    X5HW headless mode

    Can't seem to get mine to work. If I hold the left-shoulder button down for 2 seconds...I get the telltale "Di...Di...di" noise, but as soon as I lift off, it stops and the copter goes back to regular mode. One time today, I managed to get it to work, but I'll be damned if I can remember what I...

    Really....we are debating the differences in the build-quality of certain models? I'd be the first to admit the X5 is nothing but a toy.... Some people would rather learn through trial and error, but unfortunately I can't afford to do that with a Mavic or DJI. I imagine I'll get there one...

    Well, after a few months of "mastering" the HS170, I finally took the Syma out for its maiden flight tonight. The altitude-hold feature is sweet...but the FPV and video is just crap....and many other Reviewer's agree. I never thought it was a Cinematographic tool...but the SW had better video...

    This.... When I re-re-read the manual, they have the pictures and descriptions in the same order as in Mode 1, so it looks as though they are the same... According to the manual, the left shoulder button is the headless mode....?

    Thanks, to both of you! Can anyone interpret what is meant by Mode 1 and Mode 2 in this manual? From what I can see, the controls are exactly the same...is this another name for high and low speeds?

    Hi again! About a year ago, I was part of this forum....with a new Syma X5 that flew away on me a week later. I'm back with another X5HW that I've already flown into several walls in the house! Over the past year, I've been "honing" my skills with some micro quads (available at Costco....you...

    X8C Help needed desperately!!!!

    It doesn't have my phone on it...just the number. I was able to get a compass bearing on it, but given the altitude it was at....she's probably in Kansas by now. It's OK...I've accepted that she's gone.

    X8C Help needed desperately!!!!

    Well....you can add me to the list of sad-sack droner wannabe's....I just watched my X8C disappear into the horizon after it caught some wind up high and flew out of range. I have my phone number on the body...but given the neighbourhood(s) it may have reached, I don't hold out much hope...

    X8C Help needed desperately!!!!

    Greetings...new member here. I just received a SYMA X8C for Christmas, and have broken 2 props within 5 minutes! The problem is twofold: a) The "instructions" that come with it are terribly translated and barely make sense. b) Upon takeoff, the copter pitches hard to the right and digs into the...
