    What's the best drone to start flying with

    If having to choose only from the models listed in this "subjective" top 10 list..There are a few that stand out that i would consider from the list. Im going to assume you want fpv features in my responses here. Let me first start off by saying that some of the quads listed have some draw...

    3.7V Battery Life flying a X5C?

    Expect about 30 to 40 charges on average before they most likely need replacing. The Turnigy NanoTech 750 mah battery seems to be the go to battery for longer flights and a little more power on the x5 series, as they have a higher C rating than the stock battery. The one thing however to watch...

    Pretty much i would forget anything that is wifi untill ALL of them figure out the signal bugs if thats even possible...Even we lose wifi signal via internet...its just going to happen. To men this leaves me wondering what day the internet wants me to lose my toy quad. Yea, those prices on...

    As with most all new models it might take a few months before suppliers can stock parts for them..It took almost 4 months before parts for the FY326 was even available. Despite the remote gimbal not being able to pan left or right, the excitement here is, that a remote gimbal of any sorts has...

    That is pretty much a new model from JJRC...from what i understand the range is not that great on this jjrc model and thats a shame as they usually have great range...I read the antenna was 24mm which would make it less than 1/4 range which is not a good thing...This model seems to have...

    The JJRC actually has some advantages right from the start..More powerful and a much longer range..Also consider its actually a few dollars less...The camera will be as equal to the syma if not better and, you can attach FPV to it just the same as you can the syma and, it actually be capable of...

    Honestly, i think you should get a popular model that you can buy spare parts for..Not all the syma "clones" share the same parts despite looking alike and, parts you will certainly need. If youre going to spend the same money you may as well get the JJRC H5C CF or the Syma X5C-1...parts are...

    I may have to retract my statement of putting an fpv on the X9..i wasnt considering the weight of the battery needed to power it..Since the x9 only uses a 150mah battery to begin with its not enough to power the fpv system also which needs a 250 to 340 mah battery which can weigh another 8 to 10...

    Yes...the 808 also uses an SD card. I dont know that much about the new spektrum set up but its not un common to add a wide angle lens to fpv or camera set ups. The FY326 is a good flyer but cost is what is drawing me to it..$16.00 for an RTF...The FY326 much like the JJRC H5C CF uses much...
