Feature Packed $100 RC Helicopter! RTRHobby C138 Unboxing, Test, Review

[@fellers1983]

I have one of these.. calibrate it by pushing down and out on both joysticks before you fly.. helps out a ton

[@RoadsideRC]

Thanks! I'll give that a shot!

[@GTRaycer]

"Why is it doing that?" Well, first off, there was wind enough to move tree branches so it's not a surprise that a 1 ounce micro heli was drifting. Also, you never mentioned trim so I'm guessing you never trimmed it. I have one of these on the way and my expectation is that it will fly just like my Eachine E120 does.

[@RoadsideRC]

Trim is great if the helicopter is drifting in a single direction - this was clearly not. My best guess is the gyro either needs recalibrated or is just somewhat sloppy. More testing to come! Hope you enjoy it when you get it!

[@thomasblair7996]

Great video, nice helicopter, was great to hear you all having fun, what a fly!!

[@RoadsideRC]

Yes! We had a blast!

[@DanoSlingz]

I just got the blue one today! My first chopper. Had to hover in the house because it was windy today and I didn't want to tear it up. Hopefully tomorrow I'll fly it for real 😎✌️🚁

[@RoadsideRC]

Fly it indoors! You are a brave man! I would be bouncing off of the walls!

[@DanoSlingz]

RoadsideRC@@RoadsideRCI just hovered and moved it around some to get used to the controls. 😁

[@RoadsideRC]

Thank you!

Hello. what does the switch "mode...* next to the gas handle mean? What is it for? helicopter made in 3D? Flips?

[@RoadsideRC]

It has 3 speed levels.

[@lynsmith1096]

I noticed the 2 staballiser arms are missing off the Helicopter. I think thats why it did not fly properly.

[@RoadsideRC]

Maybe! Good eye!

[@robinkesterlives]

I live near an airport so I cant fly these at home or in my area but they look super fun! I had a heli years ago, it took off into the trees and was stuck. I stick to the ground as a result lol :D BTW as others mentioned, you should revisit this and trim it up so it runs more as expected :D

[@RoadsideRC]

I think more to be done with it for sure! Couldn't tell if it was just a trim issue, or if the gyro kept it unstable...or the wind. More flying to be done!

[@robinkesterlives]

@@RoadsideRC lol, the miserable three! :D

[@ddavidson0404]

Lmao great video i was laughing out loud...at lunch time.. 😅

[@RoadsideRC]

Ha! Glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@nieko3038]

Crashed too many helicopters in the simulator. It’s real hard to control.

[@RoadsideRC]

They are!

[@surfside75]

I will admit, like it!😂

[@RoadsideRC]

:) We had fun!

[@billyb5057]

looks a good helicopter good features see in your review and test looks fun *thumbs up👍Au💯full view always*

[@RoadsideRC]

It may not have been the best - but it certainly gave my kids and I a good time!

[@JBSATE]

😮😮😮parece muito bom ,esse e o pro..ou comun

[@RoadsideRC]

Olá! É o modelo padrão. Os links estão na descrição do vídeo.

[@alexaguilar1668]

Read instructions. Has trim

[@RoadsideRC]

Yes! That works if it is consistently drifting in one direction. This changed by the second!

[@troyendicott973]

I am no expert, I have a couple of these little helicopters, any wind will make it difficult to fly, you could try calibrating it, the more I fly them the better I get, just have fun👍👍

[@RoadsideRC]

Thanks! I appreciate it!

[@kerrylewis-qj6li]

mine only flies for about 5 seconds then lands, brand new out the box, battery is charged, then lights starts blinkin fast vesus solid lit

[@RoadsideRC]

Oh man. That is rough. Are you 100% sure the battery is fully charged before you take off?

[@goldslinger]

Fly this 1 ounce heli in less than 5 mph winds and You’ll find it flys perfectly. Not a single heli in its class would fly worth a crap in any wind, really. Gyro calibration, trim indoors where no wind, then fly outside. Trim in factory debug mode, not slide switches. Lubrication on swash helps, too. Do a fair review.

[@RoadsideRC]

Sounds like you really know a lot about rc helicopters! Do you think the average person who is willing to plop down $100 on a super-budget heli like this one will know the things you suggest? Fair is all about perspective!

[@goldslinger]

@@RoadsideRC most People with common sense would. You talk like 100 bucks is alot. Entry into this hobby before advanced 'even an idiot can fly it' electronics came out srarted at a grand.
