JJRC H26 Quadcopter Review
Green, JJRC h26 quadcopter, under $70. First impression, this quadcopter looked somewhat familiar, so I went to the hangar to retrieve a few quadcopters.
Check this out. If you never knew the h26 had a carbon version, well look closely, you are right, it’s actually a Walkera Scout x4 next to it, white, green, carbon color.
Nothing like a 6 cell quadcopter, the h26 is of course very light compared to a scout x4, weighing only 380 grams. The weight advantage is the h26 is not going to break easily, when you crash it, therefore this serves well as a training quadcopter. The size is just right, and safe for beginners learning to fly. I am a fan of ultra light quadcopters, I never had any issues with gear motors, for what it is, perfect for a lightweight, and quiet for a garden flight…
MJX X800 RC Drone Hexacopter
The MJX X800 hexacopter, 6 propellers, reminds me of a miniature Tali H500 weighing only 71 grams. The x800 has a feature that differentiates itself from others, you can use the radio sticks or gravity remote like a wii motionplus. Here is a video of our day out with the MJX x800.
The gravity sensor is capable of sensing motion, imagine wii piloting. You get a good 7 minutes of flight time. We like that it is light and hardy. Flying with gravity remote is a whole new exciting experience, thumbs up to MJX R.C!
Walkera Furious 320 Racing Drone
At the Photo Expo in New York, we got a sneak peek of the prototype Tilt Rotors Fixed Pitch racing quadcopter, According to Walkera the 320 size recorded high speed can reach 120km/h, with 1700kv motors. The recommended radio to pair this racing drone is with a Devo 7 or 10, since you will need an additional channel to tilt the rotors. When the rotors are tilted forward, the quadcopter gets a boost in speed.
The battery suggested is 14.8V 2600mah to give a flight time of about 9-10 minutes. This is not the first fixed-pitch rotors that Walkera has developed, the company had gain a lot of experience when helicopters were the best sellers a few years ago. A GPS version is on the plans…
Walkera Drone VR Games Devo F18
2016 might be a great time to get those Gamers outdoor for a new challenge. We have been wondering what it would be like to bring Gamers and First Person View (FPV) Pilots in one room or rather in one field for an intense world of Virtual Reality competition. Walkera Drone VR Games are not only Virtual games, but a Reality concept that is applied to GPS Racing Drones. Pilots actually fly their GPS drones into virtual Funnel Gates or shoot on virtual targets using the new advance Devo F18 radio transmitter. See these initial tests we recorded.
If this has not caught your attention yet, I am sure it will with the AMA or FAA. First in the world, Walkera initial beta test included three Real Flight modes: Battle mode, Race mode, Classic Collecting mode. In Battle mode , FPV pilots will get on their F18 and begin an intense battle with targets. In Race mode, pilots compete on an Agility Course featuring various obstacles, funnel gates and hairpin turns…
