My favorite to date has been the micro-mosquito which in my opinion is the most well made and the most stable of all of them. At an $80 price tag though, it is a bit of an investment for those of us who just want to have a little fun. The mosquito also does not move back and forward very well. I'm happy to say that the Falcon X has excellent up/down, forward/backward, and rotational control. It is nimble and responsive.

THE NOT COOL! the electronics are fussy. You have to play around with the chanel switches, the lights and throtle to get it to think about moving at times. It didn't come with the USB charger. However, at other blogs I found out that this was a disadvantage since there was no way to find out when it was fully charged VS when you charge it on the transmitter/remote controller, the light will turn red to let you know you're ready to fly. DO NOT FLY THIS TO THE POINT WHERE THE CHARGE COMPLETELY DIES! THE COOL! It's fun to learn on this. Fairly stable, haven't had to use the adjusting knob. Accelerates/Decelerates pretty well.
