Eachine E160 RTF Flybarless Brushless 6G 3D RC Helicopter Flight Test Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 сер 2024
- This RC helicopter is not for beginners. It is intended as an entry level hobby grade helicopter for pilots wishing to advance from toy grade brushed motor helicopters. It's fully capable of 3D acrobatics. But I recommend that new helicopter pilots forgo the urge to hit that 3D switch until you put some simulator time in, and are fully comfortable with flying it. The E160 may be purchased here www.banggood.c...
The RC simulator dongle and cables that I used with this controller may be purchased here. RC simulator software is also included, although some have had issues with installation of the software. If you have problems installing, you may be able to download other simulator software for use with this dongle. The dongle and cables are the most important items, and this price ain't bad for them bit.ly/RC_Simul...
Pros
- Hobby grade helicopter that would be the next step above the Eachine E119. Fully capable of 3D acrobatic flight, including inverted hover.
- 156 grams with battery. Does not require registration in most countries.
- Ready to fly with included Futaba compatible (S-FHSS) transmitter and installed receiver. Can also install optional Spektrum (DSM2/X), PPM and SBUS receivers for use with other transmitters if desired.
- Nylon/carbon fiber damage resistant rotor blades.
- All metal rotor hub with metal pitch horns, plastic (but thick) pitch control links, metal swashplate, metal control rods. Swashplate is fully functional with true cyclic and collective control.
- Three high precision servos for controlling the swashplate.
- Brushless 1308 Hulk main motor.
- Carbon fiber, damage resistant tail boom.
- Brushless 1104 tail rotor motor.
- Three included 7.4V 700mah batteries, each capable of producing close to 8 minutes of flight.
- Six channel (I counted eight) transmitter controller with 1) Throttle (collective), 2) Pitch, 3) Roll, 4) Yaw. Switches include 5) Idle, 6) 3D/6G, 7) Low/High Rates, and 8) Throttle Hold.
Cons
- Although 6G stabilization is included to ease flying, this powerful brushless helicopter is not intended for beginner fliers. Its high speed rotor blades can cause damage to whatever they impact. I would also not recommend this for indoor flying for the same reason.
- Metal main motor pinion gear engaging plastic main gear. I can see it easily stripping the plastic gear in a crash. Fortunately a spare main gear is included.

Thank you SO MUCH!
I’m new to helicopters and didn’t really understand the manual.
Your instructions are EXCELLENT!
All the other videos no one really explained the switches.
Knowledge of the switches are extremely important for the safe operation of this helicopter. I'm kind of shocked that they didn't.
Is it just me, or are helis making bit of a comeback? The first RC flying dealie I ever flew was a stocking-stuffer heli at xmas 2012. Then all of a sudden, it was all about quads. Full circle!
I dont think they are making a comeback, however the models are getting much easier to learn on since the smaller flybarless models are way more robust then say a collective pitch heli from 7-8 years ago. Back then a learner heli like a Blade 450 would not even take a minor stack without a lot of parts breaking.
Hi mike thanks for getting back to me really appreciate it I will give that a go .
I smashed my last 160 so im using it as parts donor , I've just ordered another 160 , they don't tell you when purchasing whether its mode1 0r mode 2 that way I asked.
Hope you are still flying Helis .
Pulled the trigger today! Love the review!
Thank You, I have been looking for a video that gives tips on how to fly the E160 in 6G. Most videos jump right into 3D flight. Some of us are not ready for that yet. Well Done!
I realize I am quite off topic but do anyone know of a good site to watch newly released tv shows online?
@Duncan Bennett Meh atm I've been using flixportal. you can find it by googling=) -landry
@Landry Dominic Thanks, signed up and it seems like a nice service =) I appreciate it!
@Duncan Bennett glad I could help :D
Banggood refunded and I purchased new PDB, ESC, and flight controller. Works great!
WOW... Eachine is stepping up their game. I have the Eachine Falcon 250 that I had for years (about 4) I believe this is about the time I ran into you on youtube..I'm pretty sure you were flying this quad at that time QC101... Awesome review and Heli!
🖐️🤠👍
i love drone
This copter most definitely needs pitch curve and throttle curve tamed out of the box for beginners!
I've been checking this one out lately. Gotta get one. Looks pretty good.
XK got lots of catching up to. Eachine all brushless, better bargain.
Eachine is just a re-brand name. They don't have any factories. Since that transmitter looks very much like the Tx from JJRC M02 multi-mode, I'd wager that this comes out of the factories of the JJRC/XK/WLToys conglomerate. 😁
I have not been watching for a while now. Sorry I take things in spells. LOL
I always enjoy your videos and learn from them.
Many thanks for the review. It’s clear that you were happy doing that. Despite that is exactly what I was looking for since I’m not a manual addicted kkk
Good vision from France thank you
Love your videos
Awesome review. 👍👍👍
Thanks for sharing. 🤜🤛
Flies the same as the 129 in that mode .Nice review
No, not really. It has no altitude hold, and is much more reactive to control input. This is not for beginners, even in 6G mode.
@@Quadcopter101 OK thought it said 6g has altitude hold ? Need to read again thanks
are you still in calli? lets drone crash and laugh together. You have done a great service with these videos thank you.
Nope, moved to Pennsylvania. Too many earthquakes and aftershocks where I was located.
@@Quadcopter101 man love it out there many roots there. Next time Im out that way Ill look for your drones and will fly crash and laugh together. Keep up the great work on here. Its the most information packed in one place. Lets rip some batt packs!
When do we get to the puppy.
Good job
I started with the E119, just to learn orientation.
I agree heli is difficult to fly. I couldnt fly mine i only can hover then kaboom hehehe luckily drone comes in hahaha
Awesome sharing Buddy
Plugged in second battery and 5v regulator popped. 3 beeps but no last two for flight controller. No lights or bind. Trying to get Banggood to make it right.
Hello nice video..I have the same helicopter but for now Im practicing with the rc simulator...you can help me talking about the what is the button position for a stable flight.....thank so.much
Hi Mike , I was hoping you would be able to shed some light on how to change the mode setting from mode 1 to mode 2 or mode 2 back to mode 1 on the eachine 160 heli on the transmitter.
I can not find any info on this, also when you order from Bang good they have no info as to what mode is on the transmitter , thanks for your help.
See the bottom of page 16 of the transmitter's (not drone's) user manual. It shows how to convert it. myosuploads3.banggood.com/products/20200627/20200627220542E160.pdf
funny thing if the norm was to fly upside down, then every one would be impressed by flying right side up.
Friend help me. In the original control of eachine e160 the exponential is + or -? to make the controls more in the center.
HI, thanks for this video. I had a problem with my e160; can you cofirm
me that is there just one a conic washer between roto head set and main
blade clip? Thank you in advance!
Sorry. Mine is packed away. But it would be best to ask your questions on the E160 here. www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?3606817-Eachine-E160-Dual-Brushless-3D6G-System-Flybarless-RC-Helicopter
Hey 101, how ya been? It's been a long time. See you moved from the desert, where are you now?
I bought a sim from Banggood a few years ago and couldn't get it to work so I contacted the company that made it and was told it was a bootleg copy so the registration number wouldn't work and they wouldn't help me. Just sayin.....
*Dance the Skies*
I just had problems with mines over 300 dollars in and under 5 mins of flight.
First flight started to lose height like if battery is dying landed kinda hard and changed battery and blades did not spin guess what the motor spur gear was missing looked for it for 3 hours in grass and found it installed it again and flew it and while taking off it just fell out and noticed no lights no servos the bec on the esc died so I ordered a new esc and new motor changed it literally first 30 secs and then the bec dies again I gave up on it so I got a board from a different heli for the 5v and it flew very nice for 2 minutes until it started to vibrate itself I landed and noticed the feathering shaft screw was coming off I cant fly my trex 470lm in my backyard or front yard I have to drive to the park also got a 450 and getting a trex700 this Monday on the mail this is absolutely the worst heli I ever owned
Hi! Flicking from 6g to 3d in flight is doable.
However while in flight, it does not seem to be possible to switch to 6g while in 3d. I need to land, then switch to 6g.
Am I missing something?
Nope. You can't switch back to 6G while in flight.
@@Quadcopter101 thanks for replying. It'd be nice if you could though, to get out of trouble 🥴
Ben
Gr8 Vid !!. Would it be possible for you to advise me on a budget drone between 60 to 70 $ some of my main use of it is taking good quality vids while I'm riding my motorcycle, e.g. follow me, thnx.
First
good morning good morning good morning
Not at all for beginners..who's ever saying it is ,is a cash grab..maybe if you had a trainer
I think that I made it clear in the video (and video description) that this is NOT for beginners.
@@Quadcopter101 I'd say you did..your just looking out for people,and don't want to see them sad when they get one:( I been there
@@Quadcopter101 it's got more punch than the m2
