CAP AYAM laa .. no name or unknown brand of battery la

mr shock ...
how is your RC going ??
wearing goggles to fly yet or not ?? hehehe

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

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 ...

if u can fly the trex or BCP competently then u will not have a problem with multicopters

yes ... sometimes i am at puncak jalil
sometimes other places
the multicopter FPV kakis current fav site is at air panas on weekends
coz there got obstacles and shade ... hahaha

if u only have lipos ...
then u will need >>>
radio setup
charger for lipos
quadcopter set

for FPV ..
u will need goggles/LCD screen
video transmitter receiver
camera

all the cost i have listed in the earlier posting ...

yup ... air panas at setapak
this is the exact coodinates .. http://wikimapia.org/#lat=3.1853589&lon=10...05%20101.720599
most likely the others and i will be there this saturday morning 9am to 11am ...

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

hehehe .... asking such general questions wont get answer in MRC la
u will need to list out a few choices ... and what u wanna do
and hopefully someone answers u laa ...
or start something and makes lots of mistakes and then ask for help ... hahahahaa

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 ...

selling off my old copter CHEAp if anyone interested
http://malaysia-rc.com/index.php?topic=31727.0
COD only ... i can test fly during COD .. hehehe

the 1st video in this thread ... i was using a horyzonHD camera
its a full HD camera ... with decent live out

yes ... go there
still got regular quad flyers there to help u if u need any help
i seldom go there now (every now and then still got la) ... a bit far for me from cheras

yup ... if u are heading towards ulu kelang then exit the highway right after tol
if from ulu kelang then there is no exit ... gps location is http://wikimapia.org/#lat=3.1853589&lon=10...05%20101.720599

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 ...

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

v911 is the model ...
if i not mistaken ... the shop in puchong is DRC toys

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

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

the only fella selling those small plane is actually HOBBYTECH ..

look at these ..
http://www.hobbytech.com.my/detail_generat...=AE&code=AE0182
http://www.hobbytech.com.my/detail_generat...=AE&code=AE0247
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
but i am telling u its a waste of $$$ coz they never ever fly well (or at least i have not seen one flying well yet) ... hehehe
