    Leaving Autel

    I'd rather smash it as well instead of pawning it off on some other person.

    Leaving Autel

    The X-Star owners had hope as well, but got put out to pasture. Good Luck!

    Interest in X-Star Premium

    IMHO, best sell it as their support for these models are Null. If it's flying fine, stay away from their firmware unless you want the possibility of bricking a perfectly functioning drone. I rant from experience.

    This should be interesting

    Glad you got it resolved. Mine sits in storage because their firmware bricked everything. One day working fine after i revived a dead battery and the next day a firmware update bricked it. Sent numerous emails in an attempt to get some type of fix but 1 month later, still no response from this...

    Charger compatibility for jump-starting X-Star battery

    Charger compatibility for jump-starting X-Star battery

    I fall into the same category with most of you with faulty batteries. Using the method of connecting the battery to an RC charger, sure sounds easier and safer, especially for a 70 yr old senior, so can anyone advise if a charger of this type>Amazon.com: Dynamite Prophet Sport Mini 50W...

    Gimbal pins: Use 2, or 4?

    Of the flights I've had, there appears to be no negative effects from only 2 installed on the gimbal.

    Gimbal pins: Use 2, or 4?

    No different but mine came with 2 installed and 2 extras. My son has a P3S and it has only 2 installed.

    Battery?

    Curious if you guys leave your battery in the aircraft or take it out after each use.

    First Flight

    Curious if you think this may have been pilot error or are these aircraft just not shutting down as they are suppose. I did not allow mine to shut down on its own and pulled downward on the stick. Auto-land together with pulling the stick down may have caused it for me.

    First Flight

    My son-in-law has a P3S and he says the Xstar is built like a tank compared to his. I don't plan on seeing if that is the case though.;)

    First Flight

    Finally the day came that I could take this new hobby outside for flying. I can say that I am very impressed with the flight characteristics of this drone. All went fairly well until my second landing, which I selected auto land, and upon touching down, the bird just tipped over with the blades...
