| You will not regret getting a Quark, yea it is a lot up front, I kept looking and hoping it was worth it, but when you first fly it you realize it is a whole different machine.
I read all the articles and the ones about beefing up the blades and all, I have not done the tape on the blades thing because I rarely break the blades. If you have a smooth surface like the street or sidewalk to take off and land on and you can land a cp or Trex without tipping you probably will not break many blades.
The quark does not fly like the cx2, or any other heli, it is the first heli I have had that I just charge the bats and fly and repeat over and over and over. I fly it around objects, high up, over trees and even behind things for brief seconds out of sight, it is so stable. I fly with a breeze outside with little affect, If you are comfortable with cp's the quark is a fun little heli.
Con's - The only bad thing I have found with the quark so far is I am not forced to be as sharp all the time. Therefore when I fly my Trex I have to be cautious and not fly it like my quark. I cannot of course fly my Trex around objects and as far away over the street, the Trex can get away from me faster and I need a little open ground for recovery if I make a slight miscalculation, not really so with the quark.
Sometimes I enjoy flying the quark slow and smooth, it does this very easily, and people that watch are surprised when I do push the controls, it is like a rocket if you want to go fast, but still under good control.
I have at least 50 flights on my quark now, with one good crash, I flew directly over myself while standing by my house and a wind caught it and I dumb thumbed it, broke all the blades, took almost 5 minutes before I was flying again.
If you get it you will love it!!!
