i have to agree. i think you've saved many people a lot of money and grief by helping with that difficult task of discerning what to look for in a helicopter. you seem quite sensible and yet still knowledgeable
nice looking unit indeed, I flew a Graupner 47 G Jet Ranger (red and white body) for a couple of months, it is coaxial, has 2 servos and 2 engines 180 type. That was my first heli, bought it last year and learned a lot. Same possibilities as this one. Thx for the vid Dave !
I have a lama v-4 and had this heli too. I sold this one because it is soooooo easy to fly for me and not as quick as the lama. It is a great beginners heli and super tough. I flew it into a rope hanging from the ceiling of my garage and it only broke a couple of blades and bent the flybar!
Hi Dave I really enjoy your videos, I really liked the one were you caught the fish, very cool. I have decided to purchase the Blazing Star and give this a go, this will be my first 4 channel machine, thanks for all the pointers.
Like I said in the video, this heli is definitely a winner. It also has a suprisingly long flight time. Excellent review Dave. I think this one's gonna be a sell out.
You make flying heli's seem so easy. You always inspire me to pursue this hobby, but i suck at it. Can u please make a tutorial on how to properly fly a heli? please do!
is a blazing star a good heli to start out with, i was told you should start out with a single blade heli.because it will mix you up on the controls. thank you Jimmy
I am definitely going to get this heli since 1) I have seen many of your videos and trust that you certinly know what you're talking about, and 2)I need another real heli to fly as my big Double Horse S 3 channel has pretty much bit the dust and I have outflown the battery life on my much smaller Air Hog Havoc. I do have an excellent flgiht sim, but I need to fly for real again!
Nice, and good to learn on, but I hate couter-rotating helis. Back in the day, I learned to fly on collective-pitch nitro machines like the .30 Hirobo SHUTTLE, and the .60-powered X-Cell. People today have it too easy. Plus, you can only fly it when there's no wind. Flies good though.
Hello Dave, Do you know of any R/C Heli that has a Aerial Drop Module like some of the hobby zone planes. I have a blast with those and was looking for a heli with one or a x-port to attach. thanks for your time
Great Video, i was thinking about getting a HoneyBee for my first chopper (Im an experienced fixed wing RCer) But i do like the look of this, when you said Jeff was a novice, how much of a novice was he? Had he flown any choppers before?
I have ordered this helicopter trusting your good review of it. I have a question: how high could a guy with your skill fly this thing, also what is the radius length from the controller that would still provide reliable control? MANY THANKS
I just received this model. What are the two (2) silver switches for on the upper right and left top of the transmitter for? Mine don't do anything. Are they for a 3D transmitter?
this seems to have a slightly larger gap between the sets of blades, how does that help? cause i've heard of people doing that to their lamas and blade CX's
Once again Dave great video, you mention that the only con is that you didnt get 2. I bought the CX2 after watching your CX2 video review wich you spoke highly of. MY question to you is which 1 do you like better and wich one is better?
thanks for replying so quick. can you believe this: i got it, and it doesn't work. the upper rotor stops spinning at about 1/3 of a throttle, if i reverse the connection to the receiver than the bottom one stops at about 1/3 throttle. this means that both engines are fine. i've tried all the adjustments on the receiver and transmiter... servos are fine too. i know it is not your jurisdiction, nor do you have to spend ur time on this, but any idea what could it be? i am so frastrated. thank you
I need your help with this ship.I bought the Walkera version of this and it has always worked fine until I had a misshap and while it was on the ground not moving I forgot to take of the small bunji cord that was secureing it to it's hanger and tried to fly it and the cord wrapped around the rotors for maybe one second before I saw it.Now it spins clockwise and won't take off at all.The only broken part I can see is the steering guide and I have replaced it and it does the same thing.
Hello MR. Dave, I just got my blazing star an i charge the battery up but when i put it in the heli the green light will not keep flashing .help me JImmy
hey dave, so you obviously fly very often, but i want to know how often you crash? you are very skilled at flying these rc helis and planes, but everybody crashes, right?
question..... i Have the canadian model of this helicopter, worked fine for about four good flys then it stopped having the lift it used too. now even with a fully charged battery it can barely lift itself off the ground? bought new battery pack and still cant' get very high. just barely hover. whats up?
Before anything... thanks for your videos... they're GREAT!!! Please, help me to make a good choice.... this one (Exceed Blazing Star), teh BIG LAMA or a Esky Belt CPV2????? My level is beginner... my experience is only a 3ch heli. Which one will be better for me??? Oh... I don't want to make 3d acrobatic flights.... only a good and stable heli to have some FUN!!!! Thanks, BRAZIL.
I got my heli yesterday (1/6/09) the green light keeps flashing, it does not get solid and the heli will not run at all. My meter is saying the battery is fully charged but the battery does not get warm. Xheli says it could be the transmitter but I don't know. Please help!!!!!!! Thanks, Jimmy
hello,im a beginner end im 14 yearsold. can you tell what a good easy copter is for a beginner.ik got 3 airplane(1 is 80 cm long)and i got 1 helicopter.can you tell me what a good and easy helicopter is?with not more then 120$?????
erm may i ask coz i juz a child ermm i hav a diary helicopter but it sux like the hoverlite keep spinning i dunnoe y but cant control juz spin and mine fwen say if cant feel the spinning thingy at the back of the helicopter dunnoe how to say that he say if u feel no win cant control help pls anyway i MABY buying a wow wee dragonfly or dunnoe wat helicopter recoment pls
Hi Dave..Great video as always.. This copter reminds me of a Lama with a modern twist..lol. If it's ok with you I would like to send you an email about some scale heli's. Have a good one take care.
I bought a Blazing Star based on this video with high hopes. After flying it for a couple of months and learning more about this sport I would now say that this heli is a piece of junk. I also have learned (again) that you get what you pay for. When you buy a Blazing Star (BS -- is perfect) you are paying for cheap plastic. It might be an OK kids toy but if your are serious about fly RC helis don't waste your money on the BS!
only one con. the lipo battery. the most dangerous battery in the world .just youtube lipo battery fire .fire marshel bill burns from inliving colour grabs the battery and says >>>let me show you somethin >>lol
Would you agree that if a real one was built like the BS no rational person would fly in it ... no matter how "perfectly" it worked? I know Sully wouldn't ... but his standard for "perfectly" is probably a little higher than yours.
i have to agree.
