Mine freezes for a second or so every now and again, which unless just hovering generally leads to a crash. Once I figured it out (blackbox clearly shows all the outputs from the receiver suddenly freezing while everything else keeps working) I replaced it with a different receiver and everything works fine. Found others with the issue on A8S which this is a clone of. This is going in the bin. If you're spared that problem I guess it's fine? It would be so much better if the connector was on the same side as the antenna connector and bind button though; as it is it isn't flat so you won't get as good coverage with foam tape to adhere to the frame as you would otherwise. I recommend getting something else, like the RX2A Pro V1 which is only marginally more expensive but seemingly far better, both in design and performance.

I'm using the 160mm version for a 4 inch build and it's quite nice to fly. The arms seem very strong and the carbon is cut in the right orientation. The issue with the frame, which I was aware of when I bought it, is the design of the hub. The fact that nylon standoffs are used as structural parts is fatal in a crash; they will shear and you will need extensive repairs, every time. It's happened to me twice in two days, and both times I've been stuck with a piece of threaded nylon inside a metal standoff and had to spend a good amount of time to use a heat gun to melt it out. After that you have to somehow piece it all together again with new standoffs without completely disassembling the entire top part, which, speaking of, is a pain to put together. The holes in the side plates are too small for the cable ties, making it very arduous and somewhat dangerous since you have to pull with quite a lot of strength to get them through. In my latest repair I left the few that were still whole (because yes, they will break quite easily, so stock up on cable ties as well as nylon standoffs) and just put cable ties around the entire side plate instead, weaving the big holes. It is light. The arms are strong. But there are equally light frames with equally strong arms with which you don't have to go through the royal pain that this hub design results in. I'm going to get a different frame when I get the opportunity and migrate the parts, despite this one being in perfect condition. Just not worth the hassle to put together if it comes apart again in the next crash.

I have no complaints in particular about how they fly, they seem fine, the problem with them is that in a crash the blade shears right off at the hub. I think out of ten crashes only once did not at least one prop break in that very way, and often two did. I guess the upside is you'll always have new props on, because it's either new or completely broken with these.
