    £120 budget,with HD camera and easy to fly

    For that price range its hard to beat the SYMA X8C. The toy quad cameras and fpv really are nothing to write home about quality wise. Some are better than others but, a far cry from anything crystal clear and quality looking. The toy quad (in your price range) with highest payload carrying...

    Syma X5C-1 ESC symptoms

    Im also for checking the batteries...an ESC on a PCB either works or it doesnt...The Mosfets are what send power to the motors..If it was one motor going weak i would say replace the motor or check for binding of the gears'shafts etc and see how that went...Otherwise most low timed flights are...

    Modding RTF quad transmitter antennas

    You dont need to do anything to the antenna on the control board...that should be the proper 1/4 range length...just the antenna on the transmitter needs to be replaced.

    Modding RTF quad transmitter antennas

    So, do the mods shown above..its cheap..maybe $10.00 in parts and a little soldering. The X5C-1 is not really that powerful to fight wind..the programming isnt very aggressive giving enough pitch to do that. If your x5c is stock you might be getting 30 meters at best...The range mod should...

    Modding RTF quad transmitter antennas

    That about sums it up...All your signal will be on the sides of the antenna basically at 1/2 range. Most lay them down to keep a signal forward although, it will be much more narrow but stronger for better distance. Just increasing the db of the antenna has the same effect...A 10db antenna on...

    Modding RTF quad transmitter antennas

    Moving up to a 1/2 range antenna will narrow you signal a significant amount meaning the signal becomes more directional. Imagine a glow around the antenna. A circle if you will...the higher the DB or the more range you increase it that circle starts to disappear from the tip of the antenna...

    Oh go play with your xc5-1...you know its the only one that flys right now.:p

    Modding RTF quad transmitter antennas

    For 1 unless you are using fpv with the proper range as well the antenna mod is sort of overkill to an extent..Granted you can increase range above 100m but my guess is ,thats far away enough that you cant tell orientation of the quad to fly it back in by the naked eye. (Hence where the fpv...

    Newb Looking for advice on affordable micro/mini RTF

    Im not really sure what protocol the fy326 is on but, its known to be alot more aggressive than the syma x5 in general as far as flight is concerned...Its much more of a sporty flyer which can be difficult for someone new...The fy326 and x5c are not parts interchangeable....you could maybe swap...

    Syma X5C - more fun to be had?

    These times are much longer than ive seen actual videos of...With a turnigy nanotech 750mah it seems around 8 minutes with an experienced flyer (no camera/ gaurds or landing gear) and about 5 to 6 minutes with camera being used. It can be longer if you dont really fly it but fly it like...

    Newbie, fast learner. How does flying quads compare to RC helicopters?

    Oh one note on the eachine kit...get the 110 degree view kit..dont get the wide 140 degree or whatever it is..its been said it gives a more distorted view...110 looks pretty good.

    Newbie, fast learner. How does flying quads compare to RC helicopters?

    Im still waiting for a Bayang X9 from them..ordered it the tenth and paid for tracking and still have no progress other than processed. Eachine can be purchased almost anyplace..just type in Eachine TL 700 FPV and you will get results..Check out youtube videos as well on them.

    Newbie, fast learner. How does flying quads compare to RC helicopters?

    Im not sure ive seen a true Hobby grade geared motor set up but ,it could be possible. I must applaud how you wish to learn before jumping in to the expensive and dangerous hobby level of quads however im not so sure you will get bored as easily with a toy quad as you might think. Looking...
