RE: question about the phantom
OK, the Hobbyzone Firebird Phantom is a $60 RTF electric that comes with everything. TX and all.
It appears it has some settings that can be switched on or off that are advertised to protect beginners from crashing. That's what the advertising seems to imply as an answer to your question.
It apparently has a gyro in it that is like an autopilot that overrides beginner mistakes. And a switch for that. That's what they were talking about.
