Hi folks I have just bought an mjx b4w drone. The double charger is great but it came with only one charging cable. I have searched high and low to buy a couple more but have had no joy in finding a seller. If anyone can advise me who sells them or what is a comparable one and where it’s sold I...

Hi adyscoot, thanks for your comment. I did email Syma and ask if their lock catches were compatible with the X183 but had an email back stating that the did not fit X183. I have noticed as you point out that there products seem generic so for the sake of a few dollars I have ordered some...

Hi Trevcharl. Thank you for your advice. As you know I am an ignorant newbie to the hobby of drones. I joined this forum to seek advice on what I thought was a simple matter. To locate and fit a replacement lock catch to secure a propeller to the rotor on my global drone X183. I thought that my...

Cheers Para9111 I know I will enjoy it my friend. In time, preferably in about twelve months, I would love to build a drone myself. Not to create one I'm not that intelligent but to build one from kit form or build by numbers. I've already learned not to buy the first one that comes along...

Hi Para9111 I will look into your suggestion thanks. All I want to do at this stage is to experience flying a drone. I can't take a photograph with the good quality canon that I own never mind whilst flying a drone. I think I need one key take off and land and return to home and height hold. All...

Hi para9111 Ouch but every word is true and I have learned a harsh lesson. I've had similar responses all agreeing with your comments. I'm not going to buy one for spares but will just let it collect dust. If someone has the part that's ok but equally if anyone needs a part then that's ok too...

Hi Drone admin. Yes it is direct from China and I have been trying to get a single sensible answer with no joy for weeks. On the bright side my Chinese is coming on a treat. I have the Ali express App and made the mistake of asking for any sellers of the lock catches or an alternative to fix the...

Hello everybody I hope that you are all fit and well. My name is John Hall a new member living in sunny Brisbane, Australia. To say that I am a newbie in the exciting world of drones is an exaggeration. I have dipped my toes and purchased my first drone which is a Global Drone X183. I’m afraid...
