I want to purchase the RB-lyn-706 Lynxmotion Hunter V-tail 400 drone for my grandson. What else do I need for him to be able to fly this after he builds it? It says I need a battery and a 5 channel (or more) remote control. Is this a specific battery and does the battery need a charger or do they come together? And is the 5 channel remote control the transmitter and receiver you use to fly it??? Is this something I can pick up at any hobby shop or does it have to be specificially for the V-tail 400??? I want to have everything he needs when I give it to him.
Hi clik3bg,
Welcome to the RobotShop / Lynxmotion forum.
First, we want to warn you that the VTail is not a toy and it need practice to get it fly.
To get it flying, you indeed need batteries, transmitter and the matching charger.
Here is a list of suggested parts:
Lynxmotion 11.1V 2800mAh 3S 30C LiPo Battery
18W LiPo Battery Charger
Eclipse 7 Pro 7 Channel 2.4GHz Digital Radio (Including Transmitter, Receiver and rechargeable batteries / charger)
You can get similar parts from a local Hobby Store without any problems.
Make sure the Transmitter/Receiver can handle “End Points” adjustment as you will need that for the flight controller setup.
People at Hobby Store can sure help you get similar items locally.
A charging bag is a must when playing with LiPo batteries, and a Voltage monitor / alarm too.
Battery LiPo Safe Charging / Storage Bag
Voltage Monitor / Alarm
We hope that help,
