WLtoys V959 review: simple quadrocopter with a camera on the radio

• Title: WLtoys V959 'Battleship' Quadcopter
• quadrocopters Type: RTF
• Price: about $ 50

WLtoys V959 - a small amateur quadrocopter, housing design that is identical Hoten-X. What you can expect paying $ 50 for a radio-controlled model - read below.

Paying $ 50 you get:

• Quadrocopters WLtoys V959
• Charger
• Li-polymer battery 500mAh
• mini camera
• 2 or 4 spare propeller
• remote control (batteries included do not go)
• microSD Memory Card 2 GB
• user guide
• card reader for memory cards

As you can see, the price includes all parts and supplies, in addition to the batteries to the remote control.

It just so happened that before in the hands of us got WLtoys V222 'Transmitter' - quadrocopter that the size of a little more than V959 (the copter to the width and height of 180 mm, while the V222 - 305 mm), which is equipped with an accelerometer, and more new transmitter and receiver, and the technical characteristics are absolutely identical to its predecessor. Because we will not be repeated, but just give a link to a review WLtoys V222, because even in flight V959 behaves identically to a newer model.

WLtoys has long been in the market of radio-controlled models, including copter, but because they know how to sell goods. Many models have quadrocopters general settings and details, differing only in minor changes.

V959 PRO - a more advanced version of V959. Firstly, quadrocopter increased in size and now the length and width of 305 millimeters it all. Secondly, copter received more advanced receiver and transmitter. In general, this version is even more similar to the V222 and it features only the absence of the accelerometer.

These changes resulted in an increase in the price of 10-20 dollars, depending on the store.
