First steps. Syma X12S

As I commented in previous post, my first contact with quadcopters was accidentally. In Kings Day I received a very little toy, Syma X12S, as a gift. It was the beginning and my first steps in the hobby. Some time later, after get considerable experience and many more flights done, I must say you I began with one of most recommendable quadcopter to begin with, maybe the best. It’s obviously a quadcopter to fly inside because of his size, but I am also sure that it’s the best way to begin, flying inside. Why? You would flight in a “very controlled area” and always with a close view of the quad.

Currently it’s very common to find a large list of microquads close to this Syma X12S, and I pretty sure that so much of these are very good to flight, but I am talking about my experience. Trust me if I tell you that choose this quad ...

This date match with a Spanish Christmas tradition named “día de los reyes magos” (Three Kings Day). Then I have received my first quadcopter. My first impression the little toy doesn’t made me feel so fortunately. It was a little Syma X12S, white painted. My first experiences were involved two short flights. Furthermore, my new little "friend" seemed to be damaged (it was). My first lookup made me feel that this play would be short in time. On the other hand, I had a previous related toy, a helicopter, that was boring almost from the beginning. Quadcopter seemed to be the same but ugliest one.  Flight after flight and crash after crash I began to drive it quite better. It was so e...
