E-FLITE BLADE 230S - LEARN TO HOVER! AWESOME BEGINNER TO ADVANCED HELI!
***Please help support our channel by clicking the "Thanks" button***
This E-flite Blade 230s is perfect if you are learning to fly RC helis! This heli is very stable if you are just learning how to hover. She has three flight modes so she can grow with your skills. When you are ready to do some sport flying, flip her into IDLE UP 2 and she can deliver! The Blade 230s is also represented in Real Flight 9.5s. So, you can learn to fly her in the simulator then take your skills to the flying to fly the real thing!
Here is what we used for the video:

Thank you! She is not as intimidating as she seems! She is actually quite docile.
Nice Flight, youngman. 👍Got a couple of them . Fly them daily, Weather permitting. Solid Birds, perfect size for a Park Flyer.

Than you! I love the 230s for that specific reason!
Great Video thanks for sharing, very nice flying. I´m a absolute beginner in Helicopter flying but the 230 S looks very good to me. After watching your video with the 230 S I think .... I will give it a try ;-)

Thanks! I recommend you invest in Real Flight Simulator if you have never flown an RC heli before. Then use the 230s to practice your skills!

nice flying - my first heli for three years now - and im still experimenting wit new parts and settings. as i progressed in flying skills i wanted it to be more precise for sport flying and mild 3d. biggest improvements were : - full aluminium swashplate, - hard head dampeners, - plasticcarbon blades and changing the settings in the ar636 fbl unit/ receiver. totally different machine now !

Thanks! No, unfortunately, I’m attending a Coding class Summer school program.
Simple question. On my 230, when invert it, I always hit the ground and crash even though I'm reversing the throttle. What am I doing wrong, besides lacking skill?
A quanto me la metti la versione BNF per Spektrum?
Does the battery only last a few minutes?
@JonsRC
Жыл бұрын
The manual sets the timer to 5 minutes but I never get that. I usually fly 3-4 minutes depending on how im flying. Stationary hovers pulls more battery than simple circuit flying. 3D flying takes the most battery because I’m usually flying at +100% / -100% throttle when I flip it back and forth.
How does this fly compared to the model on Real Flight?

Hi! I think the Blade 230S on Realflight is one of the most true-to-life model they have on the simulator. It is very realistic, and you can hardly feel a difference when flying in real life!

How do you keep your tail stable? Mine is extremely twitchy. Out of the box, twitchy tail!

Honestly, I never had issues with the tail. I’m using the programming from the online manual for the 230s on my NX8. I use new Spektrum 3s 800mah 50c LiPos. If your transmitter supports forward programming, I know there is a “proportional” setting you can play with under the”Tail Rotor” section. You can move that value down or up to see if it helps the tail wag or twitching.

How is the remote it come with to at least get going and flying? Or is just better to save a while more?
