The FlySky Noble Pro has really impressed on me. The feeling on track is just as good as it feels holding it in your hand. With the metal frame the weight is just right to me and overall it really oozes quality. I’ve been using the Noble Pro for a few months already and I’m happy to be a part of FlySky team for 2024 and beyond.
