I picked up my S2 today. the thing is so well built. it looks huge compared to the S1. incredible to just hold it in my hands. the craftsmanship is outstanding!
I began with DRONES, then added CARS/TRUCKS/BOATS, then after I mastered those I added HELICOPTERS and finally PLANES. I would not be surprised that after you enjoy the Helicopter you will soon add something else. The hobby is addictive.
that's a big step up! I wish you well! remember, it's usually not the left or right stuff that wipes you out... it's that darn up and down stuff! when you launch the heli. get altitude quickly and remember, the ground is the enemy! good luck! And welcome to a great community of aviators.
okay! i admit, I'm a huge fan of Ben Storick. he is finally getting the credit he deserves. Goosky smoked them all with the Legend series. the S1 is art. flys like a dream. normal mode is super predictable and stable. the tail hold is unbelievable. stunt 1 is perfect. a lot of authority, yet ultra smooth and predictable. stunt 2 us freaking awesome. overpowered, maybe, but perfect. I am picking up an S2 at the post office today! I'm budgeting for the S4 next month. i want to build an S7. Thank you, Ben Storick and HeliDirect. Thanks to you for a great and very informative video. beginners should try the Goosky. i bet they won't be sorry! It's ready for pros, too. It's a helicopter that won't break you trying to fly a 3D ship. The self-leveling on normal mode will save people money and frustration. The thing is as close to perfect as it can get, apparently.
I thought about getting a stunt chopper, but I built a grandfather clock instead, then I thought about the chopper again but bought the DJI FPV after seeing your videos, and love it.
@CAPTAINDRONE798 grooming it is everything. I kept like a constant stubble but it's consistent. I've tried to grow a real beard and it's doesn't turn out well.
What a name?! The goofly😅😂 thats hilarious. He sent the goo flying.😅😂 But wow what a cool looking set-up. I love that massive main rotor motor. For such a small heli that thing could do some damage and at fullspeed full send, that thing must be lightning fast!! Ahh Jacques agreed with me. I am writing this as im watching.lol Really cool bird. Im just afraid to check the price. Thanks Steve another great review.
Well done Captain (and Jacques!) great looking / flying RC however............the "Name" !!!! "GOO" (Sky) ; sounds like you should get a complimentary tube of adhesive !!!!!
Fun video ! 😃 I can’t help but remember some of the guys in our old R.C. Club trying to learn how to fly nitro powered helicopters 45 years ago. They literally attached a leash to the copter that would only let it rise 3 or so feet so they could learn how to hover without a crash or fly away.🤣 Anyway, Great review Cap !!
@Bittoo_king I can tell you it is a lot of work (often it can be more hard work days then fun days). Start small like I did and everything grows automatically.
Impressive little heli, and also, excellent video production, thank you for your time and dedication to deliver 💯 quality content. My only constructive feedback is to please state the purchase price at time of video. Banggood are famous for raising the price within days of release, reviews etc.
Thank you for the kind comments. Please note that you won’t find very many international RUclips channels that will say the price. This is because over 100 countries see these videos and the price makes no sense to them because if you don’t live in the USA and you then go to the website and look at the price… It will be different than what was said (prices are different for many countries). In addition, there are unfortunately plenty of slightly less intelligent people that just LOVE TO POINT OUT that a video is fake or false because the price said in the video is incorrect from what they discovered when they looked. So as you can see, many RUclipsrs outside the USA no longer say the price in the video… unless of course the item is super inexpensive (way under $100 US).
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 My son e88s drone came today as well which you reviewed,he will be very happy when he gets home from school! I've just started the S1 on begin mode it's quite a little beast,the weather here in the UK today is awful so no flights today sadly,I don't trust my self to fly it in the house lol. Thanks again 👍
Love your video work. Just got this model in about 1hr. Ago and was looking for first flight footage when I ran across your video... did like and have subscribed. Thanks 😊.
Good that Heli,s are getting easier to fly after all we do,nt want to crash them I have the YU XIANG F09-S scale helicopter its expensive but thanks to GPS flies great love your video,s and all the information you have mostly I fly r/c aircraft but now+then I will try helicopters with the old-school flying everything was damaged GPS is the way to go .I also think that if manufactures make bigger GPS helicopters they would "fly" off the shelves .
Hmmmmm..............interesting comment from your friend about not much banking in stability mode. I'm a sports flier only (6G) and mine gives more than enough banking angle in stability mode when in high rates!
Unfortunately in 6G stability no heli on the market will give the same banking as in Acro/Manual/3D mode (the stability mode stops such from occurring).
Probably but I’ve never bothered to try it. My suggestion would be to bind it turn your RC radio that you’re used to. If your radio runs on OPEN TX then there should be plenty of RUclips videos showing how to set up a helicopter model in any number of popular OPEN TX radios on the market, like RadioMaster or Jumper for example.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I've got a RM TX16S but was still going to get the Goosky TX for an all in one easy carry package, I guess I'll find out 😊 thanks mate 👍🏻
Thank you for the video! With T8 Tx, how do you know when to land to not over-discharge the heli's li-po? Is there some kind of audible alarm triggered by a built-in timer which can be adjusted on the app? I don't think there is telemetry, right?
Question 🙋🏽♂️ Is there a way to get the 6g stabilizer system on a bigger 400-550 size heli? Or is there more helicopters out there with similar systems but same quality as these Gooskys?? Thanks in advance
Fair point and good advice. As an owner of a Blade 230S V2 and a Trex 130X I'm currently in the market to replace on or the other. I'm looking at both OMP and GooSky with their comparable offerings. GooSky is edging out the OMP M1 and M2s so now it comes down to size. The S1 field needs are smaller but the S2 is more capable.... decisions, decisions. Thanks for your comment 👍
Besides being 3 years newer, what are the differences between this and my two OMP Hobby helicopters? My large one is broken at the moment but I think the small one is rtf. I have not touched them since we bought the small farm we now live on two years ago but I have finally gotten life settled down some and am pulling my old RC stuff out of the cobwebs at last.
I have all the OMP helis and they are certainly good. Goo-sky is the competition to OMP and their goal is to always outdo OMP. When you fly this one you’ll immediately notice the difference.
Hey was it out of the box binded with the transmitter? I got mine today in rtf version too and it was not bind. I am wondering if its really flying good out of the box... i have'nt tryed cause the weather is not that good and maybe I will get it on my table first to check all parameters like pitch and everything..hope everything is setted up fine to get up in the air as fast as the weather allows it.
nice review! I'm getting back into the hobby. my last helicopter was an Align 550L in 2015. I saw the review from Ben Storick and ordered an S1. it arrives on Thursday. I didn't know that it came with a charger, and bought a new one also. Oh, well. better to have too many, than too few, right? Finally, a battery that is replaced without removing the canopy! yes! my first RUclips flight was in 2015. please enjoy. also, sorry about the audio! I never got around to adding music 🎶 edit: ruclips.net/video/zd4SIdltaoA/видео.htmlsi=LehDEnU9xu_uKPHs
Hey captain drone, I have an interesting question. I am trying to control an S96 drone with my nintendo switch but the Wifi UAV app unfortantley crashes on the system. I did however get one app to work! And that was the KY UAV app. However, the camera feed does not connect :( Do you know of any other apps that would work with the S96 drone? Thanks a bunch - Carl
Goosky is not the DJI of heli market and second a drone is way easier than 3D helis , if you fly a drone it doesn’t mean you fly a heli unless it has stabilization like drones have, so basically It would be a heli drone boring to fly
It takes years to become a popular reviewer on RUclips, and that is accomplished by honest reviews. If so many reviewers enjoyed this heli, it is simply because it is indeed an enjoyable heli. If there are items you don’t like about it, that is perfectly fine as videos are not designed to force anyone to LOVE a product for the simple reason products are like ART & the MOVIES… there will always be lovers, neutral and critics.
I picked up my S2 today. the thing is so well built. it looks huge compared to the S1. incredible to just hold it in my hands. the craftsmanship is outstanding!
Just ordered this one today for my first heli since it was on sale for $191 ... cant wait! Familiar with rc cars figured id try flight

Good morning captain nice helicopter cool review
awsome review steve as always.

Fantastik , and entretening , ideal,

Snow a little bitt late this
year ehh Cap?
Usually starts begining Nov..
Mid December is normally when the snow stays for good, but in November we get snow that arrives then melts away.
full gear digital metal servos ? do you think full metal gear digital servo ?
Can you assign the switches, I usually arm Heli’s on the left, muscle memory will be hard to change, thanks Heli looks great

Hello Captain Drone, Best reviews as always. Do you recommended Goosky over the Omphobby m1 Evo? For beginner/intermediate level. Thanks
Yes, Goosky is newer technology.
Question 🙋🏽♂️
Is there a way to get the 6g stabilizer system on a bigger 400-550 size heli? Or is there more helicopters out there with similar systems but same quality as these Gooskys?? Thanks in advance
Stability is very common in all sizes of Helis today.
You start by saying there's nothing else like it on the market... but there's the OMP M1 which this is based off, and they're at similar price points!
As an owner of the OMP M1 and M1 EVO, this heli is more modern & feels way more locked in. The M1 is simply older technolgy.
Fair point and good advice. As an owner of a Blade 230S V2 and a Trex 130X I'm currently in the market to replace on or the other. I'm looking at both OMP and GooSky with their comparable offerings. GooSky is edging out the OMP M1 and M2s so now it comes down to size. The S1 field needs are smaller but the S2 is more capable.... decisions, decisions. Thanks for your comment 👍
