RE: The Nihui u807. This is really hard to beat. Flash Sale currently at Gear Best. Full package, quad, transmitter & camera (!). $29.95 Wow! http://www.gearbest.com/rc-quadcopters/pp_147485.html

Yay! Finally got my new Syma X5HC quad w/altitude hold feature. A small glitch as I got an email after it had supposedly shipped saying there was an issue with “security” in China. Anyway, it’s here and did a quick flight yesterday before dark. The good news is the altitude hold works very well...

Yep, sounds like the props to me.

Yep, been there before. Have lost a few but one of the worst ones for me was a Syma X5c that landed in a tree in my front yard. It was at the end of the winter so the tree was still bare and every day I had to go by and see it sitting there staring at me from the very top! It was like so...

Wow, she's a real charmer.

Thanks for the review. I have one of these Syma models (X5HC)ordered. In fact, it should arrive any day now (saying that with a ;) as it's the usual wait from China). Based on most of the online reviews I've read/seen, the altitude hold feature seems to generally work well. Some getting used to...

I have one of the new Symas on the way. It's the basic model with altitude hold. (X5HC). The left throttle stick is spring loaded (up and down direction) and returns to center so that the quad will hold whatever altitude you take it up to. Also saw that they come with a Syma proprietary...

Wow, great minds. ;) I also just got a replacement Nihui U807 BNF. Gearbest to the rescue.

Not that particular one but I just ordered the Syma X5HC which is part of the new line of quads with the altitude hold feature (it's not WiFi/FPV). Looking forward to receiving it soon and posting some thoughts here.

Starting to see some reviews/videos as these (the new Syma X5 HC) are hitting the street. One thing to note that I don't think was mentioned above is that these are shipping with a proprietary battery plug. Search for some vids on You Tube that will show them clearly. Thinking about getting one...

Yeah, I take your point but based on the many instances I've read here of items never being delivered or taking 60 days + or arriving damaged I considered this worth an atta boy for my first buying experience with them.

We have a lot of threads on issues and problems with various online merchants. Just wanted to give a shout out to Geekbuying for good service. Placed my first order with them and received the quad (from China) in less than two weeks. Bonus is that it is one of the Hubsan x4's w/camera for $29...

A general tip for getting around the often unintelligible instruction manuals. Lots of good stuff online, especially You Tube. You frequently can view online reviews and other info that will walk you through things like setting up a quad, transmitter functions, etc. For my Nihui U807 I never...

Have you used High Mode when flying in the wind? Won't help if it's very windy but can make a difference in handling in lighter breezes. (Silver button at top left of the Tx).

A typo most likely. Assume he meant "reset."

Glad someone here has one of these and hope you will post some reviews and other thoughts as you progress with it. Looks like a cool quad and may even considering getting one after hearing more about it. Good luck!

Pulled the trigger on one of these at 29.99 shipped. My first purchase from Geekbuying so fingers crossed.;)

Thanks for tip on the X8c Tx. Just ordered one from BG.

What Quest said. You need a GPS. Generally, it's buyer beware when reading about quads with a "return home" feature. Check them out carefully, read reviews, and ask around.

I'll second the Nihui U807. My first quad was the Syma x5C-1 and I still fly it but the U807 is fantastic. I liked it so much I bought a second one! A real sport flyer and you can really punch it up with the "mode" switch on the transmitter.
