My $75 Syma with FatShark has worked out!

Wasn't sure if the Syma X8W would have the guts to be a good, starter FPV machine. It's been a great, great experience with this cheapo drone.

Bought a FatShark set of camera/goggles for $200...

RE: Real pilot proficieny program, anyone?

Hi Rafael,

Great points. 13 years is a long time in this field. that would be a huge challenge, to change the program as the science/hobby evolved.

RE: Real pilot proficieny program, anyone?

thanks for the reply.

I said "useless" to get peoples' attention.

I also said it because:
- do you know anyone who has done it?
- does anyone care about this program?
- what happens...

Thanks Tom. Don't have a lot of settings to play with

Yeah, I could get a governor and will do for my new, Raptor 50. But the Hirobo didn't use to do this.

I've got 3 basic ways to control what's going on as far as I can tell:
- ATV for the...

RE: Newbie question

Sounds to me like you need to trim the 'rudder'.

I have a rate gyro:
- too much gain causes the heli to oscillate (over correcting)
- too little means I have to do all the heading control by...

You might want to elaborate on that a bit.

What I did for greater stability, is pick a larger, heavier chopper off the menu, like a Hughey. What did you do, crank up down the throw on the...

No, he's saying you dial it in by setting the mode parameter in the Tx to whatever you want. The Tx can do either.

Some thoughts:

Could be that you're running the engine too rich. Try running it a bit leaner, maybe a few clicks. If it's too rich, by leaning it the response to throttle should also be better.

I wonder if I should sand paper it down a bit?

I'm going to mess around with the engine mount bolts travel. Maybe I rammed the engine in too far or something.

After going thru several clutches, I decided that part of the problem was that the engine was too easily misaligned by the belt starter forces. So I bought and installed:
