Of course! Where's the pork in something that doesn't require a new agency branch? We can dream..............

Welcome Manny! I know one of our small quad fanatics (Mike H.) thinks very highly of the JJRC H8D, and all things JJRC for that matter. I hope your son knows how lucky he is. Get extra props and batteries while your credit card is out. Haha!

That is so simple and sensible that I am embarrassed for not having thought of it. The downside is that because it does make sense the Feds will never adopt it. :(

Good questions. For example, the Emax you are looking at is a good example of the chinese playing games. On the chart the seller shows, for the 4s/ 5040 prop, 10.7 amp draw( from your battery) to get 510g thrust. If you scroll down to the bottom of the page the manufacturer claims 440g max. When...

Haha! You may as well tear up the junk stuff first. While your learning how it handles, start getting your upgrade together. It will probably take a little while to ship anyway. I have the build disease so bad that I have 4 of them in various stages of construction! Pitiful. The only things I...

That was my thought as well. The camera and a 1s 350mah battery weighs less than the stock Syma camera. Sounds like a winner to me.

Looking at the specs they don't seem very efficient or very powerful considering they are running on 4s. Check these out; http://www.banggood.com/T-MOTOR-MN2204-1400KV-2300KV-Brushless-Motor-For-RC-Quadcopter-p-973284.html They are much more efficient( longer flights) and produce slightly more...

Well Rev. Since you asked, here is my opinion. You get what you pay for. Yes they will work. For a while. Probably no better than what you've got. Maybe not even as well. I, personally, refuse to bottom feed. A little story. Before I joined this forum and took advantage of the knowledge...

Ya know. Until you asked I wasn't even curious. All the videos I've seen look good so.............. Now that you asked I haven't found anything in the manual or on the manufacturers site that says what the resolution is. As long as it works and the video looks as good as the Youtube examples, I...

Hi again, John. Here is one site to check out; http://blog.oscarliang.net/best-flight-controller-quad-hex-copter/ There are many others as well, but this will give you an idea of features available. Allow me to offer MY opinion...

Haha! The crash was no ones fault but my own. All do to my legendary(read; mediocre) piloting skills. All that stuff is going on a 470 I'm in the middle of building. I have another Reptile style frame I'm modifying to a 620 with 3508 KV380 motors swinging 15x5.5 props. I keep changing my mind on...

My opinion, since you asked,(Haha) is to get the current model of the X5c 1 if you really want to learn to fly. There are no whistles and bells so you HAVE to fly it all the time. It flies like a larger quad. I believe it is the perfect trainer to learn to fly outdoors especially. It will make...

The only difference I'm aware of is the CS has headless mode.

I haven't gotten around to installing my Spektrum mini yet on my Syma but here is what I'm expecting;

Looking forward to hearing more from you. Please don't hesitate to ask questions on the forum. The members and mods are really great and very helpful. We all started as Noobs and are still learning something new all the time. Cheers back at ya!

Skybird, I will give you the opinion of a COB(crusty old biker) as my oldest granddaughter gets a kick out of calling me. Get two quads. Pick one of the baby quads Mike H. gives his blessing to and fly that one indoors. Get the Syma X5c1 to learn to fly outdoors. I have only had mine a couple...

Hahaha!! Love it! Good advice( a lot of it actually). Welcome to the forum Thomas! One item you, and a lot of new guys, bring up about the X5c 1 is that it won't hover by itself. Actually that is one of the reasons so many of us like it for practice. BECAUSE it requires us to always fly the...

Looks pretty darn good! 2 suggestions. Maybe look into the Naza M lite instead of the CC3d which is more of an acro controller. You will be familiar with the Naza from your Phantom and it will be easier to set up. Next you might consider the Multistar 10c 5200mah battery. Get 2 of them. You...

How come you always think it's funny when I'm on the receiving end? Huh? Huh?

Good eye, G!
