This my second xk380 (first one got shot down at pig roast) so I have 2 Transmitters .My friends bought me the new one . I took my first TX this morning and wanted to see if the quad would bind and respond without doing anything to either one . Well the TX bound and I was able to control and fly it . Makes me wonder if all the XK's are on the same frequency .
The reason I did this was because my new quad does not like to RTH . When I tried it the XK climbed and started heading away from it's starting point by about 20 feet (7m) before I turned RTH off and brought it back to where is should have landed . In my area I always get 12 satellite's . That's why I didn't do the GPS shielding mod (yet). While it hovers it constantly tries to gain altitude (very slowly) and it likes to move around on it's own . All the TX settings are good and I recalibrate (GPS)before every flight . My first quad was not like this . It was perfect as far as RTH and hovering . It was fun to fly . If my first XK was like this I wouldn't have bought a second one .
I do have some pieces and parts from my first XK . The main board and GPS unit are still good . It lost 1 arm , 2 legs , 3 props and a motor . It was only 10 feet (3m) up when it got shot down so I think most of the electronics are good. This winter I might change some parts around and see what happens .
The moral to the story is :
1. Don't take your quad to a pig roast
2. Don't fly 2 XK's together
3. Not all XK parts are equal in quality
