Perfect gateway to FPV!
If you’ve never flown an FPV drone in Acro mode, this is one of the best tickets to the sport.Pros1) long flight time (up to 8 minutes) is very useful for beginners as most of this time you’ll be walking to pick it up2) it’s built like a tank. I’ve lost count of times I smashed mine into obstacles or ground. It still flies! Unbelievable.3) Besides acro, there are two more forgiving modes. If you’re an absolute beginner, you’ll absolutely appreciate them4) Decent goggles that go over glasses and can record your flight5) Everything is pre-bound and is ready to fly out of the box. Can you put together a better kit from other components? Yes. At this price point? Mmm… Maybe. But the learning curve? You’ll need to know a lot to pull together a similar kit by yourself.6) Good customer support from BetaFPVCons:1) When you get the hang of Acro, you’ll discover Aquila’s limitations. But hey, it’s not a racing drone! It’s an entry level drone that delivers tons of fun and lets you learn FPV. If you begin to feel really limited by Aquicla16, then it has served its purpose and you’re ready to move onto something more serious.2) No buzzer. Would be nice for beginners.3) Camera is good only in good sunlight. Dusk makes it unusable.4) Can’t configure it in BetaFlight. But if you know what BetaFlight is, you’re not a beginner 🙂

Handles well even in the wind
Much better than the smaller one sold by betafpv. Batteries last longer. Handling is better. Goggles are lighter and clearer (that might be my imagination). Was really easy to learn to get good fast. Doesn’t fly away in the wind

Know what to expect
This is an updated review after receiving a new drone from BetaFPV. I’ll say that customer service is great from them. I got this kit to learn to fly FPV, the first drone I got was the whole kit from Amazon and the drone itself was plagued with issues. It would yaw out super hard if you pushed it, like >360° yaw washouts. It was like hitting a banana peel on Mario Cart. It would also randomly disarm itself, and that’s how I lost the first drone. I contacted BetaFPV and this is why I’m updating my review. They were very helpful and sent me a new quad with two new batteries. They told me that they would test the drone before sending it and it seems like they did what they said. The new drone operates way better and I’m assuming this is closer to how it’s supposed to be. Just don’t expect this thing to be an FPV racing style drone. It’s what is called a cinewhoop and they are designed to fly smooth, and slower than a freestyle drone. A big part of why my old drone was messing up is because I was expecting too much out of it. I tried to push it to fly fast/smooth and this drone doesn’t like it but I adjusted my flight style and have achieved fast smooth. You have to fly properly though, like using roll and yaw in the turns to prevent the drone yawing out of control. I posted a video on this review showing some of the flight issues on the new drone. After this one disarm it hasn’t done it again. Flying inside is a dream with this drone and outside is a blast as long as the wind isn’t too strong. Just remember that this drone is constantly trying to keep itself level and it will fight you if you push it too hard. This is a good starter kit, just remember it don’t like going fast.

Controller unuseable in under a week
I received this kit a < a week from this review and the controller shipped with my Aquila is already unusable.This kit would be a total grand slam for someone looking to get into FPV. However, I am giving 2 stars because the controller gimbals are so poor in quality. This is a widely known fact, but I assumed since some reviews were so dated and possibly exaggerating the issue, but after less than 2 days of flying in the simulator using the Literadio2 I started getting some jitter on the bottom of my throttle stick, okay no worries its rarely at the total bottom, except when you cannot arm your drone because the jitter won't let the value hit 0. With a little recalibration I could work past it UNTIL the other gimbal started jittering and as my skill has increased the jitter has made flying in the simulator or with the Aquila impossible. If I wasn't prepared to purchase a real controller this issue might be enough to dissuade me from continuing to learn how to pilot FPV.The goggles and drone are both great. I have crashed the drone on every surface of my house and it is a little scratched up but holding together, and the video quality on the goggles is better than I expected. I just wished that the controller was as solid. I'm now stuck coming out of pocket 100+ dollars for a controller to continue eliminating any savings gained by going with a bundle.
