This XK X252 quadcopter comes with brushless motors and complete 5.8GHz first person view system. The...

SkyRC Sokar racer quad with 5.8Ghz real-time image transmission Unlike other racing quadcopters, this SkyRC Sokar has a nice friendly design thanks to the racing car shape cockpit. Unfortunately, the on-board camera has a very low resolution so we can't expect some great aerials. Anyway, racing quadcopters are designed for other kind of fun. The FPV flying mode with a high speed racer will certainly increase...

Hubsan X4 H502S - cheapest first person view GPS quadcopter Hubsan just announced a completely new product line, the X4 H502.

Since I started my journey in the world of multi-rotors I hesitated to make reviews on hexas, don't ask me why because I can't specify any real reason. It looks like 2016 changed my appetite because this LiDi RC L6F will be the second hexa copter that I reviewed this month :). Theoretically, hexacopters have all the benefits of motors...

Hexacopters like this Fayee FY805 offer greater stability compared to the 4-motor design (or at least it is supposed to be). But sadly, each concept has its advantages and disadvantages. More parts mean a higher chance of failure. After I received this tiny toy I was curious how it performs so I tested it immediately. I had the misfortune of...

My son is always willing to help me in building or disassembling any kind of stuff, so he was very enthusiastic when I told him about the plan to build a quadcopter from scratch (OK, almost from scratch). His only complaint was why we didn't build an octa-copter or at least a hexacopter. I promised him that if this...

DJI Phantom 4 hysteria on social media Yesterday, the social media was invaded with "news" about the DJI Phantom 4 quadcotper. I read all the shares to find out more about this new release, but in fact I found out that most of the articles were spammy posts. I checked the news section of the manufacturer's website and there is no official...

After testing many 350 mm size quads I think it would be interesting to review something bigger like the FLYCKER X4-550. This new quadcopter from Flycker Intelligence is built based on the Scorpion-X4 550 mm carbon-fiber frame. For those who are interested to build their own quad, this can be also purchased separately. The biggest advantage of this lightweight air-frame is...
