    Using A Smart Phone For FPV

    Fantastic! Thank you for the info. I was thinking about buying a cheap used I Phone just for this purpose. So as I understand I can download the app on my computer then install it on the I Phone? How do you move if from the computer to the I Phone?

    Using A Smart Phone For FPV

    If using a smartphone with an app for fpv does the smartphone have to have actual phone service connection to install and use the app?

    Syma X5C-1 Modifications

    Thanks for the info on the controllers. I just ordered me one. I would prefer to have one without auto return the to center. Plus the price is right. I had thought it's cost would be more. Appreciate the tip.

    Syma X5C-1 Modifications

    Yes I did calibrate but as Rick mentioned which I forgot to mention is that left stick is spring loaded to return to center. I have just come up with a way to hold the joystick down comfortably with my left middle finger after binding and after landing until I power the controller off. Love...

    Need Help Repairing A Syma X8HC

    The body got kinda mis-shaped a wee bit in the crash so I added these just for safety in case of another bad crash. Which I already had and they worked. Just got to replace a couple more motors now. It ain't pretty but it can take a licking and keep on ticking. LOL

    Syma X5C-1 Modifications

    I have several quads a little more sophisticated than the X5 but it is absolutely one of my favorites and the one I go to if there's significant wind above. I use it as a camera platform for my Mobius #16 Key Chain Cameras, standard and wide angle. I was ordering some batteries the other day...

    Update on the X8 Repair.. well I did it again! LOL Doing a sunset video flight and lost track of time. I started my decent thinking I had enough power to land. About 30' up the props stopped and it fell like a rock! The camera shot off the X8 into the grass safely. However when the X8 lost...

    Me too. I knew right away it was fixed before it got three feet off the ground. :-) Since I was in the repair mode today I replaced two motors in a Husban x4 Desire that I messed up a couple months ago. A couple days after that I had eye surgery and am just now seeing l good enough to get...

    Thanks Dragger, I will definitely remember those caps. Well at least I had a great training experience on changing out motors and drive train. I really do appreciate the help getting "Big Red" back in the air. :-)

    Need Help Repairing A Syma X8HC

    Hello Rick, Back up and flying as normal thanks to you. Yep I needed to recalibrate the controller too. Took it for a test flight with a 2-5 tailwind with moderate gust and she flew just fine. Just like new again. I really appreciate you taking the time to walk me through this process. I...

    Is the Syma X5C-1 the best?

    I need to make a correction to my post about the Mobius Camera. My Camera is NOT A MOBIUS, it is the 808 #16 Wide Camera. I have both the standard lens and wide angle models. I purchased them from an Ebay Seller that goes by the name "Mobius" and assumed incorrectly they were Mobius Cameras...

    Need Help Repairing A Syma X8HC

    Hello Rick, I do believe you are absolutely correct. This afternoon when I did finally get it to fly I noticed that the trim was off quite a bit but was too windy to try and make an adjustment while in flight. I will do as you suggest tomorrow and let you know the results. Thanks so much for...

    Is the Syma X5C-1 the best?

    I have never had a problem with the added weight of the Mobius and never needed to change a motor after hours of accumulated flight time with the X5C1.

    Need Help Repairing A Syma X8HC

    Nope that didn't fix it either so I replaced all four motors, gearboxes, drive shafts gears and props with all new parts that I previously ordered just in case and it flew ok!!! Needs to be trimmed up but too windy for that today. This quad does not like wind at all but in calm winds it is a...

    Thanks, I don't know what I was thinking about the calibration, I looked at a youtube video and just got back from testing a recalibrate. Everything appeared exactly as the video inso far as lights showing successful calibration but no change. Still rolling to right at takeoff until it flips...

    Hello Dragger, Thanks so much for the fast response. No I didn't and it was a pretty hard fall on a concrete driveway. How would I do that?
