In part 1 of this review I take a close look at what you get for your money when you buy the top-of-the-line Runner 250 RTF racing quadcopter package from Walkera. As usual, Walkera come close to hitting the mark but there are some annoying deficiencies: - weak frame design - a "flip of death" problem with the ESC/motor combo - only one set of props (really????) - no CW/CCW nuts to allow the use of other brand props - a very marginal charger - reliance on an 8xAA battery holder for the Devo 7 transmitter - absolutely awful 5.8GHz antennas for the FPV gear - failsafe set to "fly away" out of the box On the plus side: - everything you need (bar 8 AA batteries) is included in the box - it really is "ready to fly" -- just charge/fit batteries and props - an OSD is included - nice touches such as tools and trainer lead - the FPV googles (Goggle 2) are surprisingly good The flight test and other information can be found in part 2 of this review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFE1bBX6GY4
