My journey to the world of quadcopters - S03 quad Part 1

Usually if i have something new, i just right away use it without reading any instructional manual. I've owned numerous gadgets and toys, treated the same way once i got them on my hand.
But this new toy that I've got recently got me more excited, co'z its my first venture into quad copters. I've flown (and crashed) rc copters, but this one is different. In the first place, i have so little info about the model that it is more of a risk in buying it.

Lets cut the intro and talk about this new toy that I've got. The quad that I'm going to delve into(deeply) is called S3 Quad copter (non camera version).
