Syma X51 Scout Quadcopter Flight Review
Syma X51 Spaceship Drone:
The M71 Scout is the same Drone as the Syma X51, the only difference is the name.
There are tons of toy quadcopters out there and not much changes when new models come out. Finally the X51 quadcopter comes out with a tricopter design that stands out from the rest! At first glance it appears to only have 3 motors, but the front section actually has a top and bottom motor. One pushes down and the other pulls up. When I first saw this design, I didn’t expect it to fly well at all but really wanted to test it out. I was surprised with how well it actually handled and while it does have some strange flying characteristics, it’s still overall a great little toy quadcopter.
I’ll start with the CONS.
First is the yaw or spinning. If you’re hovering in one position and add yaw, the quadcopter will sway around and won’t stay in one spot very well. This isn’t a big deal outside where you have plenty of space but inside, especially in a small room it can make it difficult to control for beginner fliers. Outside, the performance is pretty good but it will sometimes “over steer” if you’re too quick with the yaw. Make sure to add light controls and your X51 quadcopter will fly really well. If you’re new to flying quads, I would recommend flying if over grass for the first time to get used to the way it handles.
Now for the PROS.
The battery life is good at just over 5 minutes and the battery is replaceable so expect to find cheap replacement batteries pretty easily.
The front cage that surrounds the two front motors is solid and does a great job at protecting the front end.
The X51 performed flips without any problems. I just couldn’t get mine to flip forward, but it handles side and back flips.
It’s design and bright lights makes it a lot easier to see outside. Most quadcopter are hard to distinguish the direction they’re pointing when far away because of their square design, but this tricopter design makes flying more enjoyable when you can easily see which direction the front is facing.
