    Imax B6AC

    That JJRC H31 is a super fun quad to fly. I have several of them and they are very durable. Great beginner quad. The iMax is a quality charger but as you mention you're only using single cell Lipos at this point. Here's another decent charger to consider. Charges four batteries at a time and...

    Nihui U807 modifications thread.

    QUOTE="u807control, post: 42131, member: 9624"]Oh that's almost good news then. Hmm. Perhaps they're different versions of the quad ? I'd really like to fly em both.. Wondering if there's anything i can do to make it bind 2 both. Thanks for the reply. P Can’t think of anything other than the...

    Nihui U807 modifications thread.

    Hmm...that doesn't sound right to me at all. I have both white and black versions and have flown them with the same transmitter. Many times. In fact I bought the black one as a BNF so it didn't even come with a transmitter. Flew fine with my existing one. Makes me wonder if there's another issue?

    Syma X5C WiFi antenna and battery

    The Syma transmitter antenna fix is well-known and there have been several threads here on it. But there's an easier path, one that I did after considering adding the pigtail to the transmitter. The Syma X8C transmitter will bind to your X5C-1 with no problem. It's a better overall transmitter...

    New and Yet to Buy a Quadcopter

    You're not unlike hundreds of other new quad flyers out there. Multiple crashes, tough landings and, yes, lost drones in trees and on roof tops. It's not supposed to be easy. You have to practice, practice, and then practice some more. And breaking it up into baby steps is advised. Just fly out...

    Syma x5c-1 Removing Stabilization?

    Seems like the wrong approach. The Syma is what it is. Why not just buy one of the many sportier, faster, trickier, pick your own terms quads that are out there?

    Syma X5HW can fly ony one time

    Suggestion: Get yourself a better charger. For those one-cell Lipos this is a decent charger. Should be 50 bucks or less if you shop around. http://hitecrcd.com/products/chargers/acdc-chargers/x4-micro-acdc-1-cell-lipo-charger/product

    JJRC J1000 battery???

    It's a fun little quad. I have a couple of them. I do think that the Hubsan batteries will fit although I agree that you don't want to assume. As posted above there of plenty of sources for JJRC 1000 batteries.

    JJRC J1000 battery???

    Here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-x-Quantity-of-JJRC-1000-2-4GHz-3-7v-240mAh-Lipo-Battery-Rechargeable-Pow-U1DF-/132076738103?hash=item1ec0631637:g:lBcAAOSwnHZYikeO Edit: And I assume you mean the JJRC 1000 quad? No "J" before the 1000.

    Crashed drone!! AND LOST FOOTAGE?!

    Just a shot in the dark but I've had several Symas (various models) that came with bad SD cards and acted as you described. I went out and just got my own better quality cards and they work fine.

    Range mod now no lcd display or beeping X5HC solid light

    Sorry about that. My mistake. I just realized you've got the Syma X5HC. That's the one with altitude hold, right? I thought you were talking about the plain vanilla X5C-1. The trans I mentioned will bind to that one. Not sure what to tell you. Hopefully someone else will weigh in.

    Range mod now no lcd display or beeping X5HC solid light

    I remember seeing all those range mods for the stock Syma transmitter when I got my first X5c. Here's a tip. Forget about those mods and get yourself a Syma X8C transmitter. It will bind with your quad and has better range. A better overall transmitter anyway. $14...

    JJRC H31 Erratic Behavior

    So this one has me stumped. These JJRC H31s are fun little quads. Not the ones I fly the most but they are sporty, pretty much indestructible and the price is right. Just the ticket when you’re not worried about camera/filming and just want to bash around. Here’s the problem: I have 2-3 of...

    DISPROVEN: Drone Collides with Passenger Airline

    Fake news, eh? There have been numerous reports -- some posted on this forum -- over the months attributing lots of bad stuff to "drones." Sure, it can happen but there seems to be a quick trigger by some to blame "drones" for all sorts of negative events.

    Help. X5 SC1, flew for 5 mins then stopped working

    John, These Symas are very popular and have been discussed in dozens of threads here so maybe some others will weigh in now that the thread is on the first page. My advice: It's sounding like you got a dud. Not exactly DOA since it did fly once but it's sounding like it's a bad board or...
