Finished modding this CW4 controller. Was a pita because the controller doesn't have much room inside compared to a Syma. Antenna wire replaced little piece into the riser, Antenna shielding was tinned and then soldered to a wire which runs down to the negative battery terminal for a ground...

Misspoke when I said Cheerson (all these brands sound the same) I actually meant Cheerwing. No, the Cw4 will not work with the X5C remote and vice versa. It's a totally different board with different features. Cheerwing does re-badge and sell the X5C (who doesn't) but they also make their own...

Anyone know where to solder the ground of a pigtail on the CW4 remote? I wasn't sure if it had a ground pad near the wire antenna or not. I was going to put a regular 3db out the top like on the Syma. As soon as I do that it should finish my project. I just got one of these Cheerson CW4's...

One mod I didn't mention that i did was remove those lower landing mount pieces under the gears. Completely cut these flush. Apparently these were the landing pads of an earlier model? Lowered the weight and more importantly removed the vertical surfaces. Haven't had an issue with this and...

It seemed that on Walmart.com, they had the F-15 for like $39 or something just the other day. That's the price I paid for mine. Unless, the one you were looking at was the one with the wi-fi camera- I wouldn't bother with that. Please note: this one doesn't come with a camera but fully...

Well, I didn't. Like you, I disassemble everything I have! When I heard about the range it had, the first thing I figured was that it probably had a real antenna mod inside. After receipt, I immediately took the transmitter apart. It has a 3DB aerial antenna soldered to the board, running up...

Actually, I think the X5c is pretty damn good in the wind (all things considered). It gets pretty bumpy but for what it is......but I've flown it in winds I shouldn't, and winds a Phantom pilot would leave the field. But that's the advantage of having something this basic in the air- no fear...

I actually tried those X5HC props on my X5C, in the end I went ahead and returned to stock. With those props it seemed like the lift curve was exaggerated, at more throttle the X5C had a lot more lift, at lower throttles the props seemed to reduce the lift. If I throttle down normally, the...

Very Cool indeed! Those 5.8 cameras are the way to go and it looks like you got some altitude there. But, I take it that this one does not record onto a card too right?

Looks like it has been some time since they have posted. Don't think I would bother retrofitting the motors on an X5C. Seems like it would end up being more trouble and expense than it is worth, when you could just move up to another quad which already has more powerful motors, better...
