Jackson, I think I agree. I try to keep things streamlined, so I use a Dean's T parallel board and just make or buy the adapters from there. However, I gotta admit your solution is simpler. More than one way to skin a cat.

Somebody is sure to jump all over that. If you have the cash, that's easy to do well!

I copied the wrong link. See: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1-x-5-in-2-Balance-Charging-Cable-Charger-for-Syma-X5-X5C-X5SC-X5SW-Hubsan/231982419892?hash=item36033acfb4:g:HqkAAOSw3YNXZB1X

You're well on the way. The iMax B6 should come with a Dean's "T" connector output. That charger is a clone, btw. The original is made by SkyRC, but it's often copied. Not necessarily a bad thing, but just know that going in. Some of the clones are quite good. If you want to buy the SkyRC...

Oh, and I also believe everyone should learn to fly LOS. There are a lot of forces acting on anything that flies. Looking at your stick inputs and what is happening as a result is real instructive and teaches you a lot about flight dynamics and physics if you're paying attention.

That makes a lot of sense. I knew the .avi format wasn't nearly as space-efficient, but I never stopped to think about how that affected the big picture.

Just to weigh in on the other side, the great thing about micros is that the inevitable crashes and breaks are cheaper to repair. I'm enjoying the convo a lot. Moz, as a closet anglophile, I gotta love the regional smack-talking. Guess some things are the same everywhere!

If you think you are going to stay in the hobby and buy additional quads, I'd suggest spending the money to buy a hobby grade charger. I always recommend the SkyRC iMax B6 series, but there are lots of good ones. Read reviews and shop prices. After that your life revolves around getting the...

Yeah, as far as heli pilots flying acro, I'm right with you. I was confining my discussion to quads. I flew RC heli's back when. Was a complete amateur, but a bunch of guys used to fly a few miles from me in the old days and were spooky good. I believe Szabo's dad was one of the regulars. They...

I love mine too, but to say I'm flying it is only true in the narrowest sense. It requires little or no flying skill, because in positioning mode it's completely self-stabilizing. That's why I still fly manual line-of-sight quads (including Syma's) and FPV quads. Those require actual skills to...

You're not missing anything...you're correct. However, there is no down side to enabling intelligent flight modes. And once enabled, they should stay enabled unless you disable them again.

I don't sweat putting my information on my less expensive quads, but the ones that I have some money invested in have my FAA# and my phone#, plus "reward" on them.

*facepalm*

Wow. Talk about your unrealistic expectations.

Or Mode 2 on a Syma controller. :D

Wow, you're right. I'm not saying the B2C video is terrible but it's not great, either. And this is coming from a big MJX fan.

Also a good choice, but from what I've seen the camera (and possibly range) may be a bit better on the H501S. Also the Hubsan has integrated 5.8Ghz FPV. However, it's also a chunk more money. If you shop hard, you can find the B2C around $130-140.

Link? Also, did you check the maximum memory size in the H501S specs? It may only support up to 32GB, but the specs should tell you.
