Great vid, really appreciate the mod list! I could be wrong but I thought the fins on the aftermarket main gear were to introduce a litte air flow under the canopy to help with keeping the main motor a little cooler for the extended flights with the higher Mah batteries, either way, it was great to see the parts, part numbers as well as the explanations on them. Killer job!
Very helpful tips! Waiting on mine to ship in. I will definitely get the swash plate and main gear once I've had a little practice. I've heard I might need a spare tail motor as well.
Thanks mate I will try all these mods. A list for other readers: xtreme landing skid nut (4.5 x 1.5 x 5 mm) EA-056-W xtreme delrin main gear (solo pro) XNE010 xtreme metal swash guide (solo pro) XNE003 xtreme metal mixer arms (solo pro) XNE011 -- optional xtreme main shaft metal collar (solo pro) XNE004 xtreme metal swash plate (solo pro) XNE002 xtreme carbon fibre flybar-balance bar XNE006 nine eagles rubber fixed set NE4260020 Next step is to find a stockist in New Zealand !!
yeah there are loads of these around, and clones popping up everywhere IMHO the H911 is the best looking and I prefer it for the fun factor (hard to get outside the USA) The latest version is V911 PRO -- more robust frame, slightly longer tail, same mechanical parts as earlier V911
Wow! Fantastic video and thanks for all the details that most others don't take the time to document. I'll be trying most of your modifications and let you know how it goes for me.
Just ordered my v911 and hope to upgrade like you did! Amazing video and loved the way you shared the part numbers. Please make a video if you can on how to install the upgrades. That would rock!
Very impressed so far with my purchase of the V911. I can't believe how small they can make these things! I notice that only one screw is used for each of the parts on the main shaft. I'm certain that upgrading these parts and adding the additional screws on the opposite side will greatly improve flight, since my assumption is that every milligram counts with a size like this. May I ask how a fish eye in the swash plate would improve flight? Just curious.
Nice video. The best video on youtube explaining the upgrades you can do. I have found the stock v911 to fly like a drunk humming bird so I'm going to try these mods. Do you have a video of this modded v911 flying in action?
Thank you for this video, but please! Put the list of the parts you got there in the description. Im waiting for my v911 heli and i can't wait to upgrade it, maybe i will buy the upgrades before the helicopter :) Thank you again for this video, and keep them coming!
My wife bought me a "toy" heli this past Christmas. I had so much fun with the thing that I now officially have a new hobby. In less than one month I've purchased 5 more helicopters including the Hero H911. What a great flying little chopper! I plan on doing the mods from your video 'cause I like to tinker with stuff. My last hobby was building a Sonex (real airplane) in my garage.
I just broke my Propel Speed Star, and ordered a new V911 Pro. I got the fish eye swash plate, and carbon main shaft. Also ordered the paddle flybar. I'm excited to try it out.
Actually I think the "single best upgrade" was getting some 200 MAH batteries. They make this a sweet bird and gives her a lot more agility and flight time. Search banggood for "v911 200"
hi Luckyman7382, good video ;) I too am gonna try this mod, i've found where to buy all the parts from no probs. but when i try to buy the heli (with controller) ....... there are soooooooo many different types of the v911????? which one should i get?? (i want the best one but that will fit all the parts in ur vid.) ??
excellent video mate, will definitely get those upgrades but will they fit mjx f47? and the plastic is spelt wrong on those packs, its Derlin plastic AKA acetal.
Thanks for the info, but...... DAMN!!! i just ordered the basic v911 (with new type batt.) last night!! i was choosing between the 1 i bought and the pro aswell !! typical lol !! thanks again anyway :)
From MY experience with the V-911 and V-911 PRO not so great in wind above 3 mph does that make them bad not at all the V-912 and V-913 are better suited for wind then again 3 mph or less anything greater I would not fly outside. They are Great R/C Copters for what they are and cost.
www.buzzflyer.co.uk/Nine-Eagles-Upgrades/Solo-Pro-Bravo-SX-Metal-Swash-Plate-XNE002/p-158-1823/ but this option is available now, don't think it was when he posted this video. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D6BOYAM/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ARMKB9DGMAOM2 I have the one off amazon.
The metal swash plate is a little less than 1 gram more than the plastic one and the metal rotor head actually weighs less than the plastic one making up a little of the difference, but a full alloy upgrade adds close to a gram, shit all !!! The full metal swash plate is fine.
Is Hero H911 pretty much a best flying heli out there, of this size? I have a Syma F3. It has extremely quite gear mesh. It's pinion gear is plastic. I noticed these have brass pinions. Thanks for sharing.
I found a shop that has the swashplates, but weight stated for it is 10 grams. Sounds kinda a lot. I haven't weighed the original, but doubt it's nowhere near that much.
hi my friend what should i spend all money for that the v911 bnf just $15 note also i fount when u charger the battery v911 it show you full when i tested to another charger it give me another 10 minute charging full lol means the cahrger of v911 dont charge full thanks
p.s in response to ben chya's comment................. i live in uk and the v911 will cost me around $42 which is around £30, then around another £30 for the upgrades........ once done my heli will be around the same specs as the upgraded solo pro........ the upgraded solo pro will cost me around £270, where as the v911 with this mod will cost around £60.......... BARGAIN!!!

Im your 100th subscriber ...yay me... and congrats to you dude
From what i've read the canopy will definitely fit!!
My question is will the v911 upgrade kit fit on my h911??
O well, u can still get the V911 PRO BNF as a backup copter, about $20 from banggood :)
(BNF means bind'n'fly, no transmitter)
Thanks for the info, but...... DAMN!!! i just ordered the basic v911 (with new type batt.) last night!! i was choosing between the 1 i bought and the pro aswell !! typical lol !! thanks again anyway :)
cool stuff nice upgrades
How much did you spend on the aftermarket parts in total?
Great video!, I have a Syma Extreme Stunt, do you think these upgrades will work on it?
seen as you have both,can the h911 canopy fit the v911
would look sharp
how do you change the tail fin?
Hi, is there really a big difference to that 9 $ Alu-Kit? because all that solo pro upgrades are about 35 dollars..
I think you omitted the part number of the Carbon Fibre main Shaft. Could you give it please?
Great video by the way!
Where can I find the screw for the fly bar or balance bar, mine came out and I cannot find it
Which V911 is the fastest? What is the difference between the WL V911 version 2 & The helizone lightingbird? Please advise. Thank you in advance
I'm thinking about buying a v911 is this a good idea?
Am i missing the flight video? (Totally possible/probable)

Would the v911 do okay outdoors with a liitle wind? please reply...
It will do ok in a little wind < 5mph
From MY experience with the V-911 and V-911 PRO not so great in wind above 3 mph does that make them bad not at all the V-912 and V-913 are better suited for wind then again 3 mph or less anything greater I would not fly outside. They are Great R/C Copters for what they are and cost.
