do u have an aircraft that u think is suitable for FPV ??
if not u will have to include the cost of that aircraft ...
radio system ?? add radio system cost in if u do not have one already
then add in
video transmitter/receiver .. costs range from rm200-600 depending on specs
goggles/viewing screen ... costs range from rm100plus - rm few thousand depending on specs
camera .. costs range from rm60 - rm1k+ depending on what u want and specs

there are other optional things that some ppl put in FPV aircrafts
not necessary but some ppl just wants it for safety and redundacy
some wants it for bling2 ... hahahahaha

mr daddoo and mr qiw,

i have sold all my rc stuff except for my lama v3,my hk450 and my trex250. as much as i love flying i think this hobby does not give me any other benefuts other than enjoyments....

now im very active in mountainbiking scene, spend almost 10k for my mountainbike already and think this is really for me, it makes me healthy too.

but maybe one day, when i have the dough, i will do FPV... by that time, i hopr its a dirt cheap.

i am in KL laa ... NOT east malaysia

fly your 929 1st laa .. once u get used to it u can go to something bigger
normally bigger = more $$$

it is easier to just list your budget ... and what u already have and dont have ... so we can recommend u stuff to get
pls be aware that whatever i recommend are based on my own experience with the product ...

Added on October 13, 2012, 2:40 pmBro. What's your copter size? 450mm? 550mm?

Any significant difference in terms of price between the 450 and 550? I mean in overall, the motor, esc and battery.

Thanks

bigger size means bigger everything ... motors batteries ESCs etc etc
oso means bigger $$$
on the other hand u would be looking at bigger payload .. possibly longer flight times with less payload

the size is actually the diameter of the copter ... the center being the CG and the motors being the radius

my copter is customed .. 470mm diameter
using 8x4.5inch props ... 1100kv motors
AUW is close to 1KG ... flight time apprx 6mins with 2200mah 3S

quadcopters are the absolutely easiest thing to learn ... besides planes la

u will need a radio controller no matter what u fly
then just get yourself a simulator ... goggle RC SIMULATOR and see if u can get the ehmm ehmmm versions
then make a choice of what u wanna learn to fly

then choose the aircraft according to your budget ...
try and find a group close to your location for more hands on info and guidance ...

bro qiw, what camera you attached on your heli ? very clear, want to get 1 too


for people that just join this hobby

you might google mjx f45 for 4 channel rc heli
price good, quality good, easy to fly

plus can get camera at about rm100 for this one c4002(can capture picture and video by the small red button on top of the controller)

Yes, I am thinking of letting go my quad as well.
Asking for RM500 with the following setup:

1.) CF quad frame 450 size.
2.) SK motor from HobbyKing.
3.) KK+ controller red board.
4.) Turnigy 18A plush ESC.
5.) 8 LED strips attached to the body and night flying is not a problem for sure.

But a little bit scare to send through shipment, got anyone COD in Penang/Ipoh?

v911 is the easiest single rotor heli to fly AFAIK ...
can handsfree it for quite a long time if no wind blowing

dunno when i will be going setapak again ... it is a random last minute thing for me
just go there la ... there are still other flyers doing multicopter fpv sessions there ...

hello~ kinda just wanna ask a little bit. my dad is kinda interested of getting a remote controlled helicopter, so i was wondering is there any good brand or any one will do from times square (for instance). a good shop that sells it? anyone can share more about this hobby or link to it?  sweat.gif thanks
*
v911 ... best bang for buck and very resilient to crashes
as some has stated above .. rm99 from shop in puchong
of coz times square do sell this v911 and will cost more laa since they are operating in a higher cost location

most of the v911 comes in mode 2 ... mode 2 is the closest thing to the controls of a real aircraft
if your dad is starting from scratch ... it would be easy for him to learn any mode

that heli in the picture will not tolerate wind ... so dont take it outdoors or any place with wind stronger that small fan
there should be some trim tabs/buttons on the controller ... just push/press a few click of elevator trim forward and it should be ok

Bro, how to see if the heli can't tolerate wind? hmm.gif Mind to teach me a bit?
Yesterday evening while playing it crashed into tree and hang on top of the tree. doh.gif
Cut the story short, i managed to get it down by using long stick. laugh.gif
Btw, it seems that the second blade which is the bottom one doesn't turn anymore. cry.gif
Duno can be repair or not.. If kenot i will be getting this instead. Think the quality will be much better than that.

the design of the copter u posted is known as a coaxial
ie. top and bottom fixed pitch propellers
by design those cannot handle windy conditions

i would not waste time and $$$ trying to repair that copter
parts will be hard to get and expensive

the new one u listed will handle wind much better and fly better
but flying it will be slightly harder than your old coaxial copter

i would just get the v911 and learn on that
it can handle some wind and quite sturdy to crashes

looks like the new one listed has a 45 degree flybar, so most likely it will fly quite similar to a coax, just a bit better. as oppose to something like a HBFP.

small helis are a little more twitchy and sensitive. bigger ones, because of the weight is less twitchy and more stable, which is why it can handle wind better.

also do note that this hobby requires spare parts. so go with something that you can easily find spare parts. else, you'll be grounded after just a few crashes. remember, spare parts are a must, upgrade parts are optional. definitely true for any beginners. so getting something from walkera or esky is another option as oppose to getting some brand-less one, as these 2 brands have easily accessible parts should you need any, especially in the klang valley.

indoors is definitely the starting point, to eliminate any wind interference while you're trying get used to the controls. make sure you have enough spave though.

http://www.hobbytech.com.my/detail_generat...=AE&code=AE0175
http://www.hobbytech.com.my/detail_generat...=AE&code=AE0174

the last 2 has about 4400mm wingspan ~ apprx 18inches
small enuff to fly indoors ... but not cheap la

edit ... just re-read u are looking for cheap TWO CHANNEL plane
those u cannot get in hobby shop ... try shopping centers toy shop ... sometimes they might have

Thanks for the tip, I work in a high pressure environment. Looking for a simple, easy to fly, no maintenance, slow flying RC plane to burn some stress during my break. The best so far was the silverlit palm z, use to fly it in my office room. However it broke down beyond repair after 2 years, and I have been searching for a replacement. Silverlit no longer produces the palm z. cry.gif cry.gif

v911 is by far one of the most durable learning single rotor heli
great as a stress reliever ... charge the battery using your USB port at PC

i have crashed it on purpose into a wall (not very high speed la of coz)
at about 10ft high ... crash into wall ... i never even walked over to pick up the heli
just throttle a little till the heli sits up and then straightaway fly back .. hahahaha

assuming u are starting from nothing and with no rc experience
u will have to consider a radio (starts from rm200+) .. charger (rm100+) .. batteries (rm100+) .. and crash repair costs
and then the cost of aircraft ...

u can get a quadcopter for around rm300+ if u buy the stuff and build it yourself

or u can choose to get the 929 quadcopter which is perfectly good for learning ... really cheap too

Any idea where i can get this bugger around shah alam / petaling jaya area?

the image, this is not v929's battery
the connector doesnt looks like that^^


Added on December 19, 2012, 3:30 amv929 is very good quadcopter
i myself bought 2, and all friends around me also bought this

but i experienced a lot that cannot balance after few crash, not because unbalance prop, but due to the board problem(the most expensive part to change)

but all in all, it is a good helicopter if you are good luck(crash for many times and still flying )

assuming u are starting from nothing and with no rc experience
u will have to consider a radio (starts from rm200+) .. charger (rm100+) .. batteries (rm100+) .. and crash repair costs
and then the cost of aircraft ...

u can get a quadcopter for around rm300+ if u buy the stuff and build it yourself

or u can choose to get the 929 quadcopter which is perfectly good for learning ... really cheap too

bro QiW, can you guide me to build a quadcopter on my own please
want to know what parts that i need, and where can i get them cheap.

want to lift a camera(maybe)


and what is the best 4 channel helicopter?
i have v911, and that is too slow for me, anything that is faster than that?

thank you^^

It can be used as it is sold as replacement batt @ drc toys . But now i am using the turningy ones here (in the plastic)

Yeah i suffer the same board problem. Changed it to a new board for 45 bucks and it is flying rock solid. Thinking of getting another setup so that i can make it into this

I've got myself a V911 too over the Christmas Weekend tongue.gif At least I got to fly it more than my Honey Bee FP. tongue.gif

Just a question, do we still need to do the swash plate leveling for the v911? I still find it not really flying stable enough. (can't go hands free). Could that due to the stock Radio or just user problem tongue.gif ?

if u suck at electronics then u dont want the F450 package coz the CRIUS controller needs lots of reading and tuning
i have no experience with ideafly but i heard it much easier to tune and fly

a module is the attachment behind those radios that are removable
u can change system from turnigy to dsm2 to flysky without changing the whole radio ... just change the module
but of coz u will need to change the receivers to the ones compatible with your module la
the module is the "thing" that converts standard ppm signal from your radio to the proprietary modulation of that module (dsm2 dsmx fasst flysky frsky etc etc)

Just wondering if the Align 100S/X does feel the same like the v911 "mode 1" flight? Or it's more toward the "mode 2" response? Personally find the Mode 2 a bit too sensitive ....

shouldn't have much differences in handling. clones usually handles the same way, if it's setup the same.

mode-wise, no difference either. it depends on you. which mode your controller is in has no affect on how the heli flies. i prefer mode 1, as i don't trust my left hand with the throttle rclxub.gif .

I am referring to the speed mode for the v911. The mode 1 for V911 is mild mode and the mode 2 meant to be turbo mode where it'll response more to the stick input tongue.gif i.e. Using the stock radio to toggle between mode 1 and 2 using the upper left button. wink.gif I find it a bit hard to control on the Turbo mode (mode 2).

ah...ok. my bad then. i thought you were referring to controller mode. "turbo" mode is probably just a fancy gimmick, but i think if trex100 has that mode, it's just the same.

u are right .. the lithium polymer battery is the one used in most electric RC nowadays
3.7v is the nominal voltage
a 250mah pack will prolly cost u around rm10 or so

these batteries normally comes with 2 point connection only ... as with all DC batteries (including the one in your car)
dunno why yours has 3 wires though .. maybe 1 of the wire is a dummy wire and does not have any function
u will have remove the battery out and check the polarity of your battery with a MM .. no worries u will not blow anything if u have it reversed
when u find the positive and ground of your old battery then u can proceed to solder whatever connections u need to the correct polarities

Okay thanks for the info. Also I was thinking, should I get specifically 250mah? Or could I go higher? Say 1000 mah? As far as I know, the higher the mah, the longer the run of the battery right? Would it damage the player, or should I stick to the 250?

About the connections, I prefer to just purchase the battery, then go to my local electronic shop and ask them to solder it for me.

Also, where can I buy the batteries here in malaysia? Anyone selling online through postage, would be much easier smile.gif

Thanks a lot!!

in terms of circuitry, a circuit will only draw as much power as it needs (as in amps). more mah simply means the batt will last longer, no damage what so ever. over voltage however, is dangerous. 1000mah lipos are fairly big though, so you might want to check fitting. here's a sample(with measurement):

Dear expects,
Want to check if i want to buy this radio from rcsmart, is it worth buying it? FS-TH9B 2.4G 9. This one come with module right? I got 1 v99, 1 honey bee v1 and 1 honey bee v2 at home. Both honey bee running on FM. I know this radio work with V911 out of the box (was told so), what about making it to work with the FM bees? Possible? Or lots of additional components and effort needed>

Thanks

the honeybee control board has receiver and gyro built in together
u have to separate the receiver section from the gyro section
then re-wire the new receiver into gyro section ..
yes it will work but modification work is needed ..

there are lots of other "less prestigious" brands that flies very well
i sold off my DJI controller already .. says so much for DJI .. hahahaha

depending on what u wanna fly and do and read and build
a basic quad would prolly cost around rm500 depending on what controller u wanna use (assuming u already have radio system and batteries)
then the addons will start to get u laa ... hahahaha

also, which model is easier to find replacement parts?

Hi guys,
Anyone here from sg petani?
Where can i find any RC shop in sg petani or area nearby?
I'm looking for a replacement battery for my RC Heli, Syma s33.
The stock battery seem very poor since it just last for ~5min flying time.
Can anyone here recommand me any good battery?

Guyyssss, I'm in need of help.

I have the Align T-REX 700 Nitro model with a 7 channel JR PROPO XG7 controller. I've assembled and flew it for the initial test flight, just to see it working so hovering it slightly above ground is enough for the time being. Thing is, I'm planning on adding additional servo for FPV and etc.

I'm totally new and this is definitely gonna sound like a noob question so bear with me tongue.gif
How do I actually switch to other remaining/spare channel aside from the rudder, elevator, aileron, and throttle? Been cracking my brain but I still can't figure it out. Hope Sifus in here can help.

1st ... your radio only supports 7 channels
your heli already using at least 6 channels ... maybe even all 7 channels
u will need to fully understand your radio or see the person who set it up for u

2nd .. engines are normally bad news for FPV coz of too much vibrations
and single rotors are much more dangerous compared to multi rotors
multi rotors are cheaper too .. hehehe

Hai, everyone... I just bought this few weeks ago. Been flying and crashing for a few times. Can anyone here recommend a suitable RC plane flying site around KLANG. The only place I can find is the park in Pandamaran, its huge like 4 football field size. But its quite occupied with footballers in the weekend morning and evenings, only time its safe to fly is week day mornings.

Another thing I would like to ask is,I sought of loss control or had only intermittent control of my plane last week after flying 20 minutes. I landed the plane and changed the planes lipo battery which was newly charged. But then it happened not long after take off. It crashed into a tree and managed to get it down. The radio's battery indicator was still green and when I went nearer I could still control all the control surfaces.

Is this a sign that the plane went out of the radio's range???

range depends on your radio .. nothing to do with your plane
radio frequencies are prone to interference ... thats why radios are important

if u are using the radio that came with that plane ... i would advise u to not fly too far
if u are thinking of long term investment in this hobby then get a good radio ... it will be totally worth it

i know the field of which u are talking about .. pandamaran sports complex
i wanna try to fly there too one day .. hahaha

hey guys. suddenly interested in this RC heli hobby. what you guys reckon a beginner buy? i've heard that more expensive ones with powerful motors are easier to fly due to their better power-to-weight ratio.

also, are gas-powered RC helis still available? might be interested in those too.

budget 4-5k. and my aim is to build a nice heli with Airwolf fuselage (with all the bells and whistles like retractable landing gear, etc). hope sifu can shed some light on what to get and the recommended shops. biggrin.gif
i've so far heard of Hobbysportz Paradigm Mall and RC Smart Amcorp Mall. I'm from PJ area myself btw.

what i heard from my friend (i'm a beginner myself) start with cheap and small plane/heli electric heli first.but good radio can be good
for heli, go for v911 micro electric heli..don't go those big electric/fuel heli first coz the blades are strong and fast, can chop off your fingers very easily
not sure for plane tho..

with a budget of 4-5k ... u can start with a good radio ... highly recommend the futaba 8FG ~ 1.3k
then decide on your choice of helis

within your budget
u can either buy new or 2nd hand ... IC powered or electric

bigger is better coz its is less sensitive and handles wind better
bigger is oso much more expensive ... unless u go the IC way
IC = internal combustion .. u will need to know how to tune the engine well in order for it to operate well
bad tuning normally results in poor power and engine shut down during flight

i myself is an electric guy so cannot help u in the IC dept ...
electric is just plug and play
but batteries has higher cost in the long run

your remaining 2k+ ... (if u choose to go the electric way)
i would choose either a 450 size to be cost effective
a decent 450 would be slightly less than 1k
300-400 for budget batts and charger (high end chargers cost much more)
scale body apprx 300-700 depending on your choice
thats almost 2k spent

since u are starting from nothing ... and no RC experience with helis
i suggest u keep the remaining balance of your budget for repairs and parts

get a simulator to practice ... this way u can learn alot while crashing less
then practice and practice more
when u feel confident enuff ... put the scale body onto the heli

good luck !!!

Hi guys,

I'm new to this forum but have already flown several 4 ch FP helis like V911, mjx f45, v929 etc. Im starting to go with multirotors route, maybe aerial photography and FPV next.

Recently I just ordered Walkera UFO MX400S (RTF and its just look sleek and nice). Anyone here have flown and deal with this model before? Any advice or tip would be very helpful since there are not many reviews or videos about this model on the internet. Thanks

my experience with walkera is lack of local support for parts
and the parts are not cheap at all

most of my multirotors are kit or scratch build based and i add on the power system and electronics myself
depending on what u wanna do ...

Thanks bro. Yeah, but what I read is that gas powered heli is much more easier to control due to superior power-to-weight ratio. Hmmm. But perhaps for beginner like me, should try small ones first.

Thanks a lot bro for the very very detailed introduction to RC heli. biggrin.gif

Now I need to find myself a shop to shop for the stuff. Any recommended ones?
Is RC Smart (Amcorp Mall) or Hobbysportz (Paradigm Mall) better?

Also, most likely will go for Futaba 8FG as you recommended. thumbup.gif

Mind to list what are the recommended exact parts to get for it (like which 450 model, and which batteries and charger, I don't mind to spend more for batteries as I'm a fan of really long flight times)? Or should I ask the shop to recommend to me? sweat.gif

Cheers bro! rclxms.gif

i have not been to hobbysportz in a long time ... but not cheap la i know
rcsmart may have more choices ... and maybe slightly better prices

i get most of my rc stuff online .. even my batteries
now there is a very competitive local seller ... myrccorner.com.my ... i think
his 450 heli and lipo batts are price very competitively
dunno if he sells radio (8FG) ..

i have flown 911 .. similar size CP helis ... 250 size helis .. 450 size helis .. 600 size helis
just telling u from experience ... hehehe

i have even tried flying the 911 into wall (not so hard la) to see how crash resistant it was
the result ... i did not even have to go pick it up .. i just throttled up and flew it again

911 can be found for around rm100 or less and comes with 2 batteries and charger and radio
no big $ there ... just buy and fly it la

haha...i only see 2 reason why one would slow down and maybe quit:
1. money
2. boredom

my 2 cents on it is to take slow. the slower you progress the longer this hobby will last and the least likely you get bored with it. if you decide to go hardcore from the beginning, you'll probably stop before 3 years(due to money spent or boredom). icon_rolleyes.gif

Don't like the radio and motor driven tail blade. Brushed motor also, am I right?

A lot of my friends are playing this V120D02S, much more durable than 4G6/4G6S.

Crashed the heli at least 5 times but only broken the landing skid and 2 tail gears. Never changed my feathering and main shaft because it is not bent at all (but I crash on the field lah instead of concrete or tarmac).

There was once I tried to cut grass but the heli sucked up by the grass, wahahahahhahahah.

The BNF heli can be purchased around RM510 from HK including shipping. For WK 2801 Pro radio, you just need to add one adapter to control those Devo series heli like this one and the adapter only cost you around RM70.

Where is Slapshock? Is this how a fireman behaving by starting a fire and then sneaking away? tongue.gif

I got myself a v911 type helicopter and all I do when I try to fly it, is crash it. So I got myself a bigger heli (V-max) but that crashed on the very first flight (into the neighbor's roof) and cannot fly properly, it just keeps rotating on the ground. I have changed the stabilizer bar, had to resolder the wire and change other parts on the v911.

I'm thinking, this r/c helicopter hobby is not for everybody. Even hovering indoors takes so much of an effort and only to crash it. I think I'm giving up on this as I'm not going anywhere. Or maybe I'll try the FPV type flying.

Any comments or suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.

well...that's the challenge, is it not? hovering is actually quite hard for beginners until you get the hang of it, but it's the staple maneuver.

FPV actually requires more budget and if you can't even hover in tail-in without it, then i don't see how it can help.

hovering is quite hard actually, took me 2 days to not crash so much on the air ( still can't hover smoothly ). btw, how do you crashed your v911? my v911 survived at least 30 times of crash lol

I too, taught myself to fly. Got started in 2011. Practiced flying on simulator for months before flying an actual airplane. My first plane was an electric C182 foamy by ST Model. Got the RTF one with a China-made radio. On the first flight it dawned on me how different real world is to flying in the simulator. In the simulator there's very little depth perception unlike real world, so your eyes kinda get used to staring at the model all the time and you need to retrain yourself to rely on peripheral vision. Anyway my first flights were not so good, my landings were hard and I constantly had issues with the nosewheel of the plane (the plane was a scale plane, not built with beginners in mind, my mistake ). The final straw was when the motor threw a magnet and the C182 has never been flown since.

I never had problems with CG or with putting parts together (the foamies are simple enough to begin with), coming from an aeronautics background (I'm an aero-engineering final year student, did my homework on electric flight as well). Over the months I practiced a lot more in the sim and moved on to better and bigger planes (all foam so far) I can now fly simple aerobatics and do proper take offs and landings (as in scale-like take offs, not jumping off the ground and gentle touch-down-on-the-main-wheels landings). Got myself computer radios as well, the DX6i and Futaba 6J. I think I can now call myself a semi-beginner, still a lot to learn 'cause I've only been flying on-and-off, like every three months whenever I'm away from uni on breaks. Last month got my first balsa ARF kit, planning to put it together after graduating. Wish me luck.

You can teach yourself to fly, as long as you're prepared to at least learn how planes fly, to invest in a good simulator and spend endless hours practicing in said simulator and to always keep safety in mind. I fly alone all the time, never had anyone coaching me. Mind you, while the simulator is an indispensible tool, it's only good to train your orientation, it can never replace depth perception in 3-dimensional world, wind in your hair, turbulence, the heat, dust grass etc etc in the real world.

Bottom line is, it is very possible to teach yourself to fly/belajar terbang sendiri..

get a good model with a lot of spareparts
like v911,mjxf45

get more batteries


get a bigger indoor field like badmintion court

for v911, just prepare extra mainblade, and tail motor(other parts can hardly broke,even break, still can fly)

just play it anyhow you like, cut the throttle before you crash, it will survive almost any crash

after you get used to the stick , then you can start to learn hovering

zeroglyph,

I think the problem I have with LOS flying is that I'm not good at orientation and unless you are just going forward (away from you) it is never a constant. I find that particularly hard.

It is also easier to launch it with my hands than from the floor. That only makes the helicopter spin around on the ground. I more or less rectified it as there was a strand of hair stuck in between the tail rotor and it couldn't spin as it should causing the whole helicopter to spin. It still spins but it can be controlled better.

That's why I thought FPV flying maybe a better choice and I can get an AR Drone for about $1100+.


infrasonic,

Actually, I've been trying for more than 3 months (maybe 10 days flight of 20 min each). I've crashed it more than 20 times per flight (in that short time it is in the air: 5 to 15 seconds). The stabilizer bar broke after it got entangled with my blanket.I thought this will be marginally more difficult than r/c cars but the difference is significant.

babyandy,

Thanks a lot bro. I'll sure check out the link for any tips and locate a flying field with some experts near my house.



BTW I also tried/use an android based simulator.

LOS orientation experience can only be gained thru practice (whether SIMULATOR or real life)
learn the hard way ... master each orientation b4 moving on to the next ... tail in ... side in ... the other side in ... then nose in
always try to find someone to fly with .. flying alone is boring and one of the fastest way to kill your interest in this
AR DRONE is only good for short distance as it is wifi operated using I/ANDROID devices and will not go far ... u will need proper RC stuff as it will go out of range very quickly when u FPV .. it is a very stable flyer though
it preferred to use a SIMULATOR with a proper radio size controller ... that way u get the "feel" of the stick instead of sliding around the screen on the phone

what QiW said plus thumbup.gif :

orientations is practically the bane of this hobby. you just need to get use to it. which is why you 1st need to learn to hover tail-in(heli tail facing you). you should only starts different orientation after you can hover in tail-in with muscle memory. as in you don't have to think about it anymore. this is so that if you panicked in some other orientation, you can always go back to tail-in in a heart beat.

then only starts forward flight, circles, figure 8 and what not. i came from RC heli sim games, so yeah, i too have orientation problems in the beginning, but getting more confident nowadays.

911 are pretty stable, i could hover it in mode 2 even though i'm only used to mode 1. so it should no pose much threat. the easy thing to do is to reposition yourself to tail-in everytime the heli changed direction, that how i practice.

QiW,zeroglyph,

Thanks bros, for all your advices.

I think the first time you try r/c flying, you tend to think you are a hero. Especially when the box advertise "Ready to fly". The big heli I bought went from ground to my neighbours house in a single finger action. I didn't get to do anything else. I'm going to try hovering for now.

yup...its all in the word RTF. But at same time it can be either...RTF for both heli and flyer or RTF in terms of that you need no other components and that particular heli is really ready to be flown out of the box regardless whether we as flyer are already ok, still learning or a 1st timer. Most of us can learn to fly with or without sims. So...take it one at a time...good luck bro.

need a little verification here in regards to FPV flights. the basic things you would need for this would be:
1. a camera(duh!): this needs to be able to output the video to a screen (like tv or something). any camera will do as long as it can output the recorded video(i.e: what it sees).
2. a video tx: this will basically take the video output from the cam and transmit it wirelessly
3. a video rx: the will receive the signal from the tx and in turn, output it to something else
4. display unit: this will receive the video from the video rx and display it. can be either an LCD unit, a goggle or whatever that can receive the signal.

am i getting this correctly? obviously the interfaces which these devices connects to each other needs to be considered, right? not likely it'll be standardized.

that is basically what u need ...
choice is video transmission is important .. eg if u flying u are using 2.4 obviously u will not wanna use 2.4 as video
try to place vtx and rc rx as far apart as possible to avoid interference

try to get someone to spot for u on the 1st few flight to avoid mishaps

the rest u will figure out as u go by .. hehehe

edit ... i use servo connectors to connect between these video devices
u will only need 3 wires (video power & ground) if u do not need audio which u prolly wont coz all u will hear is the motor sound unless u power off and just glide high up

depending on which vtx u choose
typically .. the specs includes weight
eg. this one http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/_...ransmitter.html
weighs 25gm ... but thats without antenna and wires attached laa

some like this one http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/_...amera_NTSC.html
comes in a casing ... that casing oso acts as heatsink
but the casing is super heavy ... can be removed .. u will need to make a lighter fin type heatsink for it la

oh man...looks like i'm gonna need a bigger bird to mount all these stuff. definitely can't go FPV with a small honey bee. sweat.gif

btw, you got any experience with those KDS CP heli? how's the quality on those things? so many variations. rclxub.gif not looking for too much stunt flying(not really ready for that), just looking for a 450 worthy of outdoor flying.

if u are starting from scratch .... then rm500 budget could possibly get u some 2nd stuff for plane
possible laa ... maybe u might have to top up a bit for batt and charger

if heli ... then just get a v911 for about rm100

I spend RM550 at RCSMART Amcorp mall and got:

One unit J power Sky surfer Ready to Fly, which includes
=One Trainer plane, 1400mm
=One 3s lipo battery 1300mAh
=One 4 channel radio transmitter
=One battery charger/balancer (never used it, only charges)

One 3s lipo battery Turnigy 1300mAh(I got total of 2 as one only last about 10 minutes each charge)
One 4 button lipo charger with power supply (Can auto cut power when battery full, fast charge, balance charge and storage charge=makes the battery last longer)
One 5 minute epoxy glue (to assemble the plane and repairs when you start flying)

ALL NEW

You can get one, but I suggest you at least get those free RC flight simulator available on Android phone and practice a few hours before attempting to fly one. Its really not as easy as it seems. I crashed mine real bad on the first few flight.

Youtube has been my best teacher regarding this hobby

How to fix after every crash


The Sky surfer I bought is actually copy cat of this


The battery for this hobby


My plane has crashed more than a dozen times, some more than 5 floor high straight down. Its been 4 months and I'm still flying the same plane, with some additional glue and tape and carbon fibre reinforcement every time it crashes.

crashes are pretty much as frequent as charging in the beginning. and it doesn't end there. laugh.gif

so to save yourself the pain, get something that's crash resilient to train with. as much plastic parts as possible. plastics are cheaper to replace. it's not hard, thus it can break to save the other more expensive parts. a plastic heli rotor head > metal ones for training thumbup.gif .

im new as well and very interested in quadcopter, especially the ones with camera since im sort of an amateur enthusiast video cameraman as well. i've been looking around lowyat but the only beginner-ish quad available with cam onboard is the UDI 818A. unfortunately i cant find a video showing the cam quality. ive also come across the V959 and the video looks great but doesnt seem like anyone in lowyat forums is selling it. any idea where i can find it in shops in malaysia? or if there are other alternatives?

thats why u would choose to pay using PAYPAL and use EMS shipping
google up why PAYPAL is the safest way to pay ... smile.gif

so far i have only filed 2 PAYPAL claims and i got reimbursed
and i have over 100 transactions using it

just got my v913.. still working on getting it to hover without moving sideways.. fun biggrin.gif

is there a way to check how much battery is left on the heli? or at least indications like harder to control etc? also what happens if the heli runs out of range? if say i put it on forward, then out of range will it continue going forward, or will it stop and just hover?

no idea now your copter will react when it runs out of range
different setup will react differently ... but most of the time in default settings the copter will just switch off throttle and drop to ground for safety reasons

u can always buy a battery monitor that beeps telling u it is time to land ..
something like this .. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/_...arm_2s_4s_.html or this .. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/_...tage_Alarm.html

generally, when you require more throttle to hover than usual, it's time to stop flying and recharge. those beepers works too, if you have room to mount 'em.

depends on what you're running. obviously a brushless motor can run a bit longer than a brushed. also bigger batt capacity = longer flight. most stock 2 cell lipos heli could go 6-10mins. 3 cells lipos could go up to 12mins. most of the time, the concern is overheating motor(s) & overheating battery. helis requires constant power draw, this puts loads on the batt thus heating it up. and i'm sure most people know how dangerous a lipo can be when hot(cheap ones can downright goes bloated and explodes). try running a 15C lipo on any type of Extreme brushed motors for just 6mins laugh.gif .

too eager, right? probably the main reason for crashes. brows.gif

take it slow. get hovering and orientation 1st, then only proceed to outdoor forward flight. else, it's pole and trees all the way.

Anyone still flying the Honey Bee FP? I am thinking of giving up on mine. tongue.gif I got lots of parts and have one v1 and one v2 with me. I did managed to do a bit of hovering last time .. but since a couple of crashed quite some time ago, now that I am taking it out to try .. it does not seems to take off at all even at full throttler. (like max about 1/2 inches from the ground) ....

i'm on a v2. could use the spare parts. parts are pretty scarce nowadays. i plan to keep mine flying(love the thing). PM me the deal. thumbup.gif

probably your motor(s) and/or 4-in-1 is busted. or that ring-like-o-rod on the main rotor is broken. the HB is pretty simple to figure out. usually if it won't take off, it's something to do with the rotor head.

flying time varies from copter to copter
mostly depends on your AUW (all up weight) of your copter
heavier of coz lesser flight time

1650kv seems like an odd kv for multicopter ... 8 inch or 7 inch propeller ??
have u tested flying with it ??

RC Aerial footage over Putrajaya Wetland

There were a few other RC hobbyist there, but I was a bit shy la... blush.gif



Low altitude filming of other people flying their RC planes, not very successful. I think I'll leave the low altitude filming to Copters... lol



Try identifying the other RC model on film... Not so clear cause vibration making it a bit blur

need advice, between this V911 RC copter and this cheap RC plane which one will be easier to fly? will get this as gift to my 12yr nephew.

due to the law of physics and mechanics, any heli is harder to fly than a plane. the hard part with planes are the landings only.

as long as your nephew has the space, the plane will be way easier.

there are other options that are cheaper than the phantom
i am currently building one for about half the price of a phantom set but has more capabilities than the phantom
it all depends on how much u wanna spend .. in monetary terms and time to dedicate yourself to read and learn
if u just want ready to fly/plug and play with minimum setting up ... maybe the phantom could be good for u smile.gif

agreed. usually about 100 only. 250 can get you a lama v4 already, which is way better in the long run.

usually it's around there for most RC flyers(even high end ones). believe me, 10 mins is actually a long time to maintain concentrations. just buy more batteries. nod.gif

hi guys,

I am interested to get a quadcopter for Aerial photography purpose. Any recommendations on something that would be good for a Hero3? Budget below 1k if possible.

I also have little experience doing RC flying, so something easy to fly or durable would be good.

Sebana Cove, Johor
It was a run down and neglected 5 star hotel + yacht club few years ago. Until recently it was acquired by IJM and a complete interior renovation have been carried out.
An overnight stay cost RM280 for 2 and is well worth the price as it also offers fresh air, a serene environment and some small wildlife.

There was some strong winds as it was near the sea and I didn't dare to fly too long as it was gradually picking up. The plane was stationary in the sky going against the wind at half throttle, and I usually cruise at half throttle. One test flight and another Aerial recording flight and I called it a day.

Didn't have my laptop around so didn't realised the beautiful scenery that was captured. If I knew, I would brave any storm to continue filming and flying till all my batteries were drained.

PS, One 2200mAh 3s pack can provide 20 minutes of flight time. And I had 3...T_T

depending on the extent of the damage, taping might make flying even more difficult, as the tape might disturb the aerodynamic of the blades. rotor blades are cheap, i suggest just use the spare.

crashing is a prerequisite, so don't worry too much about. besides crashing a 911 is cheap compared to the bigger helis.

just to note, main rotor blades are factory balanced in pairs. additional weight from a tape on one side 'might' throw it off balanced. if you don't feel any difference after adding the tape, then you probably got lucky laugh.gif .

no idea on where to get spare blades though as i don't own a v911. the shop you bought it from should carry it.

as i said, if you don't feel any balance issue in flight, you got lucky. just leave it as it is. nod.gif

look at the spinning blades as you hover, they should spin on the same horizontal plane.

Recently, there has been an increase in RC flying in Malaysia. Several are simply hobbyists while some are commercial purposes.

It's important to highlight the efficient uses of these unmanned aerial vehicles/systems/platforms popularly known as drones.

* Search and Rescue
* Aerial Cinematography and Photography
* Remote observation of towers, bridges, masts (hard or costly to reach places for maintenance)
* Aerial Video Coverage of Sporting Events, Protests, human movements
* Tactical Surveillance (help law enforcement is data acquisition)
* GIS survey and Mapping
* Accident Investigation
* ETC.....

Let us not be confused by the US military drones being used in combat theaters. We are more interested in discussing about any unmanned aerial system that could be used to improve civilian lives, and services.

This thread is also open for comments and discussion on safe usage and privacy issues in regards to these machines.

I guess so though my purpose was not to reintroduce the thread but to seek to create some kind of awareness that we all could actually band together to form a more vibrant community of pilots, flyers, controllers, (whatever name one chooses), etc.

The community could then grow and mature in ways that beat simple cyber-hangouts such as these. Not that i don't like it.

I do understand that many of us have our different fly groups and areas where each prefers to fly but imagine if most of us could actually come together and fly; like a RC festival or something. we could also be able to become a force for positive change in the minds of people about these unmanned aerial platforms and the immerse advantages they bring in a whole lot of sectors.

I do understand that many of us have our different fly groups and areas where each prefers to fly but imagine if most of us could actually come together and fly; like a RC festival or something. we could also be able to become a force for positive change in the minds of people about these unmanned aerial platforms and the immerse advantages they bring in a whole lot of sectors.

very difficult la
everybody has a their own agenda ... money is a very strong pushing force
and also a very intimidating force for some ..

all the things u have listed above has some sort of commercial value .. if someone is going to take the responsibility to do it then they will expect some sort of payment
those services encompass the safety of all around it flies .. if it is being done commercially then there are rules to follow ... not just hentam only la .. LOL

i fly and take videos for fun .. for my own satisfaction ... nothing commercial
i actually fly with a group of ppl with similar interest ... some have their own agenda (not loudly sounded of coz)

My Syma X6 crashed and burned on a very high roof yesterday, I could see it stuck with a broken motor mount and the props were unable to turn. Then it rained...

Oh well, what better time to upgrade to a DJI Phantom biggrin.gif

Item no.3, where to do that coating? Any samples after the coating?

Anyway, this is a snapshot from last Friday at Setia City Mall. Noticed the haze is so terrible that day, decided to fly my P2 for aerial shot of the surrounding.

My very first quad-copter flight and video. Pardon my shaky decent guys. My apparent lack of piloting skill and the strong wind at high altitude contributed to the shaky vidz.

Any recommendations on where to get a DJI Phantom FC40 in the Klang Valley area? I've seen one or two eg March but they're advertising the FC40 at RM1799. Thinking of getting that plus the iPad Ground Station for some waypoint capability.

Alternatively I could probably build my own with a F450 too but I'm not sure I want to go that route since my previous experience is mostly toy quads.

That's a good price for a FC40. I usually sell them for RM2100 excluding the iPad.

hi;

anyone has experienced the Walkera V400D02?

thinking of upgrading from my HBFPv2 to a CP, but don't really want to go to a full size 450 and all that fancy(complicated) stuff. not really into 3D flying either, just want something that can handle a bit more wind. some questions comes to mind:

1. i'm sure it'll fly the same as my HB(normal flight), but how does the "flybarless" system change the flight characteristics?
2. seems it runs on a 380 motor, would the xtreme motor upgrades for the honey bee works for it as well(also direct tail drive)?
3. it would be about the same size as a HBFPv2, right?

not for serious one. just for playing only. Gimbal maybe for later when i've learned how to use the phantom to its full potential.

Right now I think i'm just gonna wait a couple of months save some more money and jump straight into phantom2 with gopro hero3+. No point buying the older phantom1 or fc40 if i'm just gonna regret it later.

btw your gopro is black edition or silver? got any video u captured using the drone u can share?

DJI phantom is like a Mercedes

Walkera is like a Toyota

They are both Quads and both has almost the same function.

You won't say a Toyota is a ripoff of Mercedes just because they both have four wheels. When they both perform the same function. Just one slightly better then the other.

If your just starting into this RC hobby, I would advise you to prepare for crashes. You might be able to afford the Quad now, but try looking into how much the replacement parts cost, like the propellers, batterys, landing gears. Especially the propellers...

Just my opinion and advice.

I'm into fixed wing only and I have a small budget. blush.gif

oops my bad I checked the x350 not x350 PRO. Granted the x350 PRO is much better than its predecessor but tbh it costs more than phantom1 so you cant really say it's cheaper.

hobbyking that u suggested there listed it at 659 usd (~rm2150) not including shipping+ taxes and you still have to buy your own gopro that's another 1.2k. For that kind of price I might as well get the phantom2 locally with the added advantage of having peace of mind in case need to repair or claim warranty.

what do you mean by fixed wing? do you own a x350 pro already?

Price difference for the whole unit in comparison, Walkera is only cheaper by a few hundred. But the price of replacement parts,

Walkera battery cost about RM150 and DJI cost RM520 same capacity battery.
Props for Walkera a pair is about RM10 and DJI is about RM55 a pair.
Gimbal for Walkera is 2D and for DJI vision is just 1D.

I don't think any of our RC equipment comes with any form of warranty...

Foam airplanes = fixed wing...

I was seriously considering to start on multirotor, but exceed my budget la. For now... blush.gif

Na... Sample of my noob aerial filming...



Its filmed with a plane, so don't expect it to stay static. Haha...

Next step for me is FPV... rclxms.gif

If you've never really played RC before, I suggest you do some practice on simulators. So as to improve your orientation skills, so you won't crash the real thing as much.

Multirotor crashes aren't cheap, especially with DJI.

There are free ones if you're using an android phone. Just go to google play store and search for 'RC Simulator'.
The helicopter ones should be the closes thing to multirotor. And I think majority of the RC enthusiast uses Mode 1 on their radio transmitter.

There is a lot of other info in youtube also, search under 'Flitetest' and 'RCmodelreviews'

build your own quad ... a cheap one will cost less than rm500 excluding radio and battery costs
and it is capable of lifting a gopro without gimbal

there are cheap options and expensive options when u build your own
so everything is entirely up to u

for eg.
my 4 motors alone costs more than a complete axn cloudsfly
but there are even motors that are much more expensive
at the same time there are oso motors that are about half the price of mine

majority of world champion level fliers uses mode 2 tongue.gif

Price difference for the whole unit in comparison, Walkera is only cheaper by a few hundred. But the price of replacement parts,

Walkera battery cost about RM150 and DJI cost RM520 same capacity battery.
Props for Walkera a pair is about RM10 and DJI is about RM55 a pair.
Gimbal for Walkera is 2D and for DJI vision is just 1D.

I don't think any of our RC equipment comes with any form of warranty...

Foam airplanes = fixed wing...

I was seriously considering to start on multirotor, but exceed my budget la. For now... blush.gif

i watched your plane video and i got motion sickness tongue.gif if you go fpv maybe you might even faint from motion sickness lol. but rc plane is cool when u can control it since it looks hard to fly. You flying near cars not scared of crashing there?

i honestly dont know what/where to buy now. I had a look at hobbyking and noticed that malaysian buyers can only buy items worth 200usd max laugh.gif Too many scammers here.

Any idea if there's any malaysian rc shop selling walkera x350 pro? Or suggestion of other trusted sites to buy it? Also if buy from oversea someone said it could be up to 30% tax walao

sure it's cheaper but it's gonna take me alot of time to learn and build it and i dont really have much time. Then there's always the risk of screwing up the assembly. i'd much rather get a rtf set and be done with it

Already pre warned as 'noob' tongue.gif

I just need a flight stabilizer for the plane... should improve quite a lot after that. Its already on the way in the mail... brows.gif

I'm flying with Frsky... Guarantee no signal loss. laugh.gif

I fly quite high also... Enough space and time to recover. If I do fly low, it would be over a field...

I think you need to double the budget to even be able to built a cheap one yourself.

Those that come ready to fly aren't cheap. At least 4 digit I would say

My attempt at cloud surfing...

Lost site of the plane in my first attempt and saw it coming back down in a death spiral. Manage to get it back up with some elevator and throttle.

This is my second attempt... Rain clouds are heavier and so they are the lowest clouds...

i think it'll help more if understand the difference between a coax, v911 and v933.

if you can't fly a coax, you can probably fly a v911, but definitely not v933. hence, your current predicament.

to start u will need a radio/transmitter and receiver
then batteries to suit ... charger for the batteries
those are not included in the below costs

depending on how big u wanna go ...
most DIY quads starts from around rm300+
these quads are NOT TOYS ... they can chew up your hand if u do not take precautions
u will need to have some basic soldering skills and do LOTS OF READING on the flight controller in order to use them

this is a rough guide of what u need and what u need to do

There's somewhat of a typo there from my Autocorrect as I typed that out on my phone sweat.gif

Was supposed to say that I started from a coaxial and felt pretty comfortable, then immedietly jumped to a 6ch V933 and after many, many crashes, i'm still very bad at it cry.gif

Btw, who here knows Johnny Lim from Helifix? Just paid him a visit, friendly chap and meeting him again tomorrow to see him demo flight some of his other heli's drool.gif

why not just buy locally? sweat.gif

better get em' spares... i already broke 2 flybars and my motor seems to had lost power compared to my friend's one after around 15~20 full charges....

and another note, do not play outdoor when there's even a slight wind... nearly lost my V911 few days back when i flew to around 4 storeys height, wind blowing the heli towards an apartment block and as hard as i might, i couldn't get it to fly back to me and ended up losing sight of it once it flew over the apartment block. That was at least a good 70~80m away from me and 4 storeys high. Thank god i managed to find it back, with no damage shocking.gif

couldn't land it by the time i hit 40~m away from me as there are thick, thick bushes between where i was and the apartment block...

so yeah, if you have a v911, buy some spares especially the flybar and also do not fly in windy weather. And when you think you can fly against the wind, you really can't laugh.gif

the V911 is also very good for direction training to upgrade to the V933. After around 10~ flights, I flew back my V933 and i can control it much, much better and at least this time i can hover for pretty long without crashing it laugh.gif

i ordered 2 sets of replacement parts currently otw to reach me. my first v911 is still holding up quite well. broke 2 pairs of blade n now got no replacement blades to continue flight. the v911-pro definitely flies better out of the box, i know most of the parts are identical with the old version but it just feels more stable!
now waiting for the replacement parts to arrive so that i can fly it ROUGH!

do you have extra flybars? i ordered the set with 5 blades, 5 flybars and 5 linkages but they had not been posted to me yet, and both me and my friend had broken the flybar sad.gif

and with the correct maneuvres, you can make the v911 go pretty damn fast. push full forward cycling, then slowly push it to either left or right direction(accompanied by the appropriate tail direction) and you can make the v911 go pretty damn fast, full throttle going straight laugh.gif

i crashed my v911 many times, making the thing go vertical and sometimes more than vertical with a few combinations of banked turns sweat.gif

For me, I would recommend a glider pusher plane. So that even if you crash you won't damage the propeller.

Learn how to repair foam planes and they will last a hundred crashes. A lot of video on youtube teaches...

My recommendation, AXN floater

Amcorp mall "RC Smart", go google them...

http://www.rcsmart.com.my/

Try a simulator, available on Android phone. "RC Simulator"

I advice you to play on mode 1 for the controller

I'm flying in Klang, can't help you there unless you willing to come here...

Can sell you my beginner Flysky 4 channel radio for cheap also if you want... biggrin.gif

Frsky is the way to go...

Got range...
Got stability...
Cheap for such a good system...

I'm using FSTH9X + Frsky module + Open 9X, best system ever...
But with a few hundred bucks you can get a Taranis...

For the price, I feel its more of a intermediate to advance system.
If your not flying around urban areas, got place to fly like open fields, with the nearest house 2 to 3km away, then even Flysky system will be enough for beginner.

But if flying in a field surrounded by houses or building, Frsky is the way to go... More option to expand also if you want telemetry in the future.

Finally got my hands on the Fatshark Predator V2 googles 5.8 Ghz, paired with hobbyking cloverleave antenna

Got around 2km range at Setia area, because less populated so less electronic interference.

At my other flying site which is densely populated I only got about 500 meter plus range for the video signal.

My 4th FPV flight, flew too close to the building and people at 5:00, lesson learned. Nearly crashed into the tower crane.

Never going to fly so near anymore... shakehead.gif

has anyone heard of WL V911B?

V911 with a B on the model name

what's the difference with it?

online research tells nothing other than V911-1

as far as I know the RC shop above Paradigm Mall shows me a different smaller box package as well as the heli with fatter legs

APM 2.6 flight controller
30A ESC
920kv motors
9" propellers

which devo? devo7/devo 10 i heard is pretty good and easy to configure, problem is need import online otherwise buy here so expensive

any special reason you want get 9xr? just get flysky th9x enuf already. rm279 from rcsmart. complete with receiver and rf module

http://www.rcsmart.com.my/webshaper/store/...roductItem=4987

my quad just arrived today

arrived today. damn this thing is scary. I throttle to barely 70% and it shoots up so fast from hovering position and the sound it makes is like some horror movie stuff  shocking.gif

still havent tested self level off yet, i think need way more time to get used to it before can turn off self level lol. stick scaling now set at 40/40 ail/ele

mine is mode 2. u not sked flying fast quads? my hand shaking on transmitter  sweat.gif. Also when flying far away how you deal with orientation? i always got confused and kenot tell immediately which way is front/back

wow, that quadcopter of yrs looks really well built..good for you..hahaha

no special reason for turnigy 9x, just worried for future problems if i get others since turnigy 9x is well recommended by so many people. someone told me that devo transmitters are not good so i'm just taking that advise.

devo f7 is available at timesquare 6th floor (rm750 without the camera) devo 7 and 10 also available. i'm considering devo F7 since the FPV is built in at the remote but i dont want to regret. so hard to decide sad.gif

i didnt build the quad myself, donno how lol. bought already assembled just need install receiver

turnigy 9x and flysky th9x is basically the same. turnigy 9xr is different from them. devo 10 at berjaya how much? i'd rather get devo10 if price almost same as f7. if want fpv can always buy the parts for fpv later

i'm new to RC flying, and i would like to build a quadcopter for some learning and weekend flying

planning to build one that is expandable to octocopter so that when i get good with a quad i will move on and upgrade then mount my DSLR with a gimbal underneath it

planning to get some parts from Rotorbits in Hobby King site so roughly how much budget i should be looking at if let's say i would like to build a medium size quad, then later upgrade to hexa or octo hmm.gif

flight controller should be reusable with different programming and motor also can reuse right? hmm.gif

if u build a simple frame just for flying around ... it costs less than rm10 for the frame
just dump the old one and build a new one when u upgrade ... hahaha
most controllers that can fly a quad can handle an octo
motors and escs ... just get another 4 of the same ones when u upgrade to octo from quad
