They are not really comparable, because X100 is half the size, but i do it anyway. Main technical difference is the accelerometers on the X100. X100: Minus. Bad battery holder, one have to use tape if the battery should stay in place when crashing. The same apply to the V929. Short flying time, 8 minutes. V929 flies for 14 minutes. X 100: Plus Flying when windy (not hurricane), incredible stable and fun. If one do the proper stick work, it newer crash because of wind. Its nice to see X100 wobble and then regain stability in a part of a second. X100 is better than the V929, but the V929 is also very enjoyable to fly fly in wind. Flying indoor or when calm outside, X 100 is better because its more predictable and precise in maneuvers and of course smaller. Crash resistance, after some bad high velocity crashes i have to straighten props, lose props from motor axle (binding with motor house) and have scratches on the canopy top. The V929 need new props when broken. Transmitter, in my opinion the MJX transmitter have better stick feeling compared to the VL-toys transmitters. I think the MJX transmitter is really good. And it use only 3 AA-cells, that's development. Despite the tiny size X100 can carry a tiny camera, successfully tried with 15gram payload. Conclusion: I Love my X100 and its a fantastic bird, and also unbelievable cheap. It fits well in my fleet of toy grade flying things, V911, V929, X100. I also have ordered the VL-toys V939, should arrive any day. I flew some minutes with the Walkera Lady bird and i think its alike. |

Wow, the price for the x100 raised up to US$43.59 :-(
http://www.banggood.com/Wholesale-Mj...o-p-48726.html Wasn't it about $38 the last days ? It's BGMSE banggood multicopter stock exchange I'm not sure if i like their pricing policy |

Anyways, a second is a long time, but while not so pretty, height can compensate for that: from level flight, a quad (or other object) suddenly starting to go into free fall will lose about 16 ft (5m) in the first second. I lose about that height and more when I am not doing so well on a flip (I tend to start a flip from 30+ feet up). |

What a joke! No mention of Tx or Rx? What does it bind to? |

Regarding the X100 vs the 6043, well, I haven't tried the X100 so I can't be certain, however, it strikes me that the X100 is built like the V977. It has larger booms and LEDs on it, as well as an ACC. If that is the case, it's definitely more durable than the 6043, but it's also a bit heavier so perhaps a bit slower. Just my guess... I can't say for sure because, like I said, I have not tried the X100. I do like the UFO look it has, though. It's one of the best looking micro quads out there, according to my very own subjectivity.

Hi S,
Interesting that the x100 will flip with a button and with the sticks. Perhaps it is manual flips capable. I would define manual flip as having full control of the quad throughout the flip process. This means being able to do a half flip for example and watch the quad drop while inverted. This is something that cannot be done with the V929, the SH6043 or the V977, for example. It's full flip or no flip at all. With auto flip, once the flip is initiated, it cannot be stopped, slowed down or accelerated. Auto flips means it flips automatically and always at the same rate. With manual flips, you can do quick flips on a dime or very slow flips that resemble large loops. And again, at anytime during the flip you can stop the rotation and even reverse it to create a tic-toc motion. And also, manual flips means being able to pull multiple flips back to back and double, triple, quadruple flips without delays or interruptions. Auto flips have a delay programmed so you can't pull multiple flips or back to back flips with them. And easy way to tell if the X100 has manual flips would be to get plenty of altitude and try a double flip. Or do half a flip above a bed mattress or tall grass and see if it will land/crash inverted or if it will force itself to do a full flip. I will post a video in a bit to demonstrate tic tocs with my X250. It's a good example of manual 3D capabilities. Anyways... If the X100 can do manual 3D, I wonder how fast it can flip (rate/stick scaling) using only the sticks to command 3D moves. I kind of want to try one now.... Best, Chris |

Also, to save having two posts, on the inverted props and braking propeller discussion, see these videos: Variable pitch and inverted flight:
Earlier version of development of same:
Recovering from a broken prop in midflight:
This is powering all 4 props off of one motor Scroll forward a bit and the English text explains it all. :
