This video is definitely the best in terms of editing and entertainment, amazing dude, that intro was awesome, im seriously impressed. I dont doubt it took a long time to put together, as always tho, definitely was worth it.
I didnt expect this, hm, product, to be reviewed by you.
Pretty bad from what i can see, but I didnt expect more from something made out of Lego bricks. And that price, ugh, makes everything so much worse. Oh well, hopefully they will improve, potential is still here. I wish them only good, concept itself is awesome.

Great video and review. You are right, I think they missed the mark. The brick should have been set up to fly for a noobie. And it appears Glue is needed which takes the point away from the whole kit.

great video and review its just that when u super glue all the bircks together its so much more fun and also the hexo copter and octo copter are the easiest to fly and they dont explode on take off (ive changed it by removing tail and windscreen and supegluing the mainframe but not the flight thingy and the motor arms :D)

As a user of FlyBrix, I have to say that your video was indeed entertaining. I've also been successful in a few custom builds. Head to the FlyBrix Forums and check em out. Also, some rubber bands work wonders!

I'm glad you appreciated the depth of software support and instructions provided, I hope you'd try the new build and firmware and tell us what you think.

love your videos! sorry this model was sort of a flop :-\. I had a question for you (if you have the time to reply); if you had to pick the best small quadcopter out of all those reviewed, which one would you choose? I'm trying to buy a more reliable small one to play with and the one I bought seems to have a lot of problems.

thanks for any response!

Another entertaining and informative video!
Bummer about the product though. Such promise it shows.

I laughed so hard my arms and legs fell off !! ....
PS: did you tell a joke or tickle this machine at lift off time ?? ;)
PPS: Glue crossed my mind too, so why not the manufacturers' mind ?

Maybe they should include a tube of super glue.
