Skywalker V323 RC Hexacopter Finding a great product to add to your quadcopter collection or perhaps to start one may possibly be a headache and there is no denying this. This is because there are numerous different drones on the market place, all claiming to be amazing. In return, this makes it hard to actually find the best, but don’t worry, because you are not alone.


Research is a core factor in picking the right product. I personally enjoy learning about the different quadcopters that are for sale

I love studying on different drones on the market and after that I go back and report my findings to my readers (I call it giving you guys/girls a helping hand). Recently, I have discovered the Skywalker V323 and want to share my thoughts with you.

Description of the Skywalker

The Skywalker V323 RC Hexacopter is a large sturdy quadcopter than provide fun for everyone. Produced by WLToys it’s built from durable ABS plastic and features no less than 6 motors. The 6 blades are protected by shell built from moulded foam which absorbs impact rendering it stable and easy to fly. It’s powered by a fullymax 1600 mAh 7.4 V litium polymer battery, and comes ready to fly right out of the box.

Features and Benefits

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 features a 4 channel 2.4 GHz transmitter.

Pros and Cons

Searching for a quality product can possibly be difficult as all come along with pros and cons. The Skywalker V323 is no different. The core pro with 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 is able to carry cameras for example, a GoPro with next to no performance loss.

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 may possibly be an annoyance to more accomplished hobbyists. The motors are also prone to overheating and failure if the product is performed at top speed. 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 because of the sheer size of the product, beginner hobbyists may find it difficult to keep under control. The slow yaw rate of the Skywalker V323 makes it a great choice as an FPV platform because the flight stability it fantastic, however for experienced hobbyists searching for a sports flyer it’s probably not the best choice. I would recommend this product to intermediate flyers considering a more relaxed product to enjoy rather than as a racing Hexacopter. However, it is definitely a fun and eye catching upgrade to the hugely popular V262.
