With due respect it is nice to see videos of someone who is not an ace and admits to struggling. Well done you give me hope! I am a late 70s self taught heli pilot, still struggling!!!

[@RC-Flight]

Agreed, there is nothing worse for a new come to a hobby, then to be watching a professional demonstrating a product.

I got a small blade heli last yr, I can fly in safe mode but can I hell get my head around the controls without it 😄 they look amazing, helis do, but I struggle like hell to fly them 😂 always full of admiration when I see one handling so well

[@EssentialRC]

I'm tired of using stability mode all the time. I like a challenge 😄

[@RC-Flight]

I’m new to helis, and have two collective pitch a GooSky S1 and the GooSky RS4. Yes you are right about the orientation part! I’ve been flying radio controlled airplanes since 1981 and have very little problem with an airplane’s orientation. But these helicopters are a different story!!! My brain is having a hard time catching on LOL 🇨🇦

This is an incredible helicopter and with the correct settings it can be exceptionally smooth flying. I liked it so much that I purchased a second one. Mine are BNF with Kensun satellite receiver bound to a Spektrum DX9. As someone else mentioned, the head speed is too high for beginner flight.....the throttle curve for the normal flight mode should probably be around 55%.

I like the brushless motor for the tail . Better than a high maintenance belt drive.

That canopy design is such a Goblin RAW 420 rip off! 😂 And actually flying a helicopter even if it's in stability mode is such a rewarding feeling. I don't get all these GPS helis that do a stunt at the press of a button. It's way more rewarding doing it by yourself. I have recently started doing some ugly flips with my helis. And that's after 4 years of doing circuits and figure 8's. 😅

Good job 👍 Were you able to get the bluetooth setup app to work? Tried mine with many different devices but the app can’t seem to be able to connect properly… the company does not seem to be in a rush to fix / support it unfortunately…

[@EssentialRC]

I did but it wasn't needed. I had problems knowing what curves to setup but once they sent me some sample model files for my TX16S I was good.

[@MrBvbike]

Thanks for the info. Too bad they sometimes rush the models out without the proper information included… I’ll try your suggested settings (from your video). The setting it came with ( mine included the jumper T20 tx) make it very twitchy.

[@EssentialRC]

@@MrBvbike Still very sensitive with my setup. I'm gradually dialling it down. Just got very easy with it on first few flights. Adjust to your taste.

[@MrBvbike]

I’ll have to work on the tuning on mine too. Just wish their app would work / connect properly, especially to set the head speed👍

[@EssentialRC]

@@MrBvbikeI did that with a 3 point throttle curve. Don't understand why you would need the app for that.

[@patrick-hein]

When purchasing the BNF version, is an sbus receiver included or do I need to buy one?

[@EssentialRC]

No receiver included. I used a Spektrum DSMX satellite receiver.
