With the special offer on at the moment the BNF is only 4 euros cheaper!

[@michaelsx5430]

Nice idea to land it like a 747. :-)

[@DutchRC]

Haha :D at the time I did A LOT of heli simulator flying, and out of boredome sliding landings was one of the things I often tried ;)

[@sirhilsam]

Really nice command of the sticks. Liking what I'm seeing so far with this heli. Big fan of WLtoys and XK

[@DutchRC]

Thanks brother! I hope I didn't make things look Toooo easy :$ And YES! I would like to review something similar from XK as well :) (I do have 2 new planes in from XK though ;))

[@DiscoverRC]

nice flight Dutch - agree it looks like a very good beginner heli, nice and stable. Good work as always, have a great weekend!

[@DutchRC]

Thanks brother :) It IS a bit difficult to assess how difficult / easy any rc is to use once you have some experience.. But well yeah.. I Think this is a relatively easy entry into heli flying :) Cheers & have a great weekend yourself!

[@4thGloryMonday]

great job mr dutch! thumbs up and always wathcing

[@DutchRC]

Thank you very much brother! Highly appreciated & glad you liked the video :)

[@BillMRC]

Nice copter, demo & sliding landing Roeland :-)

[@DutchRC]

Thanks mr. Bill :) Gehehe yeah.. it kinda was the best way to land I think in that amount of wind ;)

[@mikesrccorner]

Hey buddy nice heli for $100 bucks. Looks like a really nice flying machine, looks smooth. I'll be interested to see the other flight modes in the next videos in the series. thanks for sharing! cheers!

[@DutchRC]

Thank You for stopping by buddy :) Yeah.. it's actually on sale at the moment, which makes it a Good deal I think (for people that are into heli's) .. Same here! Waiting for some better weather over here ;) Cheers!

[@ErnestPJay]

Idle up in my understanding is turning the left switch towards you in the transmitter. Thats idle up- meaning you can so 3d stunts... Thats very clear, its even printed on the transmitter.

[@satorrotas]

Great helicopter , nice piloting !!

[@DutchRC]

Thanks man :) this sure is fun to fly And something different then all them quadcopters huh? ;)

[@serressnakehunterofgreece5133]

Nice video my friend ....Hello Dutch I have a question to you? I never have fly an 6 CH before Can I really fly in Idle up mode without to go in 3D? How is this possible ? I was thinking that I can fly only in 6G mode or in 3D mode with using the Idle up switch !!!....If I fly in Idle Up mode in what position must be the Transmitter sticks? Please let me know , I waiting for your answer !!! Thanks bro with respect your Greek friend nice to meet you !!!.............

[@DutchRC]

Hi there sir! :) well yes that is definately possible.. If you leave all switches in the UP position (away from you) and don't touch the button on the bottom-right of the transmitter.. The helicopter will be in 6G mode.. That is the easyest way to fly it :) Cheers from the Netherlands! :D

[@ShenRC]

Nice video, I like this one looks like a good heli!

[@DutchRC]

Thanks buddy :) Yes sir.. so far so good I'd say.. I don't think it would like crashing, but well.. that kinda goes for all / most heli's :)

[@Zeaiclies]

The idle up switch is useless unless you are in 3G mode, there is no need for idle up unless doing 3D as it give negative pitch to the rotors.

[@DutchRC]

Well.. I don't really agree.. You allso have more control over the altitude, but agreed.. It's used more for 3D flying indeed :)

[@superskullmaster]

DutchRC Adventures you don’t agree because you are wrong.

[@ErnestPJay]

What do you mean by "idle up" mode in this heli? What did you touch in the transmitter to make it "idle up"? What I understand in a idle up is turning off the gyro or the 6g mode to do some stunts. I think you are using the word idle up in a wrong demo. I see the way you fly that you are not in a idle up mode but you keep on saying that you are in a idle up mode? Your title is misleading. Am i just confused or I am just a noob? Please help me. Thank you from Philippines

[@fadvlogboy3187]

nice flight i achily bout one and i cant wait to get it but thanks for the video because now i know more about how to fly and you gave information on how it flyes

[@DutchRC]

Thanks brother :) Hope yours works out well for you as well! Let me know :)

[@RCVHX22]

Very great flying my brother again, top notch vide Big like👍👍👍👍

[@DutchRC]

Thanks buddy :) Highly appreciated as allways! :D

[@knowhere2014]

Are there actually RC's you can Not fly? :O Well done man.. You made that look eeeeeasy

[@DutchRC]

Thanks bro! Highly appreciated man

[@alextenerife1008]

Hello Dutch. Always enjoy your reviews. I am looking to up grade in size from my wl toys v931, however, as I am still a novice pilot, would like your opinion on the tail motor. With my v931 the tail motor is problematic sometimes working sometimes not, even after a couple of replacements, therefore, did you have any tail rotor issues? Regards

[@DutchRC]

Howdy Alex :) I've actually flown my V950 a couple of times last weekend.. AND.. I have not replaced a single thing on mine so far (knock on wood).. So yep.. this is a nice step up :)

[@lewisreed8931]

my v950 right out of the box when i plugged it in the servo burned up in it had to order more is there better servos that fit the v950 with out modifying it

[@DutchRC]

I don't know as I don't have this heli anymore. But I would look for a users-topic on RCgroups for this heli.. I am sure possible replacement / upgrade servo's are mentioned in it :)

[@lewisreed8931]

thankyou for your reply

[@vzarou]

hi do you know the tail motor how many rpm speed

[@DutchRC]

it is is brushed motor I think but I really have no idea.. sorry :$

[@jamesbonde4470]

I'm a rank beginner, here, with this heli. I DO have a fair bit of hours on CP helies, the V977. I need to know WHAT IS Idle Up? What is it for? When would you USE it?

[@DutchRC]

regretably the terminology isn't used the same way by everyone, and some manuals mix things up as well.. Basically you can: a. fly (semi) fixed pitch, and in that mode you can't fly inverted.. b. fly Idle up / stunt demo / 3D mode.. you then controly your elevation with Pitch

[@EricLaermans]

Very nice review I was looking forward too! It flies great! Does it come out of the box like this?

[@DutchRC]

Thanks Eric :) Yep.. this was a completely Stock heli.. AND it is on offer at the moment as well :)

[@RC944jim]

Hi great video, i need your help i purchased one of these after watching your video. My problem my first 2 flights were uneventful both 10 min long, on my 3rd flight for some reason after taking off i had almost no right cyclic all other controls seem just fine. I put full right trim in the transmitter and it lifts off fine but when i try to bring the heli back to the right with right cyclic it doesn't respond. With throttle hold on i have full movement of the swash-plate moving the cyclic left and right. I'm hoping you or one of your many viewers can tell me what to do. Thank You Left cyclic works fine as does forward and back

[@DutchRC]

Howdy :) hmmm that is an awkward issue you have there.. Could it be 1 servo doesn't perform well anymore Under Load? What I mean is: when not in flight that servo would have an easy job tilting the swash, where it would have a harder time doing so in flight... I'm sure you have allready checked the center-position of the servo-arms, and the swash-plate?

[@RC944jim]

DutchRC Adventures Hi yes the swash plate seems fine it was flying just fine when I landed at the 10 min. mark. But I may swap a couple servos around to see if the servo is a problem. I sure hope not, it's brand new with just a couple 10 min. flights and no hard landings. Thanks for your reply.

[@DutchRC]

Well the Good things is: them servo's would not be expensive to replace.. The most important thing now is to find the real problem.. Hope swapping 2 servo's out will point you to the cause! You're welcome.. Good luck!

[@brettmccafferty7510]

Do you turn on the transmitter 1st then helli?

[@DutchRC]

yes.. in fact that goes for almost All RC's.. only on the cheap toy-grade things is it the other way around..

[@garyvale8347]

what was the wind speed that day? what type battery are you using and what is the average flight time? looks like you had trouble maintaining a constant altitude, was that the case...if so was it the heli or because of the wind? thanks....

[@DutchRC]

Howdy Gary :) I had about a 3BF wind that day, with 4BF gusts.. So yes. that made it quite hard to fly anything reasonably smooth ;) I flew the heli on it's stock lipo, and I get flight times of 8-12 minutes depending on the type of flying...

[@garyvale8347]

would you recommend this heli for someone ( me, a beginner ) coming from a Blade 200 S?...thanks

[@DutchRC]

Yes for SURE.. at this price you wouldn't be tooo worried to crash it, which makes the flying more relaxing.. It's a well behaved heli I think..

[@RCTeamAustria]

nice

[@DutchRC]

thanks brother :)

[@mrpalandeng]

hey vraagje. linkerstick up down en links en rechts draaien. en rechterstick voor achter en zijwaarts links rechts?

[@DutchRC]

Ehm yep! Dat klopt inderdaad (in mode 2 zoals hij standaard ingesteld staat)

[@mrpalandeng]

DutchRC Adventures bedankt! topkanaal heb geabonneerd. ik wil vandasg mijn eerste cp bestellen. twijfel tussen dev977 en de v950. wst adviseer je?

[@DutchRC]

Dank je wel! :D Ik zou zelf zeker voor de V950 gaan (is ook in de aanbieding nu hè :) www.banggood.com/WLtoys-V950-2_4G-6CH-3D6G-System-Brushless-Flybarless-RC-Helicopter-RTF-p-1080417.html?p=TO251813974002015038 ) Afgezien van de prijs: een wat grotere heli vliegt altijd makkelijker & is beter te volgen in de lucht..

[@mrpalandeng]

DutchRC Adventures oke dan word dat hem!. even een vraagje. je hebt op de zender een knopje om hem van 3d naar normal mode te switchen. maar linksboven heb je een schakelaar van 3d naar idle mode. wat is het verschil?

[@DutchRC]

Ga ik in de volgende video over de heli uitleggen :) In et kort: met de 1e zet je de heli in Collective-pitch mode.. En met de andere zet je hem in 3D mode (zoals ik in Deze video vloog. kun je niet voorbij een bepaalde hoek maken)

[@S700KYFPV]

I was really looking forward to your follow up videos you mentioned on the Heli, but I take it you crashed it.

[@DutchRC]

I haven't.. I actually had 2 of them just in case I did crash it.. But well.. other stuff I wanted to do video's on got in the way I guess :$

[@S700KYFPV]

I'm so glad to here it is still in one piece. I am just starting my adventure into Heli's with this one, so, it you get the time I would look forward to those follow up videos.@@DutchRC

[@DutchRC]

Well good luck / have fun with yours then offcourse! I have to add that I did A LOT of simulator training for heli's.. That really really helps a lot.. (I use Aerofly RC7).. I had kinda expected Some new heli to review after this V950.. But nothing came up.. I think it's still one of the best trainer heli's (not to small so you can actually see what happens)

[@drestarss]

Hallo heeft jou heli geen pitch gevoeligheid probleem meer in 6 g mode? en hoe heb je dat opgelost?

[@DutchRC-RAW]

Howdy :) Om eerlijk te zijn heeft de mijne dat niet echt gehad, maar wellicht komt het gewoon door wat ik (qua gevoeligheid) gewend ben :$

[@drestarss]

Dat kan ook nog, maar je hebt geen andere servo's erin gedaan? en zou je deze helicopter aanraden na een coax esky lama v4?

[@DutchRC-RAW]

Nope.. ik heb em alleen geheel standaard gevlogen.. en Ja.. dit is zeker een leuke stap verder dan ja :)

[@drestarss]

Goed om te weten ,bedankt

[@mrpalandeng]

oke ik snap nu wat idle up is. puur positief en negatieve pitch. wat ik me afvraag is dat als je hem op 6g zet en idle up aan, kan je dan ook 3d vliegen?

[@DutchRC]

Ehmm nou nee.. idle up is dat je met je gas-stick het toerental van de motor kiest.. De blad-hoek (pitch) is dan min-of-meer steeds het zelfde.. Bij collective pitch vliegen is juist het toerental (min of meer) steeds het zelfde, en verander je de blad-hoek met je gas-stick..

[@mrpalandeng]

DutchRC Adventures hmmm dan snap ik het nog steeds niet, ik d8 dat je met idle up dus omhoog en omlaag gas kon geven. en zonder idle up dat als je stickomlaag is je heli stil staat. ik hoop dat je hier ooit een video over maakt. het zal wel duidelijker worden als ik de heli binnen heb

[@DutchRC]

Dat laatste scheelt Zeker :) dingen gewoon in et echt voor je zien is altijd duidelijker :) Hoe dan ook: als je met de stickomlaag de wieken stil hebt staan, zit je in Idle up mode.. Eigelijk is het precies andersom.. En yep.. als die wind es wat minder wordt, schiet ik nog een video over Collective pitch mode.. Om het makkelijk te onthouden: in *collective pitch* mode heb jij als piloot controle over de Pitch..

[@mrpalandeng]

DutchRC Adventures maar waarom noemen ze idle up mode dan 3d mode?

[@DutchRC]

Ik kom dat idd ook wel es tegen.. Ik zal es kijken hoe de modes in de manual van Deze heli genoemd worden.. Dat zal nog wel weer Anders zijn (om het makklijk te maken :P)

[@robsonleonardo4916]

Esse helicoptero e muito bom show nivel dos tops Trex Golbin .

[@DutchRC]

Ah yeah.. a Goblin is quite nice offcourse :) Allso 'a bit' in another price range :)

[@MikeRCChannel70]

Класс! Мне тоже такой едет :)

[@DutchRC]

Thanks Mike! :D ghehe yeah.. I know :)

[@ArcherAC3]

Hey mate, all good? Have you had any issues with the tail rotor and is it normal for it not to spin until I command right yaw / rudder movement? I've just made a video on what's going on with mine and I can't tell if this is supposed to be happening or not: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5KxqoqQg9CYp7s It randomly gives or doesn't give power to the tail rotor while the rudder stick is centered, turns on the tail rotor when applying right yaw and turns it off when applying left yaw. I did manage to fly with it for ~10 minutes after this video though, but I'm afraid it's faulty and it may become a problem soon.

[@DutchRC]

Halloa! sorry for the late reply :$ your comment somehow got marked as spam :$ hmm nope.. that is for sure Not normal.. without the tail-motor running the heli will just spin around it's axis.. that sounds like a calibration issue.. eighter of the radio, or the gyro (in the heli)

[@markvandesande8855]

Nice flight heli is ok but not my cup of tea old boy. I have issues with flying helicopters. They don't like me. Crash an burn lol.😃

[@DutchRC]

Thanks Mark :) Haha :D Yes.. flying heli's sure is different from flying anything ellse.. And a heli pilot that says he/she never crashed a few is just Lying :D

[@peterknap]

V950 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎,blade 230sV2 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍.

[@DutchRC]

not even a little bit in the same price range
