Awesome flying Skills Dude! Im so impresive, the 230s has really improve over the past six years, I remember the first generation and it had some minor issues, but now it has improve to a perfect 3D capable!

Really nice flying and goes to show that in the right hands the 230s is a really all around good heli for beginners to intermediate flyers. Dude I think you could probably win a 3d competition with a AirHogs Havoc heli LoL!

My buddy! Sweet. Love it!

I am a commercial helicopter pilot with an instrument rating and several hundred hours of manned flight time. I have tons of RC airplane and FPV quad time. I plan on getting a blade 230 helicopter very, very soon. I hope I don't crash this right out of the box...Very impressive flying!

Sick Maneuvering, I would like to be at that skill level soon! Show off get some sponsors! Great Job

I now have two of these in the RTF model. Both drift hard to the left when flying, sometimes to the point of loosing control. I went through cust support with Horizon, sent videos of the behavior and Horizon said to send it in, so there must be an issue. While trying to hover again and do a trim flight it drifted hard right and crashed into the ground, breaking the frame. Thinking the Heli was deffective I went to the hobby store and bought the other 230 s smart they had so I could practice hovering and such while the first one was being assessed and fixed. To my surprise the second one I bought was pulling hard to the left also, just not as bad as the first one. the box and the instructions state the 230s smart should require little to no input from the controller to hover smoothly in low/no wind conditions. If I let off the right stick control both of my 230s smart's will dart to the left. Even pushing and holding the panic button results in both Heli's I have to dart to the left. I have told the customer support person I was talking to about the first Heli I have to send in about having the same issues with the second one, but I have gotten no response from him on the second one. I need some help here. This Heli is advertised and great for beginners, easy to fly, and smart tech that self levels it. None of this is true for either of the ones I have. Now I have 660 bucks in two of these that don't work properly. Please help!

Great flying

Dear Ethan, very impressive video. I can only immagine how long it takes to get these skills. May I ask you a question: I'm a beginner and I'm only flying in stability mode. I own a Blade230s Smart RTF and a Spektrum NX8. When using the RTF-radio the heli flies absolutely stable, but when using the NX8 the heli's tail is wagging alot and what's even more dangerous the heli always loses control (or signal to the radio?) after an undefined time, the heli spins around and gets down to the ground. Luckily this happened only at 1,5m of flight height. I don't know how to fix it. I've used the user manual for programming the NX8 and double-checked it. Can you share your user settings? Do you have an answer to my problem? Thank you very much in advance. Best regards, Markus.

Some excellent flying sir

Great flying man

You are very good! May I ask you, how long have you been flown a 3d heli ?

There are a lot of videos on KZfaq which tell you that the 230S will hover 'hands off'. The truth is that it won't hover at all. You have to keep it moving. This video shows that.

I Love mine 😎👍 , Nice flite

Ohhh man! That forward programming is awesome. I am slowly trying to eliminate tail wag. If I can eliminate it in stability mode, without changing anything, would tail wag also disappear in agility mode? Awesome info and great flying.

Surprised how well the etrm holds. They have really figured it out

what can you do with rtf radio tail wag

Do you own Realflight? If so, how accurate is the 230s relative to the model on RF? I have the 230s that came out about 5 years ago. I still haven't flown it (got into warbirds on RF, that took me four and a half years to play with the top pilots).

How many minutes does it fly on a single charge in normal operation?

Bro. A licensed fixed-wing pilot asking. About how many hours you think you have "logged" flying these things? Your skills are over the top bro!!!

Hello everyone and Happy New Year ! I just received the Blade 230S Smart BNF equipped with the AR6250MHXA. How to insert the Bind Plug association socket without dismantling everything? In addition, besides the fact that my fingers do not pass and that I do not see the plugs, a plug is already connected to the BIND plug ..... My radio is a Spektrum DX6 G2 EU. All have a happy new year 2022!

Looks like straight out of the box, it has the the good 'ol Blade 180CFX "Tail Wag" and/or oscillation... Glad I watched this first before purchasing, as I've played this game many times over with Blade, and I've got the scars on my face to prove it! Yeah I just suck as an RC Heli guy, but whatever! LOL... I suppose I'll just continue to fly the real thing, and for RC stuff, just keep fixing and flying my Walkeras' and Aligns'... Great Video though, and you clearly have some Mad Skills! Not hating to be sure, and a BIG Thanx for a real review!!

Do you like the 230 or the 180 better?

What do i need to adjust to lessen tail wag on stunt 1? ( Using my nx8 tx. Where to start looking. Ill go from there). 2nd hover, i went to forward flight. A wee bit nerve racking! LoL! (My last heli was a raptor .50 3d. 20 years ago 😁)

Shows you a better tx, not the crappy one that comes in RTF package & you need a diff battery / charger . Want "Smart" , get regular V2. This one has probs already.

is this smart technology on battery side worth it ?? i mean the battery costs 3 times as much as a normal on it tells me how long i can fly .. what more?

Wie quietscht oder singt der Heli so sehr??

when your upside down. Left stick full down makes you go up ? Sorry DJI pilot here lol

What i just saw was Boooom flying .

And all the beginners like…I wonder how it flys normally? This is my gripe with all the reviewers. They go right into 3d mode and start flip flopping all over the place. I’m looking at this model as an upgrade from nanos3 to hone in my stick skills. If your going to review a beginner unit. Review it as a beginner FIRST. Then go into the advanced.

Sounds like there's a squirrel inside freaking out.

I can’t even hover in safe without crashing 😂😂

You showed absolutely nothing for beginner's. II thought that that's what the point was?

Spend a little more money and get an Align or something similar.

You're not too good at controlling a helicopter, are you? lol

Compared to my other helicopter the 230 S has rotten tail hold. Even after you just did a setting Adjustment it still wobbled. I own this helicopter and it's the worst I've ever owned. Plastic ball socket and cheap cheap cheap… Pay for what you get I guess but it's still overpriced. Back to the tail it's A very poor tail hold the worst out of all my helicopters. If I had to give advice I would say the helicopters from Bang Good are better quality for the same price. And blade helicopters are Chinese anyway just cheap

Blade 230s PLASTIC 😅

Man are you good. Got mine last Christmas. To scared to fly it. But your awesome video has shown me that it’s not as hard as I thought. Except when you went CRAZY mode. 🙏🫥🍕
