I didn't try buying a whole helicopter from them before, but I bought many spare parts from them before for my V933. My first heli from a coaxial and I'm very very bad at it.I'm thinking of getting a v911 as well for me as the V933 is unfliable to me

V911 rm110 from helifix dude on Mudah. Hehe

Damn man that must be scary as hell

Do you guys meet up and fly? And is there anybody here in to 3d heli flying? really need kaki and sifu to ajar

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

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

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

why not just buy locally?

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

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

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

yours is an FPV rig or just normal camera mounted on a quad? sorry, noob in quads

the last vid is a fixed wing plane? I saw a shadow on the ground which shows its a plane...

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

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

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

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.

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?

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

This post has been edited by Nightstalker1993: Sep 5 2015, 01:27 AM

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!

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

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?

A guy named 'Low Hong' from Melaka seems to have alot of budget quad parts for sale, he even offers package deals

Can check out his store page here

https://www.facebook.com/groups/1653233401557900/

Disclaimer though, I had not dealt with him before and am recommending solely from looking at his adverts on DRC and various other RC/quad groups. He seems to be pretty reputable and experienced for quads and airplanes. Don't look like he have heli stuff though.

Sounds cool! So you actually record the actual video being transmitted by the VTX on your setup on top of the seperate video recorder you placed inside the plane eh. What is required to consider it as a 'ground station'? Is your antenna actually still on the default positions or is it an external antenna module of some sorts? I see you're somewhat avoiding the question of what TX you're using, but looking at your site I'm guessing some Turnigy model?

Honestly I have no experience on quads so can't really recommend but I see CC3S and QQ being pretty popular.

Looks nice! So, now what to do to make use of the CC2500 module?

Anyway, I just got hold of a WK-CTL01-D Telemetry module for my V450D03, now I can monitor the voltage and important temps directly on my tx and quickly land before my battery explodes! Woohooo!!



After a quick flight today the connection seems to be pretty intermittent and unstable, hit up the Deviation forum and they asked me to install the latest nightly. Apparently the 'Nightly' under downloads section isn't exactly the latest nightly. I thought my 26-7-2015 firmware was the latest nightly already but the real Nightlys are under 'Test Builds' and can be reached here. Did a quick bench test earlier and all seems good!

Also had a near-major crash earlier today when a component of the swashplate, being the anti-rotation pin and pitch control ball link unscrewed itself, mid-flip! Managed to hit throttle hold in time and somehow got the heli back upright and landed pretty damn hard, but on it's skids! Zero damages from that 'crash'. Need to inspect my rotating components more frequent and also add in some loctite. I think my heli did 3-4 hours of flight time without inspection in this area which is why it happened.



Happy flying!

I guess you can join those facebook groups I mentioned and I'm sure you will find what you want. FPV racer or Drone Rempit as they call it() are flooding those groups and there are plenty of stuff to choose from multiple sellers. Once you get hit by the flying bug you won't stop bro, unless you become like what debonairs91 mentioned. Set a goal, find out what really interests you, do your research, make sure you know how everything works, what component does what etc then make a list of components you need to get. Also not forgetting to get the necessary tools. For heli you'd need at the most basic a hex key set and a decent small sized screwdriver set.

I'm planning to branch out to fixed wing and quads when I get the chance financially

yeah no doubt FrSky is a famous brand in RC but I don't think their receivers are that cheap. FlySky I know is cheap though. Does the Deviation protocol for FrSky do telemetry and also I heard the FrSky protocol can alert you when the signal is weak, does Deviation have that? Maybe I'll swap out my A7105 module for the CC2500 if I find a need for it in the future. Don't fly my V911 anymore so the A7105 module is kinda wasted space.

For me my next aircraft I'll still run a Devo RX. The RX601 is only RM60 or so after convert from Banggood and the 10ch receiver is around RM100 from Banggood as well.

Awesome job on the 2nd 7E bro! Looks awesome with the tri-antenna man. My V450D03 model file is attached, you can have a look at it. I set mine in flight mode 3 to be for autorotation though as my heli's receiver/gyro is kinda unique in that the gyro only works above certain throttle value so if I hit throttle hold for autorotation practise, the gyro doesn't work and it'll be a beaaaatch to control.

Also recently installed the Walkera telemetry unit onto my heli, now I can remove the annoying low voltage beeper and fly with much more confidence having the battery voltage in my hands and also monitoring tail servo, ESC and battery temperature in case any of them goes beyond limits. Main page looks messy as hell now with the telemetry data on the main page on top of each other covering the heli icon

Well I fly a Micro heli WLToys V977, and a 450-sized heli, a Walkera V450D03.

For my V977 I get most of my spares from Banggood.com and also certain items for my 450. If I can purchase locally and the price does not differ much I will purchase locally. My Devo 10 I got it from a dude from the DRC Facebook group.

Don't know of any one-stop website for multirotors yet but I think there are some local sites selling it yet to be discovered. I think it's easier to find sellers on the fb group and contacting the sellers directly. Can check out the Melaka dudde I mentioned, seen him posting alot of stuff recently and his price seems to be pretty cheap. My personal opinion though, spend more initially for your transmitter and choose a good one. A good transmitter can last you for ages without needing to upgrade etc.

Anyway, just rearranged my screen, now it looks better



New file in the attachment. Also attached is the splashscreen I'm using, found it in the Deviation forum and hell lot cooler than the stock splashscreen

MyRCMart? Only Penang one I can think of haha. When you building it up then? Do post your progress!

Thanks for sharing SupermotoXL! Very informative article you've written. And no wonder you can get so long range flight, youre using a high gain directional antenna

I see in the article you wrote about antenna tracking, how exactly does it work? How does it home in on the antenna signal to know the direction and adjust the antenna angle from there?

Anyway, today I helped my friend with the Devo 7E range mod and holy shit the diode is bloody small! You really can't really tell how small it is from all the photos online until you really see it. My eyes hurt after doing the mod, using my flashlight for illumination at the highest brightness and also the solder used to maintain my soldering iron tip condition goodwhile removing that damned radio shield!

The diode really caught me by surprise how small it is and i do not have conductive ink with me. Masked the area with masking tape and somehow managed to desolder the diode unintentionally then I used a single strand of wire and used that to help bridge the two points with the solder and it worked! After the solder dried, cut off the test of the wire and triple check that there is no short and reinstall the rf shield. Flight test and the range mod worked!



Ok la, not bad to train my soldering skills
