What an awesome and durable heli! Buy the XK K100 Mini here - goo.gl/amt1QA

its really incredible how small these toys are and they are just Packed with technology. Another great flight and vid guys , keep it up !!

believe it or not for me this was your best review … I could feel us learning together and it was great. It was also the most fun to watch for me anyway. the camera filming was perfect to so you can tell her… This was fun

Mayday! Mayday! I'm goin' down.......I'm goin' down. Congrats Nate, you're now a graduate of the Abby School of Rotor Lawn Trimming. Great video as always.

With all the quads you review, there is something really elegant about flying a helicopter for a change!

Great job flying that little thing upside down. Make sure the viewers know that it is a "collective pitch" heli. Like you said the blade angles change that allows you to make in a sense negative lift :) as oppose to a fixed pitch heli. Nice job Im scared to get a 3d heli :)

Lol face hurts from all the smiles great little craft. You learned it fast

Wow, watching someone learn reverse throttle 3d helis is extremely tense and entertaining. I still cannot comprehend how these pro 3d pilots make their brains comprehend reversing all the controls to fly upside down and in every orientation. 3d helis are the Dr degree in RC, I love watching them but I doubt I'll ever try learning it, except maybe in a sim

This is probably the best buy out there in micro helicopters. Great heli and great multi model programmable long range transmitter. Can't beat it for the price.

Y'alls dog is stressing me out lol. I keep thinking he's gonna run up and destroy it

Thanks for the recent helicopter videos. Lately I've purchased a few inexpensive IR indoor helicopters and 2 of them have gone south on me. I shall not be denied! Thanks to this video, my future has been made clear.

Hey RCSaylors! Think of the left stick controlling 2 things. 1) the throttle or how fast te blades spin 2) the pitch or the angle of the blades. In "normal" mode. stick down is throttle closed and pitch a little negative. In "3D mode" throttle going off while inverted is not convenient :). So then the left stick does not do much for the throttle. It stays on at constant speed. The pitch however has full range from full positive when pushed up, zero pitch at center stick and full negative pitch with stick down. This allows you to fly inverted. Only thing is... All those controls act as if they are reversed... But thats the learning part :) Throttle hold is for safety, autorotations and also to be able to check if the servo's do their thing correctly without spinning up. (pre flight check)

As an amateur heli pilot, here's some tips. To do flips, set your throttle to half power. Otherwise you cut motor power (or take off inverted!) and won't do the stunt right. To equate the controls to a race quad: Idle Up/inverted mode is Air Mode. Turning off stability is Acro mode. Throttle lock is disarming your motors. I dumped my 3D heli so hard I need to order a bucket of parts, but it's also a fragile bird...

I like seeing u guys flying regular helicopters that was cool

JUST SWEET

you guys are the best

You are FEARLESS!! Hat off to you

awesome video! reminds me when i first got into flying 3d helis many years ago. it's a steep learning curve but with your skills it shouldn't take too long to get hang of it. throttle hold is for before you think your going to crash flip it so it shuts the motor off and hoping nothing breaks. the other switch is idle up mode, gives 100% power and the throttle only controls the pitch. keep it up!

Yea! You got it! It takes a fare amount of practice for 3D flying.Good Job! Both of you. I love watching the two of you. I'm a former Wedding Videographer of almost 10 years.

Hey Nate, surprised you even build up enough back pressure to burp as much as you talk...LOL just kidding! Love your videos, you are believe it or not the only You Tube channel I subscribe to. You give great information on your review! You kids keep up the great work! Fast Eddie from Chicago.😉

Great flying and recording , awesome intro with Popeye , keep up the great work can't wait to see the other video bye!!

great review nate & abby

yay ! your reviewing a helicopter. I've been waiting for you to review helicopters I'm liking the XK brand. 👍😎 nice informative review too. Thanks !

Great video and excellent flight. I love how you guys keep it real. Inverted flight is hard. I've never done it successfully for long...keep crashing and stripped the gear. Well done guys!

Excellent video guys. That's what always makes your videos so special, they always have that "next door neighbor" feel to them. *Dance the Skies*

Just a word of encouragement, I've watched your videos and watched your family grow. God bless y'all, keep up the good work! The transmitter shipped with these copters is an incredible value and worth almost the price of the package by itself. I have the K-100, it's a great little helicopter. The transmitter uses Futaba protocol, and is easier to program than real Futaba radios.

popeye🐶 is back👍,and doing what he enjoys . I think you've been practicing. You both flew like aces. Abby was perfect from take off to power less drop landing (no crashes ) 😊. nice quite copter. great review. 🤗. nate you adapted fast to upside-down flying. 👏👏.

Nice video guys!

Very cool. Flew very well, yes Nate, you will get better quickly as you too will Abby. You both have tremendous flight skills and are improving all the time. Nice. Popeye! Thanks for the cool video guys, love the "rough cut" realism. lol Jeff

I just got the 110. It's actually more durable than the 100! Awesome video guys.

I have 2 xk100 and they are a blast,I also have 17 450s . The xk blast is the way to go if you crash alot starting out, great starter bird yess sss buy one

cool rc heli

I have the 110. The 110 is the brushless ver of the 100. The 120 breaks alot. The 100 and 110 share lots of parts, and don't break much, except the main plastic gear. Buy lots of those if you're going to fly a lot. Great helis!

that is so cool... I just can't believe how small it is, what it can do in the various modes, the great price for a complete package, and the durability. stability mode is a great fallback feature so you don't get frustrated as you learn to fly 3d. very nice! also my little Shih Tzu gives a shout-out to Popeye 🐾🐾

Ahh i have one of these they are so much fun so much to learn skills for a genuine hobby sensation... way to test mode is take off and land immediately and it will force heli back to launch pad if 3d is fully set... hey big 'props' for getting this outta the pack and going for it i was too scared lol

Greate video what makes your videos the best is the chemistry between the two of you and I mean this in the best possible way your dorky Ness!!!!

Excellent video Nate & Abby!! :)

The extra channels are for colitive control (Blade pitch).

Very cool! I am totally amazed at your ability (both of you) to learn and adapt so very quickly! I've been interested in helicopters now for a while. Maybe this is the one. Great job, as always.

Ha so cool you responded to me!!!! For real I watch all your vids you guys are great. I’ve been flying a Align 600 electric Heli for about 6 years and I’m thinking about getting into FPV quads. I’ve never flown a quad but I’m pretty good with a Heli.

I like how they packed everything separate in a box

love your channel. popeye is great.congrats on to the new addition to the family. i have been into rc many years and own 3 that you tested. love your channel

dang nate you went inverted your first try lol thats awsome im trying to learn 3d as well right now with a wltoys heli similar to this one glad you guys got this one

it's true what they say.... "Practice makes perfect"

I love watching you guys and also learning with you at the same time, the 3d helicopter flying is new to me also. I love the 👕 t-shirt Nate where can I get one, that is well kool, but hey your sandals/flip flops they are all yours, only you can pull them off, we're not brave enough to wear that type of foot wear hear in the UK. lol.. Thx guys, keep up the good work, much love 👌👍👍👍

You need to learn how to use the collective pitch in reverse!

Nate, please allow Abby her own brand New fully charged batteries. we ALL know that she is a awesomely cool competent pilot. 👍😎❤ thanks Nate !

Nice Abby, gets my vote, she's a better heli pilot then me & some guys. 😎

thank you guys so very much

lol your dog cracks me up i like the channel subscribed too.

Throttle hold is to save the helicopter when crashing (to not go in under power, stripping gears and bending shaft's) or for the bigger birds to auto

Cool heli !! I like flying quads, but I love helicopters it takes a lot more patiences.

Lol, being a 3d heli pilot this reminded me of my first try at it. That heli is tons better than my first micro heli, and it's cheaper, wish I would have bought this one!

I find inverted flying easier in the more "old fashioned 3-D mode" where in 3-D mode, the throttle varies in motor speed, but blade pitch can go from FULL negative pitch with throttle/collective pitch below 50%, but FULL positive pitch moving throttle/collective stick over 50%, but ALL OTHER controls remain totally un-affected but the 3-D switch.But then again, I started learning to fly R/C helicopters back in the 1980's, before the radio systems became computerized enough to start making the new 3-D heli pilots get MENTALLY LAZY when it comes to learning how to remember which controls "reverse" when flying inverted compared to when flying upright.

Nate, you should take off in normal mode. That will take you into hover at 50% throttle. throw the throttle hold switch and you can ignore the head speed. Then throw the 3d switch . dont drop the throttle though . imagine it a V you should have down and up from center throttle stick where hover will be centre throttle.. up and down is collective and left right forward back is cyclic. rudder (tail) is yaw as always.. still not easy

Good job flying, both of you! I think Popeye wants to fly, too! LOL You did a better job than I did on my first time flybarless. Nice little heli, too. Mine was a Walkera V120DO2, way harder to fly 4 years ago, than they are now! And was more than twice the price of this one.

Omggg I never noticed how beautiful popeyes eyes were

I gotta confess I looks exactly like My WL V977 only the Wl remote is gold in color

love the videos I think you met your match the collective pitch heli is the hardest rc to master hands down.

Cool Heli!! Great Video You Two!!

Y'all are awsome

nice heli i think i might get this one thanks guys Popeye is the doggie great video peace thanks for this one

You should want to fly more 3D flying helicopters

Thanks for an outstanding video. Been looking at this bird for a while. Emailed the vendor and couldn't get the answers I was looking for. Glad I waited and trusted my gut feeling not to buy. Knew the price was too good to be true. Will stay with my Align Trex. Thanks again.

All real men burp Nate. keep it up. Robbo

that's cool that it turns upside down

Nice Flight Test shirt!!

Do you still have the walkera furious Nate?? 😊

Ger8 job you lovely couple ! Thnx.

My issues, well XK 100 XK 110 XK110s XK 120 (all these have been discontinued) Then XK 130 124 123 on and on, I get it as tech advances so do toys, but ooooof trying to keep up. If I can keep up with you all, I often hit your links provided.

awesome bro,tomorrow i get my 3d helicopter..and yes im still learning ;-)

like the video and love the channal keep up the good work

I just got this a week ago... haven't been able to fly it yet... thanks for the vid... :)

The throttle hold is mainly for when you're crashing. You don't want the blades under power if they're hitting something. It's like taking your car out of gear. If the blades are under much power it's adding much more force to the impact and damages the main crank shaft and parts related to it (the spinning expensive stuff).

Like your videos. To trying to be rude by correcting you. It's not reverse throttle, its negative pitch that allows you to fly inverted. Typically it's called idle up mode in the heli world.

Nice video keep it up !! 👍

you guys have 12 people that are 1st. lol Hi guys and thank you very much for your video. Cheers and happy flying.

I got the Falcon K110 its fun but don't know how to do the 3D stuff only tried it a couple times afraid I might kill it lol

was sup guys .I have the xk123. looks like you don't have the throttle curve setup. you should have 100 percent throttle when you flip the 3d switch. have fun flying. order spare parts you going to need them. especially the swathplalte made-up of plastic.

uh..yeah it’s definitely durable...100 feet upside down straight into the ground over and over.

when are you going to announce the giveaway winners

what's the fun in inverted flying ? helicopters are hard enough to fly without inverting them. 👍😎

It's basically a Walkera Genius, but I loved my Walkera Genius. The downside is not being able to just pick up new parts at the local shop. 😐

I have my k100 now i have a problem in flying its not stable maybe its in radio ..i have problem setting expo etc .can u teach me how to do it ?

Throttle Hold should be user adjustable and ALWAYS be programmed so flipping the Throttle Hold switch totally cuts the motor power but leaves the pilot able to control main blade pitch to try auto-rotation... But I know of NO micro heli's with heavy enough main blades to maintain enough rotor inertia to be able to do an auto-rotation... Since the micro heli's don't usually have anyclutch to allow main blades to "free-wheel" without having to over-come the motor drag, if trying to "auto-rotate" with a micro, in most cases, the main blades will completely STOP MOVING in less time than it takes the heli to lose more than a few inches, if even a foot of altitude.

I admire your courage and spirit to try 3d Heli..., I try it once and give up.

Want to make video of how to fly 3D

1st Here is a shocker XK is Wl Toys However As usual awesome video and great teaching 90% of the group I know try and push a simulator for inverted basics, No Better teacher than what you are doing..

Half of a video I was wonderind if you would found an idle up mode : ) but you did it! Quite funny. And yes - it's a nice helicopter. I have k110 - it's better. But tried k100 - it's fun too

great video you guys I like that awesome ..nice to see Popeye ..

hey nate and abby your videos makes me happy everyday and i hope your channel grow bigger than it is right now and i really hope i win your bugs 3 drone giveaway and i hope you guys have a nice day

Beautiful weather. What state do you guys live in? We are being nailed with rain here in Mississippi for 2 weeks so not much flying. Love the helicopter !

Gzb

I bought a K110 and the yaw is way too sensitive in the middle where any throttle change also drastically affects the yaw. I cant find anyone to help me with this except that guy that wants to sell me his setup book. All the KZfaq reviewers said its so easy to fly, NOT MINE. My Volition V950 is easy to fly, maybe ill fix the antennae and stop worrying about 3D flight. Can ya give me any help?

I just got my K100 and in the first flight, it's take almost 100% throttle to make it take off, i don't know is it normal? all stock first flight, I didn't change any setting yet. during the flight, I'm always keep 100% throttle in case it will drop from sky if i down the throttle to 90%

Is this truely that undistroiable or did you change the helicopter each time?

:-) Wow you did great. I have a Blade McpX bl. My first flight was 4 seconds and about $ 25 bucks in parts.

By this time I had to got to motion rc less than $100 I got the bird with extra battery and blades tail & main...Sold out at your link I attempted there first......Now I wait..Do you all like the waiting on mail/delivery, drives me coco fer me coco puffs hahahaha

Hey guys. Thank you for all you do. Would you mind checking out the AOSENMA CG035 Brush-less GPS 5.8G FPV? Or do you have any experience with it? It's a dual satellite quad copter and brags a lot of similar functionality to the Hubsan 501s

You need to turn on idle up mode to do 3d
