This would be a great UAV for beginners

Well Arris/Hobby-Wing have outdone themselves! A real RTF ship, install batteries in the Radiolink TX unit, connect the battery to the X-Speed and fly. This would be a great UAV for beginners. The installed motors are for 3S battery, you can't use 4s battery! The good news is that Arris/Hobby-Wing has included a paper diagram if you want to know how it's put together, an ESC calibration manual and a PDF manual DVD in both English and Chinese. VERY simple instructions on updating the CC3D software and calibrating the TX. I've built so many crafts that my wife has threatened to divorce me BUT this is the FIRST RTF or assembly craft I've received with paper instructions and craft diagrams! This is a HUGE PLUS in my book! So often getting a kit or RTF and having absolutely NO DIRECTIONS or INFORMATION! Not with this package! The only time I had to go online was to download the Openpilot software to update the CC3D! With this package I had to install VTX 5.8GHz and flew FPV! Flying is easy, although they don't describe what the mode switch does. 1) Easy flying for beginners 2) Slightly more aggressive and 3) Speed mode for somersaults and rolls (Expert). Of course you can change the settings in the OpenPilot software to your liking, if you don't know the OpenPilot settings, READ about it on the OpenPilot forums and on the OpenPilot website! I've had a few drops with it, the arms are very thick and the 3-layer plate construction is very solid, the camera, FC and secondary camera (GoPro) mounts are all on an anti-vibration plate...very smooth and non-sticky. Oh in the video! The FPV camera can be tilted and mounted in the frame in fast forward flight, so IF you crash, the FPV camera is protected! The Arris/Radiolink AT-9 TX is the new radio of the future and ready to fly! Because Arris/Radiolink has a dual-link receiver, you get both RX and RSSI power. I bought a Radiolink PRM-01 module to add to the X-Speed and now I am getting the flight controller battery voltage on the Arris/Radiolink display. TX it has a low voltage warning system that you can customize. In addition to the signal tone, the device vibrates when there is low voltage! Arris/Radiolink is easy to program via the user-friendly menu display. I strongly recommend updating your transmitter firmware! If you want a more aggressive Arris/Hobby wing flying contact they have a 2207 2100kv that can run on a 4S battery. [.]
