Just received the heli. Packed nicely and no damage. I charged the battery and went for the maiden flight. This is a rock solid mini. It only took a few clicks of trim to maintain a stable hover. My biggest initial concern was the Tx. I like to fly with my thumb and index finger. The included Tx is comfortable enough to allow this type of control. So far I have not broken anything as a result of object strikes. I have crashed it plenty, but have not had any damage.
The manual vaguely indicates being able to switch rates with the left stich on the Tx. I have not been able to access this feature to date. I tried holding the throttle stick to the left according to the instructions ,no really difference.

Im flying this thing in my office. IT'S INCREDIBLE!!! It's really nice. I've never flew a heli and this is so easy to fly, I've ordered an extra batt and continue flying while the other battery is charging in my desk PC. Very good performance outdoors in low wind conditions. I'm so happy with my new incredible cheap toy.

Great little copter! Bought it in early Jan. with some extra batteries and parts. It arrived in good shape with no damage. I charged the battery and flew it within minutes. It required very little trim, although the body/frame leans to the right a bit, it flies straight and true. It is now May and I have experienced many crashes indoors and outdoors and only recently had to change the blades. It is a tough little copter, but don't fly it outside unless there are no breezes (remember, it only weighs an ounce/24grams). This was bought as a step to allow me to progress from a coaxial to a fixed pitch to a collective copter. It has performed in a most excellent manner!

Controller was dead. Decided to RMA it. That was two weeks ago and still haven't heard from HK. Hindsight being 20/20 I should have just ordered another one and used the dead heli for spare parts. Oh well live and learn

Hallo,

ich mchte kurz meine Erfahrungen teilen. Das Modell wurde innerhalb von 5 Wochen geliefert und war fr mich beim Zoll abzuholen. Das Modell eignet sich ideal als Umstieg von einen Koaxial-Heli. Das Modell zeichnet sich durch ein relativ stabiles Flugbild aus, es lsst sich auch fr Anfnger in einem Groen Wohnzimmer bewegen. Wenn es windstill ist macht der Hei auch im Garten richtig Spa und kann sehr schnell werden. Die Teile des Modells sind stabil und haben bei mir schon einige Strze ausgehalten. Brauchbare Flugzeit 4 - 5 Minuten dann wird der Akku schwach und man muss immer wieder Trimmen. Flugzeit maximal 7 - 8 Minuten.

This little heli has surprised me because it flies really well, even if it is very cheap. The controller is not great, but it works fine, even if the rudder control isn't too precise. It's stability is great, my coworker has never tried helis before (but he flies planes) and he hovered right away with this
little FP. Forward flight is OK, but if one clips of 0,5-1 cm of the rotor tips, performance is quite a bit more spirited, at least with 160 mAh turnigy lipo.
It is quite tough, but order a few extra rotor blades, those are the parts that break.

Have fun

Dieser Heli fliegt aus der Verpackung heraus exzellent. Dank 4 Kanal Steuerung lt er sich konntrolliert fliegen. Die Grenze des Mglichen ist im Moment der Pilot. Trotz einiger Kollisionen ist noch nichts zu Bruch gegangen. Schade das kein Ersatzakku fr dieses Modell angeboten wird.

I wouldn't recommend this. I brought this a while ago, got it out the box, all fine. Until I came to actually fly it (in doors). The tail rotor didn't work. So I contacted HK support team and they were very helpful, they told me to send it back to them. So I did.

This might not happen to anyone else but this was my experience.

Great little heli, especially outdoors on a still day. At the same price however I reckon the FP100 has the edge. (Why has it been taken off the site in the last day or two???) It's a better design with proper servos and the tail doesn't blow out as it has a longer boom. It's also more responsive and flies where you point it.....the HK190 on the other hand is a little floaty and can be a handlful...... watch those nose dives during full speed forward flight.

Either of these machines however, at around 30 bucks is a bargain.



PS: the HK136 transmitter is the same as this ones so you can use one for both.

Actualmente tenia un GW 9958. Quera un segundo y compre el HK-190. Este que me llego de Hobbyking era incontrolable de volar, pegaba bandazos y las maniobras dentro de casa eran imposibles, la cola no haca ms que pegar tirones. He tenido que cambiar la corona, el eje y el motor que sonaba que pareca que iba a explotar.
Ahora hace estacionarios como un coaxial. Creo que deberan comprobar el material que venden antes de hacer los envios ya que este mismo comprandolo una persona sin experiencia, el Helicopterio acabara en la basura y esa persona frustrada.

Por lo dems es muy estable si lo vuelas con la emisora Turningy 9x y altamente recomendable volarlo con esta. La emisora de "serie" es muy dura y pierdes precisin a parte del poco alcance que tienes en la calle.
Este Heli no tiene sistema de seguridad, es decir que si pierde la seal en vuelo el motor queda encendido mientras duren las bateras y seguira volando sin control. Por lo que antes de volarlo en la calle, revisa bien las pilas de la emisora y recuerda que la emisora tiene un alcance medio de unos 40 metros.


Saludos y buenos vuelos!
