SEA direct mail is like EMS but better and fast services then Poslaju, i've been ordering through that.  Usually takes about within 9 or if unlucky max 14 days.  You'll need to wait for 2~3 days for your tracking number to appear at Banggood.com.  SEA Direct tracking number starts with A**************. Usually you can track your parcel via NINJA VAN services (https://www.ninjavan.co/en-my) once its in Malaysia territory and it will inform you via SMS if the item already arrived at your town.  But not all district/town have NINJA VAN, else it will revert back to Postlaju service.  However if they sent through Skynet service..then say your prayers,lol.  nod.gif

O.O..... I've bad experience with skynet.....
Please noooooo. Lol

My order is in backorder state. Estimated shipping time is 19th....

Whoa. That's long..... Is this normal ?

Alright guys!  my secret weapon has arrived after waiting for a week!  Its a DJI SPARK rival!  The C-FLY DREAM 2019 batch! This tiny drone looks similar but at half price yet have all the features you want in quality pocket drones.  This thing looks solid and quality build in and out.

Any day now. My quad parts from Banggood are gonna get shipped. ! Anxiously waiting!

Question. How long after shipped it'll reach MY? What carrier they would use? Air parcel register n SEA direct mail any difference?

Sorry for the long winded questions.

Usually in 11 days or less than that by 'SEA direct' much faster than Air parcel. Air parcel is dead slow like waiting mail in 1980s if you're lucky maybe after 2 months..in crumpled state because they treat it like letters.  If you're selecting SEA direct it will choose fastest parcel delivery services available locally.  Here attached is my latest delivery parcel arrived via Ninja Van.  bruce.gif

Hows your order status?

Luckily. Most of the stuff reached. XD
Except for the goggles .. lol
It's still sitting in some warehouse.
Haven't have the time to start the builld though. The fc and ESC all came yesterday. Haha

This is going to be interesting !

My quad's components:
Zmr250 CF frame
Racerstar 20A blheli_s ESC
Racerstar 2206 2200kv brushless
Matek f405 std running betaflight
Matek pdb
Eachine multi power VTX
Runcam swift 2 mini
XM+ micro frsky receiver
Assorted props from bi blade 5030 to 5045 to triblades 5045


I think the ESC may blow with the high pitch props?

Preparing to get my first plane. Never flew a plane before. Ordered a Cessna 182 body kit. Some 9g servos X 4, a 40A ESC with BEC, and a frsky receiver.

Question need some sifu guide.

For motor. Do I use 3536 900kv? Are the mounting screws standard ?

For propeller. Any recommendation ?

Thank you sifus

If you're beginner you should get a glider since its easy to fly.  Cessna in real world is indeed a trainer but in R/C world its doomsday for beginner.  You need to let us know the spec of Cessna eg; wingspan, weight and etc so we could determine how much torque needed to pull this plane into the air and what prop to use + motor + battery.

Oh no. @@. I thought I real life its a trainer plane, should be docile. sad.gif

It's a 1400mm wingspan, flying weight should be 1kg?

Wow that's huge plane for a beginner, but you're in luck because the bigger the wing the slower and docile the flight handling like driving a truck.  So more stable and should be ok for you.  Bigger wings means easy lift and heavy means less likely to get pushed by the wind.  More likely you'll need 4s lipo battery but depends on your motor specification.  What model your motor?  The motor should come with specs what ESC, lipo battery and prop rating you should be using.  smile.gif
Here's video me flying my 2.5kg plane 1400mm wingspan P-51D Mustang Red Tails flies like
