This is the Kyosho ZEPHYR Readyset Quadcopter Racer Drone with a 2.4GHz Radio System, Flight Battery and Battery Charger. Unlike existing drones that are difficult to control, this sensational drone racer is controlled like an R/C car with a pistol-grip transmitter. Takeoff and auto-hover with one-touch control using ultrasonic sensors that remove the frustration of learning complicated flying techniques. Now you can experience the fun of drone flying at your own pace.


Speeds over the ground just like a Hoverboard
The drone racer is equipped with advanced ultrasonic sensors, 6-axis gyroscope (3-axis angle speed sensors, 3-axis acceleration sensors), barometric pressure sensor and four fast response mini coreless motors. Speed switching function provides a choice between “Easy Mode” and “Active Mode” and delivers direct intuitive flight control.

Altitude is automatically maintained with ultrasonic and barometric pressure sensors. Altitude setting of 35cm or 60cm can be selected with a switch on the R/C system and one-touch control is used for takeoff, hovering and landing. The drone racer is not designed for high altitude performance, but instead, for people to enjoy safe flying near the ground.

This Drone is totally loads of fun, everything works on it and got it half price on sale. Pretty cool how you can adjust the speed with different gears and tuning the propellers. Looking forwards to some racing with some friends. Thanks Amain !!

Kyosho ZEPHYR Quadcopter Drone Racer Readyset (Black)
I received this item and it was defective. I Immediately contacted A Main Hobbies via their “ Chat Now” feature and emailed a video to an A Main Customer Service rep who promised to get in contact with me. That did not occur.

I then called A Main Customer Service, and after waiting on hold for over 10 minutes, I spoke with another Customer Service rep who told me that I had to contact Kyosho for any issues. I explained that I purchased the item new from A Main Hobbies, and A Main sent me a defective item and was responsible for making things right. The rep said he would talk with the “ Returns” department and call me back. Once again, I did not get a return call.

Unfortunately, it appears that A Main Hobbies does not care about its customers. I have been buying RC items from A Main since 2012. This will be my last purchase from A Main as they clearly don’t value customers.
