The Ladybird is an impressive machine: the V2 is nearly as cheap as any nanoquad and you have full manual control of rolls and flips (not available on vast majority of RTF nanos and minis). It can provide fun and challenge for a long time. There is no real autolevel though and the performance is on par with other nanos, so it's a bit more limited than real quads. It is quite a challenge to master, but if you can fly well on this thing and do acro, then flying a bigger acroquad with say KK2 will feel like child's play. The craft is quite robust too, and the modular construction is very good. I was flying it for weeks before I needed spare parts, besides a prop or two. Heartily recommended for anybody who wants to learn some serious flying skills!
As a newbie, this was my first time flying in winter conditions. -6C and the arctic twilight (the sun goes down at 3pm in Southern Finland); the ladybird still worked perfectly, battery duration was just a bit short. I was using my glove/mitt hybrids and the transmitter muff from Turnigy, http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__20697__Turnigy_Transmitter_Muff_Red.html, which proved surprisingly warm. Looking forward to more winter flying when the new quad is complete!
