revived an oldie but a great vid after watching the Alerc vid. I thought "he took a gear from his blu ray player?! wow that's some skills" lol.. this vid answers that. thanks Dave!
Yeah I Picked up this heli and have already been able to hover well with it and I owe that to the simulator. I have had one real crash on it though and that actually stripped one of the servos gears. Not too bad to fix and even though i slammed the blades pretty hard on the ground they didnt come up with a scratch. All-in-all I'd say this was a good purchase.
Exceed-RC has done it again! Another great helicopter. I notice the orange bags you attached to the skids. Like you said, "You can't fly 'em if you can't see 'em!" LOL
Excellent review Dave. But since last nights snowfall, I think stormlauncher season is among us. Maybe the sled-skid idea might also be worth trying. 5 stars my friend! This helicopter flies grrreat!
I looked into this heli once and I believe the upper right knob adjusts the collective WITHOUT adjusting the headspeed, in otherwords if you turn it up, you will hover at lower stick input and lower RPM, but you will have less negative pitch to play with in 3D. where as if you turn it down you will hover at a higher headspeed and have less positive pitch, sounds like something I would probably leave centered.
That Blue Ray is awesome! Too bad I can't fly a helicopter as good as you can, or I'd buy 1 myself. That heli definitely appeared to be, of good quality. That Esky heli with the blue l.e.d. on the tail is a good heli too. I hope a RC satellite/digital cable channel does come out.24/7 nothing but various RC's, & different shows focusing on the different RC hobbies out there.Just like the Speed channel, or the Discovery channel, or G4TV-that's a video game channel.RC needs to be taken mainstream
This Helicopter is basically the same as the EXI 450 all metal version with out the Exceed RC electronics. It is the smoothest heli I have ever flown and very very stable. It blew away my friends brand new blade 400 at the field.
Love this heli its great! Add trex parts as you go from your LHS. Or a better tail servo and gyro. The EXI squadron is the same thig but no electronics. Flys VERY STABEL!
Great video. I got one of these a month ago and apart from a defective servo, it's been great and.. the really amazing thing about it is the tx is programmable on a computer. Not bad for a RTF! I can't do what you do with it though.. YET
Hi Sir, I'm a newbie and of course, crash my blue ray like yours after 4x of hovering too high. It's under repair right now and i can't align/re center the servo arm on the right side(if you're facing the heli). I find you're very knowledgeable with this hobby. Thanks for the help in advance.
Yes they are, their also smoother. but i just like the simplisity of the shaft. personaly i have had better luck with shafts. Nice helo, and 5 stars on the rolls.
BEST GRIN IVE SEEN ON YOUR FACE SO FAR ON 8:24 LOL! That 'BlueRay' Heli flies sweet!, is it a 400 sized heli? sweet flying dave & do you prefer that or the B400. that sure sounds like a beast when flying though!! cant wait for part 2 5 Stars
You sure can dude and I for one thank you for all your work. I always watch your videos with interest. Keep up the good work. Now, do you rate the Blue Ray as highly as the Trex? And what do you fly everyday?? Nitro helis or electric. Wish I had your skills man.
Thanks Dave, i have learned more about heli technology watching tw of your vids than all the hours of FSX videos. Very enjoyable. Question pls. Like with scaletrixs racing cars vs real racing cars . . Is the = speed of the model helis ignificantly faster than their real life counterparts?
FIVE STARS And i'm still waiting on an FS8 auto pilot Tx crystal, and your BlueRay just touches the sky without any co-pilot first hand on a basic radio, makes me feel a little sick ,but hey I've bought a new puppy instead. Great camera work, now put it ON the heli please.
exactly. Buy the trex parts, put them on the blueray. I already have trex main shaft, feathering shaft, blades, etc etc on my blueray. Great thing is, mail order parts from xheli is cheaper but if you need parts in a hurry, use the trex450 se v2 parts for more $.
dave,another great vid. looks really stable flight. so would this be the the next step up from vw? maybe bmw. still not qwite ready for the porsche , keepem coming dave
Wow this looks a very impressive Heli for the money, would you say its a better choice than the Blade 400 as a next step after the HoneyBee FixedPitch. I dont plan on flying it until i can fly the HBFP with my eyes closed ;) Cheers Lee.
as always sweet video Dave ;) now im just waiting for the day you do a Trex 500 review :D im guessin the MCX is the smallest heli (im only thinking of 4ch and above) youve ever flown but can you tell me what the biggest was? as in rc yea :D
hi your heli look nice very stable good set up and you fly 9:45 second that good.but cant i ask you something. what servo you used because i see you make a 3D
Hi Ive been looking for a while into getting into the RC Heli hobby. I started on the sims and have gotten decent at hovering and some basic flight. Ive had my eye on this heli from Xheli and was wondering if it would be good for someone with my experience and if not what you would recomend. Thanks A lot!
DANGER DAVE.. lol i have to ask you what you think of the FUTUBA Fasst system.. my new heli comes with the futaba fasst and its 10 channel... any advice id appreciate please.... you deploying heli rc friend .. and student.. chris lol
I've bought a pocket eidolon s8 and it was fine at first but after about a week the back rotars stopped moving for some reason.Now it can't move forward or back but it still moves up and down. Any idea on how to fix it?I tried earlier today and got it to move for a couple of seconds but then it stopped and wouldn't move again. i've crashed it quite alot but it seemed fine....until yesterday.
there is way to correct trim,for honey bee fp,dave correct me if i am wrong.. with chopper tail facing you... if the rear blades rotate exceedingy quick,the tail will move to left side,,,adhust the proportion trimmer to decrease the rpm of the tail counter clockwise very small turn i mean little and work with that.if it does the oppsite turn same dial oppsite of it
do you think it would fly any better if you were to swap thier TX/RX for the DX6i and an AR6100 Spektrum Combo......would only cost you 50 bucks to find out...;)
hey im getting a new heli. the copterx 450. but i have a question now. i have way to much - pitch and not enough +. well on idle-up mode. how can you adjust that with the stock transmitter
hi, i got a cp gold twister. the problem is that it drifts to the left as its lite on its skids. it still does it even after trimming. can you please help..regards
Dammit I knew xheli fucked up! I purchased the Aluminum upgrade for the Blade 400 and got this beautiful head and tale set thats for the 450. They fit my heli but my carbon fiber blades dont and my roter blades flop around.
I like my Cx2 a lot, but I am trying to find some lights for night flying. =) People At my Hobby Town have seen me fly and think I am a pretty good pilot for my age...13.. =)
2:23 i am turning it until it hardly moves at all? i cant understand what you say at this point, can you tell me? (sry i'm german and i dont understand everything :-) thx
Hey i think im going to buy this one. I have flown and could hover the new Blade Sr. Do you think I could hadel this. What is better. This or the belt cp? I have a belt cp used comming in the mail that has cnc head and rotor. New motor new pinion new blades and new canopy. What one is better? Thanks
I think that Dave thought you were refering to him as the guy, just the same as i did until i re-read your question again. This makes sense as he says maybe he faked it. I honestly think that he has a phenomanal amount of comments and PMs to read through and prolly just mis-read the same as i did. I just try to say what i see, no hard feelings Lee.
Gigahertz = Frequency of Transmitter & Receiver (Radio-Controlled) is measured in Hertz. The rest is easy like Kilo-byte Mega-byte Giga-byte Tera-byte....
i flown just a 3ch co-axial rc helicopter and i like rc planes and helicopters big like this ones but i only can watch them on youtube because i don`t have money for them
this is a very nice heli Dave, flies smooth, looks like quality build, well done !
i'm a plane guy and you make flying those thing look so easy!
i give you props for flying it that cold man !! it was that cold here today (in the south)...i didn't even go outside
nice job
Nice review / video as always Dave. I was skeptical about this heli before, but now I see that it is a pretty decent product.
revived an oldie but a great vid after watching the Alerc vid. I thought "he took a gear from his blu ray player?! wow that's some skills" lol.. this vid answers that. thanks Dave!

Beauty Dave. It reminds me alot of the T-Rex 450, especially with the canopy on. 5/5 and I hope to see more Exceed products.
Excellent review Dave. But since last nights snowfall, I think stormlauncher season is among us. Maybe the sled-skid idea might also be worth trying.
5 stars my friend! This helicopter flies grrreat!
Im glad i saw this video of yours,Because im going to bye one 5 stars.Lovely flying indoors and out.look forward to part 2.
Awesome, Merry Christmas to you & yours Mr. Night Flyyer, i ALWAYS enjoy your videos, they are THE best...

Night Flyer !!! Thanks A Bunch For the Vid. Now these XHeli's Make more since to me and Im also buying another in a Month or so. GOOD SHOW !!!
Nice flying Dave, I am just building my
first 450 heli.
Great review Dave , I was going to get the Blue Ray but I went with the Falcon 400 SE because it was on sale :). Great flying also.
Sweet Dave very sweet. I do really enjoy your reviews.
Nice flying, Dave!
It makes me want to get a Trex 450 (similar design to that heli). :)
This Helicopter is basically the same as the EXI 450 all metal version with out the Exceed RC electronics. It is the smoothest heli I have ever flown and very very stable. It blew away my friends brand new blade 400 at the field.

Hello Dave ,
i´ve just ordered one.Indeed ihis is a nice heli.I like your videos ,they are very informativ.
greetings from germany
Great flying as always too Dave!
cool heli Dave and great flying
Great flying as always, cool vid.

sweet flying dave & do you prefer that or the B400. that sure sounds like a beast when flying though!!
cant wait for part 2
5 Stars
That helicopter is great!
When the weather lightens up are you going to do an inverted hover for us in 3D mode please XD?
You sure can dude and I for one thank you for all your work. I always watch your videos with interest. Keep up the good work. Now, do you rate the Blue Ray as highly as the Trex? And what do you fly everyday?? Nitro helis or electric. Wish I had your skills man.
hey Dave. nice approach on 8:14 to 8:20
Man, You must have an armada in your garage. Or Flotilla. What do you call a major aerial force in military parlance? Pretty cool.
Thanks Dave, i have learned more about heli technology watching tw of your vids than all the hours of FSX videos. Very enjoyable. Question pls. Like with scaletrixs racing cars vs real racing cars . . Is the = speed of the model helis ignificantly faster than their real life counterparts?
FIVE STARS
And i'm still waiting on an FS8 auto pilot Tx crystal, and your BlueRay just touches the sky without any co-pilot first hand on a basic radio, makes me feel a little sick ,but hey I've bought a new puppy instead.
Great camera work, now put it ON the heli please.
Sweet this makes me lean towerds EXCEED-RC for my 1st 3d heli (i have a coaxial walkera)
So do you like it better than the blade 400? I beleive you said the 400 was oneof your favorites, love the videos thanks for your objective insight!!!
exactly. Buy the trex parts, put them on the blueray. I already have trex main shaft, feathering shaft, blades, etc etc on my blueray. Great thing is, mail order parts from xheli is cheaper but if you need parts in a hurry, use the trex450 se v2 parts for more $.
dave,another great vid. looks really stable flight. so would this be the the next step up from vw? maybe bmw. still not qwite ready for the porsche , keepem coming dave
Awesome job good review! I bought the Genesis 450PE but I haven't messed with it yet. Where did you get the red cushions?
Wow this looks a very impressive Heli for the money, would you say its a better choice than the Blade 400 as a next step after the HoneyBee FixedPitch. I dont plan on flying it until i can fly the HBFP with my eyes closed ;)
Cheers Lee.
most of the important parts are interchangeable. So you can get parts fast at a local shop if you need to. Can have your cake and eat it too.
as always sweet video Dave ;) now im just waiting for the day you do a Trex 500 review :D im guessin the MCX is the smallest heli (im only thinking of 4ch and above) youve ever flown but can you tell me what the biggest was? as in rc yea :D
thanks Dave i like and what do you think about blade 400 and the blueray are thay about the same?
nice pilot !
hi your heli look nice very stable good set up and you fly 9:45 second that good.but cant i ask you something. what servo you used because i see you make a 3D
Man you make it look too easy. =)
dave interseted in the esky belt v2 carbon edition... how bout a review on that when you get a chance..
no i was thanking u for thanking me and i liked the vid i want to be in ur type of business
That head looks COMPLICATED. Sure would not want to crash it. Seems like a nice flyer though.
Great vid/review as usual.
as Brieatz asks, how do you compare it to the Blade400?
Five Stars
It is funny how they have an esky belt-cp on the front of it. nice review though
Dave,
Nice video. It sounds very quiet. Is this larger than your Blade heli?
Thanks,
Jeff
@RCvehicleGuy
Do you know how many clones of the trex 450 there is?
thousands!
wow nice vid.
In your opinion whats a better heli, this of the hb king 2? or if not what are the differences?
awesome heli how come u put the flotys on the landin gear?
are the parts compatible with trex? by the nice flying! what no inverted hover?lol.
would this heli lift a small digital camera mounted to the belly below?
i just orderd a blueray i was wondering what the orange thins on your skids are for
verry good review
Hi Ive been looking for a while into getting into the RC Heli hobby. I started on the sims and have gotten decent at hovering and some basic flight. Ive had my eye on this heli from Xheli and was wondering if it would be good for someone with my experience and if not what you would recomend. Thanks A lot!
DANGER DAVE.. lol i have to ask you what you think of the FUTUBA Fasst system.. my new heli comes with the futaba fasst and its 10 channel... any advice id appreciate please.... you deploying heli rc friend .. and student..
chris lol
in this helicopter fits align 450 parts and flybarless rotor head? thank brother!!
how do u do loop? after u turn the 2d switch on do u push the forward stick and turn the pitch stick down?
@NightFlyyer Silverlit IR helikopter "metal" (R2F) its small and an indoor one it llooks nice what do you think the opinion of an expert counts
I've bought a pocket eidolon s8 and it was fine at first but after about a week the back rotars stopped moving for some reason.Now it can't move forward or back but it still moves up and down. Any idea on how to fix it?I tried earlier today and got it to move for a couple of seconds but then it stopped and wouldn't move again. i've crashed it quite alot but it seemed fine....until yesterday.
using battery? how long it can fly? and any indicator at the control if its running outta batt?
there is way to correct trim,for honey bee fp,dave correct me if i am wrong.. with chopper tail facing you... if the rear blades rotate exceedingy quick,the tail will move to left side,,,adhust the proportion trimmer to decrease the rpm of the tail counter clockwise very small turn i mean little and work with that.if it does the oppsite turn same dial oppsite of it
thanks :) im thinking of buying a 6ch helicopter with the flight simulator software for christmas :)
do you think it would fly any better if you were to swap thier TX/RX for the DX6i and an
AR6100 Spektrum Combo......would only cost you 50 bucks to find out...;)
hey im getting a new heli. the copterx 450. but i have a question now. i have way to much - pitch and not enough +. well on idle-up mode. how can you adjust that with the stock transmitter
hi, i got a cp gold twister. the problem is that it drifts to the left as its lite on its skids. it still does it even after trimming. can you please help..regards
what does those orange thingys do ?
what speed should i take off with mini havic hele slow or fast
Dammit I knew xheli fucked up! I purchased the Aluminum upgrade for the Blade 400 and got this beautiful head and tale set thats for the 450. They fit my heli but my carbon fiber blades dont and my roter blades flop around.
I like my Cx2 a lot, but I am trying to find some lights for night flying. =) People At my Hobby Town have seen me fly and think I am a pretty good pilot for my age...13.. =)
Whats the usual flight time of these rc helis?
where do you buy pontoons for the rc helicopter plz comment back
and that can cut you the head ? or your hand ?
y the cyclic servos look so slow?
2:23 i am turning it until it hardly moves at all? i cant understand what you say at this point, can you tell me? (sry i'm german and i dont understand everything :-)
thx
Is that a e-sky HH gyro?
Hey i think im going to buy this one. I have flown and could hover the new Blade Sr. Do you think I could hadel this. What is better. This or the belt cp? I have a belt cp used comming in the mail that has cnc head and rotor. New motor new pinion new blades and new canopy. What one is better? Thanks
Top class
I think that Dave thought you were refering to him as the guy, just the same as i did until i re-read your question again.

I honestly think that he has a phenomanal amount of comments and PMs to read through and prolly just mis-read the same as i did.
I just try to say what i see, no hard feelings Lee.
whats with the purple laser?
Sorry for 3 Comments in a row lol, but at the end you said stay tuned for part 2, are you still planning on a part 2 dave?
Lee
do you need a charger or one comes with it ?
i hv mine coming soon. looking forward to have some funn. (450 Storm carbon fiber)
do you now what is a good site to look for helicopters?and do you live in europa?
verry nice !
im 14 so monny is not my strongest points i want to buy an hali like yours you have tips for cheap fabricators thanks for postinhg this vid
is this helicopter, similar to a blade 400
My throttle and tail control is on the right, not left. I'm flying a thundertiger raptor. That one I'd crash instantly.
yes, that helped. thanks.
wats better your blade 400 or Blue Ray
Gigahertz = Frequency of Transmitter & Receiver (Radio-Controlled) is measured in Hertz. The rest is easy like

Can you send me your tips?
how long can it fly ?
where did u get it
i flown just a 3ch co-axial rc helicopter and i like rc planes and helicopters big like this ones but i only can watch them on youtube because i don`t have money for them
