I got these Eachine EO12's for me and Harry to mess about with, they were only cheap, but was still annoyed as the battery socket is recessed into the plastic frame so you cannot plug battery in far enough for it not to fall out, and as it fouls the battery mounting slot, you have to press battery in squashing wires so would stress/break the battery wires pretty quickly.
Not hard to fix with a dremel, but RTF shouldn't mean Ready To Fix imho - Harry was very excited to fly them so included some flying bits at end.
I would not recommend the EO12 to anyone, I paid £10 each with some points, but there are better options around for that price, that will work out of the box so I don't feel these are good value or a good choice.
