LOL, kumpul duit lah. I save money to buy these things too. Started off with that rm400 basic plane, then slowly upgraded my way up.

If you want a small heli for training, get the V911 cost around RM100 saje.. small little thing but can take a beating, hard to break and quite easy to fly. Good for beginners with tight budget

A lot of shops but mostly in KL / Selangor. DRC Toys is good. Namlee oso ok. Then got RC Smart and Hobbytech.

They use OSD - on screen display and view it with monitors / goggle. Like this..



Not all aircraft have these, and these are not basic setup anymore.

I bought my transmitter casing there, friendly staff agreed

How is your phantom? I flew one the other day, damn easy

some look ready made, some look diy to me. how much diy costs though?

im interested, but seems like very expensive. since i cant afford it, i can just watch it on youtube :/

My concern is with those irresponsible people that does not join the community. They buy the stuffs (eg. Quadcopter) then fly it on top of people heads, on congested roads with lots of cars.. then they crash and runaway. Who will the people point their finger to? US!

That is why I urge all that want to start the hobby, please be responsible. Be friends with old RC pilots or join their club / community, fly at designated fields or places, be responsible and keep the hobby safe.

You'll get a lot more friends when you bring your aircraft to any flying fields, just ask around, plenty will be happy to help

Mostly all are DIY. The expensive ones will have less to assemble and less to configure. But you will still have to assemble and configure some. If you just want to fly, bring some money, most shop will configure for you for a fee.

Save money lor.. I saved money too buy bit by bit. I don't like jogging or exercise because I'm lazy.. haha.. So by having a RC aircraft, it motivates me to go outside get some sun, then sweat will come out.. at least something healthy.

Still strong. clocking almost 10hrs on air.Really easy. Salute to DJI peoples who make it really easy to handle it.

But really itchy for the newer generation of phantom. Maybe i can only switch the receiver / transmitter (newer one upgraded to 5.2Ghz ) so can use gopro hero3 or their own fc40 camera.

Wanna ask something. Is there a way to fix a camera and make it transmit real time? The distance and all should be same as the remote but must be real time. Cause if say u fly it too far it's kinda hard to see sometimes the sun too bright also. First person perspective is much more fun too.

neato4u is a sifu of fpv (first person view) expert. time to poison kaw2 with fatshark and what not

How much ah? Cheapest with video real time streaming. Plane cheaper or Heli cheaper?

Just get an aftermarket 5.8 video transmitter. Cheap ones get from surveilzone. Get those bluebeam pair or cloverleaf antennas as well. I am using these combination for FPV. Longer range and better penetration go for 1.2Ghz but antennas will be bigger hehe

That is what I am using and displayed on the second and third video posted on first page. You can't pilot those aircraft and go through pondok and obstacles if you just see and pilot normally.

These are video transmitter



Then you will need something to view live video, like a monitor or goggles. I prefer goggles if flying fast or proximity flying. Relaxing flight can use monitor so I can see around.

Far from expert bro, I think I'm still in the beginner league although thanks for your compliment. Come let's fly together sometimes or have a teh tarik session.

it seems like youve been being in this hobby for a long time, maybe at least a year.

Hi Neato4u,

Just wanna ask for your advice, is this a good buy ?

http://www.lelong.com.my/wltoys-v262-cyclo...7-01-Sale-I.htm

The battery just turned me off, charge 1 jam main 10 minutes

Cheapest? Get a moderate set like this one from surveilzone
http://www.surveilzone.com/5.8g-8ch-video-...iver-fpv-ws1115
Don't forget to buy their cloverleaf antenna too, else you will start cursing because the range is too short with stock antennas!

Here is another video using a slightly superior video transmitter.
hope this gets you going



2 years plus I think. Slow start because I don't have much budget allocated for this hobby. I know some who spent rm1k or more every month to buy new stuffs.. I will too if I have the money

That looks like wifi mode..is this info broadcasted by quad itself or you need to attach addon device on quad?

That's what you get with a quadcopter (or any multirotors). This one you posted runs on a 2S 850mah. 10 minutes is quite LONG flight with a multirotor. Haha.. my mini quad flies around 6 minutes before timer beeps and force me to land. My bigger quad flies for 10 minutes can push up to 13 minutes max, HUGE battery and very heavy!

Btw, that link you posted is toy grade. Save more money and quit buying those toys, get on the real 'hobby' wagon and experience real fun. Those things are just good for practicing or basic training but won't get you anywhere

Wifi mode? Hehe can't blame you for being exposed with the iphone / android controlled toys

The device is called the minimosd. Your camera input video to it, and the device will attach an overlay image of all the readings from your flight controller, then output it back to transmit for you to see.

Here is how minimosd looks like



oh and yes it is an add-on

Eh kastam sure rampas or ask for bribe 1 items like this.

apasal nak rampas pulak.. u're not buying drugs, chill lah
As long as not exceeding RM500 you should not kena tax. If kena tax then they of course tahan and get you to come over bring some documents and stuffs..

I kena sekali jer. The rest all bought cheap2 stuffs so excluded from tax. Buy with paypal though, if anything happens you can dispute and get money back (eg. item fail to arrive, DOA, etc).

What you gonna do with this transmitter? Not going to put this on plane / multirotor?

To answer your previous Q : Plane cheaper of course, less electronics.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/331339240342393/

this fb group got a few online seller and their price is kinda cheap.

kadang-kadang ada lelong dari admin group

I want ground based RC how? Like Foster Miller TALON.

Dulu ada Dunia RC forum, now it's gone. So now I know they moved over to FB. Murah ke lelongan? Never been to this group before.

As much as I want to help, this is out of my league bro. Although if you go to 'Malaysian RC' forum you will have better luck there. OR get a mini quadcopter instead.. can fly in house and outside too. No need for long runway for take off and landings too.. and it can fly!

Sorry, I just love flying things

Bro,saw The quadcopter at jalan pasar around rm200. Ok or not for newbie? Can fly outdoor?
