Large brushed quadcopters are perfect for those looking to learn how to fly without autonomous support, improving orientation and of course for crashing, the FQ02W is no exception and we have just enjoyed reviewing it.
At less than $60/£55, the FQ02W gives experienced drone pilots that satisfying feeling of being in control of something fairly large whilst not having to be overly concerned about crashing it.
The FQ02W does not have the most memorable model name, the manufacturer is call FQ777 which complicates the scenario further still, but they have produced a budget quad of decent quality.
This brushed and folding quad is durable and takes an impact with ease, it also generates plenty of smiles and laughs whilst doing so as you will see in our full video review below.
