Flying 3D X6: Cheapest GPS quadcopter in 2014

If you want to move from toy-graded quadcopters to something more versatile, but your budget is limited, the Flying 3D X6 will probably be the first option. This quadcopter is the only GPS model under $200.

The size of this Flying3D X6 is visibly smaller than its bigger brother Flying 3D X8, and also has a shorter flight time. The short flight time is, probably because the quadcopter is loaded only with a 7.4V 2S 1000mAh Li-Po battery.

This quadcopter can be purchased with two different transmitters. The cheapest one is the basic Flying3D FY-Q6 but if you want OSD on your remote controller, you must choose the Flying 3D FY-Q7.

Flying 3D X6 has very good wind resistance and, through the high-precision GPS, can provide extremely stable fixed-point hovering. The auto-return function of this quadcopter will protect your investment against fly away in case of signal loss.

This quadcopter is well-equipped. You can find everything in the package for your first flight. The drone user manual that is also included in the package will help you understand the quadcopter’s features and how you can fly your Flying3D X6.
