got a drone from xmass!

[Draco]

a friend gave me a lightly used qudacopter, it's an entry level one made by world tech toys, it's the RTR interceptor http://www.amazon.com/4-5-2-4-GHz-In...ct_top?ie=UTF8

being my first drone i was wondering if spare parts for these are around? mainly the blades and breakable parts, right now it's being flown with out the foam rings because we cant seem to find the bottom clips that hold that on, i have never flown one and i only have one spare set of blades. i know you guys have mentioned a web site that sells parts but for the life of me i cant remember the what site it was?.

One that we use regularly is banggood.com. For more expensive birds, there is another called HobbyKing.com.

sweet, my next question, does this thing need to be registered with the FAA? it weights just over 250grams with the foam shroud on? and when i mean just at the limit as i understand it, it's 251g

I've spend a few grand with them over the past 2 years. Yeah, they are legitimate, despite the sketchy name. Good prices, but as others have said: the shipping can be slow from China (potentially 3 to 4 weeks at worst). But lately some of their more popular items are being stocked in their US warehouse, so if you order one of those items you will get it much faster.

I Agree... I've not yet had a serious problem with Banggood or HobbyKing in the past 6 years.
As has been said, the only downside to the spectacular savings is the slow shipping and
the occasional damaged item after the long route from China that I can live with.
