    X5C-1 video problem

    Hehe I still need the bumpers but bought a kit that had landing skids, blade guards, & props. It also included prop screws & blade guards screws. So I used the screws from the kit & a small rubber spacer made from the gimbil protectors.

    Soma X8W Take off

    Mode 1 on Syma transmitters is what we call Mode 2 in the USA. Most U S flyers use Mode 2. Switching moddes on my Syma transmitters swaps the yaw and left/right, out of the box yaw should be on the left stick.

    One in a Billiion this could happen!

    I'm like Sailorsam I buy off Amazon paying extra many times but to me it's worth it. I do have issues from time to time but the issue has always been resolved and in a prompt fashion, this could be in part that I am a Prime member. Quadcopter102 I can't see where your post is out of line all...

    SYMA x8g

    Stormrider, I have read some reviews that say the 8g isn't as stable as the 8c and it's something with the transmitter. If you use a transmitter from the 8c for the 8g it then flies just like the 8c. Did you and your buddy notice any difference in flying the two?

    Flight Log: Tell Us Bout Your Flights

    I don't have the FPV one, mines a straight flyer. I thought about getting the Blade Nano 3D which can fly inverted. The only thing that scared me was the circuit board being the frame.

    Soma X8W Take off

    Are you moving the right stick when your taking off? Also what rate are you using high or low? If you do not touch the right stick and punch it what happens? Mine did that when I had the 2 rear blades reversed.

    What ever happened to 27 and 75 Mhz RC

    Been wondering that myself

    Are we doomed by the ignorance of the masses?

    Just another instance of someone trying to shove their believes down the throat of others. I'm a senior citizen and I think quadcopters (drones) are a blast. Are there people doing thing with them they shouldn't, sure and they should be dealt with individually not take it out on the entire group...

    Flight Log: Tell Us Bout Your Flights

    The UPS driver dropped off the new Blade Nano Qx today. After unpacking & charging I took it for a short test flight. Only been flying quads for a week so what experience I have has been on the x5c-1. Upon takeoff this thing was a beast to control, particially do to the difference in...

    Accessories for Syma X5C-1

    Little bit out of my price range at this time. I went ahead and ordered the Inadequate B6 Mini and parallel board to see how it's going to work for now. Returning the hockey puck charger, the connector got stuck in one of the ports today. Finally got it loose, was scary for a bit.

    Accessories for Syma X5C-1

    I just bought a Blade Nano QX to fly around the house during the winter and hone my skills. It to uses a 1 cell LiPo battery but with a different end so my hockey puck charger won't work on it. Then in spring I want to get something like the Syma 8c or 8g which uses 2 cell LiPos I think. There's...

    Accessories for Syma X5C-1

    That is the one I got last week, I bought some Muder 680 man batteries & a cheap no name charger that looks just like the one by Holy Stone, it's working but I probably need a better one like the HItec. Don't think you can go wrong getting ghr x5c-1

    Think I need a bigger quad

    Interesting reading about visibility of colors http://allrcflight.com/aircraft-visibility/

    Anyone else with this X5C-1 issue/Problem

    What color is the power led on your transmitter? Green powered led is for v3 & v5 boards. Blue power led is for v6 boards. The blue is suppose to work with the v3, v4 & v6 boards YMMV Didn't run across any information as to the differences in the boards.

    I read over on rcgroups forum about a 750 man battery but you will have to reverse the leads on the plug.

The Blue led power light model will work with the v3, v4, & v6 circuit boards The Green led power light model will...

    Soma X8W Take off

    I had the two rear blades on my x5c-1 off today. When I put them back on I had them reversed. Every time I hit the left stick to hover it would flip on it's back. Reversed the blades and it as fine. I would also check to make sure the right shoulder button isn't stuck. This is the one that...
