    Greetings, just starting out

    Welcome! Two points of advice: get used to crashing/ losing your beloved quad. And second, be VERY careful around spinning props. I've learned both the hard way. More advanced quads can put you in a hospital. But have fun learning. It's a blast!

    Problem/Doubt with my first quadcopter

    Just recieved my 1st quadcopter

    Mah translates to battery capacity. Meaning flight time. More mah means: bigger heavier battery, longer charge times. And depending on the size of the quad could affect flight characteristics. buy more batteries.

    Motors won't turn

    Is there a procedure to turn the motors on? Try this: take both sticks and point them at opposing bottom corners. Or try positioning sticks to both downward-inside corners. This is a common way to turn on motors. Hope it works

    Need help from the pros

    I hear ya Aaron on the funds thing but there's some quads out there you can pick up for half the price of the Vivitar. Like the Syma XC 5 (Amazon under 50 bucks). food for thought. Good luck.

    Need help from the pros

    Jacksons right Aaron it would be much easier to buy or build another one. Building allows you to personalize your quad the way you say you'd like to do. I'm not familiar with the Vivitar but I see compatibility issues in your future. If it was really expensive I can see why you'd go the repair...
