Mine flies awsome! I love it..

[@O.L.D_RC]

So I got the bnf version and know there are 2 ways to bind it. One for the rtf and one for a computerized tx. She is fast and agile, stabilized modes are weird to me, but if the 2 beginner was probably better. Intermediate doesn't spool up until you lift the stick but the blades are negatively pitched. It will fly down fast if not careful. Full acro is very reactive, but spools up as expected so is predictable. Once you yet the feel though, you can easily flip it in an average sized room. Fun vid you two! Cheers

[@jordyjords1928]

This channel is awesome

[@johnnuske2878]

I'm learning to fly the Nano S3. I laminated a sheet of A4 paper as a helipad with a nice circle and a printed "H" inside. Trouble landing on it as it is a smooth surface with a nice amount of ground effect. The helicopter would just slip off over the edge when landing. Had a bit of a think about this and thought what if; Some thin bublewrap glued to surface with rough side up and still see helipad features underneath might work to negate the ground effect. IT WORKS FOLKS. Thought I'd share this here.

[@josephtiani6145]

I bought a 230 s figuring it would be easier to fly being a little bit bigger and I was told with safe it’s good for learning...first time I took it out couldn’t figure out which switch was set to safe on my dx6 using the file I downloaded from the spektrum website. It went up and I tried to move it to the left it was so sensitive flipped right over and crashed into the grass. Tail bent and canopy cracked lol waiting on the new tail to give it a go again. Might pick this thing up to learn, seems way more durable!

[@bryanp4827]

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE SOME LARGER HELIS GUYS!

[@Damon0306]

[@keithwhisman]

The blade Nano S2 is the best first RC helicopter for anyone. It is easy to fly and can handle crashes like no other heli. It is very forgiving and can do a lot of 3D.

@@TheRcSaylors I have the WL Tech V911S as well, but have wanted to try a collective pitch heli, and one with maybe a bit better electronics than the V911S.

May not get much chance to try it until at least Thursday, since I have to be at work by 6:30 on work days.

[@spacedudespacedude]

Rc helis are my favorite blade is a great company I have almost all of them little ones are good to learn with because they can handle a crash but the bigger you go the easier and more stable they are once you're past the learning curve lol your always learning with a heli that's why I love them. But once you feel comfortable flying you get hooked. Dragonfly's always come to check out mine I think the sound is similar to there's

[@dkproductions3130]

You should do a video on a RC predator drone rtf

Nice video again 👍👍👍

[@TheRcSaylors]

Thanks Bobo 😃👍😎⚓

[@bry954rr]

Nano 2 is a fun heli. Pair to yr dx6 or higher and it is way more tame. Dual rate and expo adjustments makes it more managable in 3d mode. I dont even think the blade guys can do their stunts with the rtf controller. You never see them use the rtf tx in the blade commercial videos

[@TheRcSaylors]

Maybe that's what I need to do. Just bind to my hobby grade radio. Good idea 👍😎⚓

[@TRSDOS1]

first of all..i am hooked on your videos...but could you have a video on JUST the controller...can i buy one controller and use it on different things from trucks, planes,helo`s and i want to 3D print some things to control?

[@NeoIsrafil]

Yes, there are good higher end transmitters that you could bind to many many models. I use a Taranis, many people use Spectrum, or Futaba transmitters. Many hobby grade computerized Tx are capable of saving bindings and settings for tens or hundreds of RC vehicles.

[@TRSDOS1]

@@NeoIsrafil Thank you for your comment and i will check into this

[@gabeloftus9773]

I got mine this past Friday , I've crashed it about every time I've flown it , so far I've broken the swash plate 3 times , superglue is my best friend right now , but hay that is exactly why I bought this little bird to learn on , instead of tearing up a multiple hundred dollar bird , I'll learn on this one first , today was my first time to get it inverted and of course I crashed it into the neighbors house and broke the swash plate again , but that's OK I'm stoked I got it inverted for the first time , 👍😎

[@spacedudespacedude]

Try flying forward not just hovering learn to fly forward in big figure eights do that till you fill comfortable then try doing that faster with landing and taking off in the middle then you can move on to inverted flight

[@tomkoller749]

I have the nano, and this is the best beginner😊 i lovit this thing

[@daisygoon]

I had a Blade Nano CPX, that I adored, I flew it to death, Literally, fun but squirrely, that was my last attempt at CP helis, It just became to expensive for me, (A novice) to keep in the air. I learned on a MSR, then the 200SRX, Do you think the Nano S2 would be a good choice for someone who has general fixed pitch flight ability?

[@RobisonRacing68]

Nine years ago I failed miserably with helicopters and moved to multirotors and then on to fixed wing. I'm probably an advanced fixed wing pilot now and it bothered me that I failed so much that I recently started up heli's again. I'm better than I was 9 years ago thankfully and you probably will be too. Give it a shot :)

[@daisygoon]

@@RobisonRacing68 Thanks bro, I will give it a go.

[@spacedudespacedude]

Tighten your blades a little just enough so they don't fall when you hold it to the side but still loose enough so they give if you wreck that will make it more stable and not wiggle around so much when you fly

[@TheRcSaylors]

That is a great tip, thank you!! Still learning a lot about Helis. Looking forward to learning more 👍😃😎⚓

[@spacedudespacedude]

@@TheRcSaylors another thing that makes the little helis fly better is if you have the landing gear that holds the 150mah battery you can use the landing gear for the heli that's a little bigger that holds a 200mah battery just that little bit more wight helps a lot for stability and the bigger battery adds just a little more head speed so it still has the same power to wight ratio they fly a lot smoother if you do those two things but for 3d flight use the highest c rating 150mah battery you can find I use lectron pro 45c in mine they work great

[@spacedudespacedude]

@@TheRcSaylors another thing I do is I'll use my Dremel tool to cut down the carbon fiber shaft that the head goes on just about 1/16 you'll have to cut the notch a little down to this will give you more pitch don't know the elevation where you are but I'm in Colorado and and this helps a lot for me and it makes it faster for forward flight too when I fly with other guys they can't believe how fast mine is compared to there's they think I replaced the motor with a bigger one but I only gave it a little more pitch

[@keithwhisman]

TheRcSaylors if you want to change the way it looks microheli.com makes a scale canopy for it. Not much but at least it looks a little bit like a real heli. A local giant scale heli guy used a MASH plastic model to make a scale heli using the blade Nano CPS.

[@TheLiamis]

I've had a go of a micro helicopter years ago. They are insanely twitchy. 1 mm of up and it smashes off the ceiling.

I fly my Blade S70 more often here in the yard than any other thing. This Nano will be my next RC. Also, that is the same transmitter that comes with the Sport Cub S RTF. I'm almost certain it just needs re-binding. If I bind my DX-6e to the Cub, I have to re-bind it to the one that came with the plane afterward.

I bought a XK-100 about a year ago... I'm STILL not very good with the 3D or advanced mode... xD it's still a pretty cool one to fly in beginner or intermediate mode...

[@lawrencewilliams1477]

YOU FLY LIKE A PRO AREADY THERE

[@mbrewer69]

The first flight mode is called flight mode "Z" , it is supposed to perform like a fixed pitch to help the beginner switching from the 120s. It has a pitch limiter in flight mode "Z" or flight mode 1 on the transmitter. Enjoy it, it's a great office flyer, believe me, I've had a lot of time to fly it this year.

[@emilianoescalante4418]

Hello, always check that the main gear is snugged up on the main shaft. It sometimes slips down and causes problems with pitch. Also, the reason rc helis jump up and down during flight when you hit the "crazy" switch (idle-up) is because they come pre-programmed with different throttle and pitch curves on different switch positions. Your Tx does sound kind of though. Good Luck!!!

[@Airbus-un6gp]

Looks fun! 😁🔱(closest thing I could find to an anchor lol)

[@jdizzforyou]

Hahaha you did it! I'm going to guess the click and move is the collective control. I'm guessing advanced means you have to control the collective and rpm with the vertical axis of the left stick... seems almost impossible with one axis of one stick though.

[@Animationboxx]

Like your videos

[@Rusty-Metal]

It's not if it can flip, it's if you can flip it! Plus do some piroflips, tic tocs, hurricanes and funnels! Practice with helis is paramount. Takes years to learn and master. A great challenge, but not for all.

[@jongonegone1262]

does it have to be faa registered ? does it state on the box how much it weighs ? nice video.

Nathan, practice on a sim. Then fly. Once you learn helis well, planes feel like a snooze fest and you'll be very comfortable with planes and really up your plane game. I still love planes, but they're just ok compared to helis. Larger 600 and 700 size helis are purely amazing.

Any OpenTX transmitter with a multiprotocol module can bind to Spektrum receivers such as the one in this helicopter. Brands are Jumper, Radiomaster, and Taranis. The multiprotocol modules can be internal or external and all are able to transmit and bind to DSM2 or DSMX protocols which is what Spektrum uses. OpenTX has a learning curve for setting up a model configuration although once you learn it it is easy.
