I was wondering if the c rating might have a lot to do with it. I need to be educated on that.

I took a Hubsan 501 2700 mAh 10c battery and put it in my bugs2w thinking I get better fly time. Not the case. The flight time was the same as using the original 1800 mAh 25c battery. Only 10min with video running. I get 20 min with video running on the Hubsan. What's the deal?

Just now reading this. You can use a 501s standard controller to operate your 501a and you will have full 5.8ghz FPV.

I just bought a 501s and I also have a bugs2w. I like my bugs alot but love the 501s. I do not like the wifi FPV on my bugs. I have nothing to support the 5g so I can't use it. But I have a runcam 2 that I can hang from the bottom and use it's wifi FPV but the latency is ridiculous. If the wifi...

I installed the buzzer and am very pleased. I fly for 19 min before the alarm goes off. Leaves me plenty of time to land safely. I still have to test it with cameras. I hooked up the HG camera and it acted funny. It did't want to fly. Not that it didn't want to lift it, it acted all radical...

I know if you are 100m or more it will maintain your current altitude. But if you are too low and I don't know the exact altitude, it will raise altitude then return to overhead.

I have a stock Bugs 2W. In two occasions, I had it go unresponsive and stuck in the air untill the battery died enough to let it fall out of the sky. Both times it was at night. And, both times it was at an undisclosed altitude over 100m but under 400m. Skies were clear. No signs of UFO...

Unless you have a board problem or motor problem, I don't understand why it won't fly stock with that camera. I have the same camera and gimble and I have no problem flying with it. Just don't have a long flight time. Oh, those gimbles are junk. They break Everytime you crash. I refrained one...

Thanks. I will do that.

Still haven't been able to fly outside yet. But, I did an experiment inside. I modified the battery bay to except a 3000mah battery and flew it inside my house. It flew for exactly 21 min. before the lights stated to flash. As soon as the lights started to flash, the drone immediately descended...

I was able to fly a little yesterday with the syma hg camera attached to my brushless conversion project. I was impressed how it flew. Still very smooth and quiet with added weight. Still need to take out into the open country side and let it rip so I can see how it will really do.

Timing probably isn't the correct term. They are phased. If they are wired wrong, they just turn the opposite direction. The ground, or in most cases the black wire, stays where it is. Just swap the other two wires and your good to go. Bench test before putting the quad completely together.

I love that x8 flimsy shell. It can fall 90 meters from the sky and nothing happens.

If you go to the syma store and look at the brushless motor upgrade kit you can see what the board looks like. It looks like they take an x8 board and wire it to another flight controller board. There are no escs. I assume it is all in the other board.

I assume the board is modified for brushless since this is a complete kit. You are right about the flight time. Yesterday I used a 3000mah battery and I got over 10 min of flight time. The 2200mah only did about 6 or 7 min. I haven't tried to exhaust the battery yet to see what the flight time...

OK. I received my kit last week and finally installed it this past weekend. The kit, although it looked different in the pic, is the exact same kit that I bought before. I installed it anyway. This works a lot better than the other one. The other one must have something wrong in the board. I can...

Sometimes it is not about making sense. Sometimes you just want to play and experiment. I have several x8s and I have modified all of them one way or another. I tried the brushless kit from the syma store and it was a flop as far as I am concerned. I do not have more power or longer flight time...

I used a X8hg board when I did mine. Also ordered a HG controller to match. The Quad works well with either controller and now has altitude hold.

Well. I don't see any replies to your post so I will give you my experience with what I did. I did the brushless upgrade from the kit you can buy from the Syma store. It doesn't work as advertised for me. You are supposed to have 3 speeds that are selected by toggling the cam/video switch...

I have a Bayangtoys X21 that I love flying. I also like using the headless mode. Well, it no longer works. The transmitter will beep indicating that it is initiated and the lights on the drone are flashing to indicate that it should be working but it doesn't. Does anyone know if the problem is...
