AHHHHH finally a company has started selling these kind of century style Hughes 500 helicopters. It's quite rare to get these types of helis

I’m convinced tractor man is a fan of the channel with how many times he just so happens to be in the same spot you are at the same time!

I really like that they are bringing out RC helicopters that look like real ones. There was the Huey, the Blackhawk, the small Bölkow BO-105 and now the Hughes MD500E, which is the lastest version of the helicopter that many may know from the original Magnum P.I. TV series. Very cool. Personally, I never liked most of the RC helicopters since they looked more like flying alien aircraft that anything real...but that is just me.

That’s why I like manual take off because you can keep control of the heli as its rising and respond to any gusts that may occur keeping it centered and not drift into the pilot or something 😂 cool video!

That's a nice helicopter

good one ! love from india

Thank you, you've saved a couple of times when the manual was unclear or just wrong.

I have this RC Heli. I'm pretty sure it's collective pitch over fixed pitch like alot of the cheap helicopters. I know this because when you test the controls with the controller on the ground, the throttle button changes the pitch of the blades. On a fixed pitch helicopter, nothing would happen when you hit the throttle. It would just increase speed of the motor when its rotating. But it's not traditional manual collective pitch like many of the more advanced RC helicopters. It's somewhat automated with the altitude hold and now they are making them with optical flow, which I need a brighter day to fully test that. I got the Optical flow and figured if I didint like, I could figure out how to disconnect it. It was like $8 more than without.

Still waiting on mine but I’m excited

Nice heli, and nice flying skill👍

Hello, good video 👍😲

awsome review captain

you can ditch that radio and use a multiprotocol with your tx16 or other radio with module bay. but this radio makes sense. because with my tx16, my throttle is not spring loaded and it causes some jerky movements for this model, since its automated.

Mrs Steve how are you,hope you are doing well! Anyway, please let's not forget to do that walkera t210 mini review .,come on don't keep us waiting!

Cool in-flight footage Captain! :-)

the wire on mine broke . I say dont glue it in . when you take off the wind shield to put in the batttery pull the spot out light out from the slot then put it back in when put the battery back in.you need to find a open field until learn to contorl the heli.

Hey Captain! Could you make a video of the Cfly faith mini vs. the new Potensic atom se with the 3 axis gimbal? I want to buy one of these and your input is very valuable to me. You are the king of drones, without question!!

Awesome.

Compared to the F06 EC135, which one is better to fly and easier to control? Thank you very much.😊

Nice review! I remember buying cheap Syma IR coaxial copters and then quadcopters almost 15 yrs ago. That got me into the FPV drone building hobby with race-quads and Tiny whoops, but I always configured betaflight to have the rudder on the right stick because I was so used to flying these damn cheap coaxial copters. Is the left stick throttle and yaw and right stick pitch and rudder? Seems like it would be easy to add a 5.8ghz FPV cam to the nose. That would be fun to fly!

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I think toy makers simply refer to two different flying modes as mode 1 and 2 for simplicity's sake, but technically, I think what I'm talking about is actually know as mode 4, whereas most drone pilots in the US fly mode 2 and a lot of Europeans fly mode 1

counter clockwise rotating main rotor and port mounted tail rotor are very scale.

hey steve you put your fire storm missles tubes on the inside . your guns on the outside .In real life well you know.but it looks cool that way to . I was going to change mine but too lates already glue them in. maybe on the next heli if I crash this one.I post my md500 c189 on youtube check it out brother.attacking a whs. complex in south houston.I use a food timer to see if its 17mins . Its realy 16.5mins and then the alarm goes off to let you know that your out of juice from the battery.I also found you can bind 2 c189s on one radio. but they wont sale you just the helicopter.

Nice scale model! Shame there's no 3D flight option, even though it seems like it has a variable pitch rotor system. Is it possible to pair it to a multi protocol Tx, with setup options, to allow for more fun?

I agree, I can't do 3d but do fly in 3 axis, acro, no auto level, whatever you want to call it. Would it be that hard to shut it off. These things look great but the 6 axis only kills it for me. Also it could probably be bound to a Tx16s but I don't know if you can change the modes or set no auto level. Until I see the hack I wouldn't get it.

If there is no GPS in an RC Product, then you can't have a "FLY AWAY" event. if your heli flies away, it is simply because you flew on a windy day and the wind took it.

6 ай бұрын

You can trim, but honestly no one ever trims helicopters because they fly with the wind. If indoors in a super large room, then trim would have an effect.

looking for a good stable helicopter with good tech like altitude hold and stability. just to fly around at the park there seems to be none around lately.

@CAPTAINDRONE798

5 ай бұрын

I have reviewed plenty that meet that criteria. For the type of stability a total beginner needs would be GPS, so look for a helicopter that also has GPS. Only downside is you then can only fly outdoors and prices are higher. If you have a tiny bit of hand/eye coordination skills when using joysticks then you could look for a much less expensive helicopter with optical flow and altitude hold (that will give you indoor/outdoor stability positioning when there is no wind).

hey steve what do you think is the highest wind speed the C189 MD500 can take .I think its 7 knots . please advise if you know.if you put it up to speed rate 3 will that be powerful enought?the movie you are talking about is FIREBIRDS.
