That is the best coolest rc helicopter ever

Good stuff Dom, love this model!! Really would like to get one soon. The olive drab is my favorite.

[@EssentialRC]

I'll fly it outside tomorrow to see how it behaves.

Essential RC always bringing amazing content! Looking forward to watching this video and hope you’ve been having a good day man, Love your videos and have a good 2025!

Thanks buddy. That's very kind. 👍 Try my best. Given up the day job and focussing on Essential RC now. Living the dream ! Appreciate your support.

[@Razordon]

A detailed and wonderful video!! 🤩Thank you so much!

[@EssentialRC]

You are so welcome!

[@kafkent6727]

Good video thanks..... The UK is a bit chilly for outdoor flying at the mo 🤣

[@EssentialRC]

Tell me about it. It's bearable when the Sun is out and when I'm wearing thermal socks, fleeced trousers, heated jacket and wooley hat. Then it's fine 🙂

[@kafkent6727]

@EssentialRC I've got a new F08 im waiting to fly......down in North Kent, maybe a bit warmer next week !

[@TheRCVolt]

Do you know if they have changed any electronics in this version as the original ones had fly away issues which is why i have not got one, was hoping they bring out an updated v2 version? Great content btw love the channel.

[@EssentialRC]

Thanks. It doesn't specifically mention its upgraded or improved on the electronics. Will try it outside in next 1 to 3 days. 😉

@@EssentialRC Mine flew fine but after 10 or so flights the fly away occurred and I had to buy a new board. Have flown it a few times after but that's about it. The fly away made me scared of this model unsure it may happen again. First time with the RC ERA heli's this has happened and I own other's and continue to buy new ones like the RC ERA Bell 206. I recently purchased the XK K170 UH60 1/74th scale.

​​@@EssentialRC this is also a concern of mine after seeing some of the early videos of this particular model. Hope to see some info on this concern because I really want this model soo much more than any other of their offerings. I can't help but eyeball it every time I visit their website at BG.

Would have liked to have seen it upgraded to direct drive.

[@EssentialRC]

Yes. As you infer it is geared brushless.
