    what should i get?

    You can get a syma 8xc on Amazon for $65. It has a fairly good camera for recording video or taking pictures, range of 100+ meters, and 10-12 minute flying time. If you break it right away, your not out major $$.

    7.4V batteries. 10 mins flight time? Is that normal?

    Yes I understand that but the qx90 weighs only 39grams and the syma is a hefty 450 grams. I'm guessing the weight to power ratio of the different motors is why there's a big difference in flight times. I.E.-the smaller motors are actually more powerful in the qx90 than the bigger motors in the...

    7.4V batteries. 10 mins flight time? Is that normal?

    I don't understand electronics either, some things in this hobby don't seem to made sense. For instance: my heavy as hell syma x8 flies for 12 minutes, but my tiny qx90 only flies for 5 minutes. Although now that I think about it the syma is a slow cumbersome flying block and the qx90 zips...

    Syma X8 Mods - Weight, Cam and more?

    Don't drill holes in your landing gear! The symax8 is already very light for its size. Unless you can get into the control board settings, making it lighter will only screw with the flight program. Drones are a highly engineered piece of machinery. You have been warned!

    Blade Nano FPV RTF

    There are usually reverse switches in the controller settings, try reversing the ones that are backwards.

    Hi, i have a problem

    I always make sure my Syma 8x is in high mode before I take off. If the local internet weather site says the wind is over 10mph I won't fly. Re-calibration never hurts. Also, make sure all your motor screws are tight. My Syma had loose screw right out of the box that turned me into an over-night...

    Okay I got throttle control to work, how do I get this out of "normal" mode and into "stunt" mode?

    QX90 noob questions

    Okay I decided to go into the settings and see if I could activate "throttle hold." Warning: do not turn on "throttle hold" with the controller that comes with the qx90 rtf. It actually acts as a "throttle full" switch.

    QX90 noob questions

    Yes that is the link I came across during my research. Although all settings seem to be accessible, the only one that seems to do anything are the sub trims. Although I'll admit I haven't messed with much because I don't really know what everything does and I didn't want to mess with stuff I...

    QX90 noob questions

    Wow I forgot all about this thread, but I can now answer my own questions. 1. I bought a small receiver screen that accepts 5.8ghz signal, my phone does not accept it. 2. The propellers that come with the qx90 are terrible. But the upgrade props, much better. 3. The controller that comes with...

    Hello all, I just received my QX90 rtf in the mail today and I have a few questions. 1.How exactly do I get the fpv to view on my android phone? 2. I had to trim the directional control all the way left to get it to stop drifting, no idea why. 3. What are all these switches, knobs, and...

    Looking for advice on a new quad.....

    Jackson, a couple questions. Will this camera work with the wi-fi on my phone? And what is the range? Will this fly outdoors in mild wind? Thanks for the heads up on this one, it looks like what I had in mind.

    Looking for advice on a new quad.....

    What's up folks, I'm new to this and you guys seem to know your stuff so...... I'm looking for a small quad, about 4-5 inches across. I want it to have a fpv camera, it must come with a transmitter, and I was hoping to keep it less than $100 dollars. I have a tiny eachine H8 quad, so about...

    I know this is a quadcopter forum but.......

    I have 3, a symax8c, and 2 smaller indoor toys. I guess you don't have an opinion on this particular heli, as this is general discussion. I've flow helis for years and I know this one's more difficult to fly than a quad, that's the whole point. (Typically general discussion sections on most...

    I know this is a quadcopter forum but.......

    Seeing as how this is general discussion I thought you guys wouldn't mind if I asked if anyone has experience with an XK Falcon K100 mini stunt helicopter I was thinking about trying. Any opinion welcome.
