How do you install these? I've looked all over and can't find any instructions for how to install them on a Syma X1 quadcopter.

Plug lights in-line between battery and unit and wrap loosely around booms and secure w/ scotch tape or a dab of hot glue. If you wrap them too tight it will pull the connections apart during crashes.

Assuming that the Syma uses the same battery as the Blade, I simply wrapped the wires down the arms of the quad and secured under each motor with a couple of small Ty-wraps. It's helpful to put the two white lights facing forward and the redd and green facing back to aid in orientation of the craft. Good luck.

If you mean how to wire it... I looked at the X1 manual. It looks like the battery for the X1 does not have wire leads hanging off the battery. With the Blade mqx battery there is a connector hanging from the battery. Instead of plugging it into the mqx, you plug the battery into the lites, then the lead from the lites plugs into the mqx. Your battery looks different (no lead wires). Here is the mqx battery - E-Flite 500mAh 1-Cell 3.7V 12C Li-Po: 120SR EFLB5001S25 If you have no leads on the battery - you could follow the battery power to the circuit board and solder the leads from the lites to the plus and minus points on the circuit board.

The electrical connection adapts quickly and easily into the existing JST, battery connector. As for the 4 light strips, you have to attach them yourself somehow. I used very small zip ties, worked great. As an added detail, however, I should mention that, although the lights are very cool looking, they do add weight and do make the flight characteristics of the Syma X1 sluggish.

Just to add another comment on these batteries. They are the same as what comes with the Syma x1. I just checked mine. All 3 of mine are the same. The orginal and these two that I bought. Can't tell the difference in looks or flight time. Buy them you'll need them.

Jim, I bought mine about a year ago and my package came with two quadcopters (Gaui 330X-S Quad Flyer and the Heli-Max 1SQ). They were harder to fly because they are small and you have to keep them close. My package also came with the following helicopters. Bell 222, Dominion 3D, Dominion 3D 90, Dominion 3D 90 FBL, Dominion 400, Dominion 450 3D, Ecureuil, Furion 450, Gaui X7, Heli-Max Ave 400 3D EP RTF, Heli-Max Axe CP, Heli-Max Axe EZ, Huey UH1, Jet Ranger, Mako F3C, Schweizer 300C, Schweizer 300C W/Floats, Sikorsky Skycrane, Synergy E6, Synergy E7, Thunder Tiger Innovator EXP, Tutor 600, Tutor 600 Trainer, V22 Osprey, and the Westland Lynx. My favorite helicopter is the Lynx because it has four blades and is more stable and realistic to fly. The Osprey is also cool to fly - especially from the cockpit view. Also included is a training site that teaches hovering. Day and night flight are also available, plus you can add wind if you like. Great fun with awesome graphics. Camera views vary with aircraft, but include fixed on the ground, nose camera, cockpit view, or chase plane view. Enjoy. Package also includes a blimp, Wright Brothers flyer, sea planes, sail planes, gas and electric, single and multi engine planes

I found this YouTube video showing how they work, once installed. Looks cool! I'm totally getting some of these things. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYz0jnla_QI

If you're putting it in a new quad copter, I can understand (and have experienced) your confusion. It plugs into a small jack on the end of some cables. On mine, the jack was black on red and the cables leading to it were red and white. But just to jerk you around, they hide it when it is shipped to you. Look in the center of the underside of the unit. Peel back the black plastic and you'll find it tucked away there. Happy flying!

You have to download a plug-in from X-plane.org. Install in plug-in folder. Activate the plug-in.

Susan I can probably help but I need more to go on than moves sideways to the left. Is this your first FP heli? Mark marknauman53@gmail.com

I have two U12As. I purchase parts from www.goodhelicopter.com . Inexpensive pricing and only $5. shipping regardless the size of the order. It takes 2-4 weeks before the parts arrived, but I have successfully repaired both copters from crashes from 100+ feet high and getting out of radio range, at which time, the motor and video shut off. These are some well built RC Helicopters.Best wishes!Adam

Sorry,but you need a mount of some kind. If you're at all handy,you can make one. I made them for my kayaks but they all mountbehind the cockpits. Blow up a pic of one and copy it. .....Bill

Thanks, all! Going to order them but I am debating whether I can self-install or take to my dealer. :)

we actually had a little trouble ourselves. we kind of had to rig it up a little bit on our 1300 vtx. the best place to look for mounting instructions is honestly youtube

I bought material for my first build from hobbyking.com, but there are others as well. I'd google "quadcopter first build" or similar and follow tutorials to get started, as there are a few hangups that can be tricky to figure out the first time through.

Almost positive the charger that comes with the syma is a "dumb charger" and has no way of knowing whether the battery is full. The battery that comes with the syma has its own, built in Overcharge circuitry(OCP), so it is okay to use with a dumb charger. Pretty positive these batteries do not have their own OCP protection, so I would say you should not charge these with the syma x1 charger. Someone please correct me if this is not true.

I believe those use a micro USB cable. Our fpv kit uses mini, so it probably wont work.

Here is the URL for a video on changing rotor blades on a Syma X1. It is likely the same on an X3.http://www.stafaband.info/watch/BbQMoOsym6w/installing_gws_5443_propellers_on_a_syma_x1/
