Yes and now. The quad prop idea is, but the range of the madbull one is much further for sure. You can only get a stable flight at a range of 20 feet with the Parrot. Plus its surrounding area is styrofoam. Plus the controls are with smart phones instead of a R/C.
Either way, I want one or the other to be honest. Just to have fun with as well. I remember when I was a kid our neighbor used R/C Helicopters he said if you can take a spinning lawnmower blade and stick your finger in it without losing it, you can operate a helicopter. I still think he wasnt joking.
