Very nice! I love RC helicopter content. I am into RC helis only myself. I have very good memories of the 230S, I had the original v1 when it came out some time ago. It was the very first helicopter I attempted a flip (which, by the way, went horribly wrong) but I managed to use Rescue to save the helicopter (actually the switch labeled with the Safe logo might be Rescue and not low/high rates, which would explain why it doesn't seem to do anything if you are on a controlled upright hover). That moment gave me the confidence to try it again and continue to progress. I really enjoyed that little heli it was really good at crashing, and very inexpensive to fix. I once slammed it against a chain link fence because I was flying at a little baseball diamond on a public park and the main blades didn't even break. I eventually moved out of Blade helis into "kit" helis and I have enjoyed every step. But every time someone asks me where to start with RC helis I always refer them to the Blade 230S. Just had one small comment on what you said on the video. The left stick up/down on RC helis is not Throttle, it is really Collective. The difference is that Throttle is always down to kill the motor and up to increase power to the motor. On helis, when you are flying upside down, that gets reversed, unlike airplanes. Other than that, great content love the excitement and that is feels really authentic. Keep it up and cheers :) Oh and shameless plug listen to Skids Up podcast and take a peek at my YT channel hehe

These blades spin at a much faster rate than most RC planes and are much more dangerous for a beginner. I would recommend a fixed pitch helicopter like the SR-120 or 130 for beginners or an Ultra Micro copter.

Awesome looking heli. Been flying since '78, mainly helis. I love your videos because you are both full of enthusiasm for the hobby. Keep up the great work both of you.

I flew a Blade CP many years ago. It was my first heli and it gave me so much fun learning to fly it. Nailing the hover was exhilarating. Then came the flip and then inverted hover. What a blast!

This was the heli that got me back into RC helicopters after being a beginner-level heli guy a long time ago. The 230S is the perfect combination of large enough to be controllable for a beginner and small and affordable enough for a newcomer. Love this bird!

OK i think you have persuaded me into getting this one thanks for a great video keep them coming

SUPER COOL helicopter!! Looks FUN to fly!! GLAD Abby explained knoll word...I thought either your camera didn't focus OR I needed to clean my glasses!! GREAT JOB SAYLORS on this honest review!! So better bring it back!! 💟👍😘

Really good flight and the woman behind the camera done a very good job keeping it in sight! Nate and Abbie are truly a gift to the RC community and offer so much information whether it be Air,Ground, or Water. You guys ROCK!!!! Plus you're UK fans!

My fav current helicopter. Love it!

Me and my wife have been watching the channel and have become obsessed with RC! Our son is about 2 1/2 and has his own little crawler he pushes around... surprised it's not broken yet. TLDR we've got an RC family now and we absolutely love and support the content. I just got a Mojave for myself, and my wife is picking out her first Air vehicle this week. Keep up the great work guys!

Allways love your channel you are the one that got me into this hobby 2 years ago and I got atleast 20 rc cars and trucks and I do thank u for the advise I received from you guys so I'm going to restart my channel

You guys are great, so natural, awesome vid, everything I want to see and know, but... chilled..

Very nice!! Love your guys video’s.

Thank yall so much for your informative post. Im getting one for Christmas and any information is useful..

That was great I can't wait to see another heli video.

"If a crash happens, it will be epic!" LOL I love this channel!!! Thank you for what you do!

8:22. It is called rotor wash. My instructor told me imagine it as flushing a toilet except with air. You essentually "flush" the air out from under it which is the air that it uses to maintain altitude. Less dense air makes it harder to stay afloat. Same concept as trying to breath at the top of Mount Everest.

Great to see a heli on the channel. Good flying too, with a little practice you’ll love flying them.

Great first collective-pitch helicopter, if you get one that is good out of the box. My first one I bought in February had a nasty habit of going where it wanted to, regardless of my stick input! I thought it was my mistake, so I rebuilt it twice. With the blades off I then spooled it up on my workbench, and guess what? It moved the swash plate randomly with no input. No significant vibration to throw off the stabilization. Horizon Hobby reluctantly replaced it, and the new one flies beautifully! Thanks HH ! You did what was right! (PS- been flying fixed-pitch micro helicopters for 17 years) Thanks also for what you and Abby do!

Nice👍🏼

That looks so cool

Y’all are awesome

Cool!

I've had a blade 230 vs2 for over two years now I've put about 2,000 flights on it .... one of the best helicopters I've owened

Just ordered one, love your carrying case commentary 😂

Nice 🚁Flight Nate!!! Not much of a Helicopter 🚁 pilot but this sure looks fun.

I love the sound of the rotors.

Cool video

I am going to get this helicopter because of you guys.

Nice! I have 2 of them👍

Damn now there something else I need to buy it looks tame enough its hard to keep up with you guys I just got a small airplane then a edf then came boats now on to heli's lol thanks nate and Abby I love seeing how the models preform before I buy them so thank you guys and for showing us the good and not so good.

Great video. I need to get mine out. I bought a new 330 and haven't even flown it yet. I'm using a DX9.

Good to hear your screed on the matter, just quest's.

I just pulled my older 230s off the wall and got it back in the air and was glad I did. Smart makes it a perfect beginner Heli. Want to get back into heli and this is a great way to build up skill and confidence.

You got to love Nate his excitement is real unfiltered and totally infectious. Watching you guys is truly a guilty pleasure. #Saylorsrock

I have two RTF helicopters I bought after seeing y'all review them over the years. The Blade 70S and Eachine E130. For a while last year, I considered buying the Blade Nano S2, but just never did. And then, though I'd never mentioned it, my daughter and SiL gave me one for Christmas. BNF. I got it bound and it works great with my DX-6e. Of course, I've never been brave enough to take it out of SAFE mode. :)

I've watched a few of your heli vids (don't fly planes), and you impress the hell out of me! Your audio and video are EXCELLENT, as is your presentation --- spot on! A *LOT* of YTers I've watched could learn a *LOT* from you two! I'm AMAZED at the video and audio quality (AND camera work!). How are you getting such well stabilized video even when zooming in?!? Which camera are you using and HOW is the sound SOOOOO GOOOD when you don't appear to be wearing a lapel mic? Keep doing what you're doing cuz you're AWESOME! I *ALWAYS* like to give credit where credit is DUE! Cheers! :)

You guys so awesome and cute. Love your review process and very easy to understand.

Nice helicopter

Because of you two, I bought one yesterday!

I picked up the BNF version a couple of months back. One caveat on it, is that the IC-2 to IC-3 adapter, which is not included with the BNF version, has been difficult to get. I ordered mine way back in early April, and it finally arrived last week. Fortunately, being a professional electronics technician, I put together my own temporary adapter so I could charge the battery and actually do stuff with the heli. So far, my flight experience with it has been just learning how to hover. The sound on the video, however, doesn't come near how cool it sounds in person.

Very cool helicopter and that is a really nice storage box. I was wondering have you ever used any sort of fpv goggles with any of your vehicles?

Awesome. This is the most popular sport trainer heli horizon hobby sells. It’s one of the best you can buy. I put a UH1 Huey gunship fuselage on my blade 230S and love it.

I tried to fly Helicopters 6 years ago. It was very scary. The 230s series of Heli's are what got me back into flying Heli's !

This is so far from being the smallest RC flingwing for beginners, but it looks like an pretty excellent lil model. I have an opportunity to pick one up, it just needs a replacement battery and canopy.

Heck with the helicopter I want the box!

This is an awesome helicopter, I have one myself and I’ve upgraded it to carbon fibre. I managed to flip it too

Love your content ! Maaaaan I wish my dad was like you. I’ve always wanted to start rc flying but shipping to my country is a bum. A local man was selling a cub s but I was late to get it. Anyway! Keep up the amazing content!!

i got this one last week, finally! i run 134g zee 3s 1500mah packs and i am.getting over 15min on a charge. i changed the connector to dx60 as that internal balamce ic2 is nowhere to be found for adapters! really terrible idea, spektrum. it flies amazingly. does well, stable and its prerrt tough! i did have a bigger crash early on, broke a skid mount point amd bemr the tail boom but was able to straighten it all out. i was impressed with the durability. its all reteim flighted amd dialed in and i have about 8 packs through it and im able to poimt it at me and do some circles flying around. its a challenge i finally accepted. do it! never stop learning!!!!

Love my 230s, but I wouldn’t think a beginner should fly one until they have a lot of simulator time under their belt…The 230s was my first heli, and I probably put $300 worth of parts into it before I learned to control it properly haha. Real flight works wonders

This thing is pretty dope. For the price, I can’t think of a better way to get into helicopters.

Prop wash is actually the effect of air from the propeller following behind an airplane. Helicopters do not have props they have blades and when the helicopter gets close to the ground and it gets tricky to hover this is simply called ground effect. The kill throttle safety feature is actually for doing autorotation landings! Cheers

Question...i have a 230s v2 not smart that needs a reciever..is it possible to replace reciever with a smart reciever and smart esc and be ok??? Thanks for any info

Good evening Nate and Abby question isn't that the same transmitter that you get when you get the Habu STS if so can't you just bind that up that transmitter also

Nice to see my recommendation was taken under consideration 😁

Nate, try inverted maneuvers on the simulator first and develop some muscle memory for each maneuver. When finally trying with the heli, fly over the grass until you get proficient. It won't save the heli if you go down but will minimize the damage. Take it from someone who has spent hundreds on heli rebuilds.

Thank you so much for supporting God, safe flying, and helicopters! I know you're not into these as much as other things, but have you considered coming up to the IRCHA Jamboree? You can bring your Blade 230 and I'd be happy to spot for you on the flight line. 😄 Cheers, and keep flying (and driving, and boating...)!

First time seeing such a heli

Flywing FW450 is a right smart Heli, Been flying it last few weeks, Runs 3 to 4s video on my channel flying through fpv an recorded HD video.

wow COOL I WANT 3

Nice review! Keep up the good work . the button that you indicated has no function is the panic button. if you turn it on, the helicopter will be straightened.

U probably need space for new helicopters too and Ive got a good home for that one. Plenty of land to ru around in and not get hit by cars. Youre right about Prop Wash, its the same as flying a drone near a wall, the air current will suck your drone right into it and ya cant pull away

If you ever fly a 500 or 600 size it's like flying a Cadillac.. It's more steady and smoother... Loved flying my Align Trex 600 when I had it... Great to see too cause it's so big... Tip of the rotor blad to the tip of the tail rotor is 6 feet lol

Passando pra prestigiar aquele like e fortalecer o canal 😉✌👍

Definitely the best 230s they have made so far but that’s just because of the new Mini 6250 FBL. Really wish Blade would update the 230 with a carbon main frame and more power motor.

We fly fix wing my son wants to fly rotor wing would this be a good choice.

230 is a good helicopter but that said i think safe can Hinder you in learning Collective pitch flying they don't mix well a Panic or bailout switch works much better in my opinion plus I would also add the omp m2 is a better heli but probably not as beginner friendly as the 230

Just got mine. I also just got a new NX8 for it. Have you flown it on a NX?

Nate love the helicopter anyways not anything to do with the helicopter but do u think I should buy the traxxas rusler 4x4 brushless

I havent been too naughty this year.Giggity !!! But im wishn and a hopen Santa brings me one for Christmas....

How would you compare this with the 150S? Is this better or is the 150S better? This RTF comes with a transmitter, but the 150S doesnt I think? Which flies better and has more features?

Still fly the xk k110 I was looking to buy the echine e180

What would yall recommend giant rc helicopter for intermediate to expert

I have had mine now for o e year and crashed it for the first time some days ago - but I love it and it flies great 😊😀

Wow. I bought that radio last year to go with a model from local hobby shop. I looked so hard everywhere for some type of info on it. I am used to drones so I figured it out eventually. A couple switches seem to do nothing. Now here you are on a random video explaining how it works. Lol. 1 question tho. Is that radio programmable in any way? Or it just whatcha get for the bottom line radio.

I have the first version Blades 230s night. It flies horrible. The tail motor is always lagging to sudden pitch so, it's always losing tail control

id like to see what stunts it does nate .as i have the small eachine 129 which is fairly easy to fly .as well. also got auto stability altitude hold..which im sure youve done in an earlier video.

Don't worry about stunts, learn to fly without the auto level. I learned with auto level on my drones. Then the SIM, then acro drones, then acro heli. It's kind of a backwards way to learn but you'll get there. By acro I simply mean no auto level, stunts and inverted are another step. I like this heli for the size and I think they have aftermarket canopies for it as well

yea this one,the airoscout .the habu fly on the nxs transmitter.so yea a big saving there if you have these .wont need the transmitter that comes with it

Is there any inside info on a v3 coming out ?

Always put throttle hold on after you land so you can safely pick it up in case you bump the throttle with finger or your body

Just make sure you can get ahold of the ic3 adapter to charge the lipos. Mines finally in the mail been on backorder for months.

Has anyone had problems with keeping it at the same altitude while trying to hover mine is constantly going up and down

I'm trying to find the ready to fly version like you guys have with radio and everything but cannot find it. You know why or where I could?? Thanks 😁

I think thats the right size for me cuz my little xk110 just sits on the shelf because weve had wind everyday for 3 months now. Its getting aggravating not being able to fly

you can practice with that exact helicopter on RF9, I'm actually learning to fly a helicopter with that exact helicopter.

Got mine 2 weeks ago, 2nd flight the tail boom bent. Thing came flying at me, I could not react fast enough to hit the panic button. Not sure if pilot error or what, I fly FPV LOS Drones a lot.

That looks like a fun heli. Try out a 700 with 13 degrees of pitch.. it will change your life.. 👍

Get down on it . Like an American, love ya guys.

Yep fly high and you can use the painc recovery which you didn't mention I don't think u did but good flight.🤔🤔

Nice shirt Nate. LOL

Hey guys I just got this from a friend but I don't have the instructions please let me know where I can get a manual

Can you change the FW200 from mode 2 to mode 1?

Always remember to fly 1 mistake high when trying new manuvers

To check dual rates, pirouette and see how fast it rotates, flip the switch and do another pirouette and see which is faster. High rates is the fastest one of course.

That’s awesome, let’s see you try 3D, ha ha. If you want it to sound even cooler when the rotor blades decelerate after landing is increase the pitch as they are decelerating.

I have to spend a lot of time in the simulator before I bring this Heli up again. Upgrade to a carbon fiber tail boom, mine got bent so quick.

Bigger does fly better but cost MUCH more to repair. And you will crash as a beginner. Start with the smallest copter before you buy this model.

Great shorts great fly...hi 2 abbý
