Quadcopter 101
Registrace 28. 09. 2013
Multicopters, drones, quadcopters. These little aircraft are all a new breed of radio control (RC) fun that are rapidly gaining in popularity. But with newness, there is limited information available on these systems. This is particularly true for newcomers who wish to participate, but do not understand how to get started. But first be forewarned, this is a very addicting hobby. Once you start... eh, you'll find out.

Pros
- Unusual differential thrust aircraft that includes a servo operated elevator. This greatly helps trim of the aircraft, improves its stability, and allows very sharp yank and bank turns of the airplane.
- 6G gyro stabilization system helps keep the aircraft level, even with wind.
- Weighs only 90 grams and does not require registration in most countries.

- 3.7V 600 mah battery provides approximately 14 minutes of flight time.
- Controller includes LVC warning of low battery.
Cons
- Requires some assembly. Not too difficult, but it did take me about 20 minutes to put it together.

31.00 "Why is it doing that?" 😱 From Pascal's Protocol notes ... "Flip: momentary switch: hold flip(+100%), indicate flip direction with Ele or Ail, release flip(-100%)" 🤔 I.E. Don't leave the switch thrown/held. 😉😂
Been watching a few years and just wanted to say great channel and completely thorough reviews. You helped me get my first drone.
this model in the video is "F11" 4K Pro.. and NOT the "F11S" I have these drones and I know the differences
It's not a Reaper, but the Chinese copy called the Wing Loong drone, which looks identical, but has that same eagle logo on the nose. Even the name KF"PLAN" = People's Liberation Army Navy. Idk, hawking rc toys of Chinese military weapons is further motivation for lawmakers to ban DJI...
Thanks for the great review Q101. This answered all of my questions. I did wonder if I could use a Volantex Tx and you said it cannot be done, shame as I prefer those controllers. I did own a TopRC FW190 and just like this one it needed speed to fly or would stall and bite you. It was heavy compared to other 400mm. I also naturally found it hard to climb and fly, so I altered the servo horn default position on the elevator by one notch, and I found it was better. Your review showed me this aircraft is essentially the same, so useful information. I ended up giving the FW190 away. So far, I find the 400mm Red Tail Mustang V1 is the most impressive flyer, and can even be flown happily in expert mode. One of mine has just completed 100 flight days (on my channel). Thanks again.
Some history: “Cobra II” P-39 air racer 1946 Thompson Trophy winner. Tex Johnston flew at 430 mph to win the race. His average speed for the ten laps was 373.908 mph. Plane crashed 10 Aug 1968.
What does headless mode mean ?
I'd love how crisp and crystal clear most of your videos. Would you share what camera you usually use?
The Akaso V50X, recording 1080p @ 60fps. Don't be fooled by the price. It's an excellent camera. amzn.to/4cGv4hc But I also use an external microphone, as its built-in microphone is not very good. Here's the mic that I use. amzn.to/45KlTK1 And I attach both to my camera hat. amzn.to/3XDMWVp
The first time I flew mine it was a windy day and it would only climb, I'm telling you that cheap little plane was up in the stratosphere.
Can you break the gyro off in any way? to make it manual? Or would it just not fly?
The gyro stabilization can not be removed or turned off.
As an automotive painter i love they sent you extras im thinking some colorshift would look killer on it
As a non-part 107 pilot flying a drone 250g and above, you have to renew with the FAA every three years. It's not a one-time fee.

kenapa baru nongol videonya .? saya setia menunggu video2 anda . walaupun saya tidak membeli product-product tersebut . karena tidak mempunyai uang
Yo, its good quality camera for cheap drone😲
I remember when you were out west. You flew in some very picturesque places out there. You, and the RC Saylors were my two introductions to flying quadcopters, and I have to thank you for that. Reaper/Predator...Readator? Predaper? 🙂
Your video quality is outstanding. It's a visual treat, and your content is equally captivating!
This 1 flies more like a plank with that long wing and short tail moment. Like the full sized drone it is more designed for long range stable flight rather than aerobatic ability. A mate had the 2ch version but lost it into the Taipan Country before we could think about modding it to more channel controls. Nobody here had the XK A110 but we had several of the A100s, A120s, A150s and the similar QF008/787s - all not bad little 3-channellers. The Volantex V761-2 Ranger 3ch (and now the 4ch version) are the ideal mini aerobatic gliders. Apart from the V761 Mini Warbirds the best toys we have for mad hotdog flying are the LDARC TinyWing450g wings. On a good Multi Radio they will match it with any aggressive territorial bird and being such tiny light EPP toys they have survived all smashes for years. We bought spare parts at the get-go but have never needed any - even the 10 spare props they come with have not been used.
The QF008 has recently been upgraded to 4 channel, now with aileron controls. I'm hoping to get one for review.
By the way, this one has a power plug in its FCB for an optional lighting strip. I'm thinking of installing an AIO FPV camera to it for a future video. The large wing surface area on this plane should produce enough lift to carry it.
Seventh!!

Nice

Congratulations. You were first to say First. You win a shoutout in a future QC101 video. Again, congratulations!

And here is your shoutout. Only one shoutout per winner. I'd like to increase the chances for everyone to get a shoutout. czcams.com/video/HM-gmYRFd90/video.html
Love this little plane! Nice flight you did there! On another note, why would Q-i-d-i be pronounced "CHidi?"... Should be "kiddy," no?
This is where I got the pronunciation. But it's probably wrong. www.howtopronounce.com/qidi
@@Quadcopter101 No, it appears you're right. "Qidi" is an actual language in China! And since this plane is clearly from China, it's reasonable to assume the pronunciation would be the Chinese one. It's written as "期弟" and the "期" part is pronounced fairly close to "Chi."
Sir, Can the drone connected to 4G version phone? Or it need 5G version phone
I think that you're confusing 4G/5G phone data networks with 5Ghz Wifi. The "G" in 4G and 5G refers to technology "Generation". 5G is the fifth generation data network. 5Ghz WiFi is a totally different thing and is unrelated to 4G/5G data networks. Specifically, this drone requires a phone capable of using 802.11ac WiFi (which happens to operate on 5Ghz frequency). To see if your phone uses 802.11ac WiFi, simply search your phone's name along with the terms 802.11 and specifications. See if 802.11ac shows up in the search results.
Tq sir. Looks like i need to buy a new phone.
Pretty cool for $55
Instruction is total crap
Ijj I iiiijijjiji
overpriced overhyped crap
The Ranger 600 has been the best RC plane I ever owned. It crashed landed in the lake a few times, electrical parts shorted out because of water damage but after it completely dried out, it still performed great. 👍 I actually had multiple ones and one of them never worked after it crashed in the lake. I got a replacement one that still performed after it touched the water.
There's a 4 channel version now with ailerons. czcams.com/video/Iorcy0RaY6E/video.html
can u make mode 1 on transmitter ? cheers man
Sorry, this bird's transmitter is available in Mode 2 only.
How do I know when the battery is full/done charging?
The charger beeps, and the charging light turns from red to green. I still own and use this charger quite regularly. It's a very good one.
noice mine is 80ft in a tree
Check around that tree after the next wind storm.
@@Quadcopter101 two storms and it fell 5ft
Remote ID ? Looks a commercial demonstration. And need registration. Also my humble comment
My cats would love this.
Thanks for the review. $87 delivered to California via two-day Prime shipping from Amazon right now. 23% off to $99.99 and another 20% off at checkout. I've flown GPS drones until I recently acquired a DJI Avata 2 FPV drone. I enjoy the Avata 2 goggles view but it would be nice to watch this glider fly so I'm going to give it a try.
hi ik I'm a bit late lol but I purchased this and lost the charger to it, is there a specific name I have to input to get a new one or do I have to get a whole new drone?
This charger should work. usa.banggood.com/custlink/DvG9DqMM54
Just awaiting delivery of the flymore version of this (2 batteries and carry case included, standard package is only 1 battery and no case). Can't wait. I live on the south coast in Devon, SW England and hopefully I can use this to get some amazing scenic footage of the coastline and moors
Junk
You've put up a lot of strange posts here mate. I'm trying to work out if you are just a poor fellah with some mental disabilities or you really did find some genuine problem with this plane when you received it. A sensible description of what's wrong with yours would decide the issue in your favour and might even allow somebody to offer some sensible advice. If the former then allow me to extend my sympathies. We none of us know when we are truly well off!
Have one and fast but fixed 16:24
Try chopping it up and putting the motor in the front
Garbage
Never buy anything from volantex
So really quick I just got this drone. And I have pretty well top of the line phone wifi and all that and it won't connect and everytime I open the app for the camera it just shuts down right away. And the other thing is the battery pack won't turn off. And the other 2 it came with won't stay on. It comes on bit then goes off
First, make sure that you first open your phone's WiFi settings, and connect to the drone's WiFi signal the same way that you would connect to your home WiFi (no password needed). After connecting, wait about 10 seconds to see if your phone warns that they're no internet in the signal (which is correct). If you get that warning, make sure to select "Stay connected anyways". Then open the app. The drone's video should now be viewable in the app. If you're already doing this, or if your still having problems with the app, then I recommend that you try a different phone.
Regarding the batteries, if you're certain that you've charged them, try a quick press of the on/off button, immediately followed by a long 3 second press.
Thanks for the reply. The app just keeps opening then closing right away
I'm over it. I'm gunna send it back or break it one of the 2. As soon as it connects to wifi the app closes. And keeps closing and closing
So today I connected my girlfriends phone to my drone and got her the app and it worked. Her app on her phone is a different higher version then mine so idk how to update it but it works good
Does your reverse has a delay? It needs to be press twice?
I had the white 3 channel version. Does it feel a bit top heavy or is it just my lack of experience? The front prop XK800 was smooth as butter as a comparising, but the quality is so bad I will not by it again. Can I attach a small camera system to the motherboard or battery on it?
I should have watched your review before I watched Idaho Quadcopter's one. Nice job of explaining everything clearly, correctly and concisely
My videos are intended for absolute beginner pilots, with the aim of helping them successfully get their drone or plane into the air.
Who can see this module inflight? Such as ATC, aircraft outfitted with TCAS, etc
Anyone using free apps already available on Play and the App Store. Like this one which I use. play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.opendroneid.android_osm&hl=en
