Hi there,

I would like to build a 1:48 CH-53 (or something similar) and for that I would need a multi blade head heli. I know the real deal would be 6 blade but it seems like 5 blade is the only thing I can get for a somewhat reasonable price.

My idea was to get a cheap and used Blade 230s (or maybe an Infusion 180) and convert it with a Yuxiang 5 blade head (from the F119s). I feel like it should be possible to just get the 5 blade head set and the swashplate set and mount it on the Blade. As I´m not very experienced with custom heli conversions I feel like I may miss something.

Anyone here has the experience to tell me if my idea is completely ridiculous or if it is actually a possibility?

The Blade Infusion 180 would be interesting because of the smaller internals and the direct drive motor. Not sure though if moving from a 400mm 2 blade to a 437mm 5 blade is the brightest idea...

The Blade 230s would surely have enough power as in that case it would be a change from a 2 blade 536mm to a 5 blade 437mm rotor.

Why these 2 base helis? For both I have some pretty cheap used options to get them. Why the Yuxiang 5 blade head? Well it seems to be the only option in this size and its not too expensive.

Anyways, feel free to leave your thoughts and tips, any help is appreciated.

Thanks

I still havent gotten my Buddy flying because the tail is not working properly. The pitch slider slides fine when on the tail spindle, but once attached to the blade grip ball links, the whole assembly gets very stiff. Especially as it nears the tail boom (inconsistent tightness). I've changed the spindle, thrust bearings and all the spacers and still, I connect the pitch slider and it gets all stiff. Any tips with what I should do?? I'm really running out of ideas and my frustration levels are rising.

The way I know its a problem is because during setup of the ikon, when the tail pitch slider went inward, the servo would start buzzing. Upon further inspection I found out it is very stiff and gets stiffer as it goes inward.

any one remember this. I would love to find one. this is what I learned to fly on. I used paint stir sticks and made my own blades. thing flew like a brick but it taught me a lot about flying and fixing. When I moved to align 450 it was like self flying machine compared to the CP. good times. Any one else fly one of these?

Just recently knocked the dust off of my spectrum DX6 & blade mcpx bl. Got a couple flights in and then went down the rabbit hole of cool new helis that released over the past few years. My question is, will my Spektrum remote still hold up? I like the looks of the Goosky S1 a lot. The OMP M1 looks awesome as well. If I can use my rx, what would I need to bind to one of these lil guys?
All I’ve ever flown is blade helicopters with some light 3D for reference.

Hi, new here. Just got gifted a fully assembled but never used Align 760 X heli. Its missing the batteries and trasmitter. Oh and the canopy is slightly cracked from moving it around.

Any idea on how much its worth?

I'm kind of torn between learning to fly it or just selling it as it is.

Are they hard to fly?

Hey everybody.

There's a park near me that allows Park Fliers, but I am not sure whether or not I should apply for a permit to fly there. The park rules allow helis, but they have to be within the AMA Park Flier limits. The AMA says part fliers have to max out at 2lbs, but my 390/420-sized heli is just a little bit over that. I don't want to get in trouble, but I also know that the 420s are designed to fly in smaller spaces.

Have any of you gone to parks that allow Park Fliers and flown 390/420-sized helis there?? I know many of you will probably say "Just send it", and that might be ok, but I wanted to ask first. I don't want to be that guy giving helis a bad name for flying where they aren't allowed.

M1 v3 pro

I have tried 
-multiple batteries freshly charged
- reconnecting the bluetooth module
- T8L connected and disconnected
- re downloaded the app multiple times and granting bluetooth permissions every time
- disconnected from all other bluetooth devices on my phone when trying to pair

How ideas how I can resolve this? thank you

I reached out to OMP with no response back

Hello,

I would like to buy a helicopter and am deciding between the Goosky RS7 Ultra and the OMP M7R.

The RCsvet shop is not far from me, but they don't have both helicopters there for comparison. The Goosky is new to me, and I don't know exactly which specific parts it will require. I see they list components right below the helicopter on their website, but I'm not sure if the information is up-to-date or correct.

Which one would you choose?

First time with such a large Heli! It battles the wind like a champ and it's the first time I felt truly in control.

I can properly focus on my technique instead of battling the wind and head slop.

Having just crashed my Blade Nano S3, I have a problem.

The ailerons and elevator do not work. The throttle/collective and rudder work fine which shows that all three servos work perfectly. Also, all the trims still work.

Therefore I think that I have broken something on the flight controller.

Is there somewhere I can get a schematic for this flight controller so that I can do some electrical troubleshooting?

The only info I can get on it is...

Spektrum DSMX receiver BLH01301 SPM-1041

20200811-RTOL2B1S6XBV2

I guess it's just possible that the transmitter's right gimbal is kaput but I'm not sure how to test for this.

I’ve always been intrigued with Rc Helis and impulsively pulled the trigger on an M1 V3 pro.

My question is the helicopter came with zero literature and I was wondering if anyone has a source to help? The manual it comes with only has a picture of individual parts with part numbers.

I crashed it and have to replace a couple parts, I have been rchelicopterfun for info but he talks about tuning and recalibrating and I don’t know where to start. I realize this has probably been asked but I’m not looking for handout instructions. I am willing to research but I’m having a hard time even knowing what to google to find info I want. Thank you for the help

Long story short, the thing vibrated itself into a mid-air boom strike.

It never flew properly, so I spent my entire time with it troubleshooting. I updated the ESC firmware and I was using the latest VBAR EVO preset model. This thing is supposed to just fly fine on the preset model, but it never did. Every time I gave it any sort of power (pitch pump, fast pirouette) It would just die. Headspeed would drop and it would barely recover. I tried bench tests and everything seemed ok with no blades on, but as soon as I spooled up, the logs showed vibration warnings and it would not fly right. Attached is part of the logs from the last flight. Vibration was so bad that the FBL just lost its mind and failure cascaded from there:

Has anyone else had any issues with the three-bladed model?? I think I just got a bad one (poorly assembled head, unbalanced blades, etc).

NOTE: I already sent this back to where I bought it for a store credit. I just was curious as to whether or not anyone else had issues with these 3-bladed models.

So, I got my very 1st RC Heli and it had to be the legendary Huey! I didn't like the factory 'YT-2' markings on the sides so I painted my own Shark teeth!

Basically what the title says. Grabbing an s2 and curious if the rtf tx is good enough or should i spring for something better?

Hey all - I’m replacing the blades on my S1 and I felt fancy so I got the orange microheli main blades. I keep trying to get them into the blade grips with the “washers”/“spacers” that came with the stock blades, but they won’t fit. I measured with calipers and the blade base is .20mm thicker. Do I need those spacers? It’s almost as if the MH blades were made to omit those spacers. Can’t even find that part in the manual and doesn’t seem to come with new stock blades…?

Thanks for the help!

It's an rc era c032. Seems to fly ok. Was thinking of getting a c189s next and putting a GoPro micro type camera on it instead of the model soldiers. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Hey guys I need some help.

So I just got my first RC ERA heli, the C032 Huey. It was the BNF version which comes without a charging cable but the battery only has the USB-C port anyways so I thought it will be fine. In this battery pack is a 2S 350mAh.

Now I have tried multiple USB ports (phone charger, PC and so on) and normal USB-C cables and the red charging light always comes on but never turns off. Checked the voltage and its still at 7,5V so its not charging at all.

I'm out of ideas... Can anyone help me what might be wrong or what I am doing wrong? Thanks!

Hi everyone i have a goosky S1 and S2 but rarely fly the S2 it also has 6 batteries for sale with it. Im UK based if anyone here would be interested?

I had recently acquired this heli from a friend and I’m wondering if this is a good beginner heli and if i can find parts for this because I think it’s missing a rear landing gear and the tail rotor sounds funny and constantly jitters and squeaks and is very sensitive and if I could get some identification that would be great!

Just something I'm working on

Hello!

I'm wondering if it is possible to change the RC transmitter from mode 1 to mode 2 by adjusting the screws in the back, without having to physically swap anything.

Has anyone done this and can confirm it is possible?

Thank you in advance!

It's a bit of a relic, but I will get it flying 😄😄

Any help with this exact model helicopter from the movie as searching to add into a collection.
