Hello all,
Overall I'm a newb when it comes to building quadcopter.
About half a year ago I bought the eachine wizard x220 and now I'm getting back into some quad flying. Back when I bought it i plugged in the battery without the antenna screwed in so I'm pretty sure the transmitter is broken, Is there a way to easily check if it is indeed broken or not?
Thanks,
Alex
 
Assuming you're talking about your video transmitter? They have changed quite a bit now and can run for quite some time now so it's probably OK. As for an easy way to check it, turn your goggles on and see if you get a video image?
 
He's right, even the old one's can go for a bit. I had a TS58 that went out of range & crashed it. It took me about 10 min to find it & when I did the antenna had snapped clean off. So I soldered a ufl clover to the pads, just for laughs & it worked. Range not so good but done a friend to fly a 4" around his house.
Others were not so lucky.
Since then I've just been careful.
Vtx now are so small they just come off with the antenna no worries.
TBS for example. Smaller than a stamp combined with a ufl clover weighs abt 12g
