First Quadcopter

SKY Hawkeye HM1315 user manual download page SKY Hawkeye is a new name on the quadcopter market and their first model is this HM1315 FPV multi-rotor. Recently were launched many FPV models but this SKY Hawkeye HM1315 is on top of my wish list. It has a battery with bigger capacity than others have and the package also includes a 1Gb microSD TF memory card. The 5.8Ghz remote controller...

MJX X300, MJX X400 , MJX X500 - New FPV Quadcopters Today three new quadcopters from the MJX series were launched: the MJX X300, MJX X400  and MJX X500. All these quadcopters have an amazing design and are using the same GR-246 transmitter. The MJX GR-246 remote controller has a throttle limit knob that allows the pilots to precisely set the flight speed. This feature is very...

JJRC H8C  - Best quadcopter under $60 This new quadcopter comes under different names: JJRC H8C, JJRC F183 or DFD F183. All of them are offering the same flight characteristics and features. They also have the same design and I think that the spare parts are interchangeable between these models. The JJRC H8C has an on-board 2Mp HD camera that allows the pilot to capture aerial videos with...

JJRC H9D First Person View Quadcopter with HD camera Just found this new 5.8Ghz FPV quad from JJRC. Today was listed on one of the biggest online store for only $99.99. Unfortunately they didn't rumored anything about the flight range, FPV range or flight time. The JJRC RC toy manufacturer recently launched many successful models and slowly becomes a familiar name in the world quadcopters. To guaranty the quality...

Syma X5C repair - motor replace Few month ago I crashed my Syma X5C in the backyard and I recovered the quadcopter only after few minutes. Unfortunately, because the motors of the quad didn’t stopped after hitting the ground, the propellers have hooked in 20cm high grass. After I removed all the grasses around the propellers and motors shafts I tried to fly again with my Syma X5C but two of the motors didn’t...

Walkera QR X350 PRO Quick start guides and user manual download Few weeks ago, in the download section, I shared the user manual for the older X350 quad. Now is time to help those who purchased or just are interested in the new Walkera QR X350 Pro. Walkera QR X350PRO quadcopter has the same size as it has the previous model, occupying a square of 289mm x 289mm. The ground clearance is a bit higher,...

DFD F183 quadcopter After I switched ON the DFD F183,  my first impression was that it has enough power and it's noisy as HELL! But lets start with the beginning. My first quadcopter was a Syma X5C that I still own and waits for a motor replacement... Based on my flight experiences with the existing quadcopter, I wanted something more powerful, with better wind resistance and with longer flight range. In the same time not too expensive, because I'm still...

Scout X4 User manual download page On the first flights with the Scout X4 you may experience the quadcopter drifting. This is normal and you have to continue to fly the Scout X4 manually while the system improve the calibration. After 5-10 minutes land and lock the motors. This will save the improved settings. The pilots will notice significant improvement in the GPS hold and stability after a few flights. Looking on...

DFD F183 or JJRC H8C - same quadcopter under different brand Looking for a new quadcopter that will be a good replacement to my dead quad, I found this DFD F183 (a.k.a. JJRC H8C). These two quadopters has the same design and same specs but they have different prices. The DFD F183 quadcopter has the higher price. Probably they tested the market for the optimal price. I think that only after few weeks we...

Skyartec FREE X Skyview GPS quadcopter with gimbal I accidentally came across with this FREE X Skyview quadcopter from Skyartec. It was launched on the beginning of the 2014 and, unfortunately, it was removed suddenly from some on-line shops. There are two possible reason why it was removed from the market: either it has some hidden issues or it's a 100% clone of another branded quadcopter. The Free X...
