Eachine CG023 Mini Quadcopter
In case that a Nano Drone is too small for you and you don’t want to go to the expense of buying a Micro RC Quadcopter then this latest Eachine CG023 Mini quadcopter could be the perfect choice for you.
Eachine CG023 is a remote controlled flying fun. It’s so small that you can actually take it with you everywhere. You can fly it both indoor and outdoor.
This quadcopter is extremely light and flexible. A definite plus is that this RC Quadcopter comes with a decent sized Remote Control Transmitter. The RC Transmitter lets you to set three different speed modes 20, 60 and 100% depending on your level of experience. This makes this RC Quadcopter Mini Drone perfect for beginners who want to practice this exciting Hobby. We must say at this point that the Eachine CG023 Mini Drone is super responsive to the commands so it is advised to fly low and fly slow until you are used to it.
The Eachine CG023 Mini Drone has a unique design shape.
This makes it larger than the traditional size of Micro Drones that fit in the palm of your hand. Micro Drone the Hubsan X4 H107 V2 RC Quadcopter is approximately 8.5 centimetres square (9 centimetres motor to motor diagonally) yet the Eachine CG023 Mini Drone is listed at 17 centimetres.
The Hubsan X4’s motors are powered by a 380 mAh lipo battery whereas the Eachine uses a 3.7V 150 mAh lipo battery. It therefore must be extremely lightweight in construction.
It seems that there are a couple of ways of enabling the Mini Drone flip or acrobatic mode according to the supplied RC Quadcopter Mini Drone manual. It says that if you are an experienced flyer then click the orientation button first followed by the flip button and the Mini Drone will flip it the direction you push the stick. This they say should be done in 100% speed mode. If you are a beginner then you should get the Mini Drone hovering at a height of approximately 3 meters then press the roll/flip button and it will automatically flip over.
