Outdoor Flight Review: RC Era C138 - Bell 206 Jet Ranger with Stock Radio

Flying the RC Era C138 - Bell 206 Jet Ranger RC helicopter outdoors with the stock radio as you have requested. The RC Era C138 maintains superb control outdoors, offering a highly scaled look and longer flight times thanks to the lower rotor head RPM when using stock radio. But For even better rudder control, i recommend flying with the Radiomaster TX16s radio.

Wow !! Had not watched any of your videos for a few yrs . Glad you are still making them . Seems like you’re now living in a different country . Keep up the great videos

"Ever growing mountain of RC ERA transmitters..."😂. You're the BEST!🎉

I loved this as well! Ali has the best sense of humor!!

[@alishanmao]

You rock!

[@alishanmao]

it wasn't humor, it was a truth brother hahahaha. Love ya all. and we all RC Era helis owners shall make thy holy rc era transmitter tree :)

I like the Transmitter Tree idea! 😂

Another good video Ali

[@alishanmao]

Much appreciated

[@RCCopterLove]

She looks so sweet in the air! Many nice little details! And I am really impressed of the performance! Great flight!! I love your idea with the tree made of RC Era transmitters. Once a year, at christmas, you can switch them all on and it will be very blinky in your yard!!

[@alishanmao]

Thank you very much! yes absolutely, they will make a great Christmas tree LOL :) but man what a waste of batteries it would be. 4 per radio. will take a lot of time

[@mauroruggeri3518]

Grazie,Alì!

[@alishanmao]

weclome brother

[@goldenmanuever1176]

Ali, I got mine today. Blue, no optical flow, upgraded transmitter, and three batteries. All it required was a little fine-tuning and it’s a nice little flyer. It’s no OMP, Goosky, or even YX, but well worth the $70USD.

[@alishanmao]

totally agree with you brother. well worth the money. glad RC Era is keeping prices right

[@lstruggy]

Ready to pull the trigger from Amazon shipped w tax red w 5 batteries $155 atm am I getting ripped off or no? Where can I get one for $70?

Great little heli !! I got both blue n red ,,, thanks for the informative videos !!! I am a little confused over the radiomaster boxer ,,, my question is will it bind to eachine e 135 red ,,, i was thinking of getting the boxer to condense down all the radios we accumulate over time ,, thanks Tom

[@alishanmao]

if eachine is using same RC Era protocol it should bind

[@joseforero2380]

Hello, thank you very much for your video. I love your reviews of helicopters. I wanted to ask you how it went with this helicopter? I am interested in buying it but I know it comes with brush motors. Personally, I haven't had good experiences with brush motors, they always burn out after about 30 flights, especially the main motor. Greetings.

[@alishanmao]

so far its doing well, for its price you know you can only get brush motors

[@Swole_Gecko]

I saw another video where they showed a button press combo you can press to change the rotor speed from three settings (separate from speed mode). On stock RTF radio

[@Mikeylikesit1968]

Yep, I saw that as well

[@alishanmao]

I will try to do a video on this.

[@Djojos13]

Je suis entièrement d’accord avec toi! j’ai deux modèles RC ERA et sait deux radio en trop car je me sers uniquement de la TX16s 😅 qu’ils sortent leurs modèles en PNP!!! Pensons à notre planète et à l’écologie !

[@alishanmao]

make a Tree of radios hahahah :D

[@yakacm]

I just got this heli yesterday, did you notice on the box art it shows all the helis RC ERA make, but it's also got about 10 pictures that are just silhouettes? I'm assuming the silhouettes are for models that are going to be released in the future? If so there's a Chinook, an Osprey and a couple of gunships, 1 of which looks like it has retractable skids! I'd love to get me an Osprey, although if they do make it, I'd guess it will just be heli mode, to get a model to change to aircraft mode, and keep it at a reasonable price will be tricky.

[@alishanmao]

i too think so those silhouettes are the future models.

[@madvette74]

Can this heli be bound to a futaba T6J?

[@Truth.Love.Liberty]

I wanna see the c189 with optical flow and the radiomaster

[@alishanmao]

hmm i do fly with Radiomaster now and optical flow keeps on

[@Truth.Love.Liberty]

@ but with a C189???

[@Roseybombs]

Hi Ali , i just got my bell206. With optical flow, i tried flying it in the house and it is all over the place , i heard you mention you can disable optical flow, i may try that because i dont have a better transmitter to use and they seem intimidating. Can i just unhook it? Love your channel

[@alishanmao]

Hi, yes you can easily disable it during flight. or simply disconnect it. there is a complete video here for Channel members only. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4TSfXWPq7ejjbM

[@mickmuzzmkmz1628]

When you said you wished they would release their helis PNP, I think you may have meant BNF. PNP is plug and play, and doesn't include the receiver. BNF is bind and fly. On the subject of PNP, I wonder if you changed the receiver and added a multi axis gyro to the C189, would that allow it to be programmed with the TX16s to do basic 3D flight?🤔 Maybe you can do a video on it.

[@alishanmao]

Thanks

[@jackheverson5710]

one question...what goggle analogico you recommend for fpv?what the best for you thanks

[@Richard-3068]

Hi Ali, Buddy with Richard, I have seen so many videos of the great Helicopter from RC ERA Bell 206, it looks great, also one of my favorite Helicopters. I couldn't resist, but it's a pity that I now have it without a camera so it won't stay. hang still, but trimming is possible, of course, ordered from Banggood. I like it so much that I ordered it again, it is also on its way with a camera underneath it. Let's see what the difference is. I'm still thinking about ordering the Radio Master, I think it's not expensive either, around €257, I have Spektrum at home, these cost €350, big difference. I am happy with my Bell 206 red version. I hope they will also release the AirWolf, that is my biggest dream. Ali wishes you the best of luck. making your videos. as always Ali Happy flying. Buddy. 🖐😃👍 🎬📷 🪂

thank you :) have fun buddy

Great video. Guess c189 handles winds better than this c138. Thx

[@alishanmao]

I am really confused of all these numbers. which heli is that? MD500?

[@frankl8440]

@@alishanmao yes. C189 = md500

[@BESTPAL2]

I throttle up but rotor don't turn. Only when I press take off then it climbs up. Is mine defective?

[@alishanmao]

there is a way to unlock the motors, both sticks down and out.

[@mithrandir1313]

will it bind with Futaba FHSS?

[@alishanmao]

no, unless if you put in a SHFSS based receiver

can this helicopter disable stabilization mode?

not normal. check your main rotor assembly and main rotors,

[@babyjoker8344]

Got mine the other day and it did not fly. It would shake and shimmer and drift off. Tried 2 different remotes and got same effect.

[@alishanmao]

Thank you, yes correction, now in UAE the beautiful Ras Al Khaima. A peaceful and really nice emirates in UAE. we live close to clear water beach, good for snorkling and scuba diving, at one side and majestic highest peaks of UAEs rocky mountains, best for paragliding and rc rock crawling. even can do real vehicle rock crawling, off roading, mountain climbing, hiking, you name it. Best place in my life. We love it here. Goodbye to China for good, because living conditions are getting tougher in China, its nothing but a surveillance state and besides, they forced us to leave the country just like they did to many other foreigners. We are at a better place now. welcome to UAE. come to visit us when you come here. you will find everything here, from Off roading in beautiful vast deserts, to majestic mountains to beautiful beaches and much more.
