At last my Eachine E015 3 in 1 has arrived! I have been anxiously awaiting this product. I expect it to be a lot of fun since it can be used in multiple configurations, and on a wide variety of surfaces. Rather than just another Tiny Whoop drone, in this box you get the parts necessary to turn your drone into a boat, or a hovercraft/Tiny Whoov. I received the yellow version with two batteries, but this package is also available in red and with one, two, or three batteries. The price only varies a little bit with the extra batteries so I highly recommend getting the package with at least two batteries. If you already have a bunch of Eachine E010, E011, FuriBee F36, JJRC H36 etc batteries, then you're in luck because they will all work with this E015. The E015 batteries are 220mah 35c so they are slightly higher capacity than the E010, H36, F36 original batteries. In the box you also get a manual, a couple spare props, one CW and one CCW, along with a USB charger, screwdriver, and prop removal tool. All in all this is quite an interesting multi purpose RC vehicle available here for under $30 Check out the pics and stay tuned for running video demonstrations in each configuration. I have batteries charging now so I'll start getting some video ASAP. As always please don't hesitate to ask any questions you might have. Happy RC'ing!!

HTRC H4AC Duo 2s-4s Dual Output LiPo Balance Charger Review
Are you looking for an affordable, compact, and easy to use LiPo balance charger, capable of charging two batteries at once? If so then this little H4AC might be just what you want. This charger is about as easy to use as they come. Simply plug a battery into channel 1, or channel 2, or both, plug your balance connector into the appropriate port, and hit the start button. The charger will then begin charging your battery, or batteries, and the display will show the voltage of each individual cell being charged. It's as simple as that. Each channel has a fixed output of 2A, so the charger is best suited for 1100-2400mah 2s-4s batteries. I have used it several times now on my Tattu 75c 1050mah 4s batteries, and it has been working flawlessly. Cells have been consistently finishing within .01v of each other on the chargers display, as well as when I use my cell checker/balancer which has always been accurate for me. The fact that this little guy has a built in power supply makes it perfect for those that don't already own a 12v DC power supply. It is also quite small, so it takes up very little desktop, or bench space, and is super easy to travel with. You can see in the picture below just how small it is next to one of my 65mm Tiny Whoop Drones. Priced under $30 and Amazon Prime eligible, this is an excellent option for anyone on a tight budget, or as a backup/travel charger. Don't hesitate to ask any questions you might have. Happy RC'ing!! Available here for only $119 Flight Controller PDF Manual/Pin Out Diagram Thanks to member GCRC The new Skystars S225/STX225 DIY Kit is now available. Looks to me like it is going to be an excellent value in the 5 inch FPV racer category. Specs look really good, and I am liking that we are seeing more and more of these quads available in kit form. My kit arrived a couple days ago, and I finally got a chance to snap a few pics. Hoping to get started on the build this afternoon, and will post more pics as I make progress. EDIT-10/2/2018 Build is complete. Added a bunch more pics below. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions, or request pics of something I missed. Flight video coming soon. Also added some large zoomable images of the F405 AIO Flight Controller (FC) pinout to aid in wiring for anyone else doing this build. Some of the print on my board was pretty faint and the pics helped me locate the necessary solder pads. EDIT-10/3/2018 Managed a quick test flight today. Flies very smooth, and has a lot more punch, and speed than I was expecting, especially on 5042 high efficiency props. Should be really impressive on some 5152 props. EDIT-11-13-2018 Spares are now showing up at Gearbest Frames are available here for $21.44 Motors are available here for $8.24 each ESC's are available here for $6.99 I will update if/when more show up. EDIT-11/26/2018 Printed a shark fin for my Skystars STX225. Thing file here. Requires a quick easy mod to install. Front of the plate lines up perfectly, so install it with the stock screws and then you will see where to trim and drill the screw holes for the rear. See image below. EDIT-11/28/2018 Got some new props to try out as soon as the weather permits. They're EyeSky 5053 and I hope they perform as good as they look. See pic below. Flight video hopefully coming in the next couple days. EDIT-12/6/2018 Here is a link to some 3D printable landing gear designed for this quad. Special thanks to adis1313. If anyone here would like a set of this landing gear that doesn't have access to a 3D printer PM me, or post here and I will print you a set for actual cost. EDIT-12/18/2018 Flight video testing the new EyeSky 5053 props added below. Good news! After a 3:30 flight motors were still cool to the touch. |
