Absolutely nothing boring about flying a collective pitch RC heli from a fixed position; right from these cheap little buggers, up to the big electric, gas, nitro, and turbine powered ones. It's all engaging and requires maximum focus. Of course the adrenaline rush with the big ones is a huge fix on its own. And no, no one should ever try walking while flying a collective pitch RC helicopter. It's dangerous, and very much frowned upon. Do that at an RC flying club and they would have your hide.

My first chopper was a 350 class bird I had nearly 8 years ago. For the life of me, could never fly it. Then, started my interest in quadcopters. 7 years and I'm a pretty good quadcopter pilot. Purchased a flybar brushless WL Toys V912 just recently.. I guess my quadcopter skills made it easy to fly. Indoors that is. Today, did some flying around the house outside and nosed it in the ground. Broke a few connection links in the main rotor. I think a combination of the cold temp and losing power. Do you find the collective pitch birds do better with handling the main rotor tilting and gaining speed without losing altitude? Also, I have a rule of thumb on quads... Want to fly outside? Got to go minimum of 2 cell for the power. IMO, anything one cell is just under powered..

Hello John, in this video you mentioned that this helicopter would not be good for beginners learning to fly as it has some fragile parts. I have recently gotten into the hobby using a coaxial helicopter (syma s111g) and am looking to take a step up and try to learn to fly collective pitch. Do you have any recommendations for me on which models would be good to start with? I much prefer a machine that actually looks like a helicopter which is why I have gravitated towards the XK models. I appreciate any recommendations that you can provide, thank you.

Hi John, a little story/question for you. My cousin bought a K123 from Motion RC, but they must have gotten a bad batch. On the first one that I set up and flew for him the tail motor would go out sporadically in flight on only the second or third pack. I was able to land somewhat softly the couple times it happened while flying circuits around my yard. The second K123 he got after the other was returned had the same problem, I set it up, test flew it a couple times just hovering around and a few days later he flew it and had the same thing happen! Except this time it crashed hard and the swashplate popped apart. Any idea on if it would be the motor, or the board? The first one had the wires out of the back of the motor damaged when the factory installed it, the second heli looked fine though.

Hi John, great video and thanks for your amazing website. I am right now in the point of jump from 4ch to 6ch. I am right now looking for a proper rc radio. Do you think an open tx radio like the t16 or the taranis is it too difficult for a beginner? I really like to thinker with all the computer and coding things. Have you added or planed to add how to use and setup helis in open tx in your ebooks? Thank you so much for your amazing work.
@Rchelicopterfun5 жыл бұрын
Hi Marco. There's no question the Open TX learning curve is fairly steep (at least I sure thought it was); but if you are into that kind of stuff, you might find it a piece of cake. As I recommend to anyone thinking of getting into OpenTX, the best thing you can do is spend a good deal of time at the Open TX university website. open-txu.org/ If the info makes sense and appeals to the inner RC nerd in you, then you should have no problem. I'm about 20 months now into my OpenTX journey and I'm still figuring out cool stuff you can do with it. Just like learning to fly a CP heli, learning Open TX is a "many stages" learning process - my anecdotal experience with it anyways. Collective pitch setup is the same on an OpenTX radio as it is with any radio. Pitch curves, throttle curves, dual and exponential rates, channel output, channel centering, and channel reversing are all the same. If you can setup a collective pitch heli on a traditional computerized radio, you can set one up on a radio running Open TX. The main difference is in how the information is displayed, and the insane amount of flexibility and customization you have the ability to access. As just one example, 32 programmable curves are available if you wish with anywhere from 2 points up to 17. Hope that helps a bit.

Would You Say This Is Very Durable/Crash Resistance?
@Rchelicopterfun5 жыл бұрын
It's not bad for what it is, but it's scale, and scale detail is certainly more fragile and less crash resistant than a robust pod & boom heli of the same size & power, with more efficient two blade head such as the XK K100 or K110. Scale detail is fragile, no way around that.

I was using the Phillips screwdriver wondering “what the heck”. Oh my crappy eyesight. Lol. Thanks for the hex tip. Mine came with one.

can it do a normal hover for more than 2 seconds?

Of course. 16:05 to 16:30 for example.

@@Rchelicopterfun hmmm pretty wobbly for hover. Not precise at all in my opinion. I guess thats the drawback for being so small.

Is this a good learner model?
@Rchelicopterfun5 жыл бұрын
For learning collective pitch, I would stay away from a scale bodied heli due to the added fragility they have. A more robust/crash resistant pod & boom style heli like XK's K100, K110, or K120 would be a better over all one to first learn on.
