A few months ago I picked up a couple of the Volantex Xpilot from Banggood with the intention of using them in my now defunct Micro Skyhunter. The units took about a month to arrive and as a result the Xpilot never got to meet the little foam Skyhunter.
Yesterday, I attempted to configure one of the units for the Volantex Ranger 1600 but the unit doesn't handle the rudder correctly. When you let go of the stick the rudder stays in almost the same position and doesn't return to center unless you give the control opposite stick input. ArxangelRC doesn't run into that issue in his video as the Micro Skyhunter uses only ailerons and elevator for control surfaces.
Dealing with Banggood customer service is less fun than a root canal so I suppose the Xpilots are mine to keep. Fortunately I'm working on a Ready Made RC Nano Skyhunter build and the Xpilot will do just fine there.
