Can't beat free! I need in on that deal! ;)

Just my opinion, I'd say it's for real.

You could look into a second hand Phantom 1 on eBay, or the Quanum Nova (or clone) might would work well for your need. :)

Oh, I see. I thought you were talking about a drone itself. You could look into GoPros, as they can be connected to an FPV transmitter.

The best option to fulfill your needs would be a DJI Phantom. Live video feed is transmitted from the drone to your smartphone which would mount in a clamp on the controller. There are a lot of options, and some models even support a GoPro for FPV video. Check this out (and some of the others)...

Might check your PDB for cold solder joints. If there aren't any, you might would just have to buy a new motor. :(

Yeah, I guess it all depends where you live. I live in Alabama, so I'm sure it will take it a while to get here. I know what you mean, waiting for a drone sure is hard. Had to wait a whole month for my Phantom a couple years ago (got the Phantom 2 Vision + right when it came out), and that was...

Never ordered from HK before, is their shipping really that slow? :eek:

Hey guys, I just decided to buy this drone just to see how it does! I figure if I don't quite like it, I can always upgrade or mod the components. I really like the CC3D, especially because its open source, and easily modified, so that was a major selling point. I bought it from HK (coming Swiss...

Keep at it! You'll be a top-notch drone pilot before you know it! :D

Yeah, the remote can't transmit more than 2 additional channels (in addition to the four basic), and the receiver can't pick up more than those two either. The remote has so many assignable controls so you can choose where a certain function's switch will be at (I always assign the top right...

Before flying your new build, you might would buy something small to practice with, such as the Syma X5C: http://www.amazon.com/Syma-Channel-2-4GHz-Explorers-Copter/dp/B00MNG37C2/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1440173898&sr=1-1&keywords=syma Good luck with your kit! It looks pretty...

Well, 6CH pretty much means you can only use (in your case) two of the six additional knobs or switches for actually sending commands to the receiver. The switches and dials are assignable which means that you can program (using the remote and FCB software) what function they control (such as a...

Yeah, there's about as little info on the i86 FCB as there is support for the old x86 CPUs. ;) (Couldn't resist) ;)

Hello! I'm pretty sure that the included GPS unit is the only one compatible with this quad due to the proprietary FCB. If it was a more common FCB, such as the CC3D, Atom, KK Board, Naze32, etc. there would be a whole host of GPS/autopilot add-ons that would be compatible with it. I don't think...

I have a Syma X5C also, and the stock battery is doing the same thing (only lasting two or three minutes, and not offering as much lift and power as before). I agree with GJH105775 about overrunning the batteries and charging them before they've completely cooled off (I think that's what...

Yeah, me too. That's kind of unusual (but good) to see in a low-end FPV racer package.

Yeah, I definitely see the improvement in design. It would be nice for the newbs, though, if they included it in a full set (with camera, transmitter, receiver) like the original. ;)

I also noticed this FPV kit on HK, and thought that, paired with the Black Widow, it might make a great combo for someone new: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__63646__Quanum_Complete_FPV_Bundle_Set_w_Goggles_5_8GHz_32ch_Video_TX_RX_CP_Antennas_and_Camera_PNF_.html

Yeah, I don't think this is the one you'd want to take to the races, but it might be good for some fast LOS flying, or FPV flying (with some added gear), at the park or field. It might would be good option, though, for someone new to the racing scene, or who doesn't want to shell out big bucks...
