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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes they will! The stress of only having ONE chance to get it right probably help bring on my heart attack back in "09". I had to retire from it. :-( I loved capturing the emotion and tears on the Brides faces and all her guests happiness for her on that special day. I dearly miss being behind a camera doing it, so I hope to land a few jobs this summer flying my Typhoon Q500 4k drone with some wedding video producers. I live in Louisville Ky now. Keep up the good work.
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!
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.
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...
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 :)
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
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. 👏👏.
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
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!
Yes, the 110 is the best of the 3 XK helis. The 100 is brushed so will wear out faster than the 110. The 100 and 110 do not break as easily as the 120. The 120 usually lasts just a few crashes, then you have to buy parts. I've crashed my 110 dozens of times, and just had to replace the plastic gear.
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
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 🐾🐾
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.
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.😉
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
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.
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 👌👍👍👍
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!
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.
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
other wise great job and yes please remember that it is a collective pitch heli which spins at a higher head speed so it could draw blood on you vary easy so I agree with the comment on keep it away from Popeye. and I am a heli guy so I you have any questions just ask.
lol, I'm not the best pilot in the world, but I understand because I'm self taught do to the fact there is no one in my area and know I'm teaching three kids and maybe more to fly.
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 !
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.
Hello, very good job, fly my like! lost, and I must finish the review ..... I fly in mode 2, not in 3d, could you guide me ?, I set the oparameters of the manual to violate in normal mode, but it still does not take off, the gear is fine and I have many batteries , no way, and the engine works well, and boosted with a lot of power, but the helicopter still does not take off, I am desperate Saylor family !!! I saw them all, I'm desperate already, ... In case I can't continue, I could take a few minutes of your flight, mentioning you of course, thanks for your help in any case, I would just take a picture of the drone. Thanks mate!
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.
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
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.
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.
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).
Yes. Saves your motors from burning up too. Good idea for quadcopters as well. Turn those motors off just before you crash. Sometimes you can just tell you're going to crash. Try to flip that switch before you hit.
Your dog Popeye is so cute I'm sorry I had a Yorkie too. But enough for the chit chat I bought the XK 102 and it's a damn good helicopter perfect for beginners will just want to learning because the brushed motor provides just enough power but what's your take I'm the XK 100 helicopter do you think it's underpowered or overpowered is it easy to control with the 6G gyro how about when you go and take it off the 16 go to 3D does it perform like a true 3D helicopter I don't know you tell me I need your expertise.
Hey guys, Perfect video for me, I am at THAT stage! The box for the XK K100 heli using X6 transmitter, it says you can set the hover point. Any idea how to do this or maybe even a video? Thanks! 🌈🌈🌈
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 RUclips 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 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.
I like it best when NO controls get inverted. Just a pitch range from -12 to +12 and the governor keeping the headspeed. Cannot imagine how to do piro flips and such with reversing switching channels.
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%
As soon as I go to CP mode I crash. My helis go from fun easy flying to slamming in to the ground. It’s like the CP switch is just a crash command switch. The only helis the shops sell are Blade helis so perhaps it’s an issue with the brand.
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
What an awesome and durable heli! Buy the XK K100 Mini here - goo.gl/amt1QA
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
With all the quads you review, there is something really elegant about flying a helicopter for a change!
I like the change of pace :) Need to get a larger one now so it's easier to film.
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
I know what you mean! I'm not sure I coukd ever fly as good as thise guys!!
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.
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.
Please let me know how your first flight goes! You will love this heli :) Amazing transmitter with this too!
Will do. It may be a couple of months before I can justify purchasing one however.
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.
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.
Weddings will wear you out won't they!? This was so much fun :) Thanks for tuning in Richard!
Yes they will! The stress of only having ONE chance to get it right probably help bring on my heart attack back in "09".

Thanks Johnny :) Lots to learn with helis but I think I've got a great one to learn on!
its really incredible how small these toys are and they are just Packed with technology. Another great flight and vid guys , keep it up !!
Thanks Matt :) Couldn't agree more about the tech built into these :)
Lol face hurts from all the smiles great little craft. You learned it fast
Just a word of encouragement, I've watched your videos and watched your family grow. God bless y'all, keep up the good work!

Thanks! We are slowly progressing in the world of Helis, but it is fun!
I like seeing u guys flying regular helicopters that was cool
This was a lot of fun :) I'm glad we got it!
You are FEARLESS!! Hat off to you
Thanks Tom :) Check out the end of our most recent brushless heli ;) I pulled off some fairly smooth flips!!
Y'alls dog is stressing me out lol. I keep thinking he's gonna run up and destroy it
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
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 !
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. 👏👏.

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!
JUST SWEET
Do you still have the walkera furious Nate?? 😊
I like how they packed everything separate in a box
I just got the 110. It's actually more durable than the 100!
Awesome video guys.
Yes, the 110 is the best of the 3 XK helis. The 100 is brushed so will wear out faster than the 110. The 100 and 110 do not break as easily as the 120. The 120 usually lasts just a few crashes, then you have to buy parts. I've crashed my 110 dozens of times, and just had to replace the plastic gear.
Great flying and recording , awesome intro with Popeye , keep up the great work can't wait to see the other video bye!!
you guys are the best

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!!!!
Thank you very much Todd :)
Nice Abby, gets my vote, she's a better heli pilot then me & some guys. 😎
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.😉
Thank you so much for that awesome support Edward! Anytime you need anything, if we can help, just let us know!
great review nate & abby
Excellent video Nate & Abby!! :)
Thanks Alan!
it's true what they say.... "Practice makes perfect"
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
Nice video guys!
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.

cool rc heli
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.
It's crazy how far technology is coming with these :) I loved flying this helicopter. Makes me want to keep practicing :)
Cool heli !! I like flying quads, but I love helicopters it takes a lot more patiences.
The extra channels are for colitive control (Blade pitch).
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 👌👍👍👍
Oi, I wear sandals (and without socks either lol) here in UK. :D
your a brave man 👨, and without socks! I do beg ur pardon, i take it all back, sandals must be the way to go, im obviously missing something, lol 😁
love the videos I think you met your match the collective pitch heli is the hardest rc to master hands down.
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'm sure they have come a long way in the last five years or so. This little Heli is great!
lol your dog cracks me up i like the channel subscribed too.
Y'all are awsome
Hi Nate and Abby. Would this be a good beginner helicopter. Thanks. Robert
Honestly yes because of the stability mode. Flies very well and easy to control in that mode :) Do t forget the coupon code in our description box :-D
Thanks. I think I will get it.
Omggg I never noticed how beautiful popeyes eyes were
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.
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
nice heli i think i might get this one thanks guys Popeye is the doggie great video peace thanks for this one
Nate, please allow Abby her own brand New fully charged batteries. we ALL know that she is a awesomely cool competent pilot. 👍😎❤ thanks Nate !
She requested that I fly first.
Cool Heli!! Great Video You Two!!
Thanks :)
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
other wise great job and yes please remember that it is a collective pitch heli which spins at a higher head speed so it could draw blood on you vary easy so I agree with the comment on keep it away from Popeye. and I am a heli guy so I you have any questions just ask.
Thanks for the great tips Ben :) Definitely have a lot to learn, but this is very fun! More so than I expected :)
lol, I'm not the best pilot in the world, but I understand because I'm self taught do to the fact there is no one in my area and know I'm teaching three kids and maybe more to fly.
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 !
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.
I admire your courage and spirit to try 3d Heli..., I try it once and give up.
Thank you Alexander!
You should want to fly more 3D flying helicopters
awesome bro,tomorrow i get my 3d helicopter..and yes im still learning ;-)
That is very cool! Happy Flying!
is this a better buy than wltoys v911s.
I just got this a week ago... haven't been able to fly it yet... thanks for the vid... :)
and I LOVE Popeye !... :D
Hello, very good job, fly my like! lost, and I must finish the review ..... I fly in mode 2, not in 3d, could you guide me ?, I set the oparameters of the manual to violate in normal mode, but it still does not take off, the gear is fine and I have many batteries , no way, and the engine works well, and boosted with a lot of power, but the helicopter still does not take off, I am desperate Saylor family !!!

In case I can't continue, I could take a few minutes of your flight, mentioning you of course, thanks for your help in any case, I would just take a picture of the drone. Thanks mate!
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.
This, or the brushless one is Definitely a good purchase :)
Dennis Lovelady when I was 4 I was really good but now I'm 10 and i'm really bad but I am really good at flying drones
Love your video's but what happens with all the toys after the vid
All real men burp Nate. keep it up.
Robbo
;-)
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
Thank you so much :-)
Nice Flight Test shirt!!
you guys have 12 people that are 1st. lol
Hi guys and thank you very much for your video. Cheers and happy flying.
I'm surprised you aren't first also ;-)
TheRcSaylors
just in my heart💙
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.
I gotta confess I looks exactly like My WL V977 only the Wl remote is gold in color
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.
Thanks for the great tip :) You are correct!
that's cool that it turns upside down
Is this truely that undistroiable or did you change the helicopter each time?
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).
Yes. Saves your motors from burning up too. Good idea for quadcopters as well. Turn those motors off just before you crash. Sometimes you can just tell you're going to crash. Try to flip that switch before you hit.
Your dog Popeye is so cute I'm sorry I had a Yorkie too. But enough for the chit chat I bought the XK 102 and it's a damn good helicopter perfect for beginners will just want to learning because the brushed motor provides just enough power but what's your take I'm the XK 100 helicopter do you think it's underpowered or overpowered is it easy to control with the 6G gyro how about when you go and take it off the 16 go to 3D does it perform like a true 3D helicopter I don't know you tell me I need your expertise.
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
Which throttle and pitch curve settings do you recommend for the K100 in 3D and normal mode? Or which settings have you used in the vid?
Hey guys, Perfect video for me, I am at THAT stage! The box for the XK K100 heli using X6 transmitter, it says you can set the hover point.
Any idea how to do this or maybe even a video? Thanks! 🌈🌈🌈
what's the fun in inverted flying ? helicopters are hard enough to fly without inverting them. 👍😎
Hahahaha, so true :) Just to say I did it I suppose :-)
TheRcSaylors . yep, it's the challenge 😎
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 RUclips 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?
Nice video keep it up !! 👍
Thanks :)
when are you going to announce the giveaway winners
like the video and love the channal keep up the good work
You need to learn how to use the collective pitch in reverse!
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. 😐
Ger8 job you lovely couple ! Thnx.
You need to turn on idle up mode to do 3d
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 ?
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.
I like it best when NO controls get inverted. Just a pitch range from -12 to +12 and the governor keeping the headspeed. Cannot imagine how to do piro flips and such with reversing switching channels.
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%
As soon as I go to CP mode I crash. My helis go from fun easy flying to slamming in to the ground. It’s like the CP switch is just a crash command switch. The only helis the shops sell are Blade helis so perhaps it’s an issue with the brand.
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
great video you guys I like that awesome ..nice to see Popeye ..
It was fun having him back out with us :)
