[@glowworm3345]

Nice flying! I've heard it's a pretty heavy model, so maybe that's what's draining the battery so fast?

[@SimRacer101]

+Glowworm 334 maybe. I saw Andy said that. I will have to compare it with my other 250s.

[@pi286]

bought it last week, been watching videos everyday and coutnless hours on simulator. Should be here next week cant wait to fly FPV for first time ever.

[@hadleighmurad]

Nice, i took mine out for my 2nd ever test flight, 1st with goggles and was able to fly it straight away, not as brave as you, but i pulled off a few successful barrel rolls and a few flips (front and back) however unfortunately i got too cocky and tried a triply frontflip and lost way too much altitude in the process, RIP VTX antenna/board and 4 propellers... ordered backup VTX's so can't wait to back up into the skies!

[@SimRacer101]

Oh no, Actually the same thing happened to me. EVERYONE companied about the arms in this model, but the top plate was the weak point. I actually bought a replacement frame and planned a video to easily move all the parts over, but it’s still in my giant To Do list.

[@hadleighmurad]

DroneRacer101 yes, the top frame has a small split in it.. I have placed the spare frame in my wishlist on banggood (£27) i gotta stop buying stuff though.. it's getting expensive now.. the only burning question that has been bugging me is... where the hell can I buy a gopro 6 mount for it? They only make session mounts as far as I can Google.. I don't want to splash out on another camera as I love tbe quality/fps of the 6.

[@bellalouisa1209]

I am looking for my first racing drone.. Can you help me? Maybe the eachine x220s? LG Alex

[@brodylindsay8760]

hey man, is this ready to fly so like you just hook up the radio?

[@vincentliphinsun8839]

hi there ....still waiting for mine to arrive.....can't wait...

[@ryancrowell7323]

Nice video I wish I picked this one up but I decided to pick up parts separately which is going to be a lot harder to put together

[@LachlanPeknice]

much more rewarding tho

[@ryancrowell7323]

i hope so

[@brendoncromwell8138]

the benefit of building your own is you know what to fix when it breaks.. which is inevitable in this hobby

[@ryancrowell7323]

Brendon Cromwell wholly crap people call me Cromwell all the damn time. Also yes I hear you there building it for sure was fun just got it together yesterday and it's a beast, thanks for the responses.

[@SimRacer101]

+Brendon Cromwell But that is what KZbin videos are for. :-). I used to be in the 100% built it camp, but now that there are such good ARFs and RTFs I've been swayed. Especially for things like the Wizard X220S when there are going to be 100,000 videos on how to diagnose and fix it like there are for the original.

[@rickflare6893]

Much better, big thumbs up dude!

[@inemm]

I’m just about positive I’m gonna buy one of these to x220s With transmitter so thank you for showing me I am making the right choice so far still have more research to do though

[@thaureth]

Hi :) I am looking for a dump for the LED please.

[@aquiobraeassim1674]

Boa noite, meu drone está desligando os motores em pleno vôo, não estou conseguindo saber o que está acontecendo. Você que tem mais experiência sabe me dizer o que fazer

[@chlvideos7859]

noob question. but why does my quad automatically pitch forward? I have to pull back on right stick to keep quad level, this may just be how acro mode works but just double checking is all.

[@robertkelly9508]

How do you set up the 3d flip on this drone? Eachine made it too bloody complicated in my view.I got this and it cost £145, and yet I prefer to fly my £45 Bugs 6 ! Rob

[@eliaonnembo699]

The OSD is included in the drone's factory setup or it's an upgrade that you have made after purchasing the model :) ?

[@SimRacer101]

It is built into the model.

[@codygreiner5397]

How long does the battery take to charge

[@Pez_tube]

Check out "andyrc" video on it for 10 channel set up.i think when in " aux switches" it says 6 channel at the bottom and you can change it to 10 there.

[@SimRacer101]

Yep, I definitely watch Andy's channel. This was all recorded before he had posted. I have a video just for getting started and fixing the quirks so you can get in the air as fast as possible with the Wizard X220S in progress.

[@tonyclay7225]

I don't see airmode next to anti gravity is not anywhere how do I get that going on beta flight

[@nitrorsfour]

Awesomeness. Not even a newby here only own slow flying camera drones. But I'm very impressed and interested in the fpv quods. My question is are there onboaord fpv cameras with better range and quality? The video in most of what I've watched useually is choppy and brakes up.

[@KeozFPV]

how much C has the battery?

[@fabvelloso]

Do you know how to change the vtx power?I have a x220s too, but i dont know how to set to 200mw. Tanks

[@idanben-moshe1317]

what was the range you got with it? what goggles are you using(it seems glitchy i mean what are those white sparks on the screen?)? thank you. How long were you flying?

[@SimRacer101]

The transmitter was only on 25mw so it was probably 100 meters, I set it to 200mw yesterday and got 200 meters which still seems short. I think I might have broken my antenna though so I'll reserve judgement. I'm using these goggles. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmLbaqWgdtejndE

[@berberdodo]

do you have a video for king kong 95gt i cant get mine to bind and it has a frsky receiver and i have a tarranis radio but still nothing... maybe something in bata flight ? i have to set up? if you know i would love to hear it thanks! i have a wizard too! i love it!...

[@SimRacer101]

+drums&drones Did get your pick and replied, but just realized this comment wasn't on my KingKong video. Here is the 110GT which will be the same as your 95GT and I got through binding and setup. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoeafHZjqtKopKM

[@TecHsia]

airmode and already installed by default settings?

[@SimRacer101]

It should be, I had mine a year ago, anything shipping now will support air mode, and if it isn't enabled by default it is a really easy setup.

[@pjmamanflightmonster526]

@@SimRacer101 Hey bro, I'm a little late to the party. Got my x220 and I love it. I can't figure out how to put it in the right mode for flips and stunts. Which switch do you flip? If I go into the TX menu and look at switch assignments and flip them, 1st one is sport mode (is that just more aggressive flight angles), 2nd is throttle hold and 3rd is throttle up. I don't want to Beta or Clean Flight if I don't have to.

[@NewCal10]

Hey guys, someone could post the LED dump for the x220s please? Thanks very much :)

[@pipeman451]

Saw andys on this. I believe the tx has 10 channels so if the rx has at least 7 channel you should be able to use one more channel for all flight modes. That is if my take on it is rights

[@SimRacer101]

+pipeman451 your take is right. I will be doing an update video on how to quickly get this ready out of the box.

[@enmodeandroid]

hello I have a remote fsi6 eachine, and I want to know what the receiver choose to x 220s wizzard. thank you.

[@SimRacer101]

+En mode android I am not a Flysky expert. But I believe I would pick the X6b bit.ly/2tQeoxE It's a very versatile receiver.

[@enmodeandroid]

Merci beaucoup pour le renseignements

[@josephmarciante9403]

can you tell me where to buy the better props for this one

[@Ibabthekebab]

Hi! I really enjoyed this review! pls could u tell me how to buy the thing that u put on the drone and goggles to connect them up! sorry im new to drones!

[@SimRacer101]

It depends on your budget. Here are budget and mid priced options. What are the Best Budget Goggles? EV800 vs EV800D vs EV100 vs VR006 kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJnZqp94fKh0i8U $300 FPV Goggles Shootout! - What are the best FPV Goggles? (To Me) kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXzClnigabF4sNE

[@noahbenns8345]

I have two questions 1: does it come with goggles? 2:what is the range in ft?

[@alexwang7502]

No goggles included, might come with controller if you get a bundle

[@antoniavillalba3469]

What sport camera did you use??

[@SimRacer101]

I use the GoPro Hero Session for most flights. At the moment I think it's the best value. geni.us/GoProHEROSession

[@85tazZy]

last question I promise 😅 Is video being recorded straight to the drone or controller..?

[@SimRacer101]

Two ways to record video. 1. It has a gopro mounted on it. 2. The goggles have a DVR and record the video.

[@siko9391]

DroneRacer101 is the dvr recording what it looks like in the goggles

[@RCFlyer85]

Did you say you were flying with a 2300mah?

[@SimRacer101]

+RCFlyer85 1300mah

[@LachlanPeknice]

2:35 *

[@SimRacer101]

RCFlyer85 oops. :-). Sorry, it was a 1300mah

[@momentum3825]

Hey man! New subscriber here. I want to know if i buy this quad or the fuuton furibee 200? Which one would you pick ? Please help

[@SimRacer101]

+MEA FPV The Fuuton is a LOT lighter. Did you see my review of that? Probably not, all of it's electrics exploded when I plugged it in and I had to return it and never got it posted. So I would go with the Wizard. :-)

[@momentum3825]

DroneRacer101 thanks for the fast reply. I checked Andyrc video of it and he mentioned that it does not perform well on a 4s and if used with a 5s its extremely loud. So what now?:p

[@SimRacer101]

+MEA FPV I think it performs fine on 4S, it just isn't insane like it is on 5S. The stock props seem to be the weak point which is very easy to resolve. It depends on what you want to do. Pure racing? freestyle? Or something versatile that you can take and do anything with but not as well as something speced for it. The Wizard is still still brand new so people haven't gotten to tinker much yet. But I think it is going to dominate that third category for the rest of the year at least.

[@momentum3825]

DroneRacer101 something versatile . And doesn't need a lot of tinkering to get it up and ready. I want to buy something and just enjoy flying it. Thanks for your support : so please if you can send me the links i should follow and gets things

[@85tazZy]

how far does it broadcast on controller & goggles ? how long does battery last ..?

[@SimRacer101]

It depends a lot on the environment. In open space with good goggles this would probably to a kilometer. But I would risk taking it out that far. The batter is good for 2-4 minutes depending on how you fly it.

[@yomanzpixel5877]

how many cells is that using?

[@SimRacer101]

This flight was 4S, but I did a 5S later in another video.

[@yomanzpixel5877]

DroneRacer101 ahh ok it’s pretty fast

[@SimRacer101]

This was a long time ago. I’m actually thinking about getting a new one to see how they have updated it.

[@mz000-o2w]

can you do a flip on it

[@85tazZy]

does it not hover by itself ..? do u always have to keep throttle up in order to keep hovering ..?

[@SimRacer101]

This is a racing drone. It won't hover in place all by itself like a GPS drone.

[@Stephan8111]

DroneRacer101 can gps be added for hover option and alt hold? And be turned on and off? I'm looking at getting my first race drone and would like that feature incase I lose orientation flying line of sight and or lose reception using goggles so I could flip to gps and altitude hold

[@SimRacer101]

Not right now with Betaflight. Inav can do it but that is why I keep an Angle switch on my radio. So I can flip to level mode fast.

[@Stephan8111]

DroneRacer101 ok thank you for the quick reply I appreciate it :) I'm looking at the emax hawk 5 or eachine wizard x220. It'll be my first racer.

[@MrBombom25]

thank you for sharing 👍👍 👍 👍

[@seanolley6536]

Nice flight but they dont fly from box as advertised especially for a new bigner trying to get in to this sport. And then no back up .if you can fly mine from the box and be honest you can have it.iam not new to flying .

[@ryanschumaker9104]

Do you think the price will go down on this?

[@SimRacer101]

+Ryan Schumaker not for a long time. If you are just starting and want a cheaper RTF. I still really like the Racer250Pro bit.ly/Racer250Pro-RTF Not everyone agrees with me. But I flew mine also too and still really like it. I abused the heck out of it and didn't even break a prop. Flew it through a tree and took half the tree out with me. :-) kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpeyq3ltgZl9rJY

[@jordanbass3210]

its already really cheap about the price of some good motors and esc's lol ..... why do u ask?

[@AmpHibious]

check out the orginal wizard, i got it on sale but the price is similar to the racer 250 but is missing features like a buzzer (which is easy to install) and an osd, but it has carbon arms instead of plastic so its pretty durable, and flies really smooth. i have some flight videos on my channel if you are interested.

[@SimRacer101]

when they start closing out the wizard and the price drops the Wizard X220 will be a great deal. Right now it is the same price as the Racer 250 Pro.

[@ryanschumaker9104]

Fab Lab FPV see I saw some reviews that said that it had some major flaws like the side plates sliding around and a lot of components breaking in crashes, so I thought this one would be a lot better but this so much more expensive that the original

[@RCFlyer85]

You had my heart racing... You seemed very uncomfortable flying or is it something else?

[@SimRacer101]

+RCFlyer85 uncomfortable? I just like to beat them heck out of them on these flights. It does look a little crazy.

[@RCFlyer85]

DroneRacer101 Oh ok... Was questioning if it was you or PIDs or something

[@andreatol]

bella casa !

[@simongogard4414]

You are dangerous guy

[@doktordrone]

awesome :)

[@marcferretti]

Why is the video quality so bad?

[@Emilskidor]

Just GOT it on craigslist for 100 dollars

[@SimRacer101]

+Emil Ski a Wizard X220S? Or an original Wizard?
