SYMA x56W. Why are there no reviews?

[Danbruski]

Hello. I'm 1 year into toy drone dabbling, having gifted a X5c to my now 10 yr old. I like it and want to get one for myself and my other kids to fly. I'd like a folder to take on trips.m, so I found the SYMA x56W, but I can't find any reviews, it doesn't make any "top 10 foldable drone lists, and there's one YouTube did, in French.

Any reason there's no info on this folder? I just want to know if it flies like the X5C or X5HC/W.


Thanks.

so I found the SYMA x56W, but I can't find any reviews,

You won't until you see it sold at Banggood and Gearbest.

Thanks for the reply. I wonder why it's not sold at more distribution points? That's what's making me question the value of this model.

Anyone here have one?

I just got one yesterday from amazon. I may return it. The build is more solid than my x5c-1 that my son lost but the plastic seems more rigid and less forgiving to crashes. I also do not like how i am not able to completely power down and shut off the rotors instantly by moving the accelerator stick down.

The folding option is neat but as of now, i may get another x5c-1

Update 4 days later after receiving it. Copter refuses to connect to my phone so no videos can be taken. As a result of not being able to instantly power down the blades, one of the motors burned out after landing on a patch of tall grass. At this point no spare parts are yet available. Flew nicely when it did work. Very stable with altitude hold and the one touch take off and return is great. For now its out of commission

Here's my review:

To answer your question, it is easy to fly like the X5C and it is super docile in the low rate. This one has altitude hold though, so you won't need to manage throttle as much. I wouldn't put it on any top 10 list, but it's a decent quad. Range is pretty limited though, about 30-meters or so. I really wish Syma would release something innovative with brushless motors already. Hope this helps.
