Falcon 220 from Reptile



This quad I get it from RC Offical Store from online shopee store. The price at the time I got it is about RM560 a PNP unit without the receiver.

The Quad supports 30 x 30 stack, the arm thickness is 5 mm width 9 mm, the height of stack is approximately 27 mm. Bottom plate is 28 mm, top plate 22 mm.

The Camera is unbranded, but from my testing you can fly with it, however the FOV is not that great, The tilt angle of the camera is also too low (<10 already="" camera="" casing="" degree="" due="" of="" p="" plate="" quad.="" the="" to="" top="" touched="">

I have upgraded the VTx antenna, and change the capacitor as the original that it came got damage in a crash during a dive test yesterday. I would not blame the quad for the crash because I actually got rx loss message which it crashes

You will get the drone in abox with 2 sets of DALprop 5046C which one set in black and purple. In the picture below, I mixed both set of propeller, It just my preference, a purple propeller in the front will somewhat distract your vision as it is shining and the color contrasting with your background. I do have a propeller in transparent black which is less distracting, and may be more suitable if you're flying Bando.


The VTX uses mmcx connecter which is a good and strong connector, I changed the VTX antenna from the provided normal diapole antenna roughly 30 cm long to foxeer as the photo above. I did fly with the provided antenna and I do not have any issue with it, although my flight distance is only between 100-300 meters away only.

The VTX came from the factory locked but you can unlocked it by pressing and hold button C while powering on the quad for 20 secs or more. It will show a U and a dot, of which the U stands for Unlocked and the dot is the orientation where how you should read the digital LED.



The motor has no name on it, but it is a 2205 size and 2300kv, the motor is very light and made of aluminium. The motor shaft is not hollow, but trust me, this motor is very light.

The Quad foot is also I added on my own, reinforced with electrical tape for more robust, it is not required actually if you running the battery bottom as what the manufacturer design this quad for.
