    FAA On Quadcopters

    You can type your registration number along with your phone number and a cash reward offer on a strip of adhesive tape and stick it on the body of your drone. That will greatly enhance the likelihood of it being returned. A $10 offer is about right for the average toy-grade quad, $50 - $100...

    need help

    Cleo, I'm not acquainted with your quad but I can tell you that having a bad motor in a new toy-grade drone is not uncommon. This is the inevitable result of mass-producing such tiny motors. I had that problem with my Syma x5c when I got it. Your options are to send the quad back to the...

    New to QuadCopter World, advices needed

    The battery could very well be the problem. There is a "fifteen minute rule" that should be followed with all quads in the low to medium price range. What this means is you should always wait at least fifteen minutes before recharging the battery. Give it a chance to cool down. This is hard...

    Syma x5c-1 starts than dies. Ideas?

    I would bet money the problem is with the quad's LiPo battery. Some of them behave erratically. Aside from that it sounds to me like your x5c is fine. Have you been following the fifteen minute rule? In case you don't know what that is, always wait fifteen minutes after a flight to...

    New X5C-1

    I have two x5c's. On both controllers the green on/off indicator light comes on -- but the LCD informational screen does not light up on either one. In no way does this affect function. Once you become reflexively accustomed to controlling your bird you have absolutely no need to refer to the...
