3DR×8+ help

KMFMJ · Apr 5, 2018

I'm new to drone/rc world . Just got a 3DR×8+ ,it came with a spectrum DX7S CONTROLLER. I had no idea how to get it in the air . I Traded it for a 3DRsolo . I really liked the way it flew . I managed to get x8+back and am able to fly . But Wow it is VERY sensitive. And hard to fly in the wind and is nothing like the solo as far as it being stable. I'm guessing it's not progamed correctly. Indeed help with this . It's got to be Easier than this to fly. Seems like there is no GPS. I'm a beginner driving a HEMI

then run auto tune on it

if you're talking about a gps tracker attachment, i think it can. depending on how light the device is

It depends on what's your budget but just to make sure when attaching it, it is balances like it's not there

Well, on the practical side, if the motors struggle most of the time, it can be replaced with just a few bucks. But losing the drone once you encounter a human error is errr.....

that's why there's a gps tracker. not only to keep an accurate track of your drone but to also be accurate of not losing it.
