Hi! I have had three Syma X5C's. One is different from the others and I'd like to figure out which is the 'upgraded' version, plus maybe you can help me with an issue. Here goes, thank you:
Symas #1 and #2: Matte finished/brushed body, more flexible plastic. White. Markings love to rub off. No legs at ends of arms, gears are covered by a grill. 4 vent holes along the arms.
Syma #3: Shiny, rigid plastic body. White. Has extensions under each propeller, sort of rigid legs. Gears are exposed directly beneath. 3 vent holes along the arms.
The dilemma: I owned Syma #1. Loved it, lost it. Still had controller and transmitter, so I ordered a replacement Syma and ended up getting Syma #3. It will not work with the Syma #1 (or #2) transmitter. I happened to buy Syma #2 for a friend and that works great with the transmitter. So the issue is- which of these stinkin things is truly the upgraded Syma I've heard about, and, if you loved the Syma X5C, what do you recommend since i have a controller, batteries, etc.? Lots of sites say 'upgraded version' and I'm not sure who to believe. Questions welcome.
Thank you for your help, great forum.
