very sporty quad…amazing yaw rate at 100% User Manual is really tough to figure out for any newbs out there…many common elements to other quad controls, but there are some surprises (you set yaw level by pushing/clicking on throttle stick; do flips by pressing on centered pitch/roll stick, then move stick in desired direction of flip.) Still trying to figure out which of the many buttons actually affects trim…it has a hard time sitting still. No spare blades for sale yet, and they have a quality control there…one of mine flew apart with no collision on maiden voyage indoors…now I only have one more back-up for that pitch blade. It comes with four spare blades…two for each of the different pitches (quads have two right-hand pitch blades, and two left-hand pitch) Hope they fix that blade quality problem, or start selling spares. LEDs are of little help in orientation…all four corners blink red AND blue, so you never know which are front, and which are back. There is a “headlight” in the front, though, so that is some help unless you are in bright sunlight. Nice light show in low light, though…psychedelic nacelle lighting is a gas, gas…yeah.

The LS-124 is a highly maneuverable somewhat twitchy quadcopter that has a superfast yaw rate that makes for very tight funnels and pirouettes. However, this yaw rate makes it easy for lesser experience pilots to over control turns leading the quad to spinout and most likely crash while attempting a tighter high speed banked turns. For pure acrobatics this is great quad for intermediate and advanced pilots. The design lends itself easily for modification and user enhancements.

One caveat with this quad is, while it has LEDs for night flight, the implantation of the lights doesn’t lend itself to assist the pilot in determining the quad’s directional orientation by using the LEDs alone as the colors flash alternating red and blue on both the front and rear. This is inconsistent with most quads and make determining orientation with the LEDs challenging. With that in mind, brand new pilots would find this quad difficult to master quickly.

The LS-124 transmitter is cross compatible with the LS-111 quadcopter also made by Lian Sheng. I have personally confirmed this feature.
