i fly syma x8 too, so i added a 5.8ghz fpv with a extra 3s 500mah battery to power my fpv transmitter & cam.. view the fpv using my phone with easycap.

Probably my module is defective then. Shall try ordering a module from fleabay and see how. Though I'm still considering it since I don't actually fly my V911 anymore, just sometimes play v911 battle mode with my friends

Where to get the conductive ink locally and how much it costs?

Standard la V911 flybar, that's why last time when everyday play V911, buying the parts box from Banggood is the most worthwhile

Is the Cheerson CX-20 compatible with Devo? Don't think I saw that in the list of supported models though I do remember CX-10.

But seriously though, the Devo10 is so nice to hold in the hand, much better than the Devo 7E since the Devo 10 is a full-sized transmitter, and the white version looks cool

I have a friend with the Syma X8, don't really like it too much though the way it flies, especially with the slow as hell yaw rate! It's even slower than my V933 micro and I consider that super slow already!

Not sure where to get conductive ink locally, I ordered mine from aliexpress.

Cx20 came with nice remote and everything pre set. So don't think I will fly using devo.

For flying mini quad/heli devo 7e look more "appropriate"...but I do agree devo 10 is better choice. for those who want to get first devo tx, just go for devo 10. Cos if u get 7e u Will want to get devo 10 one day..

Syma x8 is super slow yaw can make it abit faster by using deventionTX setting but still slow.
If u plan to hang a camera on x8 guess slower yaw will be an advantage cos less shaky video.

yeah I see the remote looks pretty decent, but still would prefer to fly everything with one transmitter haha.

IMO for serious video, nothing beats a 3-axis gimbal man

Cant sleep well tonight after i flew away my quad into the skies & never returned

Luckily its just a cheap s quad, but still.....the adrenaline rush & nervouseness haunts me....quite worried too as it seems to lost from sight at some housing area, hopefully it lands on some trees & not on top of someone's car or worse, someone's head...but 1 thing for sure, im quite impress as its still controlable that far just that the wind and ofcourse my noobiness couldnt react fast to recover is the main cause..

Ahhh man....the moment it flew away & getting smaller n smaller with the sunset in the background....damn

I use FPV video goggle with head tracker capability, Ground station unit and high dbi directional patch antenna. Fly between point A-B distance is between 5~7km on normal days with mileage ~25km per-round. On cloudy windy days it can for further and longer thanks to wind lift.
I live in borneo, move about from coastal to coastal to find perfect spot to fly and also check if the zone/area above me is safe to fly.

A glider. BIXLER.

Hi, I have always been a silent reader to this thread but as it's seem few people here are using Devention 10, I had to make my first post here as one of the owner of white Devo 10.
Only with deviation 4.0 though, else is stock as I don't fly wltoys anymore, wouldn't bother to do any module mod

Sorry for your loss,I thought most quads have a failsafe feature where it cuts off power when it goes out of range turn to prevent flyaways.Did you turn off the transmitter as a last attempt to make it fall?

Yeah i did, but it was too late i guess as its flown away that far where i cant see it no more...cant even see it dives down...just lost into the skies, back to china maybe....hmm

Hi all... new here.... might i ask...

can point me some tips on where to start if i want to build my first low budget quadcopter?

And in penang where do you guys normally go fly on weekends?

2axis is much cheaper below usd 50 can get...
Can fly cx20 if install other receiver I believe.

X5c is great brush motor quad. motor is cheap, can buy 10/20 motors as spare ( just to learn how to fly).
Once you know how to fly than can get brushless quad.

I tried those ready to fly low cost imitation quadcopters before. using tiny brushed motors...

Flying basic should be ok. Just i can't stand brushed motors wearing out...@@... haha. Does brushless motors wear out too?

I personally like cx20 due to it open source board & highly customizeable and low prices compare to most brushless quad. Planning to buy few month ago but currency were bad (but now MUCH WORST ).

Bearing & heat are the problem for brushless motor but if you keep motor clean & no extreme flying under heavy load I believe it will last long.

*btw anyone know someone /anyone who planning to sell off his devo 10 (white/black), I want

old picture of me and friend's. Mine is the black one.

Sharing my last weekends FPV flight inside mini size "P-51D Mustang" above beautiful white cumulus clouds and blue skies. Experience real in-cockpit flight.

What model quad is it? I know how it feels bro, I lost my V262 quad on it's first flight after I got it 2nd hand from my friend. Took off from my house and I flew it too far and too high and the wind up there was stronger than expected, couldng't counter the wind and lost orientation, killed the throttle then saw it dropping to one of the houses, spent more than an hour looking for it but no luck eventhough I know roughly where it fell. Most probably stuck at someone's roof already by now. Oh well, at least I managed to scavenge the transmitter for the NRF24L01 module I used to mod to my Devo 10

Damn man, sounds like some really nice kit indeed. Define ground station though? Kinda confused with that terminology. Not too familiar with FPV terms as of yet. You fly in the more remote areas bro? 5-7km is AWESOME range man! What transmitter, vtx and etc do you use? I know you listed in your video but couldn't play it back again as I'm staying outstation now and currently low on quota

You must be Azy Unixxxxx on FB. Same FB group bro

Where you bought your Devo 10 though? I don't see much or any shops bringing in the Devo 10, or any other Walkera transmitter other than the Devo 7.

You can join FB groups like Dunia RC Group and Quadcopter Malaysia etc there are sellers there offering packages and they are really cheap! With a FlySky T6 bundle, you could get one in around RM700. Kit comes with basic frame, 4 motors, 4 ESC, rx and a basic QQ flight controller. Personally really tempted in getting one though, but not sure want to get a plane first or a quad. Also you can find a local hobby store there, I'm sure they have one.

Brushless motors almost never wear out, at least not in the methodology brushed motors wear out. Also they run much cooler. Only thing that wears out on a brushless motors are the bearings but even those are very rare.

Budget berapa bro

Seriously cool! You have GPS telemetry data on your OSD though or you fly purely by sight?

Hmm.... rm700 bucks.... where to find? dunia rc or quadcopter malaysia?


hmmm interested..... i m currently in penang though... they do COD?

A ground station a secondary FPV monitor, a DVR and sometimes a telemetry module attached on tripod to record the plane movement, telemetric information, tracking and also most importantly as plane 'BLACK BOX' should anything happen to the plane. I only use standard 5.8ghz vtx, video goggle with head tracking system, standard FCC compliant radio control transmitter. What make it a successful long range flight was a home made modified video/radio antenna transmission which i built my self thanks to the internet.








Yes it has GPS telemetry data on my OSD, fly beyond light of sight from cockpit view. As you can see inside this video below somewhere in the middle of the video clip there's an inset of HUD(OSD = pilot view) layout that shows instrumental flight data, altitude, orientation and other stuff which allow me to fly without looking outside scenery if i do stuck inside the clouds or flying in the dark just like real pilot.
