XAircraft X650 Flight Style

X650 supports two Flight Style: "Quadcopter Plus Style" and "Quadcopter Cross Style" as the diagram shows:
Quadcopter Plus Style

Quadcopter Cross Style

Plus Style, motors distributed as Front(M1), Left(M2), Back(M3), Right(M4). This style can be easy controlled for starters.When comes to aerial photography or videography, motor in the front could be blocking the way when shooting.
Cross Style, motors distributed as Right-Frontward(M1), Left-Frontward(M2), Left-Backward(M3), Right-Backward(M4). This style brings an incredible view of aerial photography/videography,users can have a smooth flat view in the air.

X650 can adjust flight style flexibly.It takes two steps to do the adjustment.

Parameters adjustment

XAircraft X650 supports Hover Mode and Cruise Mode.

Hover Mode

Hover Mode: In this mode lever value on the AILE/ROLL and ELEV/Pitch stick on the RC board are straightly explained as flight attitude of X650. At this point it is similar to LAMA helicopters when operating X650. When applying aileron lever to a certain value X650 will roll to a relevant direction but stop rolling at a certain degree meanwhile keep the attitude on that degree. When remove the control X650 will return to level. Remove control on the AILE and ELEV stick X650 will regain balance automatically, on account of that it is easy controlled for starters and stable images capture but not the aerobatics like Funnel,fly in a figure 8 or loop/rolls.

Cruise Mode

Cruise Mode: In this mode lever value on the AILE/ROLL and ELEV/Pitch stick on the RC board are straightly explained as fly movement of X650. At this point it is similar to FLASHER 450SE helicopter when operating X650. When applying aileron stick to a certain value X650 will keep rolling to a relevant direction, the higher lever value, the faster it will roll. When removing control from the aileron stick X650 will hold the attitude at that value rather than restore to level. Cruise Mode supports stunts like Funnel,fly in a figure 8 or loop/rolls and takes air route shots with ease.

Flight Mode Switch

X650 supports users to change flight mode in the air.You can connect RC GEAR channel to Input 5channel on FC1212-S.Showed as follows:

Receiver FC1212-S Function Description
GEAR ---- Input 5 Flight Mode Switch Hover Mode and Cruise Mode switch,used GEAR channel or other switch channel usually

Notice: When Gear channel has the minimum value X650 is on Hover Mode and Cruise Mode on maximum value.It is default Hover Mode when it is no connect.

X450 Test Photos

XAircraft X450 is a small multi-rotor aircraft, fit for practice for beginners, it uses the same flight controller and AHRS with the X650. X450 test photos as follows:

X650 Firmware Updated To v1.20

XAircraft X450 QuadCopter

XAircraft X450 is a mini version of X650, can fly coupled with remote control and batteries. But X450 is still using the "core" of X650 which owns all the features of X650! Such as the strong expansion capacity, it can be extended to 8 axes aircraft, also can be extended to install GPS, electronic compass, OSD and other modules.

XAircraft X450 is suitable for beginners, owe to its simple and reliable frame structure, the impact resistance is better than X650.

X450 is suitable for electric helicopter and FPV enthusiasts; the load capacity of X450 up to 900g, suitable for FPV equipment or a digital camera.

X450 have a more affordable price, and equipped with more high-end core of X650 - F1212S flight control and AHRS.

X450 is suit for those super DIY players, X450 can drive an ordinary PWM power transfer , and a variety of brushless motors, supports 4-axis (X and + two flying styles), 6 axis, 8-axis, etc., It almost support all that you imagine, you can use a more powerful brushless motor and ESC to get a bigger load!

Note: The transmitter,receiver and battery are NOT INCLUDED, you need to prepare a 6-chn(at least) transmitter, a 6-chn(at least) receiver, 3S 2200mAh~5500mAh or 4S 2200mAh~5500mAh lithium battery and assemble X650 youself.
