Always good to get another viewpoint. I, and a couple buddies, have had the opposite experience. We briefly dabbled in the Dark Side and have since seen the light. The specs on Emax motors often vary from site to site. Trusting that the reviews on Chinese sites are from real customers is often a...

Very good example of idiocy. That would be the same guy who wouldn't bother to learn the FAA regs anyway. This is where we rely on Darwin. Enough of these guys get fined and arrested and the word will get out. Hopefully before there is a serious incident. The AMA needs to get way more proactive...

Ok. Do you think that going way, way out of LOS would add fuel to the fire with the FAA? Should this be something unskilled hobbyists should be doing without training? Sounds kinda scary. We need training for concealed carry even though you can buy a gun without it. We need training for a...

haha! I'm being overwhelmed with info! I haven't received the quad and radio yet. I plan on keeping the X5 stock except for mounting the Spektrum FPV and leaving off the Syma camera. I have an iphone that I use for pictures and an old MS computer that won't accept iPhone video. I plan on getting...

I'm not sure of this, but once you fly past a certain range and above a certain altitude aren't there regulation and licensing issues?

I just watched it and Bruce didn't seem very thrilled. Here is one I just came across and is in your budget. Except for the cheap motors it uses some pretty decent stuff. Upgrade the motors and it might be a good candidate. http://www.helipal.com/storm-racing-drone-rtf-type-a.html

oooops! out of synch. That was for Mike.

Hahahahaaaa!! You could be the poster child for Quadsaholics Anonymous!! Look out Glo. Here's what happens when the hobby becomes a disease. Sadly. The only cure is more quads!!!!

Good to know. I need to get to work on some of my partially finished builds. The X5c1 is so much fun to practice with that I'm neglecting my "real" quads.:rolleyes:

Then you can tuck them into bed each night like Mike does......:D

Good list! The only suggestion I have is to avoid the DYS ESC's. My one and only experience was a failure. I opened one up and even to my uneducated eye it was suspect. There are plenty of other good quality ones out there that GJH105775 can recommend. Mine is ZTW Spider 30A Small. They are opto...

Their modes are like that 'cause they drive on the wrong side of the road!!!:mad:;)

It's not if. It's when! So. What's the next design in the works?

From amazon; http://www.amazon.com/SeresRoad-Quadcopter-360%C2%B0Flips-Headless-Helicopter/dp/B00PBXDRLA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1446034391&sr=8-1&keywords=jjrc+h5c+drone Cheaper than what you found after shipping. Be very cautious with the Chinese right now. They are getting a bit desperate...

Well crap! I just watched it. Let me try again. ok, think I got it

Good for you! Glad to see you going for it. It looks like you have a winner on your hands!

I second the recommendation of GJH105775. The X5C1 is a great quad to fly. May be one of the best trainers out there. Many of us build and fly larger quads and many of those members, like me, also own a Syma X5c1 to fly around at a moments notice and in tight confines. It flys so much like a...

Hey hipplew. To put this advice in context. Almost every member on the forum who builds their own multis has done EXACTLY what you did. It's a learning process for sure. My first $225 to $250 build ended up well over $600 after replacing all the junk I bought first and replacing it with good...

Ahhhh..... now I get it. You can always put bigger motors and props on the Iris. Or...... Check these out; http://www.gearbest.com/rc-quadcopters/pp_197344.html?currency=USD&gclid=CjwKEAjwwbyxBRCS74T049iEp0wSJACkO5v1RXVAbYtA-esjv9q1_Ba_Kh_0oOcmmZOJREQz5MVgthoC70Pw_wcB Or...
