The instructions for my quad are written in Chinese/American, and are very hard to understand. When it comes to using the cell phone in flying the quad, the instructions tell me to "open phone wi-fi." I assume that means they want me to activate my cell phone wi-fi. OK - how do you do that...

Thanks.

Since my first post, I went back to the manual and was able to figure out what's what with the left and right joysticks. And, yes, I bought this drone (for $98) without knowing ANYTHING about it or about quad flying. I figured I would learn as I went and it looks like that's what I am doing...

Yes, I figured that out for my second try at it. There is always a pretty stiff wind where I was flying today. Is that what is causing my quad to drift and then take off? Would I be better off to get in a more confined (not good) area, but one that is wind-free (good)?

My transmitter has two joysticks - one left and one right. Each of those joysticks moves L/R as well as Up/Down. That means I can do eight different control movements with my two joysticks, four with the right one and four with the left one.Sad to say, my instruction manual is written in...

https://justdrones.com.au/store/xk-x300-li-po-battery/ This is the battery for the F model, not the W model. But they look the same.

XK-X300-W. An excellent beginner's drone. $98.00. I didn't want to spend too much on my first one. All I want the first one for is to learn how to fly 'em. Once I feel confident, then I will upgrade.

First flight ever today. XKX300-W. Flying transmitter only. Got everything started, "binded," armed and ready. Got her up and hovering at about 5 feet. Pretty good wind from behind me, but the quad held position OK - for a while. Then it began to drift a bit. I tried to correct it...

OK - I'm going to go out and give it a (first) try today anyway. Totally not sure of how to do it, but I guess the only way to learn is to try. Film at eleven .... I'm back. First flight successful! I have a lot to learn about controlling the quad once it's airborne, but all in all, I am...

Learning more by the minute. My exact model is an XKX 300-W. It is manufactured by XK (China) and is available through Gearbest on the Web. Best of all, I found an excellent video that is going to help me a lot in making my first flight. This is the basic video for my exact model (The W...

I didn't get the F model. Mine cost $98.00. I think the F model costs $146.00. I didn't know what I was doing when I ordered - just wanted to get the cheapest one I could consistent with being a basically good starter model. I think I did get a good one - a very good one. But I'm thinking...

OK - didn't know that. I didn't mean "store" in the literal sense. I charged the battery up last night, intending to try a first flight today. Now, it looks like I am going to have to wait a week. I have the battery in the quad. Is it OK to let it sit there a week or would I be better off...

OK, I will check it out. But be advised, my user manual is worthless. But my larger question is, exactly what function does a cell phone serve when it is attached to the remote and you are flying your quad?

Hit me with a "like." I want to be able to put my specs into my sig as soon as possible. Thanks.

I just took delivery of an XKX 300 quadcopter. There is a piece included that is intended to be attached to the remote controller so that a cell phone can be held in it. How is a cell phone intended to be used with a quadcopter? Am I supposed to download some kind of app? Does it have...

Where should I store my fully charged battery? Is it OK to insert it into the quadcopter, or should I keep it outside of the quad until I intend to use it?

Wow! Can't thank you guys enough. GREAT advice. :)

I just took delivery of my first quadcopter - an XKX 300. I think they left the FPV screen out of the box. Can I fly the quad without an FPV screen? (Not bad for a newbie question, hey? If you look up Newbie in the dictionary, my picture is next to it, at least when it comes to drones.)
