Youbi XV-130 racing drone

Introduction

China is a country where everything is copied, cars, phones, toys, etc. There was a time when products made in China were considered third-class goods, generally due to very low quality. Today, the quality of Chinese goods is not much different from the products of well-known brands, outperforming the latter in price, in favor of the consumer. We hasten to present an exact copy of the famous – Atom V2 RotorX, racing drone – Youbi XV-130.

Recall that the Atom V2 RotorX drone comes to the owner in a completely disassembled state, and this fact is a significant inconvenience for some UAV lovers. Youbi XV-130 in this regard is its complete opposite.

After a short setup, the “atomic” drone shows all its advantages with a 4S battery. I did not like the stock rotors, the quality is poor, they are not balanced and cause vibrations. Also in practice, self-unwinding of the motor mounting bolts was revealed. Before the first start, it is better to put all the fasteners on the thread fixer. In general, the drone will please both Pro class pilots and amateurs. Age limit 14+.
