, etc, and is very fun, but also very difficult to fly steady. Pressing the LEFT controller directly IN a second time disables this 'advanced' mode. Now, the downsides: - The small pieces of material that hold the ducts in place tend to crack easily. It WILL fly with a few of them cracked, but after a while they will hit the fan blades and require replacement - which means complete disassembly of the micro-drone and replacing the frame with this replacement part: Blade Main Frame: Inductrix BLH8706 - If you make any number of hard landings the motors tend to slow, then die. I've replaced countless motors on my micro-drones. They seems way less durable than they should be. There are clockwise and counter clockwise motors so you will need to know which ones to purchase. You can find both here: ClockWise Inductrix Motor: Blade Motor, Clockwise Rotation: Inductrix BLH8702 CounterClockWise Inductrix Motor: Blade Motor, Counter-Clockwise Rotation: Inductrix BLH8703 I've never had to replace the control board or the blades - they seem ultra durable.;;Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2016;;3.0 out of 5 stars;;Fun & Easy to Fly but has Durability Issues;;LIAviator;;;I started going nano/micro/mini quad crazy and have bought at least 7 in the last 2 weeks. This is by far the most stable flying one and it may be due to the SAFE technology. It is pricier than the others but what you get is a much more stable hover (let go of the controls and it pretty much stays in place), much quieter due to the design, can go slower or faster depending on how comfortable you are, very durable (due to the protection around the props, I don't think I'll ever need to purchase replacements like the others), and all around fun. I learned to do turns and figure 8s with this as it was much easier. Just like with the rest, I recommend buying extra batteries. One is not enough even though it doesn't take that long to charge (20-30min?). I highly recommend and may look at other Blade Technologies drones.;;Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2015;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Best nano quad Pocket Drone, especially for beginners!;;HeadhunterJohnny
