Hey, Steve! Welcome back from vacation. Hope you had a great time. It was very nice that you kept the channel updated with new content while you were gone. It’s greatly appreciated.
Thank you kindly!
If you here this voice u know honesty is coming. Awsome review.
Thank you!
Well said
My son, and I love these types of drones/airplanes
Man the amount of work you put into your production is CRAZY!!!! Looks like a full-time job for a 15min video
You are on the mark… plenty of work for sure. For 15 min of video there is an hour of filming and about six hours of editing.
Yea honestly, very inspiring
Wow this is a all purpose multiuse drone,plane,etc. Perfect for everyone wanting to have it all in one package.
Hi Steve My friend.👍😁👋.
Happy to see you again my friend. Hope you had a good time and feeling great.
Thank you so very much and God bless you and your family always 🙏
Appreciate your honest review loved every sec of this ....now this thing I need for myself self loved the way it change its flying modes tight space take off like drone once in air high go aeroplane mode n enjoy speed n 16mins❤ ❤
I love the 6g button 😱😄
Hi Steve, even though I'm not my Grandma, I ordered it for my birthday and it just arrived. It may look like a toy, but it's high-tech! And that for a total price of < US$ 200.- 🤩
You’ll certainly enjoy it
Thanks Steve!
Super kool, I just got mine, thanks captain Drone
Great! Hope you enjoy it!
A great starter kit for me... Thankyou.
such a cool rc plane drone thing i wish they made smaller versions that could be flown indoors and out and is bellow 250g. closest thing is probably to scratch build a mini version out of foam
This model is FANTASTIC!! Man, does it look cool! I find it so cute to get a glimpse of your other drone which you have video recording and circling you. I know I'm anthropomorphising it, but it's almost like it's your companion keeping you company. It's cute when you talk to it when you increase its distance from you. I'm being silly, I know, but I like it. Thank you for all of your work in making these videos. Once again,, this plane is wonderful!
Thank you very much!
Thank YOU!! i just ordered one all thanks to your reivew. Best wishes from Cam in Toronto@@CAPTAINDRONE798
@@camdix3250 Great! You should have plenty of enjoyment this baby
Good morning really nice review
Well done Captain (and what a great looking Aircraft!) reminded me a lot of the Parrot "Swing" Drone; same flight modes however the Parrot (from experience) was a little difficult to control !!
Seems like a fun toy
A member at our club has a slightly larger vtol and like this, it’s very very easy to fly.. awesome review!! Vacation vacation and vacation!!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
E-flite Convergence, Mini Convergence, XK X450, JJRC M02 or a home brew unit?
@@theoztreecrasher2647I’ll have to check with him.. 👍🏼
Excellent Tutorial Review Video. Very Nice, and Lots Of Fun. Thank You Steve.
Fun video ! 😃
Thanks for another great review !
Good review Steve and a nice drone
awsome review captain.
Have a good weekend nice set up
Great stuff, as always...
Awesome this is right ally. Thank you
Great review Steve. I just picked up mine yesterday. Can't wait to fly it.
Expect to have a BIG smile on your face
Real fun, never seen such and unusual RC machine.
New to the channel im getting back into hobby after a while. Best RC flight review channel by far. Best wishes from England.
Awesome, thank you!
Awesome review I’m a bit late not something I would buy but still cool
Nice piece of kit , I hope you do another precision landing test sometime , would be interesting to see what of the latest batch of drones are the most accurate Landers .😮
*KOOL!!!*
I learned to fly R/C planes at the age of 6 (55 years ago) and stopped flying in my 30’s. I started flying drones about ten years ago and haven’t looked back. But THIS is the first time I’ve wanted a plane type R/C since I got back in the hobby. Pretty cool. The only issue is that I learned to fly in Mode One so I’m hoping this can convert from Mode Two to Mode One.
Yes, it does appear to convert to mode one from what I can see.
Pressing "Mode" button while turning on transmitter swaps to the other mode (2/1 - watch where you put your fingers when turning on the Tx!) Selected Mode is retained through power off and is shown on display.
Screwdriver through holes under rubber bungs in the back to adjust springs on stick centring and drag plates.
Hoping for a Fimi manta VTOL review. Already have mine ordered.
Would love one.
Super cool 😎😎
nice to see you back hope you and family had a nice holiday VTOL look's good and price even better as we are away for to weeks in UK we don't go abroad to much hassle i might buy one if darling wife let's me {jane can hear your voice what are you buying now} i'll see when we get back great and honest review Steve.
Hi Jane!
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 wify said hi captain
Good review ❤😊
I've got an X450 which is basically Identical to this one. Flies great in all 3 modes. Got it 2 years ago.
Yes, many pilots at my field have the older versions. This one is modern and very accurate in all flight modes so if you love the older versions you’ll love the new version even more.
Me too, my first aircraft.
My x450 flies like crap, in drone mode sometimes it’ll just fly on an angle sideways randomly and other times it’ll be level, sometimes it won’t let me lower the throttle low enough to bring it down and in plane mode it just crashes
Wonder if I could grab a controller and recover board from the W500 and use it
That's a shame. Mine is great in drone mode and in aircraft mode I've only tried it once and due to my inexperience I crashed it. We have another X450 at the flying club and that flies well in the two modes though. @@lewiswhitfield4362
I have one of these from Horizonhobby called the Mini Convergence. 😎👍
Yes, that is the old tech version. This is all new tech, very accurate & reliable.
I wonder if that design would scale up well.
I must get one of these I always wanted the eflite one then when I finally decided to buy it they discontinued it better buy this one
Hope you guys had a good one and have come back relaxed.
Thank you!
Bagus sekali pesawat dan bisa menjadi drone
Hi Steve great plane. I have one myself. Only mine is much bigger and from Horizon Hobby E-flite Convergence VTOL BNF Basic, 650mm. it has three positions. Maybe you know this one too. This little one is great too. Handy for extra plane. You can take this with you in a backpack. Steve happy flying. And wish you lots of fun. 😃👍✈️🕹🛩📷
Hi Richard. A few of us have the eFlite Convergence and we all agree that this new mini version is what the convergence should have Been as it is extremely responsive & accurate. I guess time will tell if this W500 holds up long term.
Steve this little mini is also much better and also has more functions. And because it's also small, it's also easy to take with you. Steve is thinking of buying it too. Thanks for your tip. Steve keep up the great work making your videos. I like to check it out 😃👍
What was the beeping coming from? Another great video again Steve
Beeping? Didn’t notice beeping. Could have been the DJI mini 3 pro battery running low.
Hey, I just bought the iflight Nazgûl evoque, and the frsky elite Taurinus transmitter. I can’t bind it to the FPV drone can you help me?
I hope it has space for walksnail mini 1s to FPV it.
Hi Steve, I also ordered the Yuxiang W500 today. If all goes well September 25th I will get it. I'm curious then have a small and a large VTOL. 😃👍🛩✈️
Enjoy! Plenty of fun.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 😃👍
😃👍
Fantastic video Steve, hoe you had a great vacation, that looks really fun to fly, might get me one of those won't fly it at the same time as my drone, would be a desaster😂😂😂
Looks cool, is there a full manual mode where it acts like a normal RC plane?
Nope, no fully manual operation but hitting the Big Red Button in Airplane Mode will give you the equivalent to AS3X - the gyro will only try to correct for wind disturbance.
Yes, in 3D mode you have full control.
@@theoztreecrasher2647 Thats good enough thanks.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 good thanks.
rc planes have gone up a bit since I last bought one though, $200 seems not really cheap..but I wont hold that against anyone but the govs lol.
How much does it coast
Do you use a suction mount for your video camera? If so, which have found works well?
I simple use double sided tape
👍👍👍😃
😊💯👍
Is it possible to add Spektrum receiver, GPS and a second party gyro to this product? Just asking and thanking you for your time.
Probably not an easy solution
This is a reiteration of the JJRC M02 - same plane shell, same drive units, similar Tx shell with a few modifications, maybe some modifications to the flight board? Anybody who gets 1 care to post whether it uses the same protocol as the JJRC M02? I'm not even sure if it was ever definitively tested if the old JJRC M02 protocol was the same as the protocol for our XK X450s which is available on the Multi Radios. 🤔
All these swivel-motor units suffer from the same vulnerabilities - brittle props and the swivel mechanisms that take even a minor bump like a raw egg! Even NASA-grade components are no protection as witness 3 dead Marines in the Northern Territory. 😱
They are all fun to fly but tend to stall easily in turns because of the high wing loading - buy plenty of spares (props, front servos and swivel plastic parts) or be prepared for lots of down time! 😉
pretty affordable kit, is the radio recyclable to use with other planes
Yes, usually it connects to Futuba FHSS receivers, but don’t take my word for it as I have not tried that so can’t 100% confirm.
Can u plz send med the z11s drone?
i need something like that. is this version good or is there a better model like this? thanks
So far this is the best version at the best price
Thanks for the reply. I am considering this JumperRC T20S ExpressLRS ELRS 2.4GHz/915MHz Hall/RDC90 Sensor Gimbal Full Size EdgeTX Radio Transmitter for FPV RC Racer Drone Airplane Car Boat - 2.4G RDC90+JP4IN1 Micro Module. As far as I understand, it works for most drones.
Can you recommend a good site to buy a drone and JumperRC T20S on.
like u Videos.
Check the GETFPV site to buy such items
What’s the Largest battery you can fit for max flight time?
My guess is a 1500 mAh (the rectangle version)
Hi! great video! I just purchased one of these and I watched your video carefully. The directions are really bad! I cant get my motors to power up. I did the throttle up and down and it links up and you can flip the switch and it changes modes but I can never get the propellers to spin up? If I hold that lock button down it takes off at full speed for a moment before powering back down. Any ideas? Thanks for a fantastic video!
Are you sure you bought the same one using my link? There are plenty of these on the market made by different companies with different names and look like this one I’m using in the video, but they are not the same and are really bad.
@CAPTAINDRONE798 Yeah I didnt use your link but it is the exact same name on the plane and the radio is exactly the same as yours. I Just noticed that when I flip it in airplane mode the motors rotate down to horizontal but it still doesnt run the motors. The elevons operate when you toggle the ailerons but the elevator doesnt work when you toggle the elevator. I am an airplane guy this is a relatively new foray for me but I do understand how it should work.
When I said the directions were really bad I meant the paper copy that came with the plane. Your video was crystal clear and excellent! sorry for the confusion!
@@toddwatkins3211if you did as I showed (pull both joysticks down and out to each lower side… which is how you start any drone on the planet, then lift up the left joystick, all should work). If not, your unit is defective.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thank you that is what I believe as well. I guess I will find out how good aliexpress warranties are....
sir how far it can go..?
About 150 meters
Hows your legg?
Improving
It's over 250g at just over 300. In the US that would require buying and adding a seperate remote ID device per overzealous government. Asinine. Who wants this in the US?
The good news is that most folks in the USA will not bother with the government regulations when flying small items that do not resemble a typical DJI drone.
This is an old XK model, several years old in fact 200 is to much for this. It does look like they made a few mods to it though.
Oh wait until you fly it… everything is new and modern day responsive (big difference from the old models)
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 in that case I guess I will have to give it a chance.
Hi Captian Drone. I have been watching your videos about drone and I am wondering if you could donate your old drones you are not using anymore so that another kid in my country in Philippines will be happy. A lot of kids dont have any priveleges to but or own toys like these. Im sure their Christmas will be nothing like before. Thanks
Hello. Please note that everyday I receive several requests from viewers for free drones. This has been going on for over 7 years now (I believe every RC CZcamsr receives such requests).
BE AWARE that all these vtols have one major fatal flaw of every once in a while one or both motors pointing down causing a crash when switching between QUADCOPTER and plane mode.
I destroyed mine in less than 10 minutes even though I have more than 7 years experience flying planes, quadcopters and helicopters.
So far, no issues in my end (knock on wood)
It's not a good habit to hang or handle batteries by the wires. Otherwise great review.
