First flight of the Hughes MD-500E / RC ERA C189

Stock C189 flying using multi module v1.3.3.33 in a Radio master TX16S MKII.

Very nice model, and glad to know it works on RadioMaster. And thanks for all your work on the Multiprotocol-TX-Module!!!! (I've got my Boxer working on an Esky, thanks to you and a couple other YTer [AliShanMao and John Salt])

Sehr schönes Flugbild! Der Heli ist selbst für Mich als "ungelernter" Heli Freizeitflieger gut zu steuern selbst bei leichtem Wind .

[@zoridor16]

wonderful I liked it a lot! Do you think it is possible to install a flysky receiver and control? Is it possible to install a higher quality esc? I'm a little suspicious of the quality of the stock electronics... thanks for sharing

Superbe. Elicopter.

I have 30 years of RC experience. I bought this helicopter. It was defective upon arrival. Would not bind properly, very erratic. Put another set of new batteries in transmitter. Same issue. Would not calibrate. I am sending it back on Amazon for a refund. I do not like the throttle is spring loaded and sits middle position by default. What’s the point of flying a RC heli if it can take off and land itself. Yes, it can be overridden but throttle sits center by default requiring constant down pressure or it takes off like a rocket which defies RC heli flying which is largely about throttle control among other inputs. I feel like those features were added due to the transmitter having a spring loaded center position stick. That’s a terrible design. Very disappointed. I will say however, it looks awesome and I’m beyond bummed it’s defective. Unfortunately for $250 I will not be giving this copter another chance with a replacement. Ultimately, one is paying for looks with this chopper for the price and it’s abilities. It does look great though! Hopefully your experience with it is better than mine. Happy flying!

Great flying, nice scale heli! Thanks for al your efforts on the multi module. Which protocol do you use for this heli? Is there any documentation on channel mapping? Thanks! EDIT - from rcgroups post it looks like it might be E129 protocol, I’ll try it out. Thanks!

It kind of flies like the 186 the 187 is a lot faster takes a little bit more practice with the 187 at this how he looks really nice looks like it would fly like the 186

[@jayfleegle9455]

How do you purchase one?? Please let me know

[@philanthonyd9911]

Newbie here, is there a video or tutorial on how to program to bind it and is this possible for Futaba sfhss ?

[@hishifuku4687]

This very great RC, easy to control & realistic!

[@ahhobby2527]

Looks nice to fly. Was that manual take off and landing?

[@jeffrenman4146]

what a beautiful helicopter… I enjoyed watching your video thank you

[@olafwessel3545]

Ich habe den auch seit ein paar Tagen, schönes Teil, schön anzusehen und schön zu fliegen. Ist in so einer Halle bestimmt ein Vergnügen. Fliegt du ihn mit Ausschlag Stufe 1 ?

[@lcfflc3887]

it's loud lol, maybe less loud outside.

[@user-wp9mz]

Looks like I'm going to get one of them next

[@brucevennell810]

Where can I get one of those?

[@kowinator1]

Witziges kleines Teil. Fliegt echt schön👍

[@aureliusprimus]

Très beau vol ! S'agit-il du YU XIANG ? 😀

[@pascallanger]

Non c'est le RC ERA C189

[@aureliusprimus]

@@pascallanger Oui en effet j'ai confondu, je l'ai déjà vu sur d'autres vidéos. Il a l'air de bien voler, en êtes vous content ?

[@pascallanger]

@@aureliusprimus Seul le mode stabilisé est dispo comme sur tous les modèles RC ERA et la stabilisation est moyenne (XK fait beaucoup mieux). Par contre contrairement aux autres petits modèles, ils utilisent complètement le pas collectif et pas un simili avec des pales à incidences. Il vol plutôt bien en intérieur par contre en extérieur il aime moyennement le vent.

[@aureliusprimus]

@@pascallanger Donc dans un appartement il pourrait voler si je pousse votre raisonnement au maximum.... ?

[@pascallanger]

@@aureliusprimus oui
