Want to learn more about the hobby of RC helicopters? Please visit my website: www.rchelicopterfun.com Common comments about the K123 addressed: 1. What radio are you using? FrSky Horus X12S. 2. Correction. The bars on the boom are not "step rods" as I state in the video, they are VOR antennas. 3. Price? Click on the links in the description to find current pricing. 4. Is this a hobby grade RC helicopter? Yes - you can get replacement parts for it.

A very comprehensive and articulate presentation. I have a great passion for RC helis, although I've somewhat "cooled off" in the last several years, but recently started flying my 500 class ships again. I'm quite intrigued by the open TX concept and know absolutely nothing about it. Seeing this vid has me thinking that open TX might be just the thing to really fire me up again. Thanks for your work! I'll definitely be exploring a lot more of it!

Nice review mate! 👌 By the way, the 3 blade head is very noticeable in flight in the vid. It's probably due to the filming process though. This model is almost a carbon copy of WL Toys AS350. The WL Toys RTF came with a switchable-mode Tx, which I'd never seen before. Pretty amazing for around $120 (AUD). Sadly, they may have discontinued the line as I don't see them on Ebay now. I'll keep an eye out for this one!

When I was a kid (late 50's early 60's) I had a toy die cast helicopter that I "flew" everywhere I went. We lived in a big city then and I think about how it must have looked to people in the street. They must have gotten a kick out of it. I would dream of having a toy helicopter that could do this. But don't you get bored just zipping it around aimlessly? Try going for a walk with it. Bet you'll enjoy it !

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.

All of XK's helis use S-FHSS protocol and that is a protocol supported by the multi module and works fine. I just followed the instructions on multi-modules website to pair the module to my horus, no issues in either PPM mode or serial, but serial is superior. Not crap - very powerful and works a treat!

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.

I cover good beginner collective pitch helicopters to start with on my best RC helicopter page on my website: www.rchelicopterfun.com/best-rc-helicopter.html If you specifically want to stick with XK, then the XK-K110 is a great micro sized first CP heli to learn on. I mention it on that page as well as some others, but the K110 is pretty hard to beat in terms of value and robustness. I've done a review on it as well: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKqsc2VjgLiNr80

These are the FrSky "umbrella" ends. All FrSky stick ends use M4 threads so you have to make sure your specific radio is either M4 or M3 (many radios have M3 gimbal sticks so these wouldn't fit). Most FrSky dealers will carry them. Google search FrSky Unbrella stick end (either M4 or M3). Got mine from RotorGeeks here in Canada.

All of XK's helicopters use Futaba S-FHSS protocol so that is what they will bind to (any 6+ channel computerized radio with heli programming that is also using S-FHSS protocol). I have no idea what WLToys uses in terms of RF protocol, but I'm pretty sure, it isn't Futaba S-FHSS.

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.

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.

@Rchelicopterfun 5 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.

As I said & demonstrated in the review, the K123 is too heavy & underpowered for 3D. So yes the Trex 150x is a better all round heli that covers a larger flying style or the XK K120 or K130 if you wanted to stick with XK brand. Out of the three, there is no question the 150x is the better micro heli, but it costs twice as much.

This is a collective pitch heli and therefore needs 6 channels of control (throttle, aileron, elevator, rudder, pitch, mode). The radio also has to be computerized to set pitch & throttle curves as well as other necessary output functions. As I state in the video, it uses Futaba's S-FHSS protocol so will bind only to radios that also have that same protocol.

Thanks! Didn’t know about motion rc. Will pick one up. Can’t decide between the k123 and 124. Which did u feel flew best? Will mainly do scale flying around the house/yard with a good bit of expo and d/r. Not the best pilot, struggle with nose in but have fun nonetheless

K124 flew a marginally better, but it's also much harder to see at distance due to the dark blue livery. I like flying the K123 for that reason alone, but to each their own.

i bought one it flew great, but the batteries only lasted around 4 months and it was impossible to get replacements. Whole thing had to be trashed. In the end, great fun while it lasted, but a total waste of money.

1S 500mah packs for these things are easy to find and they are inexpensive. LiPo care will dictate usable life span (storage voltage, how far they are drained down during use, etc). Trashing a good workable micro CP heli as you claim over the inability to source cheap 1S 500mAh LiPo packs? All I can say is interesting...

@Rchelicopterfun
@Rchelicopterfun 5 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.

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.
