The Nine Eagles Galaxy Visitor 3 quadcopter has many important futures as other similar aircraft. To explorer all, its features you should download and read the Galaxy Visitor 3 's user manual.

You can make it return whenever you want in order to avoid hitting something. Another useful function is...

Looking on the design and the specs, there is nothing new on the JJRC H5C. It's only a rebranded Syma X5C. The only changes on this quadcopter is the logo on the top of the aircraft and the remote controller. Probably they will drop the price by a few dollars to be more attractive than the Syma model. The H5C Explorers...

They also developed a newer version, the QR X350Pro, with extended flight time. The Walkera QR X350 has an onboard altitude sensor and GPS module that allows to hover in...

After one of my X5C's battery died, I had two options: to order a new one (and wait for it 3-4 weeks) or hack a generic LiPo battery to work with the Syma X5c quadcopter, typically for me. I chose both. As a backup plan, if my battery hack will not work, I ordered a new 600mAh battery for my...
