How can you see it from that high,is the X4 the H107D FPV model and you are flying it by viewing the screen?A slight gust of wind can send it all the way to Singapore if you're not careful.

I'm flying when I'm at the playground area... Only have the H107L to practice... Usually try to fly when there is less wind... But quite hard as the pool/playground area is 150m high from sea level...

That's why looking for another quad that's good to fly in windy situation...

Hi guys!

Wow, looks like most people in this thread flies quads eh?

I'm flying a Walkera V450D03 heli and also have WLToys V977 and V933 micros.

Recently just got a Walkera Devo 10 transmitter and now I can fly all of them with one transmitter! Woohoo! Deviation firmware is awesome!

Thinking of playing with planes and racing quads next time if the budget permits, currently keeping my fleet airworthy is already costing me enough money

I see some people asking for physical shops eh, can head to fb and search for this group 'Dunia RC Group Malaysia', there have quite a few sellers and also once in awhile some people will post quite useful tips etc. Pretty nice platform for discussion there.

I fly quads &heli, transmitter become an huge problem when u own multiple quads & heli. So I Bought this devo 7e and modified it so it can control all my quad & heli.
Added 2 transmitter module inside the devo 7e. Now I can fly every quad&heli that I own .
Seem like very little forum discuss about walkera devention (Devo) with deviation TX firmware.

For those who did mod your devo Please share your modification also

huahhhhh a Devention user! Pretty rare haha. Took me quite some amount of hours to set up the transmitter to how I liked it though, damn complex mixing menu is complex indeed

Mine is installed with the NRF24L01 module ripped off from a V262 quad controller, and a A7105 module ripped off from a V911.

Did you do the range mod on yours though? My friend is asking me to help him do the range mod on his 7E, but does the range mod affect the NRF module as well or just the built in module? As my friend flies with the NRF module usually.

Loving your tri-antenna design though, thinking of doing that as well, but yesterday flew my V977 micro and the range is plenty enough, flew it around 100m away until I had trouble seeing it but it was still under control, so thinking whether is it worth the trouble, plus preferably I would like white antennas on mine

Soldering both modules on the Devo10 is a real killer, it looks like the Devo 7E is easier to solder than my Devo 10. By the way, where did you get your neckstrap CG modifier add-on? And what quads and helis do you fly and where do you fly?

Cheap FPV display solution to enjoy FPV!













I just write up an article how you can save money using your smartphone to enjoy FPV/drone flight or ground FPV than spending thousand of FPV display DVR equipment with just less than few ringgit. I just made tutorial here how you can use your Android smart phone to do FPV thing. Enjoy

Read my article here:

Here some video to get you excited about this cheap and pro level setup:

Looks like Gearbest.com got some good deals again:
http://www.gearbest.com/promotion-kings-of...pecial-190.html
Check em out.

i did the range mod, power my devo up but i didnt test the range. Everything work fine.
BUT
i ordered NRF24L01 but it was faulty (vcc and gnd is shorted). i didnt know at first, so i soldered it in (causing shortcircuit in my devo).
after the NRF24L01 mod, my devo behave very weird, so i suspect the stock module cyrf6936 got fried too. so i ordered the cyrf6936 module for devo 8s and soldered in to my devo 7e ( if u see the pic clearly, my stock module is different).
*managed to get a refund for that faulty NRF24L01

since u r using devo 10, i highly suggest u use the multi module board. i ordered the 3 multi module board. i will do multi module mod for my fren devo 7e and my own devo 7e. will definitely buy devo 10 in the future since i got extra multi module board.
By using multi module board i can install 3 extra module cc2500 + NRF24L01 + A7105 ( i dunno why i need cc2500 cos i dont have any frsky receiver , i do it just for the sake of doing it )

i got mine from ebay, this is very good investment if u plan to use your phone / tablet as a screen.
*make sure the seller is selling the one with UTV007 chip in it or else u might run into compatibility issue.

i hightly suggest u use conductive ink to do the devo 7e range mod. the component inside is almost impossible to see.
if u screwed up the stock devo 7e module, u can always buy module for devo 8s just like what i did to mine.


u can get the neck strap balancer from ebay, i got mine below RM10 2,3months ago. now u need to pay more thanks to our impressive currency performance.

Enjoying my weekend holiday flying my FPV P-51D Mustang long range flight:

Photos:

super cool....i never fly plane before, so far only heli & quad.
any cheap & easy maintenance & highly popular plane for beginner?

Hi guys, previously i was trying to get the Tarantula X6. After reading some reviews, I went for the Syma X8C, since it has more lifting power and more stable in wind resistant than X6.
And yes, the stock 2MP camera is useless, don't waste your time on that. Get cams like Mobius HD / XiaoYi / SJCam.

Tied up my SJCam SJ4000, and fly it up to see the outcome. I would say it works better than I expected.

It seems can fly up very high, till I almost cant see the drone. Fly time is abit short, just around 8 minutes.

Hazy days.. otherwise could be nicer with clouds





Next steps would be upgrade to bigger batteries, FPV and extending the transmitter range.
And off course, need to get rids of those landing legs in the photos.

This post has been edited by mkmobile: Sep 2 2015, 03:54 AM

replace the landing legs by using the dji phantom extended legs.It wide enough to not be seen by the camera and it fits directly to the X8C,the positions of the screwholes are the same.


http://www.amazon.com/Qiyun-Landing-Phanto...r/dp/B00IGRYODS


I think if you do a break in for the motors(running them on low speed without taking off for an entire battery life)you'll get better performance and flight time,as I've seen the X8C flying for 11-13 mins with the stock battery.Also,keep a can of compressed air to blow dirt from the gears from time to time.

Thanks for the suggestion! will try break in the motors and see if it improves.

You're welcome,the break in process works with any RC that uses brushed motors.I also recommend doing a low altitude hover for a few minutes to further break in the motors after the 1st process.It should take you around 20-30 minutes overall,afterwards you can go crazy with it

Do note that the camera can impact the flight time quite a bit,that means w/o the camera you can get up to 14mins of flight and with the camera,the flight time cuts to 8/9/10 minutes.But that depends how fast and high you take it.

And here's a simple range mod video,the stock transmitter has a range of 400 meters horizontal,but this mod can increase it to maybe 600-700 meters.


Tip:After every flight,put the quad next to a table fan to cool the motors as well as the battery.And don't fly it with the camera too often,or else you'll stress the motors and kill them faster.

Where you ordered the CYRF6936 module? I see Banggood had stopped selling it already. Asking it just in case I need it in the future, currently so far so good

Well don't need the cc2500 at all so won't bother doing it. I'll be using the main module for my 450 heli and my NRF module for my V977 micro mostly, Installed the A7105 module to bind with my V911 for fun but either I did something wrong or I fried my A7105 module while desoldering it from the V911 tx. It can bind to my V911 and it the cyclic controls work smoothly with the heli in my hand, but once I spool up the throttle, all cyclic movements becomes jerky. It's like the refresh rate for the servo's are like 2 times per second. Searched around and can't find any definitive answer at all. Tried everything from using other people's model file, reflashing the firmware but nothing seems to work. The V911 is pretty flyable though since the cyclic stick is usually full forward anyways

Also, rerouted my modules location so the antenna is on the upper portion of the transmitter, seems to get better signal now for my V977, tried going roughly 80m without loss of signal, will try 100-120m tomorrow and see if the signal breaks.



Still sad that my A7105 module can't control my V911 nicely though, already tried binding with other V911 and still the same

I may be able to get some cheap used Devo 10's though, someone I know might be selling his, only problem is that he's in Indon and he's letting it go pretty cheap. He have 2 of it, and one of them seems to have a failure in a pot I think as he said the rudder control is gone. Not sure should I take it or not though

What else do you fly by the way? I see a V911 in the photo with the modded paddle flybar. Used to have one of those but broke it and lazy to order again

Here's some photos from last week's flight with some friends. Mine is only the V450D03 with the gold canopy and the V977 micro next to it, no money to afford larger helis



Ultimate goal would be to try everything, fixed wing and racing quads. Already flew Phantoms and Inspires so that's ticked on my checklist


Is that diode really that small? I'm actually thinking of just dripping a drop of solder onto it, totally covering the diode. Do you think that will work?

I see they sell the balancer on Banggood, might consider getting one then.

Woah bro, awesome scale model you have there! Looks like your ADI isn't exactly tallying up with the actual attitude of the aircraft

Looking at your post history and website, damn man you have such extensive history with flying! Sifu!

Want to ask though, usually when you fly FPV, like on your Mustang, what equipment do you use and how far do you fly? vtx, goggles, transmitter etc. Looks like your camera follows your head movement so I'm guessing you're using goggles?

Also where do you fly bro? Would be very interested to meetup with you

i fly lot of quad mini quad but all brush motor, i thinking to buy cheerson cx-20 for my next quad.
for heli i fly v911, v977, super cp, master cp.

didnt noticed any jerkiness in my v911 or v977, seem smooth.

btw, i successfully installed MUlti module into my devo 7e. so not all the protocol is enable.
got 1 exta multi module board, thinking to buy devo 10 or not.



regarding the diode mod, u can drop a soldering iron on top but i strongly advise u work under magnifying glass and using a super fine soldering tip.
conductive ink still the best la, cheap also.

banggood stop selling CYRF6936 chip. maybe run out of stock.

my flybar broke also...didnt know will break so easy , now use back the old flybar
