Eachine Wizard X220 FPV Racer Drone Flight Test Review

This inexpensive RTF racer is just plain fun to fly. Extremely agile and maneuverable, it may be a bit too aggressive in stock settings for entry level FPV fliers. But more experienced pilots will have a blast with this. Buy it here or here on Amazon
Pros
- Reasonably priced for a ready to fly FPV racer.
- Actual Flysky transmitter (not rebranded). Settings menu is not locked.
- 700TVL FPV camera.
- 48 Channel 200 mW FPV transmitter
- Naze 32 6DOF Rev 6 flight controller
- Comes with four complete sets of triblade propellers.
- 20A ESC's with 2300 KV motors.
- OK but not impressive punch with a 3S battery. But it makes up for that in maneuverability and just plain fun flying.
Cons
- Aggressive and agile stock settings, even in angle mode. New racer pilots may get discouraged flying this as overly aggressive. But they can tone it down if desired in Cleanflight.
- Receiver loosely strapped into the quadcopter. Its antennas are also just stuffed inside the quadcopter's body.
- FPV transmitter installed with shrink wrap still in place. Can't change its channels unless you partially disassemble the quadcopter to remove the shrink wrap over the channel switches.
- Controller mode switch positions did not match user manual settings. Switch C Position 1 and 3 were set to Acro, and Position 2 was set to Angle modes. But it's easy to reconfigure this in Cleanflight to match the manual's settings of 1 Andgle, 2 Horizon, and 3 Acro.
