Most affordable way to get into Collective Pitch Helicopters? Goosky S1 and Radiomaster Transmitter

[@davidrivero7943]

Flyes just like a bigger Bird ,what ppl say & I would not know since I've been Flying c/p Micros on - off for 10 yrs. This one is amazing ,great build & low parts count. Backyard Flights daily @ any time is main reason I choose Micros.

i love the omp m1 and m2. never had a goosky but i only heard good things about them too

We need a video on how to program boxer on Goosky 1&2

[@douglasdarby8584]

Great video… Great way to get started without spending a bundle….

I love my S1. My favorite helicopter because I can fly it in my yard daily, which I i do, and it's capable of any maneuver that I can throw at it. Highly recommended, even for beginners (with basic flight sim experience).

They say perfect practice makes perfect. With little helis you are getting good at them, but the translation to handling bigger helis with more mass does not transfer correctly and will possibly build bad habits that would be hard to break.

Happy Thanksgiving Alex !!

[@MARKLINMAN1]

Good stuff here, thank you.

[@Ariautoace]

Firstly, thank you for this video, it has helped me a lot. How did you guys program the self levelling mode? Thank you for your time (trainer mode). I watched other videos on how to set it up. I just need that part. I do need that trainer mode as I am returning to the hobby and will be also spending time on the simulator. Thank you for your time.

Hey Alex. What about telemetry for the battery? I have a TX16S and I hope I can at least see the battery level to setup alerts but I heard there is no telemetry with the Goosky S1 with the Futaba protocol?

[@scottkelly2200]

Do you have a programing and radio set up video?

[@bluecavemen]

How do program it to the rc? And which switch do you change mode ? And what the flight time on the helicopter

[@legorj35]

1:57 But ELRS is better and can do Sbus so it will work if you put a ELRS RX in it

[@streetforcegp2]

can you show your setup with the radiomaster boxer please?

[@Adean6403]

I'll try and get that. I just got a radiomaster tx16 and I think he also sold the boxer for the tx16 but i'll find out

[@iwontreplybacklol7481]

Do not get the boxxer. It's not a good radio and the screen is just horrible. If there is one 'budget' radio I'd recommend these days it's frsky.

[@turionb1408]

@@iwontreplybacklol7481i use the boxer for fpv drones and omp m1 and m2 helis. put some ag01 gimbals in it and its awesome. why do you think its bad? never had any problems. for bigger helis i wouldn’t use it too. i use a mikado vcontroll. what do you use?

[@iwontreplybacklol7481]

Better to get a bigger model. More stable and better visibility. Is it more expensive up front? Yes, but my experience tells me after crashing the little heli much more than you would a big one, in the end it probably is a wash and a whole lot of extra hassle and frustration in the end. Also this hobby aint cheap! Better get used to spending money and risking it all every flight. Also, Even as a experienced rc pilot myself, these small helis can be a handful even to me and can get away very very quick and become a speck. For a beginner once it gets away from them, it's in the dirt. Just get at least a 500 and practice on the sim. These days it is insanely cheap and easy to learn to fly RC Helis. I started two and a half decades ago, spent the equivalent of $2k USD on a 30 size heli with a non heading hold gyro (much harder to control) that I had to learn how to build all on my own and program and then put on trainer sticks and scoot it around because sims were still basic as basic can be and was very expensive. Now in hindsight, the few crashes I did have in the beginning probably wouldn't of happened had I trained on a sim first, even though it was super basic polygon shapes.

[@iwontreplybacklol7481]

I will also add this, I saw a kid who practiced for 6 months straight on the sim and first day out on a 50 size heli was inverted the first flight..the sim is the absolute most valuable tool one can get, hands down full stop.

[@iwontreplybacklol7481]

Also one more add, back about a decade ago when the MCpx was out there was this guy who was trying to get better, but felt stuck and was about ready to give up the hobby. We all finally talked him past the fear of spending the money to get a bigger heli and later on he thanked us because he realized how much the small heli was holding him back.
