RE: practical ?
Nothing wrong with it... I have a V1 that copes with anything that has been thrown at it.
Just be careful with your setup and it'll be all good.
Don't trust the RTF thing because they just aint.
Best bet now is a decent TX, your going to be limited by the supplied TX although they are slightly better than E-Sky.
Enjoy your V2 and don't forget to keep your batteries warm with our weather atm.
