Well, I got mine and finished the setup in about 20 minutes (including Testing). Then went out front and flew it in my street in front of my home. It flew great and has a large presence in the air. This is one to get, and it will be a star. Thanks Brian!

Does it have a self leveling mode?

It’s definitely a cool little helicopter. It reminds me of the first foam fuselage helicopter, which was the multiplex fun copter. This helicopter will NOT do hard 3D. The tail will never hold. It’s not designed for that. That’s what a Pod and Boom is made for.

That heli is cool. Good job showing it off. Cheers

That is sweet looking. Now we just need a Huey body!!!

Really like it but it sounds funny. Like how the wheels cant back makes it look fast. Really proud of you guys and the way you have mastered the audio in your KZreads over the years.

i am always a fan of easy batt swaps. love the look also!❤

You can soften up the initial spool up by going into settings and adjusting the throttle curve or adding expo to your throttle. Great video, looks like fun!

Very cool! Can't wait to see what's next. Now that this system is working, I hope they'll make a few similar variations.

I like the quote "It's like flying a helicopter that is an airplane"... for sure helis like this bring in some new pilots that could have quit very fast after a couple of crashes with helis without safe or stability mode. And if they get the orientations and stuff right they might try to fly is without stability and might get the real feeling. It's always a good thing to bring in new poeple than to demotivate them right from the beginning!

Thats dope

Kind of pleasantly surprised that it takes "big boy" batteries. It ran through the 2200mAh 3s pretty quick, though. I guess fixed wing gives lipos more opportunities to recover, than helis. Love the Dam footage! Can't wait to see an actual Dam Pond soon! 👍

I love it. Thats my kind of flying too.

I like it!! Had been thinking I'd have to buy a 3-D model to fly scale. Not all of us are into 3-D!!

Waiting for the Blade Fusion 550 review! Easy build and a pleasure to fly now that our snow is gone here in Mass. I realize you have a time frame to get out your reviews to satisfy agreements with your suppliers but I think you would enjoy the result. The transmitter setup alone would be a great video.

That’s nice 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Aaaa thats what you were hiding in the last video. I like the idea of a foam body. This will definitely get people who take themselves way to serious angry. Its for cruising around not 3D but that wont stop people from moaning on forever about it.

Great looking heli- It's nice to see one flown like a helicopter and not flopping around and inverted and all that. It'll be interesting to see if other bodies come out- maybe some interesting aftermarket ones. If you've never done FPV on a heli- I highly recommend it... back in the very early days of FPV stuff, I ran a camera over the amateur tv band with a ham license with a manual gimbal under a .30 nitro powered Kyosho Concept. I guess quadcopters kinda reduced the enthusiasm for helicopters, because they really were challenging to learn before modern flight controllers.

Yes! Foam bodies for helis is a logical progression. Brian, the way you flew it around pretending to be in it is how one becomes good at flying helis. It's all about control and pretending to not kill yourself and the passengers. Maybe one day you'll be a snob too. Ha. If a pilot wants to practice smack then the simulator is where it's done. Brian. I like when you start flying forward more like an airplane. Please continue. The transition from feeling like a hell into an airplane is fascinating. Thank you for flying this bird. I could feel you really enjoying it. Props! or rather Blades!

This will make the heli pilots mad

For that price it would have made sense to do a scale ec145, even in foam form

Looks good, I don't think most people care or need to do stunts in stuff like this because there are tons of heli's that are designed to do this. With this heli it's more about smooth, scale flying and why I think the manufacturer missed the mark here a bit. Maybe they want to avoid paying some fee to original manufacturer, but if they had made this look like a real heli (kinda reminds me of a Gazelle) they would have won on all points, but hey, just one guys opinion. Also, most toy grade helis are smaller and they do NOT have GPS, some of the more recent ones look very scale and fly great. Many of what might be referred to as "toy grade" helicopters are every bit as good as "hobby grade", the main difference being they are not sold by HH dealers, lol. You are right, they are typically smaller but then you can fly indoors or out and also less damage occurs when crashed, bigger is not always better. Not bashing this helicopter, I hope they sell tons of them and people like them.

Awe man, I was hoping there would be a non-wheel (gear up) flight. I can see this repainted in Military colors and decals

Hello Brian, I have always been a loyal follower and would really like to know your feelings on the Blade - Eclipse 360 - BNF Heli, as I am a novice Heli Pilot and have a couple of Blade rigs now, but liked the looks and your video on this. I am more concerned about the foam fuselage and how all this plastic and foam will hold up, as I am just wanting something to use in the local park and my RC field for flights similar to yours. Is it really as easy as you show?

I wonder if you could install floats on a heli, like on a heli this size and land/take off from a very calm small lake? :) Taking off would probably need close to full power. But when landing, the blades would create rough water. Or maybe oversized Training gear sets with those round plastic balls. Just a silly idea I thought about :) I could imagine you would have some problems when it doesn't go straight up should a ball or two stick to the surface resulting in the heli to flip over hehe.

4:59 Perhaps you need a "Brian Phillips Theme song"??? ;) 9:20 YAEH! Why's they do that!? My new Blade 360 getting all out of sorts on spool up, main rotors AND even the tail rotors hitting the ground. tough to control for a hot second, then it smooths out. what gives? Any ideas or suggestions?
