I smashed one of these into the ground, inverted, thought the day was over. It took me 5 minutes to replace the bent main shaft; everything else was fine, and shafts/blades/batteries are cheap. I love these things.

If you have ever flown a 3d heli, you would definitely understand his skills were not basic by any stretch of the imagination. Amazing flying skills with plenty of confidence to push the heli. Nice flying!

For "not being a pro" that was a really good flight. Well done. Great video!

Holy buhgeezus! I kept hearing the word beginner used in the audio track while a pro pilot & helicopter flew in the video track. Loved it!

Holy moly there's only one word for this heli and pilot fantastic.

The tailrotor sounds like an angry mosquitto! Impressive flying and impressive performance from such a small heli!

That tail rotor motor is kicking ass!

quote of the century "well I'm no pro heli flyer" <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="377">6:17</a>

if thats rusty well i'd wonder how good you would be warmed up as that was awesome flying there mate, love the heli it seemed rock solid and way powerful , definitely something i will be taking a closer look into in the near future as i'd like to add a heli in my arsenal of toys lol thanks to Essential RC for another great product review cheers from Andrew Reece.

Great flight! I would say for a beginner Heli go for a 230s. More intermediate advanced

That thing is nuts!

How accessible are the servos, main drive etc from a maintenance stand point? One thing I’ve seen with RC heli’s is that it’s not if you crash but when and spending more time on fixing rather than flying is a real killjoy, still, I would love one.

Mate you are really good at flying

Well done pilot

Incredible

Sounds like the tacking is out. Not saying it is but that's how it sounds. Also the way it levels when you take your thumb off the stick after a cyclic input maybe good as in saves a crash but it does nothing imo to train someone how to fly a RC Heli properly. Going from this to a flybarred Heli they would crash immediately.

I learnt all my skills on the old EF MINI STINGER owned for maybe 3-4 years I still have it fly it every now any again I love it but I took it out in the park it struggled with light wind and at one point the counter weight bar fell off thankfully found it in the grass and put it back on 😪 it’s double bladed to. I’m no expert but decent but I’d really love a mini rc that can fly outside in the wind without major problems but not to expensive or advanced level? Im not a beginner but also not super advanced.

nice

nice review and flight demo. looks like a winner there.

Nice little heli. Ty for your video and greetings from Germany!

You made that look easy mate , cracking bit of flying 💪🏽

When you are upside down do you hold down to go up ??

Love it! Awesome! That's so cool. I want one, but can't afford right now. Is it very difficult for a beginner to learn to control it in flight? Watching video, it looks like a beginner could lose control. It even looks dangerous and could hurt someone.

Build quality good. Flight characteristics good. BUT, you didn't answer what might be THE most important question for beginner pilots: How does it hold up in crashes? Like HARD crashes? I've been flying RC helis for about 8 yrs now (just occasionally, not frequently and not tons of hours), and my absolute biggest barrier to learning faster and progressing further has been the damage caused during crashes. You don't learn jack when you fly conservatively and docilely and keep everything in your comfort zone. You learn when you step OUT of your comfort zone...when you push to your limits and beyond...when you take risks. And you know what happens when you do that? You crash. A LOT. Which is perfectly acceptable...IF your heli can stand it. Make a follow up video showing you crashing this M2 into the ground over and over, at full speed, from different angles and directions, etc....and show that it keeps taking off again without damage. THEN we'll say this is the "BEST FIRST" RC helicopter for beginners. I'd love to know what others think are the most durable (but still capable fliers, and still challenge pilots beyond the basics) RC helicopters out there that will crash and crash and crash with the least amount of damage. I haven't flown a lot of them, but one for sure is the XK K100. I've learned more flying that than ANY of my other helis for all the reasons I cited above. What do the rest of you suggest for learners that is HIGHLY crash-resistant, but flies well enough that it's not hard for beginners to control, and not boring for learners who have progressed down the road a little ways already?

Cant exactly compare to a DJI Mavic 2 drone & ithink its harder to pilot as well. But still a charm as this is how it all began.

That thing sounds like a pissed off bee. I still cannot bring myself to give up the flight time with my nitro powered models, but that torque from electric is impressive.

Mannnn!....I Really Like That Micro Heli,....What Would Be A Nice Radio With All The Safe Modes As He Mentioned For That Heli, He's Making It Look Easy For Someone Who Haven't Flew A Heli In Awhile👍

I really want this helicopter it looks amazing in performance and build quality but I wouldn’t say that is for beginners, crashing that heli would be a huge bummer and dangerous, I just got a tiny little blade 70s and I’d say it’s a perfect little flybarless heli to learn on before upgrading to something like this.

dude its a best helicopter but beginners can get seriously injured with this if they do not know how to set it up properly

Nice little heli! Good flying too! You can really hear that tail rotor working during extreme maneuvers.

I love that this has no belts no gears

I have bet on Democracy and the Constitution. $300 winnings are going to buy this Heli. What a good deal! Great vid and fantastic landing.

Thanks for filming, thats impressive, 8 mins of flight time? $309. ~ how much for the remote?

Well, this might be the replacement I decide to get to replace the blade 230 I had, that had major problems, that was repaired, then throttle locked with pitch forward. Walked 20+ miles, though thick woods and briar thickets, never found it.

will it work with flysky nirvana nv14 transmitter?

Thanks for information and video. I really enjoy watching it. A A from Karachi Pakistan. 👍

Take my money .............................. awesome video sir.

Does it have a panic recovery button?

Thank you

Holy shit, that thing sounds mean. I might have to pick one up, do they have a version that comes with a FrSky receiver by any chance?

hello, thanks for the vid, could you please share the opentx bin file model setup for heli? I know how to set it for FPV but not heli, thank you

That looks like heaps of fun,quite fast,nice flying!

Idk about it been one of the best but good for beginners

WoW great performance for such a small chopper!....

Great video

i will buy that soon bro thanks for sharing

It's very fast I've not had much luck with this sort of thing but I didn't think it was quiet tho. Nice landing btw😉👍🏼

That is awesome.great flying. I want me one of those.

I am a complete novice to RC heli but this seems expensive?? What is a good entry Helicopter?

Wow. Bad ass chopper.

Thank you! Very informative video!

can you adjust this to fly at lower speeds and fly this heli indoor?

Wow eres un mostró manejando ese pequeño bicho volador

I don't think so. The best first RC Heli is the WL toys V911. With transmitter is less than 50 Bucks.

Beautiful helipcopter 👍

Nice Helicopter

Nice 👍

Hi, great video I don't think that it is a beginner Heli :) Anybody know what are the coloraturas code of the receiver Led ?

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="150">2:30</a> noisy blades!

You make it look SO easy.

Ow ! The sound like 👍 monster . I wonder it can be use with graupner Radio ?

Loved it

Wish I had half your skill 👌🏻

Great video I am now a new subscriber I would like to get into flying some kind of model aircraft and you are awesome at flying helicopters I thought you was actually a pro

How much does this thing cost?

Hi, Could it be the first rc helicopter ever? Thanks

It's bad when even your RC helicopter sounds like irs shitting itsself when it takes off to the moon. I WANT IT

Amazing heli, great flying

Nice heli but I will never go back of flying this beauty..I'll fly racing drone instead. More time flying the heli repair.

This is a nice Heli, but I’m starting to see why people prefer Quadcopters. Far easier to fly, more stable for camera mounting and generally easier to use. This isn’t even RTF. You still need to buy a receiver and transmitter radio

Whats ur transpiter?

Thanks informative video, I will probably buy one.

Nice looking Heli, waiting on mines! BEST FIRST nope, way too expensive, an MCPX or cheaper/lighter Heli to learn 6ch Heli skills a better idea in my opinion. Still looking forward to mines arriving!!!

Incredible price for such an impressive heli!

You call that a bit rusty? You made that look easy and i can assure you that what you did with that heli, is far from easy...nice flying.

for new beginners i would recomend wltoy v911 and then move on to a 6ch/cp pitch heli later... this one is 300 usd

i have xk110 and wltoys V913 heli's. can the M2 bind with these transmitters?

Nice 👍🏻!!!

Ok I was not prepared for that performance.

Cool. I followed the link in the description and it's still there in February 2022 but said there's no shipping option to The U.K. How much can it lift? I'd attach a strain meter or weighing scale to it and max out the pitch and head speed just to see how many kilos of force it could generate. Then attach the biggest battery it can lift! One day construction companies like the one over the fence will use co-ordinated drone gangs to lift and place heavy components with absolute precision relative to an established 3D datum reference beacon on site. The only thing stopping it would be upfront investment though companies will offer service contracts like cranes and plant are hired out now and Health & Safety regulations will probably stifle Western countries relative to China who are probably already doing it. If not it won't be long. Helicopters have been used for decades for construction projects in America but only on a limited scale compared to normal tower cranes like the ones in this video. The H.S.E. will no doubt shut it down completely after the first few fatalities when workmen try to use floor panels carried by drones as walk on/walk off lifts to avoid using the stairs because health & safety regulations mean you can't eat bloody sandwiches in the building where you're working, only in a dirty old mobile canteen, usually a hundred metres away and by the time you're there it's time to get back to work so nothing much gets done. Add carpet tile fitters to the equation blocking off access with scaffold poles so their precious floor adhesive doesn't get a few bootprints on it and you have a recipe for economic disaster. Sorry, The GCHQ site still bugs me after 20 years!

That's really cool bud 👍 I wouldn't mind trying one of them out one day

Sorry did you say the controller comes seperate? Or with the chopper?

Love it

will this work with my taranis frsky Tx?

Hello this model can mount a fuselage class 250? Thanks

What TX you are using in this video?

Should name it 'evinrude' the mosquito

It is possible to provide the map SBUS channels AETR, Gear, Pitch, mode for the M2 V2.

Great video thanks! Any suggestions for people like myself who can’t afford Futaba - usually more expensive than the heli ! (Omphobby make their own transmitter called the T6 which is around £40 gbp)

ÓTIMO HELICÓPTERO RC, BRASIL OK.

I’m thinking about getting me 1 but I know nothing about them, So they don’t come with their own controls?? Where’s somewhere I can read up on it all ?? what all would I need to start out ??

Nice✨👍🏻

What about availability of replacement parts? That's the single most import thing to consider when buying any R/C helicopter.

Can someone point me in the right direction of a remote control for this helicopter, please and thanks

Great video nice.

That was epic guys great job. Looking to get my 1st one asap and wow this looks scary good haha you really think this is a great 1st one? Will it take crashes coz I am.gonna crash...... a lot 😂😂😂🙈👍

well how hard is it to get parts ?

Id be happy getting it off the ground lol great video job well done made it look easy

TOP 👌👍👍👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
