Beautiful tail wag on this one! 😍
The goo sky S1 blows this helicopter out of the water for the same price, crappy frames and linear servos like the 180 infusion. S1 has carbon fiber frames, aluminum head, incredible tail performance and durable. Good luck horizon with this one
We have some very helpful and friendly instructors for planes at our club, but the heli pilot I asked for help in learning to fly helis better just said to learn by flying. He even made some disparaging comments about using a simulator. Not all of us want to spend lots of time and money repairing a heli multiple times during that learning curve.
As far as setting up the AS3X and SAFE on the new BNF, might check for a tutorial here on TH-cam. That's what I needed to do in learning all the nuances of setting up a stock receiver on a PNP airplane.
Helicopters certainly are a multi directional challenge. Your channel is as near to perfect channel as you can get. Because you tell & show the product as is. No cover up on flaws to appease the manufacturer. You give viewers the facts. Many channels don't. So stay true to course Saylor's oh my Saylor's. 👍😊👍. ⚓️⚓️👍💚🧡💛👍😊👍⚓️⚓️.
Love you guys! I have been away for a while and sooooo missed your amazing videos. Thanks for another great one! I hope you, Abby and the family are all doing well.❤
I have to disagree with your comment on the better flyers not wanting to help.
Been into rc helis for about 2 decades and have been in positions to offer some guidance for beginners.
What I have observed happening more and more over the years is that beginners are not very receptive to suggestions and advice. I see beginners challenging the more experienced flyers on their approach with what they have seen on youtube/read on the web, etc. Sometimes, the 'teachings' they get from the web comes from flyers who may not have much experience either. Other times, they are taking instructions on how to run before they can even crawl.
Eventually these wears out the willingness to help.
I believe MOST experienced flyers are always ok to provide assistance to those who are willing to listen.
Good job R.C. Saylors and family!!!
Hello there Nate and Abby I hope I spelled you guys name right.Nate was discussing on this video about how to program a bind and fly RC Helicopter on this video. That he couldn't find no resources. I got the TH-cam channel for you. BrianPhillipsRC. He show you everything. Don't miss out on this blessing. Good bless you guys and your children. I been watching you guys since 2015.✌️❤️🙏
Got one of these after being out of helicopters for 12+years. I flew it and thought it flew "ok". Definitely better than micro stuff from a decade ago. Then I got a Goosky S1.........world of difference. The S1 is cheaper and flys 2x better. I dont even fly the Infusion anymore.
Great video guys.. I ended up buying another eachine e120s because I have broke so many parts so I thought I should get a spare 😂
I liked this video, good and honest.
I'm always amazed at how well Abby keeps the helicopter in frame of course I watch these videos at 2x speed so... Lol
I’m late today but love seeing helicopters 🚁 again 😊😊😊😊⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️
It was an early post. We didn’t have much of a choice on this one, lol! Just glad you tuned in! 👍💯⚓️
Nate, you did fine. I started out with the Blade 230 S RTF and used safe. Then when I got comfortable with that I moved to an OMPHOBBY M1 RTF version using 6G mode. 6G is the equivalent to SAFE used by other companies. GOOSKY sells S1 (smaller) and S2 (larger) with 6G modes RTF. I love these. I almost never went back to Blade after these. Better constructed.
You got burned with a miss-wired Flywing fw450 Huey. I fly that now.
Don't get discouraged. 6G Blade leveling mode in RTF is the way to go.
That’s a nice rc helicopter looking
Abby and Nate, y'all rock! Love the channel and content. Peace
I've been a big fan of your channel for a long time. Don't give up on helis. A 6G RTF is the way to go.
I will absolutely do a follow up on this. Reaching out to a friend that knows a little more about helis than me. Will have a follow up! 👍💯😎⚓️
Hmmm... I don't see the advantage of this model when you can get the Eachine 120 for less than half the price... and comes WITH the radio and 2 batteries and is SCALE! ;-)
Can you tell me wahy this one is better?
I got into helicopters for a little while and can attest to the fact there is a huge learning curve. It's very challenging at first and at times quite frustrating but once you get it down, man they're a blast to fly. Now I fly mostly UMX planes because they are so much fun.
Looks like a fun little flyer, I was never able to make it past co-axial helicopters back when I tried to fly them. Even for admitting you weren’t super familiar with this model you still flew it way better than I ever could 🤣🤣 keep sailing y’all and ignore these stupid comments
I guess because this is a more advanced model you are expected to understand programming/binding. For me I don’t want the to fuss with set up. I agree they missed the mark at only offering it in bind and fly. For a few more bucks a RTF version should be offered. The next less expensive Blade model down is offered in RTF. Thanks for doing what you tow do.
Love how you gave it a shot nate and tell it how it is other reviewers would have a beginner get this lol this should've definitely been a rtf
I hear you on the Bind & Setup for a heli. 2-years ago I did the Blade 230S and it was a challenge. I spent quite a bit time viewing TH-cam videos and finding ways to verify SAFE in the ground. Ultimately, I was successful and have flown it on & off...mainly in SAFE. Fortunately, I know my limits, and this will be the only heli that I'll probably own.
I agree on your comments about people bot helping, I belong to a club, 100 members, 99% planes only, helicopter have to fly off the main field, unless no one is there.
I think they let us join just for the fee!
You did fine. You didnt crash. Like you said more practice. How can we learn if we dont try different things. Keep on truckin.
Thank you! Honestly, your comment hit hard and I really appreciate the encouragement! 👍🙏💯⚓️
Hi guys, Flying a rc helicopter is quite a big deal, had challenges flying mine ,so happy it didn't end up like the last ones 😂, nice job 👍
Great video although, I disagree pretty strongly with your comments on the 3D helicopter community being gate-kept. I've recently started trying to learn 3D and have found tons of videos on how to do specific maneuvers and have found more than one entire video series on training programs to use when learning how to fly collective pitch/3D. Admittedly, the videos can be difficult to find as they are not always labeled what you would think that they should be but there is TONS of material out there on it. Also, I've yet to have anyone in person at my local flying field be anything other than super excited that I wanted to learn. Sorry to say but that is flat misinformation.
It is hard, there are plenty of resources to learn if you truly want to or look at all.
I’m really glad to hear that, honestly! Maybe it’s just the people that I’ve been around that have made me feel that way. Often times, people can really be encouraging or just the opposite and drastically affect our experiences in life and in this hobby! Stay with that group that you’re a part of, as they sound like great people! Happy Flying! 👍😎💯⚓️
Greetings from NE Amish country Ohio ❤️ warm weather is coming soon and I have a lot of new planes to fly :)
It's a great video Nate in fact I love all your vids I mean you can fly anything and with the best camara person how can they not be!!!
Hi Abby.
Ralphie
I agree with you about having a pre-bound heli being helpful. I struggle to figure out the switches and everything when I do BNF....
Glad I’m not alone!! I feel like there could be an easier way, which would definitely help more people get into the hobby. This is a cool helicopter with a steep-ish learning curve for beginners. I’m sure all the pros would laugh at that statement, but that’s why they are the pros I guess. Happy Flying!! 👍💯😎⚓️
I know exactly what you’re saying. I’m not bad at finding helicopters to my radio now, but I didn’t have a clue when I first started I almost got out of the hobby because of it but I stayed with it took my time and read a lot and soon started to learn how to buy things, don’t get me wrong. I still have a lot to learn but I’m pretty good with the XK Models all collective pitches pretty good with now and just about ready to take my 600 Nitro out for a hover this spring but yes, it takes a lot of concentration., focus,and nerves. I’m not into all of the upside down flying just like to do a few tricks, and mostly cruise around with a helicopter. Thank you so much for being honest about being uncomfortable in flying helicopters I feel the same way at times.
Your comment really means a lot to me, to know that I’m not the only one that’s ever felt this way. I hope that someone watching, and probably didn’t or maybe won’t ever comment, can also relate so they know they aren’t alone. I’m actually more motivated now than before this flight and video. Considering buying something a little bigger to practice more on? 👍💯⚓️
This heli does have SAFE and you should have set up a F-Mode switch for that when you set it up. I disagree with your love for RTF helicopters. It took time to learn to set up the transmitter, but you have much more control not using the RTF. Plus you can add expo, adjust dual rates that you can't with RTF.
I hear ya. You’re right. I need to push myself to learn more about helicopters! I just think they could have fairly easily offered this as a RTF option as well as this BNF. 👍💯😎⚓️
How do you set expo and dual rates when you don't what expo and dual rates are or do ?
@@christopherbrown1618 that's what the manual is for. they list suggested settings for all of that. If you don't know what they do or are used for, this probably isn't the starter helicopter for you.
I love The Mini little Indoor heli.... So Much fun i got good at those. hehehehe
Wish I had an indoor space to fly this! That would be so awesome! 👍💯😎⚓️
Nice looking little heli,I think that is the same connector that is on the blade bl2.
Yes I think so too 😁😁
I'm proud to say I'm afraid of RC helicopters!! I've ridden in a couple of different heli's and it was a BLAST!! THIS guy seems to have some issues, but I know nothing!! NICE maiden, Nate!! Thanks Saylors for your honest opinion!! 💟👍😎 Btw... That battery will fit in WLTOYS 20409, if you still have that little monster truck! 😘
At 0:36 - Anyone else reminded of the helicopter crash scene from John Wayne's The Green Berets? It even caught fire after crashing. Awesome!
I bought my first helicopter for $30. flew it all over inside my house, perfectly controllable, never flown one before. Took it outside and it just blew away, they don't like wind plus I think you have PTSD from the previous ones. LOL
For those who refuse to fly anything but RTF, why are you even in the hobby?
This hobby requires a fair amoint of mechanical and electrical knowledge, and the ability to figure things out. Our society has become so lazy...has to be instant gratification and no work for everything. I bet those who are saying RTF ONLY have never built a balsa kit, covered it. Set it up for flight, and then fly. Work yes...but immense gratification.
Ouch! This is a pretty nasty, and extreme comment. There are a LOT of casual flyers too out there. Maybe time is more important for people, and they just want to fly! I don’t think anyone is being lazy, or shooting for instant gratification here. But we do live in a very different world than what existed 20 years ago, and that alone will change people in general. Do you get just as upset when someone googles something rather than going to the library to look it up? 😅⚓️
I’d like to add that I don’t disagree with what you are saying. Huge gratification building a kit! Let’s use me as an example though. I consider my kit building time to be equivalent to my TH-cam editing/ filming/ uploading time. I could say the same thing about anyone without a TH-cam channel that you are saying about someone who hasn’t built a kit before. If I can have a TH-cam channel (and work full time, be present A LOT with two young children, be a husband, manage owning a home, the list goes on..) then I truly believe anyone can do it. Almost at least.
My point is, maybe people prioritize other things in life but still want to enjoy RC! Because of technology, that person CAN do that now! No shame at all in enjoying the hobby on different levels. Sadly, there are a lot of people that just can’t fathom that idea, which is why I talk about it often. Thanks for taking the time to have a mature conversation with me! 👍🙏💯⚓️
I'll respectively disagree with what your saying. If someone is not willing to put in the hard work that rc hobbies, and helicopters in particular require, then they should pick another hobby that can still be very fulfilling, but requires less dedication to perfection. These things are NOT toys. They are very capable of inflicting severe injury (even the small ones) if not set up properly and flown properly.
To be quite frank, I think Horizon hobby has actually done a tremendous disservice to the hobby. There has been a very steady decline in participation with more advanced portions of the hobby because they are spoon feeding people with RTF. If you have a bad experience with their product, you quit the hobby instead of saying " I spent so much time building and learning ro fly, if I dont succeed at first, I'll fix it and keep going". Plus, when they provide RTF, there is no learning to set up things (aircraft, radio, etc) which is required if/when people go more advanced. They then get super frustrated and quit.
Suppose you didn't have an rc you tube channel that was you livelihood. With the 2 failures you had with early RTF, and this mediocre experience with Blade 120, would you honestly continue to pursue?
You prefer to kit-build microhelis? You must have pretty good eyes. I would need a stereo microscope.
Nope. Legitimate 450 and above flies much better, those are kit build. Except for Blade poj helis.
Usually they have radio settings instructions.
I’ll get it figured out. This was just a maiden, and was honestly sort of rushed because of shipping issues. I’ve reached out to a friend for help and will absolutely do a follow up video 👍💯😎⚓️
When you going to have a new video of off the Draco
What's the purpose of doing a new helicopter review when you not even a helicopter pilot or being even familiar with the helicopter 🤣🙃🤣 " I'm new to helicopters and not afraid to admit it " What does that have to do with this New helicopter review ? NOTHING just Nate justifying to the world that he can fly a helicopter. Every video has some kind of justification in it. Well done Nate !! Was wondering if you ever fixed the 230 ?
Wow…
Whaa that tail wag...what a piece of shit. especially for that price. you better buy a goosky s1. stable as a rock.
Rtf 💯 agree on that
Glad I’m not the only one! I just think this sized helicopter would have/ could have appealed to a lot more people if they also offered a RTF version 👍💯😎⚓️
helicopters are totally different than planes and drones unless you have already bought a Rtf heli and have a Radio I would not but a bnf helicopter they are very complicated to me anyway 👍
You might have to setup safe when you bind. Book should say how to do it
I’m 100% going to do a follow up on this. Have reached out to a friend for help. 👍💯🙏😎⚓️
Pretty curious, just after elite announces their infusion 120 a new video from you pops up lol
How’s that? ⚓️
will these require a remote id to operate next month?
You tell me, lol. It was supposed to be in effect like a year ago. Keeps getting pushed back. People “like” to live in fear. Do not fear tomorrow while you can enjoy today! Odds are, it’ll get pushed back again. But we will see! 👍💯⚓️
Brian Phillips just did a review on this Heli !
Didn’t he crash his? Makes me feel a little better about my experience. I need more helicopter experience for sure. ⚓️
The instructions are on page 7 of the manual.
Thank you! Guess it all just looked like more advanced lingo than what I was familiar with. I’ll take a closer look at that page and try to make more sense of it 👍💯😎⚓️
It does have SAFE, you just have to enable it while binding...
Did the correct bind sequence, just didn’t get SAFE properly. I’ll do a follow up on this for sure 👍💯⚓️
I've had a couple blade helis when u first started safe never would work properly
No BNF for me, no radio all bound, no buy!
Good video, I would like to see you do the goosky s2,, and fly on stability mode!!
I’ll definitely give it a look! 👍💯😎⚓️
I have to disagree with you here, they give very specific instructions to set these up. It's not rocket science, it's following directions. Also there is a phone number you can call. The low voltage should have been screaming at you if set up right, this is in the instructions. The safe is probably on the button and it's a momentary "save yo butt" button. It's in the instructions. You would have to map it to a switch for it to always be on. This heli can be flown that way but it's not it's first priority, it's meant to do acro. I'm basing this on the instructions from the Infusion 180 which I'm going out on a limb to say they are pretty close. I guess you can learn to fly on this with the Safe feature but you would be better served to learn on a sim in acro. I would not consider this a beginner heli or a trainer. Beginner acro yes. Low mass, so low consequence and low cost when crashed. I agree with you on the proprietary connector BS, I wish they would just use xt30 for this size and be done with it.
You can make your own converter cables, and he’s not into Helis. If you watch some of the videos out by guys flying these things upside down and in small places basically in front of themselves doing tic tocs and all those other moves, it’s no plane for sure, or quad. Forget line of sight on a quad, it looks essentially the same enough from any angle. And those main blades even in a small one like this, can cut one easily. The bigger ones can take your head off, with those main blades. Peace out.
Are tail gains adjustable? Looks like it has some tail wag right out of the box
It looked like it was in a low speed mode, I bet 2 and 3 would take care of that
Love my RealFlight Sim! Learned to fly and if I crash the red button is your friend.
Note: Is that tail wag you or was it doing it on its own. If the heli is waggin on its own, you need to dial down the tail gyro setting.
Was not me. But it was a little windy. Thank you for this tip!! I could use more like this! 🙏👍💯⚓️
How does it compare to the MCPX BL2?
Dude buy a goosky s1 and tune the fbl to ur liking
The tail wag says it all. Goo sky still got this segment
Nate, I really enjoy your videos; however, you missed the mark on this one. I agree that the battery is troubling. Not unlike the OMP M1, same issues. If you take the time to actually review the instructions, you will find that Blade in channel assign has assigned GER channel to “Flight Mode” (B) since the heli has no gear the flight controller is programmed with SAFE on the gear channel now assigned to Flight Mode. SAFE is active in Flight Mode 0 (Normal). Flight Mode 1 (Idle1) and Flight Mode 2 (Idle2) are full 3D. Now in setup you will see a p mix I > GER. This assigns SAFE to the bind “panic” button I. You just think it through using the monitor. AS3X is on in all three flight modes. Just like airplanes, be careful of props or rotors, in normal the swash will seek level if you tilt any axis; however, will stay tilted in Idle 1 & 2. However, swash Will return to level in Idle 1&2 when panic mode is activated. I have never not received help from the heli pilots here in Tennessee, and I am just returning to RC at age 70.
Not sure why you have a non heli pilot demo a helicopter
I have never been able to get into helis idk i just dont get the enjoyment that i do when i fly my quadcopters or planes....helicopters just seem so unpredictable and "non" orientation friendly 😁
Outdoors is hard for Heli. Any little breeze can throw it off. Such a balance of thrust, weight, and Stability. that tail jitter ugh.
It's not his fault. I guarantee a MUCH better outcome if he would've been sent a Goosky S1 RTF, which is only $39.00 more, comes with 2 batteries and the radio. You would still need a charger, but Goosky and OMP are the only 2 TRUE out of the box RTF's I've ever seen. No adjustments needed. Bind the radio which takes less than 10 seconds, and you're ready to fly. All Carbon Fiber and Aluminum, with rock solid stability. They feel and fly like a MUCH larger finely tuned Heli.
GOTTA LEARN THE HARD WAY FOLKS THE HARD WAY AIN'T EASY 😊
Ya know, I do need to spend some more time with helicopters. 👍💯⚓️
I think I posted the first comment on horizons vid for it this morning I'm still waiting on you guys to do a vid on the rtf Goosky S1 Legend much better than anything Blade can offer
Don't worry I broke a rc helicopter.. I guess I don't have the gift to fly. 😂😂😂😂
🤞 Dont mention bad juju 😂
Bad juju, then with the good juju!! Third time Was the charm!!! 👍💯😅😎⚓️
@@TheRcSaylors That bird looks exactly like old Flybar f/p V911 Pro. Pretty much what we started with 7-8 yrs ago .
Please buy an OMP-Hobby M1 or M2 or Goosky the linear throw servos are terrible, I think it seems to be not very well tuned, because the tail is not stable! I think, what you are mentioned you are an Pilot not an technican, so you can´t optimise your system to your needs or expections. Sorry for my bad English, greatings from Germany
I know everyone loves OMP, but man… if only you knew what the guys did that run that company. They’ll never get a penny of my money or a second of free promotion. Just so strongly disagree with them morally. Sadly. 💯⚓️
Also, thanks for watching from Germany!! 🇩🇪 I think that is so cool!! 💯😎⚓️
@@TheRcSaylors I'm interested to know what those guys did. Can you tell me even by private message, if you can't describe it here?
Who flys the drone they should be able to fly the helicopter 6:20
Flying that close to a air strip will get someone killed if you can't control things. I know it's a hobby but you have to be safe, I thought you were going to fly it into the power transformer. You need AMA, DNA and MMA just be safe.
Blade 180 for 50$ more is way better 👍🏻
5:54.. "Or just already bound to a radio"..Ummm...How's that gonna work?? lol (VS RTF)
Flipping switches willy nilly while in flight shows this isn't a true review by someone with knowledge of the product. Usually you guys have great videos, but this one let me down. I love my little Infusion 120, and have no issues with it bound to my NX-8.
I think I may have already said much the same on this video before, but ran across it while surfing around.
6:50-ish.. I honestly think flying the crazy 3-d is like playing guitar. We watch people do it, and maybe think someday, we might be able to do the same, but no, that's not the way it works. Some talents are unobtainable man. lol I can play the start of "Smoke on the water", and that's about the equivalent of hovering around and maybe doing a little scale type flying, with barely a grip on head in hovering. (That's about where I am!) lol
I also think you either didn't properly set up your timer (Which should have been already done for you when you loaded the program for the heli) or maybe your volume's all the way down on your radio, but it shouldn't drop out of the sky like that without at the least a low voltage warning. Again, all things my radio does with the stock setup from the BNF menu in the radio itself.
7:52. Yes, people want to see "nothing but success" and you trying to review this poor heli not knowing much at all about it isn't a fair shake by a country mile Nate.
I always love your vids, and the great camera work to! But this one's a severe disappointment man.
Now I'll put my hat back on forwards and nasty Bob will go away. ;)
All very fair points which is why we did a follow up on this helicopter 😉👍💯⚓️
You're the Wish version of rc review
You’re the Wish version of comments. 🔥💯⚓️
Their reviews always give an honest opinion on what they’re flying, they are not afraid to say when they don’t know something, they give you a good look at everything they review and everything you see is exactly what you get. They literally couldn’t be farther from a “WISH” reviewer.
I will give blade this, that helicopter is freaking quiet. I don't know how they pulled that off, but that helicopter is easily quieter than the OMP hobby M1. I just wish that blade would actually play catchup with their flight controllers and get the TALY techology that makes the tail performance of the goosky and OMP hobby helis so good. Also why is blade still making these things with PLASTIC rotor head parts. C'mon, if goosky can produce metal rotor head parts then so can blade, this apple wannabe business practice of being technologically behind is getting old. Also if you really wanna learn how to fly go watch freddy cordova. He's really good. th-cam.com/video/EEQ3yAuuAYU/w-d-xo.html
So 10 years ago,if you wanted to fly helis,programing your transmitter was the only option.been flying for 20 years now.taught myself how to fly in my front yard.and,back then,you only had a gyro to control the tail only.ready ro fly gets more people into the hoby,but teaches them nothing about programming or repairing the heli,which is a definite, not a maybe.
You're baiting fate, taking a heli up and randomly "throwing switches". Not a good way to do things Nate. A little disappointed honestly. Tail rotor looks like it has the 'Blade wobble' a little bit. Pretty gruesome low battery behavior! Guess you didn't set your battery alarm? I think maybe you're getting a little too much quantity, and maybe quality suffering a little bit. You need to spend more time with this heli and the radio and functions before you can do an honest review. I'm really interested in one of these as it's a great cross between the smaller mCPX BL2, and the little bit larger 120 S2, which I LOVE to fly around even though it's a 1 S, brushed model. This new heli seems to be a melding of the two, which I really like! Your review, however, hasn't made any impressions on me whether or not to get one. Take more time to familiarize yourself with things you're reviewing, and we, the viewers, will have a better understanding of the product and it's capabilities. Just FYI, I too am not the 'expert' heli pilot either! So looking for something stable and predictable (like the 120 s2) is important to me.
Othe than that, loved the scale like realism of the Huey 'incident' at the start, and who's nightmare ISN'T is that a heli or plane would just "fly away"!?
Nope! I was NOT randomly throwing switches, so do NOT accuse me of something that is false. I was very carefully switching positions one at a time, in a healthy altitude position while being Very Aware of what these switches could do!
Moving on, I do plan to do a follow up, but this helicopter showed up at our door with no information or anything about 24 hours before it was being announced. I did the best I could with the very limited time frame I was given to “make it happen” and I AM giving my honest opinion of the entire thing! If someone in a similar experience level as me bought this thinking it would be like a BNF airplane (why shouldn’t a person think that) I guarantee they’d have a similar experience as mine, but would like crash thinking the helicopter had SAFE. This is the problem currently, and it’s obviously ruffling some feathers. 💯⚓️
Stay away from the BLADE junk, cannot get parts after about a year, they always have a newer model. Its the only helicopter Horizon Hobby has and they push the crap out of it because its all SPEKTRUM. I myself fly Spektrum as its my choice in my ALIGN and GOOSKY helicopters. Try a Goosky S1, you'll be amazed how good you become. HH too needs to dump this crap (Blade) and support a real heli manufacturer.
I absolutely agree!

BLADE HELI = TAIL WAG
You fly that close to a air field out of control you could kill someone. I thought you were going to fly into the power transformer and explode. You need the AMA, DNA and MMA insurance if your gonna do this crazy stuff.
lol… when was it ever out of control? I had total ability to dive it into the ground if needed. Although I do like your list of insurance providers 😉😅 Hope you have an awesome weekend!! 👍😎⚓️
Pretty much the whole flight was out of control. But the end was unbelievable the battery died and it fell out of the sky. @@TheRcSaylors
So you were serious with your comment and not joking?
Totally serious. I had a maiden flight years ago with a nitro stunt plane with a OS 40 on it. I was in a huge field but it didn't matter. It took off everything was good then it just flew away and then it went straight up and straight down 10 feet from hitting a school bus. That was the last time I flew anything. @@TheRcSaylors
So, you were flying with a gas engine and not an electric motor?
Yippee..........look at that "Blade" tail wag! What a piece of junk!! I own the OMP M1 and Goosky S1, a world of difference! Don't spend your money on this guys, trust me!
I definitely need to check those out. Thank you! 🙏⚓️
First thing I noticed was the tail wag…. No thanks! OMO M1 and Goosky blow this thing away. M1 is as solid as it gets.
BNF is not RTF… your problems were user setup. Nothing wrong with the heli. You need to follow the instructions.
and parts are waaaaaay cheaper@@bhgant813
Damn, even the XK 110 has less tail wag than this poj.
Your rant at 6:45 sounds like copium for being bad at advertising heli products. 😕
Tell me how you Really feel.
Lol. Look, I openly admit to being not good at helicopters and I also said openly that I believe there are others that could have demonstrated this helicopter better than me. You’re not really saying anything that I didn’t about myself… The catch is, it’s not an ad. Sure we show different RCs here, but no ad. No one pays us to say anything. Sorry you feel that way. Have a good day Mike. ⚓️
@@TheRcSaylors the second half of my statement isn't what I wanted you to focus on. Everyone's a critic, it was really just there to balance the first part.
Why are you dogging the heli community? It's WAY more complicated than planes but because it is, there are more people walking you through it step by step then there are planes -which makes it boring an unviewed for allot.
Planes are so easy people gloss over allot of the stuff the noobs no nothing about.
I found the opposite of your statement true. There are far more heli buds out there than plane buds.
The plane guys live in two categories on TH-cam.
1) decent production quality: decent viewership: decent support
2) ok production quality: zero viewership: mixed support
Heli guys live in 1 category.
1) ok production quality: low viewership: high support.
Heli buds are more helpful most of the time. Don't blame them for your inability. Listen back to what you said. You're blaming their lack of support for your inexperience. I know you're a TH-camr so you get a lot of criticism so you need a wall up, but sometimes you lower the gate a little and take some of the criticism as actual feedback 👍
Blade is asking $199 for this plastic BNF setup with shitty linear servos??? Why...when you can get a far superior Goosky S1 with all metal head, tail, bluetooth support and just better flying overall for the same price!
Blade wants to charge a premium because they think they have a loyal following that will buy their overpriced products no matter what.
Blade is trying to nudge themselves into the market, their helis overall have been selling poorly. If they are going to sell plastic bs, they best decrease there prices SUBSTANTIALLY. Almost every legitimate helicopter now has CNC components throughout. Stronger and better flight characteristics.
Yep absolutely right blade is so far behind the other manufacturers now it’s crazy and trying to sell this piece of shit for the same price as a S1
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
?
😬 $200 🤮 Horizon has lost its shine for me especially after dealing trying to get a refund recently on something any other company would of seen they made a mistake and made things right instead of play "you obviously have no idea what you are doing and damaged the product by looking at it in the box" use to love horizon.
Wow what a crap review! Guy's like you should stick with DJI Drones!
I absolutely refuse to buy anything that you have to Bind the radio yourself. If they can't do that from the factory, I won't bother with the company.
Bond and fly makes sense when you like ready to fly planes but hate tons of crap radios laying around.
Spektrum, as do most have preload settings available for thier products.
@anthonyrummel8610 You can do so... but only if you only want to have ONE model. If you are in the hobby, you want to have several models. So now, why should you buy a own radio to every model, if you can use the one you already have? It makes no sense, is bad for the environment cause so many scrap is produced. No, Bind and Fly is very good thing, but what the seller or the producer should do is just simply print a link where to download the perfect radio data settings instead of printing the settings to enforce you to programming the settings by yourself. If you a pro, you can easily adapt them to your special needs, but you have the basic functioning data set.
So you only buy models that come with radios? If so, you are loosing out on some great stuff.
Seems like a strange line to draw. Binding is easy and allows you to use your own radio to fly lots of models.
I have tried in the past to Bind a radio with a receiver with 0 success won't do it again.
Horizon hobby and helicopters NOPE
Get the goosky S1 best ever micro rc helicopter in the market!
I’ll absolutely check it out. Easy enough to set up? ⚓️
@@TheRcSaylors easy for me with goosky App
@@TheRcSaylors It's on a WHOLE other level from these. Get THAT RTF version, you will NOT be disappointed. Nothing to really setup. Push the bind button on the Heli 3 times to put it into bind mode, then turn on the Transmitter. It will bind quickly, and your all set! Plus there's even a plug-in included, that you use with your cell phone in Bluetooth, if you want to fine tune ANYTHING to your flying style. Has a stability flight mode in Normal, Idle up 1 and Idle up 2. Flick the switch out of stability and you are in full 3D manual mode. You get the Heli, 2 batteries, nice non-toy like radio, Blue Tooth plug in, and only $39.00 more than this embarrassment. Of course I meant the Heli, not you.
Time stick operating anything , yet helicopter's as of general user and especially beginer friendly users. Are generations lagging behind on upgrades / technologies to make helicopters more appealing. TRADE SECRET PEOPLE...EGOS 😬😳🤔 BGOOD U GUYS 🙏🚁🛩️🚤🏎️
It would be nice to see helicopters grow in popularity again. Not sure what it will take to make that happen, but this could be a small step in that direction. Certainly having something newly released is better than nothing, and I feel as though I can learn from this helicopter! Happy Flying! 👍💯😎⚓️
Hope the industry stays with the challenges RC helicopters face , simplified idiot proof flying in all forms are the future of RC flying. Should be interesting 🤔☺️ continued success 🙂
