Question on Walkera App Support

For those of you with a Voyager 4, I'm considering the purchase, but have been told that I should avoid the V4 because the phone/tablet app is not being updated. For me, as long as it doesn't crash and has no major bugs, I don't really need an update. For those of you who own this quad, have you noticed any kind of need for Walkera to update or upgrade the phone/tablet app, or is it just fine and functions as it is?

Any other input for my decision?

Thanks!

 

Hi all

New user here. I have a Voyager 4 that is in mint condition that I got 2nd hand. I know this is an old thread but you were wise to avoid this model..the "Flying Telescope". My experience flying this beast has been great. Very stable, and with the multiple flight modes, very versatile. It has good range but I have not tried the 4G..and probably wont.

However, you will be hard pressed to find parts..even now. The app support is pretty much non existent with the only copy I have being on an Ipad mini thats paired with the controller. I have multiple Android apk's for the Voyager but have yet to try them out in flight. Besides the quick start documentation, there is nothing...at least compared to other high end gear like Yuneec etc.

I see a USB port on the F8W controller but an mot familiar with the tools to poke around...is there any safe way to explore this controller? From where I sit, if the controller craps out im left with a 3250g paper weight.

Any assistance or suggestions from anyone here would be greatly appreciated

Thanks
Bill

 

Thanks very much for your level headed response. Without taking too much of anyone's time is there a possibility of using a different xmitter/controller with this gear?

Thanks again
