Still waiting mine to arrived, can't wait to try it out since i need something portable to travel with me.

Here is my review on this drone (in spanish, flit the flight scenes are by the middle of the vid).

I have found none of the problems some of you did before... can it be because of a Beta batch? Only problem: it is over 250gr for 4gr... please JJRC!!!!

Shouldn't have problem because the second batch V2 boards is very improved. Got 21 satelite locks and the RTH + mission waypoint was spot on. Love it. Mine arrived last week.

Nope, super solid flight with slightly windy weather.

Oh btw its highly recommended to open the body cover as reported by other owner both C-FLY type and JJRC X9. Some connector definitely come loose or mis-aligned a bit from the factory. Mine got two connector not secured well.

Thanks for the tip will do

I also got over 20 sats without problem. Probable the second batch has been improved!

Can someone having the second batch X9 post a screenshot from the Enjoy-Fly app showing the full firmware version (i.e with the controller connected so that also the relay firmware version is shown)?

Thank you very much in advance.

hello, now it is more than two months that careful some good friend that places the original firmware v3.9, jjrc has never answered to me the various mails. Perhaps the only thing left for me to do is buy a new motherboard. Do you have any ideas?

Unfortunately no.
I do not know where one could buy a new motherboard for the X9.

I even got no answer from other people posting here regarding the v2 units - I've asked which firmware version they run - and got no answer.
Even for something simple like this - what firmware version the v2 units are running - there is no information.

I do not plan to bother with the X9 anymore, it is a failed product with no support from the manufacturer or the community.
