XK X520 (FPV Version) VTOL RC Airplane Flight Test Review

This vertical takeoff stabilized RC airplane is available in basic, lighted night flier, and this FPV camera version. Find it here
Pro's
- As with all versions of the X520, the aircraft is capable of vertical takeoff and landing, along with stabilized horizontal flight, and unstabilized 3D aerobatic flight. All three are quickly and easily selectable at the flip of a switch.
- Includes a 720p FPV belly mounted video camera. Video can be recorded to your phone or directly to a microSD card (not included) inserted into the canopy of the aircraft.
- WiFi video is sent to your phone via 5G WiFi. This prevents interference between the controller and FPV video, allowing maximum range for both.
- The aircraft and video can be viewed and controlled via the XK X520 app (Android , iPhone , coming soon to Google Play). App also includes telemetry including signal strength, altitude, and remaining battery power.
Cons
- Currently only 5G WiFi is supported for the camera. As of the date of this video, many phones still are not yet 5G WiFi capable. First verify that your phone is indeed 5G capable before considering purchasing.
- Even when the camera is tilted maximum forward, the camera only shows a view of the ground when in level flight. This makes true FPV flying very difficult via the received video.
