John Salt yesssss

I gotta get back to flying....Very informative video brother

Great vid! Quick question, got a trex 250 with a walkera fbl system what channel would it be on or how do i get the 6axis gyro to work? Even with throttle no movement from servos. Thx 👍

@@garyvallone5393 I see how that is relevant

@@ethanstapley7018 But it is a nice thought! And thank you for not being rude about it.

Do you have those large models? Do you prefer realistic designs?

Such a fantastic concept. One TX to rule all! Lol. Over the years I’ve probably collected 50 transmitters, from RTF’s and stand alone units. Nice to have OpenTX and multi protocol now.

Hope you enjoy it (mine's still flying well) - have fun with your K123 👍

Glad it helped

That's exactly why RC and especially collective pitch helis are so fun and engaging. The greater the challenge, the more rewarding the effort. It's the underlying reason why most of us are addicted to the hobby :-)

Wow....what a price!! I paid $120 shipped from China to US. And it’s still a great deal!

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.

I have the wl toys blue one , nice little flyer

Glad you enjoyed it

I was using the Phillips screwdriver wondering “what the heck”. Oh my crappy eyesight. Lol. Thanks for the hex tip. Mine came with one.

You hav'nt seen spektrum remotes then

@@m.s.aviation7065 ima go check those out

@@m.s.aviation7065 das one thick antenna

Actually, as several others have correctly pointed out, they are VOR antennas (balanced VOR loop antennas to be exact) .

Try again. I got mine from China to US in 11 days. Sorry for your bad luck!

Yes they are - good catch :-)

I noticed that too. I have a static UH1 model & it also has these. I knew from reading helicopter books.

I stand corrected.

Lol I remember that episode

Bahahaha I always said anyone who would remember that episode is worth marrying! So dm me and I'll make the arrangements. 😜

@@ChicagoDeepHouseHead crazy xd

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...

John Salt, I'm dying 😂😂😂here just happened to read your reply "All I Can Say Is Interesting" permission to use that when the need arises, actually says more than just saying what you really think Ahahaahahah!

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: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aN95dZVesLm-qZ8.html

Great, I’ll check out your page. Thanks for your response and willingness to share information. I’ve learned a lot from your videos.

They are. Amazon, Motion RC & several other hobby shops (Google search)

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.

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.

@@Rchelicopterfun Thank you so much for your reply. I think I will go for the jumper t16 to use it with the simulator and learn how to set it up using your ebooks, opentx uni, my V911 and a xk or blade 6ch helicopter that I will buy in the near future. Thank you so much again :)

Can this bind to Spektrum?

Nope. As I state at the beginning of the video, all of XK's micro helicopters use Futaba's S-FHSS protocol.

@Henry Hartsfield - Left yaw or left roll? Best to contact me through my website with technical questions like this as I rarely see follow-up replies in the comments section of YT: www.rchelicopterfun.com/contact.html If you are not sure of the difference between yaw and roll, these pages of my site will help: Yaw: www.rchelicopterfun.com/rc-helicopter-rudder.html Cyclic Roll: www.rchelicopterfun.com/cyclic-rc-helicopter-control.html Fundamentals of RC Helicopter Control: www.rchelicopterfun.com/rc-helicopter-controls.html 🙂

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.

@@Rchelicopterfun Aah I must look at these other models you mentioned. I suppose I'm asking to much to have 3D flight and scale model in one that can do both well and still be micro sized 🤣. Thanks for info. subbed. 👍

If that's a question, then yes it is.

It's the same as mapping the channels and switch functions in OpenTX to any model in your memory. Channel 5 is what toggles between the gyro/accelerometer selection on XK's line of helis.

Like any CP heli, to a point before you lose cyclic authority or overheat the ESC.

@@RchelicopterfunI appreciate the reply. I’ll be keeping out of the Canadian winter and hopefully flying around the house.

Watch 2:10

It's Alexa transmitter. _"Alexa, fly helicopter for me."_

Yes you can... Like any CP helicopter setup 🙂 I go over the basics of the X6 radio if you are not sure how to program D/R on it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ouCHbNBpnZ-dhJ8.html

@@Rchelicopterfun Amazing, thank you!

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!

Yep :-)

I show and say @ 2:10

Yes, collective pitch setup is universal. Just a little trickier with 3 blades, but you can still fold two of the blades back to confirm zero collective and set your pitch curve for min max collective range using the wedge method.

@@Rchelicopterfun thank you very much, I´m going to buy the ebook soon.
