    Syma X5C-1 Modifications thread

    I had some Venom batteries and was getting 1/3 less flight time as compared to some no name batteries I had with the same mAh. I ended up returning them.

    Syma X5C Clone newbie-bind?

    Check to be sure all the trims are centered. It will do that when it's close to the ground. It's riding on top of it's own prop wash. Pull it up 2-3 ft off the floor if it's still drifting back and to the left add a little forward trim & some right trim.

    Syma X1-R build

    Yea eBay is a scary place, I guit selling there years ago and I don't buy much there either. They definitely run a kangaroo court system there for sure. Sorry to hear about your bad experience. I don't blame you I would have probably done the same thing.

    Eachine 250's

    I have the Er250 but really can't comment on how it flies. I bought the ARF version and been gathering the rest of the parts to complete it mainly the RX. Plus the weather hasn't been friendly. Some of the guys over at rcgroups are switching to the Eamachine Falcon 250. I did get a chance to...

    Syma X1-R build

    Will the battery holder from a v262, v666 fit? Aren't the center pieces for all the Wltoys quads the same? http://www.gearbest.com/rc-quadcopters-parts/pp_145472.html

    A cheap/beginner drone with (good) camera

    I wouldn't worry about a camera till you learn to fly. I would suggest getting either a Syma X5C-1 or the Nihui U807 both are very good starter quads. Parts for either are fairly cheap and easy to get. Having both I think I would recommend the U807 though both are easy fliers in the beginners...

    First FPV flight...fail

    When the video first started I thought to myself why is he trying to fly fpv nose in. I'm still collecting the needed equipment, but everything I have read or watched about fpv flying said to always have forward movement that it's real hard to hover in fpv especially when starting out. There...

    Yizhan Tarantula X6 New Version(No camera)My review

    Got mine about the same time and it never did fly right. Seems even a hard turn would confuse the gyros. The range pretty much sucked, at times it would start to loose functions, sometime yaw, others it might be elevator or roll, thank goodness it never lost throttle so I could get it down. I...

    Quadcopter yaw spin/drift

    When you setup the kk2.0 were all the trims centered on the TX? I'm not familiar with kk2.0 but can you see in it where it thinks the sticks are when in centered. I know when I setup my cc3d using LibrePilot after setting up the quad I have to setup my TX part of this is setting stick limits in...
