    I have this bird. I recommend ONLY using airplane mode if you (the plane I mean) are really high; and if you do, be ready to bail out into quad mode fast because there is delay in the transition/stability. This thing is super easy to break when you crash in airplane mode, even at low altitude. I've had to replace the plastic parts and servos. But still a fun plane to have. You were very lucky with your crashes. Good tip about unplugging the battery to realign the actuator assys.

    • @karls5474
      @karls5474 4 года назад

      Batmo Juice I agree. I crashed on my 4th day 1st try in airplane mode (totally new to rc). Plane caught on fire and fried the esc. I now have to wait for a new esc from China. Do you have any idea for replacement parts that can be had in the States? It was a lot of fun while it lasted

    Just flown mine, and I love it. I have it for over a 6 months now. First thing I did was changing servos for metal gear one. I also like to fly it with little fpv camera on its nose, that I atached to it. It is so much fun flying 3D plane mode, and what I love about it is that if you panic you simply press this red button again and it will auto level itself👍 Great review Dustin 👍

    Thanks for reviewing this awesome aircraft. The red button only works in airplane mode, turning it from stabilized to fully aerobatic mode. I would also recommend getting some altitude before switching to airplane mode, this little thing really moves. Totally awesome fpv flyer as well.

  • @gvanausdle
    @gvanausdle 4 года назад +1

    I bought mine last year and I stripped the servo the first time it crashed and the props were down like yours. I replaced them. Maybe they have better servos now as you did that multiple times without stripping the gears. I've since ordered servos w metal gears but have yet to install them. Its so much fun to fly.

  • @michaeledmonds3027
    @michaeledmonds3027 2 года назад +2

    Thanks for your excellent tag along video review. I have one coming soon. I was told to stay away from the suggested 1300 mAh upgrade batteries, because they're bigger than stock and won't fit without removing foam. Also, It looks like the X450 won't handle any wind, so perhaps get some altitude before going into plane mode. And, looks like there's some servo lag time returning the motors to horizontal. So I'll plan accordingly.

  • @gimpman1357
    @gimpman1357 4 года назад +2

    Drone Camps RC has the fix ie. replace stock servos with metal gear servos.
    I really wanted to get one of these. (I fly both planes and quadcopters). Then I saw every reviewer destroy the servos after one crash. Then soon after the price went up $40. So I passed.
    PS. Be nice if XK would do the servo upgrade instead of continuing to sell the x450 without addressing the issue.

  • @randytinney6854

    Well, it's definitely 'different'. I can see a few weak points .. especially the clevises & hardware which moves the motors back & forth. Those props don't look like they'd take a cement crash, so best to fly this over a grassy field. I guess it's worth the $100 price, but it would be a better value if it came with at least 2 batteries. Looks to be too sensitive in 'airplane' mode, so you have to have a light hand on the stick. I had to smile when you mentioned the Eneloop rechargeable batteries ... they really are very good, and I use them myself. They have a very long charged shelf life with good capacity. Not sure that this will bring XK Innovations a better "cash flow" .. they seem to have dropped out of the quadcopter market. Cheers!

    I think I'm like a lot of people. I started my foray into RC flight with Co-Axials. Then migrated to wuads/drones. Followed by FPV aircraft.
    Then when the tiny AIO cameras came out, almost everything became FPV. Bu adding only 7 grams one can make almost anything into FPV.
    I added a Wolfwhoop AIO to the Firefox fixed pitch flybarless heli. The lens is in the nose of the canopy. A little 50mA lipo under the stock batt.
    No real change in aerodynamics. 2 minutes less flight time.
    But its SOOOO COOOL
    I think the battery mounted below the stock COG made it more stable!!! Only added 6 grams. I found a 33mA batt supposed to weigh .6 gm. Only %2, so gonna try one. The 70mA weighs 1.4. Should last as long as it flies?

    What's good about these VTOL aircraft is you can take off and land anywhere then fly like a plane. Looks like you just need to get higher while in plane mode. I bet with more altitude you wouldn't be crashing. It can go higher I imagine?

    Would break my brain though as I fly fixed wing mode 2, Heli's and Quads mode 1.. don't ask... just works for me lol..

    Great plane, I have it for a year. And plane mode is quite hard, if you are not regular plane flyer, or better to say, if you mostly flying drones, like I do.
    While I'm figuring out how to make here decent FPV system, not just putting some Eachine TX04 AIO camera. For me most important thing at FPV is to have battery voltage OSD information. Without that info I think flying FPV is not safe.
    Good luck. (Y)

    The first time to fly an airplane for me, I thought it was a blast. I've got many upper classed drones and considering the 3 modes and the price it is fantastic deal and fairly easy to fly. I swear it had to have got up to over 60mph! That was the first flight and crashed when I slowed down. Still e=waiting for parts, but cant' wait to get it up in the air again. I already learned how not to crash.;-)

  • @brianroberts5740
    @brianroberts5740 2 года назад

    Oh, I meant to say that this kinda reminds me of my, ( don't laugh), Air Hogs VTOL. A tilt wing airplane/Co-Axial heli? Whatever it is.
    In airplane mode, ya push a button and the wings and 2 co-ax motors flip up vertically. Push again, they flip back horizontally.
    It actually flies okay.
    Wow!!!! That thing is pretty fast. Definitely no6a backyard flier. Ya my, like the Night Vapor or a Duet or Twin Explorer. Those I can fly in my backyard. Too many trees. That's why I fly mostly quads/drones.
    Well.........You did it!!!! It's your fault I gotta get one of these. I think it's too fast for beginners though.
