I got my 2 used Blede 200 Sr x's today and need some help. Im generaly new ro the hobby and as every noob does i wreked one of them imediatly. Does somone know good upgrade-blades for this moddel?

Does somone know why my second one is vibrating its ass of to the point it wont even start? Apreciate evey help.

Ecuse my writing im native german😅.

I asked a question previously about my helicopter bogging too much when trying to flip Since then I've replaced the batteries and the main gear (and tail boom as it was cracked) and its better but still lacks a bit of power.

On my opentx radio settings however I've noticed the rpm caps at around +72 on the curve (86 on 0->100). Is this an esc, motor or main board issue as I've just replaced the batteries and on all 5 it's the same issue?

I have made previous posts about my blade 230s helicopter and I finally got it back together and thought I would show you guys how it looks. For reference, I have already replaced the feathering shaft, the rotor grips, the bearings in the rotor head (yes I checked online to make sure they were put in the right way), the rotor head link, the main gear ( I checked the gear mesh and fiddled with it a bit so I don’t think it’s the issue) and the main shaft. Also, when taking it apart all the electronics ran fine and the motor spooled up no issues and the gear on it has barely any wear. I suspect this gap in the frame may be part of the issue, the frame might be messed up. What do you guys think it is?

Torn between the two as my first heli. S1 would cost me roughly $100 more than the XK. Which one would you go for in my situation?

Hey, all. Somewhat new to rc aviation. Just picked up a Blade 230s, and I'm looking to get the upgrades done from the start. I have ordered the cf frame, and cf main blades, and I like the look of the full body fiberglass canopy that's on microheli's website. Anybody have any experience ordering from them?

Many thanks. 🙂

i think its a fairly new charger so no reviews on youtube yet.

it says it charges at 0.8A so does that mean it will charge a 300 mah 2s battery at 0.8A or would it drop to 0.3A for 1c charge rate

I bought a fs-ct6b to get familiar with helis on the simulators before destroying several real ones. I have the 'simulator cable' which connects from the transmitter via USB straight to my pc. My inputs register in the "T6Config" app but not in any sims. The transmitter does in fact not even show up as a device in any of the sims I've tried (AccuRC2, neXt, heli-X). Any feedback on what could be causing this issue would be appreciated!

$159 at heli direct

Can someone provide tips how to glue main shaft etc together? Is there a break down pic?

My head flew off directly when launching it first time .Got now replacement parts and need guidance

I’m looking for a small heli to use in an indoor HS gym and my big backyard. I need self-leveling as I have a disability that affects my hands so on days I’m not confident in my hands I can still sport fly around. If it had bailout when I wanted to try the odd eD that’d be a bonus.

I have a 2nd hand blade 130s but don’t like it. I find it very sluggish and that it drifts and not very easy/enjoyable to fly.

Goosky S1, OMP M1, Align T15, Blade 180 Fusion, other? Anyone got a recommendation and reasons why?

And I need to be able to bind it to a Spektrum DX9 PREFERABLY or Boxer Crush

I can’t fly without one anymore, amazing the difference

I have been looking at lipo chargers that can charge 4 batteries at once. I came across this one and it seems like a decent charger. Has anyone had experience with this one? Does anyone have a different recommendation? Thanks in advance.

I'm looking for an easy to use hoist for my Goosky E2 UH-1Y. I don't need anything powerful, just enough to lift a lego figure or two. If anyone knows where to find a winch that fits a 483mm helo, please let me know. I also have no clue about electronics, so one that doesn't need too much electrical/wiring work would be nice. Thank you!

Hi all, I’m new here and I’m looking for some advice on my first Rc helicopter purchase, I’ve always been an RC car guy and own about 20 Rc cars but have decided I need a new challenge. I’m looking for something reliable that won’t break immediately under normal flying conditions, I’m comfortable doing my own repairs but ideally don’t want something that will require a tear down after a couple of flying sessions, also would prefer something that comes with a controller but not sure if I can find something that fits the bill. My budget is ideally around $200~$300 but don’t mind going a little higher if I can get something better with a little more money.

My wife got me an S2 for my birthday. I was super excited to get it flying, so today I rode down to the local hobby shop to get the stuff I need. I needed an XT60 female to XT30 male pigtail so I could charge the battery, and I needed a DSMX satellite to run it with my IX14. I also wanted to grab another battery or two so I'd have more than just the one that comes with the heli.

I just won a $30 gift certificate to that shop, so I figured this was the perfect opportunity to use it, and I'd be flying this afternoon as opposed to waiting for a delivery from Jeff's Hobby Shop (Amazon) or Helidirect. This shop has let me down in the past by not having stuff I needed, but today I wasn't looking for anything particularly specialized.

This shop is always a bit thin on heli stuff, but I was encouraged when I walked in and saw an S2 for sale on the shelf. Surely they'd have what I needed, since they had the exact heli I had in-hand. They didn't have a single thing that I needed. Not one item. Their solution for my charging dongle was either to sell me connectors to solder myself, or a convoluted daisy chain of multiple connectors to get where I needed to go. Of course, they offered to order it all for me and have it early next week.

I get it that a local shop won't have SAB parts, or a big selection of electronics for 700-class helis. They're a relatively small niche of a niche hobby. With that said, it's pretty disappointing that they didn't have even the basic stuff to get an S2 flying. That means that if some customer walked in and bought the S2 they had on the shelf, that customer wouldn't even be able to fly it without ordering more stuff online.

This speaks to a bigger problem for local small businesses, not just Hobby Shops. "I don't have it, but I can order it for you" is NOT an acceptable answer. I try to support local businesses. If I'm in the store that means that the item I'm looking for is urgent enough for me to drive to the store, plus likely pay more than I could pay online to get it in hand that day. I can order stuff just as easily as the shop, and I will likely get it in hand faster and cheaper, without having to drive back to the shop to get it.

People want to blame Amazon and other online retailers, plus big-box stores for killing local businesses. While this may be part of the problem, a much bigger part is that so many of these local businesses are still run like it's the 1990s where they have a captive audience that doesn't have other options readily available to them. Then they have the audacity to act like it's the customer's fault for taking their business elsewhere, as if those local businesses are entitled to the sale simply for being "local".

So guess what? I'm ordering my stuff from Amazon. It will be here Friday, and the local shop loses out on today's sale, plus it's just one more data point to remind me that it's not worth driving across town to try to get what I need.

Found a heli in the trash at work, just what you see there. When turned on, the lights on the side and front come on. The tail is bent (obviously) and it's missing a blade, and one of the tail supports. Has a 27MHz sticker on the bottom.

Just wondering what I'd need to do to get this operational. Is it worth doing. How much would it cost to do so. Or is there any value in this for anyone?

Need advise if I’m missing anything. Haven’t flown since the 450XL days

Hello I’m having a hard time finding out what the problem is i hope somebody who is more experienced than I am can help me out I am fairly new to the hobby.

So I was flying my blade infusion inverted just cruising then suddenly my tail started to wag like crazy so I flipped back landed it then proceeded to take off in normal mode as it was spooling up i could clearly tell it went way past what the throttle curve was like it was at maximum power , throttle curve is 65% in normal mode 70% idle up 1,100%idle up 2 same with the tail motor, it did the same thing in all modes I’ve reset my model on the tx input all the settings binded it and it still did the same thing. So it’s just been sitting

Now with the blade fusion 360s, this bird flew perfectly fine till I was in toward programming messing with the stability in different modes backed out of forward programming disabled rf to change a something on a channel assign turned rf back on it bounded up went back to forward programming added stability to idle up 2 and that’s it. So when I went to take off In normal mode the head speed went way past than what the throttle curve was which is 60% same thing In all modes

So at this point I’m thinking it’s something wrong with the d8xe like a bug or something or somehow I reprogrammed the esc on accident

The Dx8e has the latest update 2.11

Been out of this for some time not that I was ever super in. But I am wondering if this old radio would work with a modern flybarless setup

I have been flying collective pitch helis for a few years now and I was looking at upgrading to the newer 330s but I realized the price isn’t much more to get a fusion 360 and that has a carbon fiber frame as well as a metal rotor head and some other nicer parts. Would it be worth it to spend the extra on the fusion 360? I already have an NX8 and nice chargers and batteries if that helps so I won’t need to get an RTF model.

I have a Horizon Hobby blade 230s smart and it’s got a good number of flights on it been in a few wrecks but since the last wreck it’s been in it just hasn’t flown correctly whatsoever. It wasn’t even a bad wreck it just snapped one of the blade grips and I replaced everything that appeared broken. I should’ve taken a video but didn’t i’ve tried flying it 3 times since Ive fixed it and everytime it has vibrated like crazy so much to where the canopy starts coming of and the battery comes out of the velcro and out of its tray. I tried replacing the feathering shaft (spindle) as well as the main shaft main gear and the bearings in the rotor head but that didn’t fix it so I took the heli all the way apart. I haven’t seen anything major yet. I tested the electronics and no issues. But I noticed on the frame that this little piece snapped. I know this is highly unlikely but is it the problem? If not any other suggestions?

Im new to RC helicopters and I am building my first heli, a T-rex 500 DFC. I know absolutely nothing about heli flight controllers or flybarless units. Can anyone help me choose a decent unit that is simple to program and preferably around $100? Any general advice would be much appreciated.
