Skywalker V323 RC Hexacopter Finding a great product to include in your quadcopter collection or perhaps to start one might be a headache and there is no denying this. This is because there are a lot of different drones on the market place, all claiming as being the best. In return, this can make it hard to actually find the most suitable, but don’t worry, because you are not the only one.


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

I love researching 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 wish 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 constructed from durable ABS plastic and features no lower than 6 motors. The 6 blades are protected by shell built from moulded foam which absorbs impact keeping it easy and stable 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 has a 4 channel 2.4 GHz transmitter.

Benefits and Drawbacks

Searching for a quality product may possibly be difficult as all come along 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. Also, 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 for example, a GoPro with close 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 might 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.
