All of the buttons have a conclusive and strong “click” to them, making sure the picked input is secured. The exact same opts for the flight mode switch.

The aluminum dials along the top of the remote controller are similarly quality-made and fluid.

The develop quality even travels through to the extraordinary spring-loaded flight sticks, which are a pleasure to fly with.
