Incredible Quadcopter with tons of upgrades!

For the price this is one amazing piece of technology. I wouldn’t say it’s 100% ready to go out of the box but it can and will perform out of the box. The absolute best thing to do with this quadcopter is research, research, research! There are tons of modifications and things you can to make this quad better than stock.

I started by getting on the RCgroup forums on the CX-20 thread and getting information from there. I found the first thing you want is to get your CX-20 connected to mission planner. From there you can do better calibrations than just the regular ones you do from the manual. Mission Planner opens up a world of possibilities and parameters for you. Just take your time and read! At the end of my video I’ve listed some websites and places to go to, you may not be able to see this through Amazon but I’ll give a youtube link in the comments to see the HD video.

Before using mission planner my GPS was rubbish! It would not hold correctly and when I hit return home the quad would try to fly away. After calibrating it through mission planner it was like I had a whole new bird to fly, it really did make all the difference.

I also advise making you a little cheat sheet like I did for your remote, so you know what mode you want to fly in at a glance.

Another thing I found through those forums to help reduce jello in your videos, those little rubber dampeners that holds the camera plate, I stuffed those with 1 ear plug each and that really helped reduce vibrations down into the camera.

This quad is powerful and a blast to fly, I can’t wait to get into upgrading to a FPV screen and maybe some telemetry too. If you are looking for something to tinker with and a lot of DIY then this is what you want. I’ll admit I didn’t think I wanted to fool with all of this but after getting into it I rather enjoyed doing little things to the quad to help improve it.

Overall for the price it’s incredible, just know you are going to have to do a lot of reading and a lot of DIY to get this bird in tip top shape, but the end result will absolutely be worth it and it will be something you are proud to show off. I received this quadcopter to test and review in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.
