Here we have the brand new 180mm size 'Curve' Quadcopter from Rotor Evolution, the frame is designed from the ground up to be super light, super stable and almost indestructible.
On 850mAh 3s the quad will fly for about 4 minutes (heavy pace) and about 6 minutes in a steady fly about. The main differences I noticed with this size quad compared to the 250mm quads is its amazing lack of weight during high G turns and the fact that if you crash or hit an object 90% of the time you can just increase the throttle when its on the ground and the quad will spring back into action, the start of this video was during the middle of a flight, I had just hit the fence to my left which grounded the quad but as you can see it just sprung back into action and carried on, just how it should be, more flying and less tinkering. These flights were filmed on a Runcam HD.
You can get this frame and all the components from 'Make it Build it' here in the UK:

Due to the light weight quad during the video you can hear the throttle oscillating slowly, this is due to the throttle stick on my Taranis, I still have the ratchet action and the hover point for the quad sits right on a bump hence the throttle jumping up and down a bit.
