Skywalker V323 RC Hexacopter Finding a great product to add to your quadcopter collection or even to start one may be a headache and there is no denying this. This is because there are so many different drones on the market, all claiming as being the very best. In return, this causes it to be 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 finding out about the different quadcopters on the market place

I love doing research on different drones on the market then I return 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 wish 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 stable and easy to fly.

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.

Benefits and Drawbacks

Searching for a quality product can possibly be difficult as all come with cons and pros. 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 airborne, and it has incredible horse power. Also, the ready to fly feature means even beginners can get the V323 into a stable hover without too much practice. If any parts are lost or broken, the design is very stylish and repair parts and upgrades are readily available so the investment is not lost. It also has the ability to carry cameras for example, a GoPro with next to no performance loss.

Unfortunately there are also some cons to this product, when it’s coming 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 might be an annoyance to more accomplished hobbyists. The motors are also prone to overheating and failure if the product is run at maximum speed. And also, the product does not come along with a GPS system so watching it is imperative, it will fly become lost to view 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. 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 hunting 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 instead of as a racing Hexacopter. However, it is definitely a fun and eye catching upgrade to the hugely popular V262.
