    Help with Aerosky X350 with APM

    I love my Phantom clone, the Aerosky X350. But now I am having problems. It has the APM board in it with a GPS with a built in compass. I believe it is a 3D style. I also have on my computer the APM Planner 2. When I fly it, and use the circle mode on the controller, lately, it starts the...

    Syma X5 in tree for two months!

    My favorite Syma X5C was stuck in a tree for the past two months. We have had a very wet summer. It went through an uncounted number of rain storms. Some were very hard downpours that resulted in local flooding. I wrote it off. It was 35' up in a very sketchy poplar tree. Too dangerous to...

    Phantom 1 body shell

    I have a DJI Phantom 1 and I need a source for an inexpensive replacement body. I see the Phantom 3 and 4 bodys all over really cheap. The only Phantom 1 body I can find is $89 American. Does anybody know of a source that is cheaper than that? Thank you in advance!

    I need a drone body! Aerosky X350 or Phantom 1

    I need a new body for my Aerosky x350. For some odd reason they never had a good replacement parts supply line for the Aerosky X350. It is very similar to a Phantom 1, but I can't seem to find a reasonably priced source for the Phantom 1 body either. I'm considering putting my Aerosky gear...

    Aerosky X350 calibration?

    I just got an Aerosky X350 and I read the whole manual and there is no mention of a calibration procedure. Not for the compass or nothing. Also, all the "trim switches" are fixed in the middle position. So there seems to be no trim for any of the functions? Who can help?

    Need battery help with an Aerosky X350

    I'm buying an Aerosky (used) from someone, and it does not come with the battery. The few places that sell them online are "out of stock" can someone with experience recommend a replacement battery source even if I have to adapt the connectors? I do own a Walkera X350 and I was wondering if...

    Help with Walkera X350 Pro gimbal wireing!

    Walkera X350 Pro help! I have an X350 Pro, and while changing the body a while back I removed the white gimbal cable from the receiver thinking I would never need it.
