Btw i did some 'quick' (day 1) test flight, then i realized it has hidden flight features which not known to the public because to my surprised it uses same flight controller feature used on long my autonomous UAV Z-84 the ARDUPILOT PX4 (Pixhawk) flight controller! wow! But the camera is ok ok only can be easily replaced with improved RUNCAM HD. The GPS lock was solid, RTH landing was spot on and very stable flight. Camera gimbal was very stable and linear. Duration flight was between 13~14min but need more testing.

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.

PART 1: C-FLY DREAM Test flight ...DJI SPARK clone
All right here my first unboxing and test video of C-FLY DREAM. Overall i guess its ok 'FPV drone' for being portable on the cheap. But my hint is i think i could improve those small gimbal vibration and adjust the problematic camera exposure setting on camera board since it has those untapped pin-out on DVR PCB. Well see what i can do next on PART 2. Enjoy the video.

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.
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.
Here's video me flying my 2.5kg plane 1400mm wingspan P-51D Mustang Red Tails flies like

From the spec sheet if your motor around 900KV the max size prop you can use is 2x blade 12"x 5 size. You can use max 4s lipo pack on these motor.
Our insurance usually included as part of R/C flying club membership within club activity but as personal use nope because in Asia there's seldom insurance do such coverage if it does hardly any useful because such services is ambiguous.
Since you flying FPV quad flying next level on FPV plane is top of the food chain, its a whole new experience in FPV world like flying FPV in P-51D Mustang cockpit. I like to fly my FPV plane a lot like this plane i flew inside the cockpit. This one have smaller 960mm wingspan.

SupermotoXL Do you have Eachine ROTG01 Pro UVC OTG 5.8G 150CH Full Channel FPV Receiver W/Audio For Android Smartphone? I found it while browsing Aliexpress. I have old Samsung Note tablet 8.0 that I can use if this device works w/o problem.
No i don't have the ROTG01, i'm using EASYCAP UVC + OTG to connect to my Asus Zenfone smartphone and Asus tablet. However both needed the same requirement since its similar to ROTG01 device.

My article review about C-FLY DREAM After months of testing, flying and enjoying outdoor scene though C-FLY DREAM its about time i've written an article review about this tiny drone, might be a useful guide for future first time drone owner who wanted to get a budget portable drone for fun FPV flying.
