Skywalker V323 RC Hexacopter Finding a great product to put into your quadcopter collection or maybe to start one may be a headache and there is no denying this. This is because there are lots of different drones on the market place, all claiming as being the best. In return, this makes it hard to actually find the most suitable, but don’t worry, because you are not alone.


Research is a core factor in picking the right product. I personally enjoy discovering the different quadcopters on the market place

I love researching on different drones on the market then I go back and report my findings to my readers (I refer to it as giving you guys/girls a helping hand). Recently, I have discovered the Skywalker V323 and would like to share my thoughts with you.

Description of the Skywalker

Produced by WLToys it’s made of durable ABS plastic and features no less than 6 motors. The 6 blades are protected by shell made of moulded foam which absorbs impact making it easy and stable to fly.

Benefits and Features

The Skywalker V323 has a flying time of 9-12 minutes on full charge, with full charge taking 90-120 minutes to reach.

It comes equipped with a lithium polymer rechargeable battery and charger.

It features a flying radius of 100-150m.

The package also includes a 4 channel 2.4 GHz transmitter.

Benefits and Drawbacks

Searching for a quality product can possibly be difficult as all come with pros and cons. The Skywalker V323 is no different. The core pro of this product relates directly to its size. The huge nature of the product means it’s easy to see what it’s doing while in the air, and it has incredible horse power. The ready to fly feature means even beginners can get the V323 into a stable hover without too much practice. The design is very stylish and repair parts and upgrades are readily available so the investment is not lost if any parts are lost or broken. It also has the ability to carry cameras like a GoPro with next to no performance loss.

Unfortunately there are also some cons to this product, when it’s flying at eye level it’s quite difficult to tell which direction the drone Hexacopter is facing making navigation tricky. It also has a very slow yaw rate which could be an annoyance to more accomplished hobbyists. If the product is run at full throttle, the motors are also prone to overheating and failure. As, the product does not come with a GPS system so keeping an eye on it is imperative, it will fly out of sight if you let it.

Conclusion

This product is ready to be flown straight out of the box, however due to the sheer size of the product, beginner hobbyists may find it difficult to keep under control. I would recommend this product to intermediate flyers looking for a more relaxed product to enjoy rather than as a racing Hexacopter.
