2014-09-15: Quadcopter Beginners: Flight Basics (Cheerson CX10, from Banggood.com)

2014-09-15: Quadcopter Beginners: Flight Basics (Cheerson CX10, from Banggood.com)
A brief (well, 10 minutes but I tried to avoid rambling) tutorial on the basics for a quick start with quadcopters, aimed at utter newbies. This guide uses the Cheerson CX10 - the principles are the same for all quadcopters, and this one is a perfect indoor trainer as it it cheap, robust and very, very portable (get one here: http://www.banggood.com/Cheerson-CX10-CX10-Mini-24G-4CH-6-Axis-LED-RC-Quadcopter-RTF-p-926614.html).

I chose the wrong time and place for this video, so I'll do a better one sometime later.

Excuse my cat.

JB's New Glitch 240 Mini FPV Quadcopter Racer Test Flight

JB's New Glitch 240 Mini FPV Quadcopter Racer Test Flight
Thomas FPVing JB's new Glitch 240 Mini Quad on an extremely windy day! We were visiting JB last week and before leaving to go home he was really wanting Thomas to FPV it and provide some feedback.

The park had some people in it, but it's worth watching how Thomas is well aware of where people are and how he avoids going near anyone. We don't normally fly in these sorts of parks but it gives you a good idea how the Spotter is working with the pilot.

All in all it's a great little quad with some fantastic design features.

Heli-Max 1Si Quadcopter Review, Flight Test, & First Impressions

Heli-Max 1Si Quadcopter Review, Flight Test, & First Impressions
The new 1Si with onboard video, sound, and still camera shots is really a neat micro RC quadcopter. The video isn't good at all unless there is good lighting; however, with good lighting the video quality is pretty impressive. The sound works, but, it isn't the best, and you can't hear anything over the noise of the rotor blades when the quad is in the air anyways.

The controls feel a bit 'mushy' to me.

NitroPlanes New T-580 QuadCopter Review and Flight test by NightFlyyer.
****This is a bigger and Quieter**** Quad copter and not 3D. It was designed as a stable flying camera platform. Optional tilt controls and camera mounts are available for extra cost, but I didn't want to spend any extra money, before I tested the unit myself.
This is a quality looking unit that is very stable with many safety features built in. And for this kind of money, that is good.
Overview:
.
High efficiency: 12-inch slow paddle + disc direct drive brushless motors.

Syma X5C Quadcopter Drone Test Flight

Syma X5C Quadcopter Drone Test Flight
Flight test of the Syma X5C Explorers quadcopter with HD video camera: http://www.banggood.com/Syma-X5C-2_4G-4-Channel-Remote-Control-RC-Quadcopter-p-913827.html?p=RB0922217402201307U3

My thoughts:

1: Camera is OK for a 720p, but it's pointed way too far downward. But this is easily corrected by removing its mounting screws, and hot-gluing a shim in for a better view angle.

2: It really isn't very steady outside of hover in maneuvering flight.
