    Hello from a fellow RC addict!!!!

    They really do, and a lot of their products are very good quality for the price. They do have their misses, but not too many.

    RTF drone setup help

    I think I am the only person who arms on swa. It just makes sense to me to be there.

    Holy Cow!

    Yeah, I saw that. If you have questions about the P4 once you get it, I can probably help out.

    We're almost neighbors. I live in the Inland Empire.

    Glad you found a plan B. I would expect it to be a refurb unit at that price as well, but if so it would say so. Definitely spend the next few days doing your homework on the DJI Go4 app, settings and configuration, calibrating compass & IMU's, etc.

    First build help

    Also, if you're not in a hurry you can save probably $30 on the Taranis Q X7 through either Bangood or Gearbest.

    (NOT total neewbie) still seek qualified minds.

    At $39.99 it's a complete steal, and shipped from their US Warehouse. The cheapest I have seen the i6x with the X6B Rx was $42.99 and I bought two for my sons at that price.

    Syma x5c-1 Removing Stabilization?

    Really? You think so?

    Holy Cow!

    Sounds like you got it. In high rate you will have more pitch, roll, and yaw response and will be able to fly much more effectively in some wind.

    Arrrgh. The X8SC has the new version controller with no LCD display and no trim switches. Try short-pressing the right stick. One beep = low rate. Two beeps = high rate.

    Point taken, Jackson. I'm guessing if yanking and banking was the aim, he would have gone a different direction. ;)

    Spark & Beach

    Nice little video. You also captured the value proposition of the Spark perfectly.

    Newbie-> from U818 to Bugs 3...and the learning to fly process for me

    You have to practice this, so you can do it when you need to.

    Holy Cow!

    Congratulations! I hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine. I would suggest you don't give up completely on the X8. It doesn't have to be either/or, and you may find that (in high rate) you still can have fun flying it. I have a Syma X5 that I still take out in the front yard frequently and...

    Sunnysky x2204 1480kv question.

    I think the higher pitch is also likely to increase vibration.

    Be comforted...they will have more to do once someone gives them a new shuttle to fly and they get to stop catching rides from the Russians. :D

    Newb first drone

    I haven't seen much feedback on the S6, but the M5 has been hit-and-miss in terms of quality. For the price, you're in the neighborhood of what you will spend on a DJI Spark. A Parrot Bebop 2 is also an option in that price range, as is the Hubsan H501S. Definitely go read/watch some reviews on...

    Syma X5SC-1 Broken tooth on motor pinion

    Pure pressure. They go on tight. The ones Jackson linked should be the right ones.
