You are going to have to make an appolgy video its T Hexacopter or coaxial tricopter, so not a quad or Y. Originally folks did it to help get props out of the shot. Y tricopters used to use 3 RC helicopter tail gyros and a servo to tilt the tail motor.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I expected all of such comments because simply, there is no correct name that is accepted by all, so sticking with DRONE or QUAD is a universal term that everyone identifies with no matter how many arms or motors a remotely piloted aircraft has. This is why many will disagree with you as to the name and others may agree. This is the great thing about the comments section… everyone has a thought and often an opinion, and are free to express it.

The goal is to not land upside down but if you do crash and tumble, the antennas pop out (as shown in the unboxing).

You are correct! Originally I had a two minute segment where I went through all the possible names for this drone and why they would be incorrect. Then I thought… I’ll leave it out of the video and let all the people who think they know best to chime in. So far, no one has suggested a name that works. Hex is for 6 arms, 6 motors, so that doesn’t work. Tri-copter, is for 3 arms, 3 motors, so that doesn’t work.

“Quad” was used as a generic bookmark and also to cause people to comment because there is no agreed upon name for this style of drone. So, the result was successful.

2nd comment from Philippines

[@salexu10]

Any information about the range? How far it can actually fly? What does it mean that it is called "long range"?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Long Range is based on many things in the FPV hobby: - First, Range is based on the battery used (you need power to fly out and fly back) - Second, Range is based on your VTX system (video system). You need to see the video in your goggles no matter how far you fly - Third, Range is based on the Receiver and the Transmitter (Receiver in drone, Transmitter in the Radio in your hands) - Fourth, Range is based on the type of antennas used on Radio, Goggles, Drone - Fifth, Range is based on on where you fly (in the FPV Hobby you fly in and out of objects which kills transmission). If you fly an FPV drone like a DJI GPS Camera drone (above the trees) then you get long range.

The rule is this…. If any human asks if they should get an AVATA 2 or another drone it means two very important things. #1…. They have enough money to afford an AVATA 2. #2… They are a NEWBIE and have no idea about the FPV Hobby. My advice in such a case, get the AVATA 2 as it is made for 100% NEWBIES and you’ll have a good experience.

[@christophertelford]

I don't think those battery checkers that give percentages are very accurate. You need to have a working and accurate mAh counter on your aircraft to get good results or else use the mAh counter on your charger to measure the amount of mAh put back in after the flight.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thanks for the comment. I will say that once you are in the RC hobby for 15 years, these cheap little battery voltage testers make perfect sense. I use them all the time with a ridiculous number of brands of batteries and they provide sufficient info to extrapolate the results.

[@christophertelford]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 You could easily test how reliable one of yours is by flying a full battery down to about 50% remaining (as far as the tester was concerned) and then charging the battery back to full and seeing what the mAh back in are reported as by the charger. This would give you an idea how reliable your method is. I'd do the test a few times to check for consistency. I am guessing you'll find it's not that accurate but I could be proven wrong.

Steve, isn't it detrimental to offset the CG, ya know ?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Rarely is that an issue on a drone

[@dallasb7117]

@CAPTAINDRONE798 Really ?....So there are times when an Unbalanced multirotor flys just like a balanced one ?....Okie Dokie bud.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

@@dallasb7117OK so you’re not that experienced, I get that from your response. Think about every FPV Drone on the market that takes various size batteries and various size cameras. Perhaps you’ve been spending too much time on forums and reading silly comments. Now if you ONLY do Freestyle, then you want an X frame and a battery on the bottom center and NO external camera for best flick ability. But for everyday flying and filming, CG has no place in flight as the flight controller always adjusts.

[@dallasb7117]

@CAPTAINDRONE798 Gee that's quite an assumption Steve..been flying FPV Acro quads, wings and planes several years. Rarely visit forums or chats either. I do fly some Freestyle but recently more into mid-long range FPV Wings. And yes indeed you can fly an Unbalanced quad..as a jet fighter buddy once said to me "if ya put enough power on it you can fly a brick" (I'm an ex military photojournalist) And, again, you sure can do that Steve...but considering the Unbalanced wear on components and slightly lesser flying characteristics (maybe You can't tell the difference 😉) I will continue to try and nail the CG as accurately as possible. BTW how long have you been flying? Seems like you would agree with me rather than question my experience....Maybe you should conduct a poll: "Does a CG balanced aircraft fly better than an Unbalanced one?" seems silly but maybe you could gain some insight. Happy Flying

Quad : 4x Hex : 6x end of line

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

In caveman thinking terms that is certainly correct. I’m not calling you a caveman but just pointing out your logic is in the realm of simplicity. But if you think about arms that are only 3, then the caveman thinking needs to evolve

[@tronziebit]

Well, it is not a quad. It is a secta-drone 🤪😂 Nice review and drone.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Many Thanks!

[@X862go]

Put a bigger battery seems like it has a lot of lift to weight.

[@glitchunicorn]

Here I thought it was going to be louder than a DJI Avata.

[@Friskee62]

Why would this be a QUAD?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

You are welcome to do as others and give your best guess as to what you would call it. Perhaps a HEX… but wait, that has six arms. Hmmm… perhaps a Tri-Copter, but wait, that has 3 motors. Ok, join the gang, give it your best try.

[@brianacosta3962]

only reason to call it a quad so many times is coercion from dollars behind the "quad"

[@J4F815]

It should probably be called a Hexocopter

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

It could be... but then people would look for six arms.

[@adakalyoncu1913]

That’s actually called a y6 hex.

[@fixitfast110]

Quad means four you need to call things what they are if you clam to inform. It may be called a tri-copter having 3 branches rather than four. 🙂

[@arthurandersen4750]

Can't really call it a 'quad' can we? How about 'quad +2' or maybe 'triple deuce' ?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Your guess is as good as everyone else’s. Read comments below and you’ll see everyone has a different naming convention.

[@dannomight1980]

or if you buy one you can say you got a triple double?
