    Using A Smart Phone For FPV

    Fantastic! Thank you for the info. I was thinking about buying a cheap used I Phone just for this purpose. So as I understand I can download the app on my computer then install it on the I Phone? How do you move if from the computer to the I Phone?

    Using A Smart Phone For FPV

    If using a smartphone with an app for fpv does the smartphone have to have actual phone service connection to install and use the app?

    Syma X5C-1 Modifications

    Thanks for the info on the controllers. I just ordered me one. I would prefer to have one without auto return the to center. Plus the price is right. I had thought it's cost would be more. Appreciate the tip.

    Syma X5C-1 Modifications

    Yes I did calibrate but as Rick mentioned which I forgot to mention is that left stick is spring loaded to return to center. I have just come up with a way to hold the joystick down comfortably with my left middle finger after binding and after landing until I power the controller off. Love...

    Need Help Repairing A Syma X8HC

    The body got kinda mis-shaped a wee bit in the crash so I added these just for safety in case of another bad crash. Which I already had and they worked. Just got to replace a couple more motors now. It ain't pretty but it can take a licking and keep on ticking. LOL

    Syma X5C-1 Modifications

    I have several quads a little more sophisticated than the X5 but it is absolutely one of my favorites and the one I go to if there's significant wind above. I use it as a camera platform for my Mobius #16 Key Chain Cameras, standard and wide angle. I was ordering some batteries the other day...

    Need Help Repairing A Syma X8HC

    Update on the X8 Repair.. well I did it again! LOL Doing a sunset video flight and lost track of time. I started my decent thinking I had enough power to land. About 30' up the props stopped and it fell like a rock! The camera shot off the X8 into the grass safely. However when the X8 lost...

    Need Help Repairing A Syma X8HC

    Me too. I knew right away it was fixed before it got three feet off the ground. :-) Since I was in the repair mode today I replaced two motors in a Husban x4 Desire that I messed up a couple months ago. A couple days after that I had eye surgery and am just now seeing l good enough to get...

    Thanks Dragger, I will definitely remember those caps. Well at least I had a great training experience on changing out motors and drive train. I really do appreciate the help getting "Big Red" back in the air. :-)

    Need Help Repairing A Syma X8HC

    Hello Rick, Back up and flying as normal thanks to you. Yep I needed to recalibrate the controller too. Took it for a test flight with a 2-5 tailwind with moderate gust and she flew just fine. Just like new again. I really appreciate you taking the time to walk me through this process. I...

    Is the Syma X5C-1 the best?

    I need to make a correction to my post about the Mobius Camera. My Camera is NOT A MOBIUS, it is the 808 #16 Wide Camera. I have both the standard lens and wide angle models. I purchased them from an Ebay Seller that goes by the name "Mobius" and assumed incorrectly they were Mobius Cameras...
