Rc helicopter kits are very straight forward these days. Very simple very cool

[@toddkoffler5681]

Sean, I think you’re honest review and build comments are gonna sell quite a few of these! Nice work!

[@HelidirectRC]

Thank you!! It’s a great kit!

[@LichaelMewis]

Hoping QC is good over the next few batch runs. I may order one in near future depending on community feedback. Either this or a Goosky RS7.

hello helidirect RC ,steam This company is a just beginning to grow innovative company, in fact, is the previous Tarrot, but from last year onwards to re-independence to start their own design and manufacture of helicopters, but due to the beginning of the establishment of the cost is limited and not as famous as other helicopter brands. But in mainland China steam's popularity is very high and the owner is a very innovative designer, this time the AK700 is to add a lot of his own thinking and innovation, I believe you can feel from the time of installation and flight. Finally, if you have any questions about steam, I can help, I visited steam in July last year.

Awesome! It’s a great Heli!

Thanks Sean for the nice build and review. I’m with you regarding the lackluster Chinese manuals. They don’t put a lot of emphasis or time into them. I do a lot of plastic model building as well as R/C cars and trucks. Historically throughout the industry, Tamiya has bar none the best instruction manuals out there dating back to at least the mid 1970s. They’re clean, crisp and easily readable with very little questions popping up. By far the worst hobby manual that I’ve ever came across was for my Thunder Tiger Raptor 90SE back in 2004.

[@HelidirectRC]

Totally agree!

[@scottbuck9348]

My first real rc helicopter build was a mid 90’s thunder tiger raptor 90 and I struggled every step of the way!

[@goldenmanuever1176]

@@scottbuck9348 Roger that! I had a 30 V2 60 V2 and then my 90 SE been there done that. I was running an OS 37 and 70 and a YS 91.

[@user-uz3gg6qz1q]

Amazing

[@HelidirectRC]

Absolutely!

[@LichaelMewis]

2:25 What kind of tool is that? Are they available for smaller heli's down to the 200 size on up?

[@LichaelMewis]

@@HelidirectRC that's awesome. Didn't know this existed. I've ruined a few feathering shafts trying to remove a loctite'd screw from one end. What other cool heli tools exist? I'm looking for something to adjust turnbuckles and not using plain pliers as they seem to scuff up the linkages. Also if someone had a good pair of ball link pliers that don't scuff up the swashplate when removing from the swash that would be cool.

[@andreabenvenuti7940]
