Great flying buddy! I liked the auto at the end
Great job on the making of this video. Answers all the questions I have. Thank you!!
Thank you, glad this helped!
Fantastic job done on the video as always...all questions answered and no stones unturned. I will be getting one when available in the UK.
Thank you, I'm sure you will love it!
Thank you for this video. Super content. Very nice fligth. 😮👍👍
Just in case anyone is a newbe like me and struggles to use the model menues which are supplied in the links then perhaps this might help..
.-Few steps to load Joanas models to your Zoro TX with a windows machine.
-Load FW 2..07.0 or latest FW to Zorro TX
-Install EdgeTX companion ver2.8.0 on your laptop/pc
-Connect Radio top USB port to PC
-Pop up menu will appear on Zoro and select to 'connect with USB SD card'
-On a windows machine go into device manager and check to see if it has found and loaded a driver for USB mass storage device without displaying an explanation mark…important***
-On LHS menus of EdgeTX Companion choose icon ‘backup radio to file’ just in case you get over excited and screw up the model menu
-On LHS menu’s of EdgeTX companion choose icon ‘read models and settings from radio menu’ and a sub menu with a model list should open.
-Choose ‘file’ the ‘open’ and search for your correct model file which you want to install which has been previously downloaded to your PC. Select this file and open it which will result in a second window being opened in EdgeTX companion showing this model which you have just selected.
-On LHS display simply add a new model and from the RHS screen drag the new model file across and drop it on the LHS new model which you have just created and it will ask you if you want to overwrite it…say yes.
-Save file to computer and select icon which states ‘write models and settings to radio’ which will state that it has saved all model settings to radio. Simply look in the Zorro menu and the new model will be there. Bind it to your new Heli and away you go for another crash.
Once again, thank you for the setup. Those numbers are spot on, flying my EVO with Futaba 14SG. So quiet, quick and precise. Love it! By the way, can I apply those numbers to my V2 from your previous setup on V2? Thanks again Jonas
Thanks for the video
Great video!
Answered all of my questions including a few questions (indirectly) that I had concerning the flight controller vs. the FC on the M2V2 and if the firmware could be interchangeable
in the interest of improving the M2 by simply (or not simply) LOL- flashing EVO firmware onto the older V2 FC.
I commented about 1/2 way into the video.
Have more questions LOL.
The video did not cover the new FC and if it has different firmware to match the airframe changes and different head and tail.
You casually mentioned deadband mitigation (in the transmitter) which is a possible hint that nothing was changed in the FC in terms
of deadband issues on the V2.
And THANK YOU for including an auto!!
Got back into the hobby at a good time.. dug out my original mcpx bl a month ago and my dx7s and started flying. Forgot how much I enjoy it. I will be getting one of these and was thinking tx16s mkii max but now I may lean more towards the zorro! Mad my dx7s would have deadband issues with omp..
I'm in basically the same boat and couldn't agree more. Dug out my mcpx v2 with a DX6i about 6 weeks ago and immediately fell back in love. Quickly picked up a TX16S and an OMP M2 Explore and have been loving them. The Zorro looks pretty cool, but I'm super happy with my TX16S. This M2 EVO looks amazing though...
I'm definitely getting one of these
Epic!
Waiting for delivery :)
Thank you for all the information - the heli looks amazing! I already ordered one and I am really looking forward to flying it.
The only thing I am sceptical about is the new battery tray. I really liked the old mechanism - simple and effective. Like a fully grown heli 😀
I guess omp wanted to maximize the size of the battery or what's the reason for the change?
That battery latch _hates_ me. I have rheumatoid arthritis & it literally hurts to get the battery in & out of my M2 V2, let alone unplug its tiny XT30 connector.
For me, the change would make working with my helicopter just _that_ bit better.
Where did you order it? Could you forward me the link please
❤thank you
I purchased the S2 legend because I was told that it had more power and longer flight times. Don't get me wrong I like it. But I'm going to go with Omp for something larger. The M4 is next on my list. Next season I will have one
Thank you for good vdo!!!
I have some question about upgrade v.2 to evo.
Can we change only;
- Rotor head + blade
- Main Shaft (Old Motor)
- Tail Motor
- Tail Boom
In your vdo, you also mention about "frame" upgrade.
So, I don't sure that frame must be upgraded or not?. Or we can use original from v.2?
Another question is can we change only main shaft and use v.2 motor?
Thank you so much : )
Do you know if the radio master TRANSMITTER works with all omp helicopters Old M1 M2 v2 & Explorer (futaba rx & dsmx control unit etc) all rx controller versions please
Hello Jonas, I'm confused about your Setup and Config in terms of an OMPHobby M1/M2 Evo and Zorro 4in1 RTF-Kit. How can I fully and correctly implement your Model Files into a RTF Zorro 4in1? Do I still have to buy and attach an external Satellite Receiver to run your Model-Setup to overstep the OMP Protocol limitation ? Because you mentioned 2 times the following statement
("Choose the correct setup file for your receiver type. Simply changing the receiver type in the radio WILL NOT WORK.") and
("Either SFHSS or DSMX, or modify the setup file accordingly for your preferred Rx. OMP protocol is too limited.")
Thank you for your in depth work for the Heli-Community Regards René / Schweiz
I just got mine yesterday and have watched a few videos. Have not tried to fly it yet. One of the things I have not seen (forgive me if it was shown and I was just too thick to get it) How do you charge the battery? I do not see a charger with the heli? Thanks!
When Jonas says you can use the longer evo blades on the v2 you have to make adjustments to the FBL. What adjustment do you have to do? I would like to put my v2 into a 250 size md500 fuselage and use the evo blades if I can. Thank you for any help I can get
Nice
Thank you 🤝
Hi Jonas, I'm new to this hobby. I bought a M1 EVO and a M2 EVO. I have a question about the gains. If I set the gyro gain higher does that mean it stabilizes more? Thanks in advance for your answer. And please keep making this kind of video's.
Hello, Jonas thank you for everything you do. you are very helpful. I have a quick question... Will it be okay to fly my first Gen OMP M1 with your M1 Evo zorro setup or will I have to change any of the pitch setting or anything else?
Since the M1 and M1 EVO are identical in their propulsion system and flight controls, the file can be used with no modifications. This is not true for the M2 EVO however.
@@Johnny31297 very nice, I appreciate you.
Awesome heli. Whats the kv of the main motor?
Quick question, I want to get myself the Zorro max controler, will this work with my omp1 and will i need a reciever for it? thanks Jonas.
Hi Jonas i have something to check with you. I have M1 evo heli right now & im having problem to get the right pitch for the heli, eventhough swashplate & servos are all level. Im using radiomaster pocket. if im in normal mode, i can hover the heli, but its not the same as last time set up. When i am hovering, looks like the pitch is not right...difficult to control, like ball. I hope you can help me on this. Thanks.
What size torx do I need to remove the main shaft from the motor?
😂 finish video very nice
How is it to mount other batteries from the V2? Any easy way to use straps or something to hold batteries that might be a little smaller than the 750mah batteries? Is the Cannopy the same, just different colors?
With smaller batteries you might be able to use a strap around the bottom of the frame. Canopy question is answered in the video 😉😬
Hi, auf dem Omphobby Lipo gibt es keine Angabe zur max Laderate....mit wieviel C kann er geladen werden?
Danke und Gruss, Stefan
Which Zorro for Blade helis ? The 4in1 ? Thx
Hi Jonas
What’s difference between m2 evo and expo?
Hello Jonas, question for ya.. what size driver is need to remove the main shaft bolt from the motor? 1.5mm is too small and 2mm is too big on mine.
T8 👍
@@Johnny31297 Thank you! 🤙
hi good job, but no link in description. ont omp website not have the evo , just the m2
Are you sure? Check again 👍
we have the description on the website, pls check: www.omphobby.com/
I'm really confused on the binding process, I am very new! I have a Spektrum NX8, and I need some sort of RX that has a DSXM port? I don't understand this and don't know what to buy so I can bind it up. I read a lot that there are some sat's that have a bind button, but they are sold out everywhere. So can you help?
You need a DSM capable satellite, be it Spektrum or any other brand. Specifically not SRXL protocol. Bind it to the model memory you want to use, then connect it to the helicopter. 👍
@@Johnny31297 I'm sorry I just don't understand. I think I know what satellite I need, but how do I bind it to the model memory? All the videos I find say I need a Spektrum Receiver to plug the Satellite into, and bind, then the satellite plugs into the Heli. ... But what Spektrum Receiver do I need??
@@rsnate2930 Yes, essentially any receiver that can take a satellite, or a bind module like this for example: de.aliexpress.com/item/32839343115.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2deu
Everytime you say Helicopter I do shots!
Hope you're still alive!
When can we expect the M1 EVO?
Did it get any damage at the end? :)
Hi Jonas, I have a question. Some users are claiming that the evo lacks power compared to the s2, and that the power drops after 2 minutes of flying. Do you have time to prove it's true?
Don't worry, it's not. The guy claiming this a) has no idea about how to properly operate a helicopter and b) is biased against OMPHobby for some reason. The EVO has more than enough power for anything you can do with it. I get 3:30min of full 3D flying out of it.
@@Johnny31297 You must be busy these days, but thank you so much for the quick reply.
Anybody know how I could use my Paladin EV with this. Noob here!
Jonas, can I use tail boom of M2 V2(exp) on Evo? Thank you
It's 10mm shorter but will fit. Just looks a bit weird
Hey Jonas 😊, ich habe mir einen OMPHobby M1 gegönnt, und wollte dem dann diesen Rescue Mode ( für 3 verschiedene Kopfdrehzahlen) gemäß deinen Angaben programmieren… das Problem ist, obwohl ich das , denke ich zumindest, so gemacht habe , wie in deinem Video, geht der Fc, wenn ich den Rescue-Schalter ziehe ins Selfleveling, danach zeitgleich auf die passende Drehzahl zum Flightmode,erst wenn ich dann den Rescue-Schalter loslasse, kommt die Verzögerung… die muss ja unbedingt nach dem Selfleveling kommen! Alleine lt Kanal-Monitoring kann man schon sehen, das ich hier irgendwo einen Fehler drin habe, ich weiß nur nicht wo… habe da jetzt echt lange versucht, den Fehler zu finden … Hast du vielleicht eine Idee? Habe übrigens einen externen passenden DSMX Satellit verbaut! L G Erik
I have one question will the new evo would it bind with my OMP hobby T6 transmitter???
Yes, it has OMP protocol built in
@@Johnny31297 great thanks. thanks for your awesome reviews the all new omphobby m2 EVO
@@Johnny31297 hello I just ordered my Omphobby m2 EVO can't wait to Arrive
Hallo Jonas, du erwähnst im Video, das man die neuen Hauptrotorblätter auch auf dem M2 Explore nutzen kann, aber dafür das FBL-System anpassen muss. Kannst du eventuell die anzupassenden Werte nennen und deren Änderung. Des Weiteren ist die Frage, wohin man dann die Gaskurven am M2 Explore verschieben sollte? Könntest du hierzu bitte eine Information geben? Gruß von einem MFC Coburg - Fan
Hi Hans Peter, das FBL Setup findest du im Segment ab 14:50, sind also die gleichen wie für den EVO. Gasgeraden habe ich keine konkreten da ich aktuell keinen Heli so fliege, aber du kannst die Drehzahl ca. 10% absenken im Vergleich zu den kürzeren Blättern 👍
@@Johnny31297 Hallo Jonas, vielen lieben Dank für die schnelle Antwort, das hilft mir sehr weiter! Du bist spitze mach weiter so!
Und komm mal wieder auf unseren Flugplatz beim MFC Coburg, das würde uns sehr freuen!
do the M2 V2 feathering shafts and servo horns work with the M2 evo ?
Yes, same parts 👍
Awesome! =^/,..,^=
Now, I know what parts to get, to put together as an upgrade kit for my OMPHOBBY M2 V2.
Just an idea: Perhaps OMPHOBBY themselves could do an M2 EVO upgrade kit for those that want to upgrade their M2 helicopters.
They are doing that, will be available shortly!
@@Johnny31297 Excellent! =^/.^=
jonas do i need to buy the futaba sat to use ur setup?
Either SFHSS or DSMX, or modify the setup file accordingly for your preferred Rx. OMP protocol is too limited.
@@Johnny31297 i'm trying to import the file to my radio but i can't figure it out. could you help me
Can't wait to get one but at this time it's all out of stock 😭😭
Finally I got one Omphobby m2 EVO waiting on it its on the way. got the yellow one can't wait to get my hands on it nice looking EVO
pika pika
Acheter pour moi
Just once I want to see a video of an unboxing and maiden flight where it SLAMS into the ground just hovering like mine did. Every single review ends in some kind of professional stunt flying making it look like its less than impossible to fly.
I'd recommend you should get some simulator time in before trying to fly in real life. Will save you a lot of money.
@@Johnny31297 I've flown a lot "standard" but never a 3d. First time was an electrical issue from a faulty motor out of the box and second was purely my fault because zero throttle is halfway now not all the way down. are there any sims for playstation that I can use the zorro or only PC?
i think the helicopter with the servo geometry like a Blade CFX or Fusion or Goblin would be much better.. ich miss this by this helicopter...
Not needed, the M2 has much more precise mechanics which automatically makes it fly 10x better than the microheli you mentioned
@@Johnny31297 Not needed...not needed....It bothers me that a beautiful and precise helicopter like this OMP M2 doesn't have this geometry. Just because the manufacturer wants to save. I still want this geometry, and if I have to make the parts myself on CAD or CNC....this heli is worth it...
@@rupertmr Then do it, looking forward to seeing your solution
Cannot see this video. It won't load. but all your other videos work fine. Waste an hour trying to watch it. Pain the ass.
You are visually impaired, so how can you control this machine without crashing???
I'm not visually impaired, how did you get to that conclusion? My eyes work just fine, but thank you for your concern 😂
Gabor, haha... this heli to the novice looks like it is 'out of control' but in fact what you are seeing is the art and the ability to fly in full 3D...........
