I really really liked your video. I've been flying a direct drive brushless helicopter in 6G which is like safe and having a blast. But 3-D pilots have been looking down on me they don't understand if I'm having fun that should be enough… One of the reasons why I love your video so much is because your more real than all the other videos about helicopters. most people can relate to this… I don't even want to fly 3-D. I don't have the money for the broken parts either… All I can say thank you for being out here. And just enjoy and fly the way you want.

Good video. I went from a Blade S70 to a 330s, I love the 330s.

I got a blade 120s 180 fusion 2 230 v2, smart 330s and a 360 fusion. Favorite to fly is 330s.

Thank you, you have saved me a shed load of money, I was thinking of getting the 150 or 180 but I don't want a 3D monster, just something to cruise around with. I think I'll stick with my MCPX BL and MCPS helicopters.

Great video man i appreciate it, got a blade nano and absolutely love it, incredible performance for the money

230 s v2 are very fun . Like the 330s is more . Last time I checked it's belt !

Keep flying bro you are doing great. The aggressive flights will come gradually as your skill level and confidence level rises. I was were you are years ago but now I can fly the wings off your birds . It will happen. Stay on the sim .

Also you need I love the brushless mcpx it’s so powerful and flys so good

I like the teeny tiny Nano one!

Great Video CLEARLY demonstrating how expensive this RC Heli Hobby is. New piece of thin plastic canopy: $20+, New plastic swash plate assembly $20+, New battery due to damage of a single cell in the pack.....another $20+......I've seen guys go broke and/or clearly mismanage their financial priorities due to this hobby alone, not that I'm implying you're guilty of such. - Best advice I can give you - Purchase a single heli (even a 700 Class) with safe mode/ bail-out, give yourself plenty of altitude for mistakes and learn on ONE helicopter instead of confusing yourself with a variety of flight characteristics.

Great advice. I have the same issue as the op. You find the tail settings are so different between helicopters. I'd say for that reason alone go with one.

Had plenty of blade helis back in my early days of flying. The mcpx v2 was the heli that taught me. Flew it EVERY day learning the basics. Now I fly the big boy helis doing big air stunts and 3d.

Just got the 150s Livley little heli lol good power..

Might be worth using a very dialed down setting as per John Salt (on rc helicopter fun) lots of expo, reduced dual rates and reduced pitch curves to make it less twitchy. The 150 is a great little bird when dialed in but it's a handful straight out of the box on recommended settings. Took me 6 months to get mine flying how I wanted it.

@@jakesrcflying8601 I think you can fly fine, you are dealing with confidence. I highly recommend taking it slower and trying to do simple hovering in idle up without the safety net of SAFE. Safe is great for beginners but also teaches you that you can be rough on the sticks to get it moving around vs idle up were you need to be much more gentle and deliberate with inputs. Its totally different than being in safe and holding the stick in a direction. The right way is to learn to tilt the rotor head and control the momentum you get when the heli starts moving in that direction.

Have a 150s and Fusion 180. Got advance enough to the point the 150s tail could not hold in fast tail forward flight. Switched to the Fusion 180 and was blown away with the tail performance. It held excellent with everything I through at it, albeit there was tuning necessary on the PID's.

love the video

A bigger heli is way more stable too. My first heli was a TREX 550E. Loved it. Fast, stable, easy to see. I found it easier to fly than an MCPX

What are your opinions of the Blade MCPX BL2.

Hi I have a blade nano s3 I got awhile back and was wondering how you switch flight modes and go upside down. I have a spectrum dx6i is it my radio?

Any thoughts on the blade 230s? I’ve been looking at it as a possible upgrade from my Eachine e160

My 330s will be here tomorrow 😃

I do believe the 330s is belted

Have you ever tried direct drive helis like the OMP M1 or M2? I have started with a Blade 230S V2 and it was fun, but these little birds with direct drive motors for the main and tailotors are so much more stable and have a lot more power. Worth to try them for sure.

I loved my 911s until my buddy had to one up me and buy a 120s so I had to go out and buy a 450 lol

Thumbs up. More people should care about small helicopters for their natural high endurance of flight time. I modified my 230s to become a FPV helicopter at 249 grams and HD onboard video recording that flips/dives/snaps with 35 minutes of flight time per charge. No quads under 250 grams can ever beat that, not even professionally designed DJI. They either have to change a battery and going over 250 grams, or they have to turn off HD video and turn off FPV and navigation and make the drone fly in a circle at constant speed to get that advertised 35 minutes per charge, and even then, they can't flip/dive/snap.

Just a heads up. Using safe all the time is a bad habit. When you move onto a 600 up and don’t have it and get in trouble you may not know how to correct it if you don’t practice it. I got into that habit when I bought a 300 cfx and when I got back flying my old raptor 50 I slammed the ground reaching for the safe switch lol.

Safe definitely makes it a lot easier on your wallet that's for sure 😁 Saved my butt many times. 😆 Cool helicopters Keep it up 👍🏻✌🏻

Dude get the brushless conversation kit for your nano it’s not a huge upgrade but does make it a bit more powerful which is what it needs.

At least you showed you're inexperienced, lol. 😂 I'm a fan boy of HH. And blade. They are cheap compared to a real one. However, the buyer still needs to set up. If you expect it to fly awesome out of the box, it's hard to come by. (There have been a few in my life).. Once tuned, they are great, helis. But no quality control, that's on you. Lol. The 180 is my next buy. And the 150, lol. Learn to fly that 150. Or 180. The 330 is flying you, and that's not good. Too big. I've had most, 10 years ago. Getting back in, I bought the 230 and 330. Love em both. I need to figure out the tilt when I hit panic on the 330. But it's the same as my old 450x. Other than new lol. Have fun and be safe

Absolutely!

The best Heli for a beginner will always be a 500. It's the sweet spot. It's stable which anything below isn't (Dot fly with DPS and all other 'helping' adds - Learn to fly is much better,) The pricing is right, buy a used one, and team up with a guy that actually can fly. Spares are affordable, it rockets up in $$$ from a 550. The smaller are way too twitcy and most beginners will get very frustrated with the small heli's The 500 flyes like a much bigger heli, and that makes it much more easy to learn how to fly it. And DON'T start beliving 3D is what you want to learn as a beginner.
