Hot,Tiny, Brushless, Flybarless, WL Toys V-977 Helicopter review, + 3D Flight test.

*Keep your eye on the birdie! The WL Toys V977 Power Star X1 is a hot, tiny, brush-less motored helicopter. It is challenging for line of sight flyers to see due to it's size and quickness, but the extra power this X1 has with the Brush-less motor is awesome! I like it a lot as you will see in these first 2 flights. As soon as the weather breaks and I get used to flying it, I will make an all flying video.
Happy Flying,
