WLToys Q303-A Large Altitude Hold FPV Gimbal Drone Flight Test Review

This WLToys large quadcopter has a lot going for it including 5.8Ghz FPV, alitude hold, an excellent jello free camera, and a one axis stabilized gimbal that works well. Find it here
Oh boy, I hope they don't change anything on this one, as it could be a winner if WLToys leaves it as is ;-)
Pro's
- 5.8 Ghz FPV system including transmitter and receiver/monitor. System provides good signal with minimal lag. Provides superior FPV performance as compared to WiFi FPV fliers.
- Great camera and great gimbal camera anti-vibration suspension. Takes very nice 720p video with NO JELLO! Propeller balancing not required :-)
- One axis stabilized gimbal that works very well in maintaining steady elevation of the camera. Gimbal is also remote controlled if the pilot wishes to raise or lower the camera view.
- Battery provides reasonably good flight time for a quadcopter of this size. When battery power gets low, quadcopter becomes sluggish and gradually descends to the ground.
- Altitude hold works great at low and intermediate flight rates. At high expert rate, it becomes less effective at high pitch, but helps smooth altitude changes.
- Very good flier. Nice and fast at high rate to give a feeling of flying a racer FPV quadcopter. Should be a good trainer prior to purchacing a racer.
- Headless mode and one key return.
- Transmitter is slectable fro Modes 1 through 4.
- Seems to use widely available Syma X8C style motors.
Cons
- Battery is proprietary, although it's very easy to connect (slide in connection).
- Heavy enough to require FAA registration.
