Estes Proto X EP 2.4GHz RTF

Published on Nov 22, 2013

Meet the Proto X from Estes, the brand you know and trust. Not only is the Proto X the world's smallest quadcopter, it's also one of the world's lightest! The 1.8" x 1.8" Proto X is tiny, ideal for indoor flying -- and it weighs only four-tenths of an ounce. Bright, built-in LEDs make it easy to see the Proto X in low-light conditions. A 2.4GHz radio not only allows for interference-free flight -- it makes it easy for multiple Proto X helis to fly at once. A 3.7V 100mAh LiPo battery, USB charge cord and spare rotor blades are also included in the ready-to-fly package. All you need to add are two "AAA" batteries!

Is the Estes Proto X ultra Micro Quad worth it? See my 3 mods and judge for yourself.

Published on Dec 17, 2013

From Tower Hobbies, the Proto X body is just bigger than a Postage stamp and at only $39, you might want to see my 3 Mods before buying one. Tiny is good, but this Proto X is ridiculous and sick!
It is the smallest production Quad I have seen yet. Lets take a look at it and see if it is big enough to go goldfish fishing with.
My pros and cons are at the end of the video so enjoy the fun. I've been told I should buy a different Transmitter for it. I'm cheap over here. When I buy something complete, I should not have to go buy anything else, you know! But, I am curious, so I just ordered the Hubsan TX to see what all the buzz is about.

Will the Hubsan X4 TX really work on the ESTES Proto X Micro Quad?

Published on Dec 27, 2013

When I made the video of my mods on the Estes Proto X, I complained about the small TX. Many of you suggested I get the Hubsan X4 since the TX allowed flips, had rudder trims, and was in a bigger more ergonomic package. So I went ahead and bought the X4 from http://www.thinkrc.com and tried to use the TX on the Proto X.. Here are the results.

Even when you can’t fly outdoors, you can still have a blast indoors with the Proto-N. With a diagonal of just 31 millimeters, it’s officially the Smallest Drone in the World and ideal for flying in any room of the house. Its advanced 3+3 stabilization system holds it stable and motionless when you want to hover. The Proto-N includes a compact transmitter that puts all of its performance at your fingertips. Want to look like a pro? Then push the Auto-Flip button and watch the Proto-N performs pro-quality flips and barrel rolls on command. You can also tailor Proto-N performance to your preference, by adjusting the trims and by choosing the flight mode that suits you best: beginner, intermediate or pro. Since it’s assembled, you can start flying the Proto-N as soon as you charge the flight pack. You can fly for up to 4 minutes on a fully charged pack and recharge for another flight with the included USB charger. Bright LEDs help you track the Proto-N’s flight with ease even in the darkest room of the house.
