Aww no Harley!! See what worried me was a lot of the guys I spoke to, and myself had sent their 330's back to Horizon, now you would think that the first thing Horizon would do is update the firmware!! As like they said to you the old firmware has a bug!! But a lot of the Guys get their Helie's back and there still the same,as was mine, do you think your blade strike was caused by the grass or the dreaded leaning over on take off? I feel your frustration mate!! Was there much damage? Or did it just bend the linkages, hope it didn't strip any servos!! When I looked into my issues I read on a forum that somebody had written who worked for Horizon that you shouldn't take off in normal mode but in flight mode 1, which at the time I though was a cop out!! This Heli is aimed at Beginners and intermediate pilots who are going to want to fly in SAFE mode!! It might be an idea to get yourself a take off board like I use!! Mine is just a floor tile ( wooden ) covered in non slip rubber, does seem to help on take off 👍
I'm not surprised everyone sent them back to be honest! It's just a complete pain, urmm nope it definitely wasn't the grass it just has a nasty lean on take off. It's happened twice now and both times I have bent or lost a Flybarless linkage, not the worst thing to break but still annoying! Yeah generally I take off on a tarmac section where that park is but I didn't want to incase it lent on me again, I figured the grass would be more part friendly haha! So you recon to try and have off in stunt 1 ?
No not really mate!! When mine crashed it was because I took off in stunt one and switched to SAFE and it just drifted out of control and crashed, I was just saying how full of crap they are!! I think the best thing to do is put the Heli on a level surface and switch from flight mode 1 to normal and see what the swashplate is doing!! If it leaning forward and to one side then it still has the issue which will cause it to leen around on take off, I then used the attitude trim to get the swash plate to stay the same between both modes, disconnect your motor so you don't have to use hold as that could give you a false reading👍
@@IansRCExploits I really watched all your videos and Harleys bc Im having all the same issues and now mine crashed after take off and all sorts of damage occurred. Im so pissed and HH told me it can take up to a year to get back. Im so disgusted and now they have a broken copter and Im out $450 bucks until I get it back and when I get it back!! UGH!!!!!
I had the same issue and as I said in your 1st video, now Im sending mine back to HH and its going to be forever to get it back. I didnt even have it out for a min and it crashed from a very erratic behavior. Im so pissed off.
Damn I hate to hear that, I just bought a 330S and mine runs fine. I will say that it does get a little tipsy and start wonder around on its sled about half way through the spool up. I just simply correct and counter it’s movements when it starts to wonder and then it settles back down and is stable. SAFE seems to have a hard time stabilizing this heli around the 50% throttle curve of the initial spool up, idk why. Just take it off in stunt 1 and it won’t do it.
@@mangzrc sent mine back and I will wait and I got the 230s rtf kit to practice more but this what happen to me was a disaster. I can fly jets, all sorts of planes and more and just did nice inverted flight with my friend with my f16 and his mig like they did in the movie top gun and nobody is going to tell me how to fly. so this was pathetic on what happen.
You need to go into forward programing and switch on stability, and if it reads off then turn it on. If that does nothing re set alt.trim,roll 250 and pitch 0... then set the swashplate level. This improved my 330S a 100 % ....
Hahaha mine works great you really just need to get some learning it's not a drone you need to fly it and not expect it to fly it's self welcome to the hobby at least was a very quick crash hahaha
Thank you for sharing - this is the kind of stuff prospective buyers need to see.

If it's doing that, you need to run calibration and do a trim flight after calibration.
I can clearly see your right thumb roll to the right before impact. This was caused by the user and not the firmware. Come on man! 🤦♂️
Fbl helis need flat surface to take off.becoz if it tilts little gyro starts correction.
Looks to me that he is actually giving left aileron input which if anything should help cancel out the heli tanking right
Nah man you didn't set it up right
Hahaha mine works great you really just need to get some learning it's not a drone you need to fly it and not expect it to fly it's self welcome to the hobby at least was a very quick crash hahaha
your right thumb is the problem
Dude, never take off from grass. Always take off from a hard surface, this was your fault, not the heli's.
Blade is trash and only beginners defend it
Sry, happens on everyone ,but it's a pilot prob 😅
