    X8 help, which remote? Setup?

    Solved, I had to plug in my 4 cell lipo then plug in the usb cable to the x8. Passed right away, seems like it needs a certain amount of volts to get the MAVlink to work. Thanks for the quick reply, so far so good.

    X8 help, which remote? Setup?

    Hi, new to the drone world except for a fpv racer i have but i got a used x8 for a good deal with no transmitter. Which transmitter will work? Any 2.4ghz? Which software do i use to setup the transmitter? I am pretty much clueless on how this thing needs to be setup.
