"I don't get the endless search for a little bit longer flight times" Really! Folks are putting bigger batteries, Range antennas, building lighter weight gimbals, etc, all - so they can enjoy the pleasurable experience, of extended flight times. I've even seen people drilling holes in the...

I'm still thinking I must have gotten a bad one! It's very difficult to get everything right, so that it will fly. I'll keep playing with it - and it will either work, or I'll sent it back.

I don't think it's a voltage issue. I've been doing the same dance over and over, and only occasionally do I get the lights to stay solid. They usually blink in a 1-2 pattern, and I can't get them to turn solid - so I start all over again. I'll check the voltage with my meter, but I don't...

Thanks for your reply. Yes - I've been doing the dance with it, going strictly by the book. I thought maybe the thing wouldn't fly, unless you had 7-8 satellites. But the App says I have 10-18! I can unlock the motors with the App, but I don't have throttle control or take-off. I hope I don't...

GPS Drone - Right outta the box, with freshly charged batteries, the motors unlock but it won't fly! Troubleshooting says: Causes - #1) Rotors are damaged. NO! #2) Drone's battery pack is drained. NO! #3) Drone is not on a flat surface. Also NO! Anyone familiar with this Quadcopter? I'm...

Switching from low to high, must necessarily change the motor speeds. There is NO other way - to make a quad more responsive. imho. If you have a "positive" explanation to the contrary, I would enjoy hearing your theory.

again.......with the attitude! Please don't comment with negative statements.

I'm just a novice at flying drones - but I don't need someone pissing up my leg, and telling me it's raining! I joined this forum, to learn all I can about the Sport of Droning, I don't need people feeding me false information! ALL Maneuvers - performed by drones, are "Motor Speed"...

imho - since there are NO adjustable flight-control surfaces - it must be a "motor control" speed adjustment.

Some more X5C questions. Why does Mode 2 change the controls? Is there some advantage in doing that? I was just getting used to controlling my X5C, and Mode 2 got me all confused! : ( Also, does H and L - change the motor speed?

Good to know! Sometimes - a USB port is not available, but a wall outlet is. : )

I'm charging a 750mAh battery.

Can I use an AC - USB adapter, rather than charging thru a usb port? I don't want to risk over-charging, or worse (a fire). My adapter looks similar to the one pictured, and says; Output: 5.0v ----2000mA. Maybe I need a 3.7v adapter?

I've decided to try a 750mah, rather than the 1200mah. Walmart has a 5 pack with a charger, for $14.45. Can't beat that.

Do the 850's, fit into the battery box on the X5C?
