About

l6052 11This is review of  "L6052" by "Lishitoys" which i got from GearBest.com . This model caught my attention because the airframe design is similar to Traxxas Alias and priced at far affordable than its competitor at only USD35 (February 2015).  It has sleek looking frame design, durable rotor arm, elegant, lolipop like LED illuminous lights and the rotor gear cleverly redesigned to be allocated at l6052 29the neck of the rotor instead of below the cage where its prone to damage in WL-Toys V929 type frame.  Its clean sleek design prompted me to get my hands on these plus my previous essential parts from my old V929 multi-rotor can be used on L6052 such as 1s 500mah~650mah can be easily fit in without any modification. The gaming controller  looks ergonomic without fancy physical gimmick.

I'm very happy with L6052 because its small enough to carry, light enough not to cause any injury or damages around me, can use compatible alternative parts in the online market and most importantly to be honest it doesn't  look as ugly like other quad in the market because the design looks very professional in build.  It has huge ground clearance in the middle of the frame for me to retro fit future DIY FPV gear which i'm going to install in the near future (probably few month later after i recover my budget).

Pros:

  • Beautiful  and smooth designed airframe. Caged frame case looks good without the shell.

  • Robust and durable rotor arm.  Fully encased rotor gear spur.

  • Candy luminous LED lighting effect for better visual aid at night.

  • 6-axis gyro allow better control and stability.  Flip function works extremely well. Can handle windy condition when "High rate" mode is switched on  the controller "H" button.

  • Ergonomic gaming like controller, proportional and straight forward flying control.  Doesn't feel cheap and handles well

  • Able to use standard popular size 1s 500~650mah lipo battery from WL-Toys V929/949 and etc.

  • Propeller guard lightweight and durable enough to handle crashes and protect he propeller.

Cons:

  • Bushing (no ball bearings for rotor mechanism unlike V929 model)

  • Gear binding. Requires several hours of run-in through casual flying and rotor spins to loosen up the binding.



Line Of Sight flight handling

l6052 33I must say i'm very impressed with the flight handling of L6052 despite it cost only USD$35 and had an impressive quality and material build.  On my first maiden flight it just hover steady upright without needing any major trimming or fighting over the control.  It just hover up and waiting for your input. 

The next day i flew outdoor in the morning around 10.00am where wind pickup its speed (because i live near the beach).  I expect it behave like V929 or atleast like my expensive Q450 or FPV250 multi-rotor however  L6025 took off and stabilized amazingly well despite heavy wind pouring in.  On windy condition i press "H" button to enable High Rate mode so i could have more pitch and roll handling to counter the wind.  It flew smoothly.  The acrobatic mode was also impressive especially under heavy wind.  There are two flip button on the shoulder of the controller above the thumb/joy stick.  Click/hold and move the thumb/joystick direction where you wanted to flip and it will raise a bit and flipped 360 acrobatically. 

When the red LED at the back of the quad is blinking it means that the battery is already at low voltage and you must land immediately.  Once it hit low voltage you will not able to do some aerobatics flips as safety precaution.

Skills requirement

l6052 31Frankly speaking this is build for both beginner and intermediate pilot.   Very docile and tame enough to control for those who just join into R/C flying and also good enough for any intermediate to expert pilot who like to bash around the park.  The size is ideal to handle much wind and can tolerate any crashed or any error commit by beginners.  All i can say its hard to make any mistake in flight or cause any serious damage because L6052 is self stabilized and always get back into flying after numerous crashes (If you had already installed the prop guards before flying). Any small side drift can be compensated via controller trimming button.  The plastic material is very robust and boingy enough to accept general flying impact.  The electronics inside the quadcopter are fully protected and could tolerate any crash shocks externally.  I been bashing whole day outside the park and still able to flew next day without any faulty on the electronic or physically deformed.  Just remember to attached the supplied propeller guards before doing some clumsy bashing.  Another plus is its luminous LED light allow better viewing of your flight orientation during dusk, dawn, indoor our outdoor at night, excellent LED brightness not only help to see where you are going but also attract more people to watch you fly.

Troubleshooting and FAQ

Here are common things you need to know else if you do encounter problem with L6025.

 

 

Summary

l6052 35If you're looking a multi-rotor/quadcopter for your first flight models, looks good at night or bash durable without tearing hole in your pocket the "Lishitoys L6025" is for you.  I've run some test and did compare with other multi-rotor/quadcopter that i own in my hangar no doubt the "L6025"  last longer in term of durability and usability because of flexible durable plastic material built. Most of commercial spare parts and compatibility are high on the list so you won't have problem searching for compatible spares with minor DIY mods.  Good news for me that 50% of my surplus WL-TOYS V929 can easily fit into L6052 such as lipo battery, Flight controller boards and some of those FPV electronics.    The quad itself is doesn't looks as offensive as V929 or DJI Phantom in the public, with prop guard installed and candy like LED light illumil6052 1nation it sure could attract some crowds and safe enough to play both outdoor and indoor. For me it looks beautiful and good...it reminds me of CASIO G-SHOCK watch.."durable, looks good and bunch of useful fun feature"... so its going to be my queen park flyer.   

Some where in the future or probbably within 3 to 5 months later i'm planing to convert this L6052 into FPV (First Person View) drone for flying both indoor and outdoor park size environment because the certain attributes of L6052 which make it ideal for FPV platform for having durable plastic airframe, attractive looking lights, safe prop guards and huge amount of spacing under the frame to place my FPV hardware.  L6052 should rival to my old V929/949 type platform.  As you expected the review for L6052 doesn't end here,  next review in FPV modification form will be available this year with exciting flights and video. I'm waiting for my budget to recover back to acquire some FPV hardware to make L6052 FPV possible.  Finally thanks to GearBest.com for their sponsorship and support. So stay tune for next exciting updates.
