bark615 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Gump, how long did yours take to arrive? I am hoping to see mine this week. Will we get some overhead CRP race / pit footage this season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gump Posted March 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Chinese New Years screws everything up big time. If your product got out of Asia before Chinese New Years, you're ok. But God help you if it didn't. I'm still waiting on a tiny flashlight and its pushing 30 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHill Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Damnit, my radio seems to be broken. Literally boxed the thing up last night in the shipping package the same way it was delivered, took it to work to fly in a larger area, opened it back up, and now all the radio does is beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep constantly when it is turned on. Tried a few different batteries, starting it up with buttons pressed, verifying that none of them are stuck down...all to no avail, all the thing does is annoyingly scream at me.

RHill Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Unfortunately, yeah. Tempted to tear apart the transmitter apart and take a look at the solder joints, but I'll hold off till I hear back from gearbest. Damn tease....thing was fun while it lasted.

Gump Posted March 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 booooooooDamn. I tried to duplicate that noise by holding every button when turning on but no dice. I did however learn that if you hold the lower right trim tab and turn it on. The left right lean control switches to the left stick and rotate go to the right. Which results in a crash.

RHill Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Yeah they wrote back, part of the reason for taking the video clip. Not exactly sure what I'm supposed to replace the components with. Pretty sad, had plans on purchasing another one of these for my nephew. "Thank you very much for your recent message. Please try as follows: 1.Replace the receiver board; 2.Replacement frequency shift; 3.Replacement remote control to operate again. Please let us know the result and please note that the item also will be in full charger. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what that means and I doubt they know what it says either. Tell them to send a new transmitter. They're cheap.

Gump Posted March 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Dam it! mine departed LA yesterday morning. WTF is up with the postal service these days!!!Loaded question. Perhaps they couldn't afford employees since there are so many retirees they're still paying for. Mine took 4 days to go from a post office in NY, to a post office in NY an hour away.

c7fx Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 finally a nice day to test my new antenna and just have some fun. I flew about 2,000 feet away still with FPV I could have gone farther but wasn't sure of how much battery I had since I made the mistake of flying with the wind and would have to fight the wind on the way back. I also just spent time playing with my settings. Here is a screen shot from a video I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowdog Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 i got mine after 20 some days, tried to fly it today and the camera light comes on and that is it. Copter does nothing! this sucks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gump Posted March 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) i got mine after 20 some days, tried to fly it today and the camera light comes on and that is it. Copter does nothing! this sucks!Still nothing? Maybe a wires loose inside. With the screw driver they give you the top comes off super easy. Don't forget the two screws under the battery door on either side of the battery plug. You do not need to take out the screws that are around the motors. It snaps off really easy.My bro just got 3 of them from them and they're all good. Some came in a all white box like mine did and another came in a Syma box.

jdonn Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 One of my motors burned up already. Luckily, Amazon has them for cheap. Today would have been a perfect day to fly!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today would have been a perfect day to fly!!!Really? Did you ever wreck it and not quickly drop throttle? I feel bad for recommending it now.... Mine and my bros all still fly perfect with tons of flights. Maybe GB was drunk for Chinese New Years a mixed up the returned quads.On the other hand it's still a deal. My bro messed up the Cheerson cx-20 and the replacement parts are over $60. Edited March 8, 2015 by Gump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowdog Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 thats another thing, mine didnt come with the screw driver or the proppeler protectors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) Over 60?! Wow!!! I got 4 new motors for 15 bucks... No biggie. Plus I really like flying it. Don't feel bad for suggesting it, it's a lot of fun. What mode do yall use on the controller? I have found mode 2 to be a lot easier...

max power Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Flew my el cheapo so high today I almost lost sight of it. Then the wind took it about a half mile away with me running behind before I cut power and dropped it in a field. Just glad I didn't drop it in the pond.
