GTENG T908W review: Wannabee DIY drone
GTENG T908W it is advertised as to be a DIY quadcopter but, if you ask me, it is more like a modular drone. You don't need to solder or something like this, just put together the main parts and you are ready to fly.

Inside the Syma X5C remote controller
Today I opened my Syma X5C 2.4Ghz remote controller. The default range is only 30m and I want to extend this range by adding a 3db 2.4Ghz antenna.
I think it's very easy to replace that fake plastic antenna with a 3db 2.4Ghz from an old wifi router, or you can order one on eBay for only $6.
I think this...

Syma X5C spare parts
Syma X5, X5C and X5C-1 spare parts
Unavoidable, after several crash lands, you will need some spare parts to repair your Syma quadcopter.
After my last crash land I recovered my Syma X5c only after few minutes. Unfortunately, because the motors didn't stopped after hitting the ground, the propellers have hooked in 20cm high grass.
As I am a beginner flyer, of course I have had some...
