I like the look of that one too. Looks good in the sky or on display!
very nice heli love the scale looks my friend have fun RCing
Great review as usual. This was a realistically detailed scale heli for an RTF model. I hear you on the flybars. Their a kind of poor man's gyro for the rotors. But as you said if you get out of the flybar's comfort-zone it's difficult to get it to settle down. You did a GREAT job keeping it in the air when it went wonky on you. Thanks for the review, I know you work hard on these.
Partok81 Thanks bud! Yeah, I fought hard there to get the heli back over the grass so I could safely ditch it. That was a clencher moment. lol
Wow that looks so damn cool! Great review.
That is a nice looking helicopter,it really has a scale look in the air and it does seem to respond better to scale flying,it doesn't dart about like lighter models,they can have an unrealistic dragonfly like motion to them.👍👌☺
+Graham Smith Yeah, definitely. :)
Hey Ryan, my friend!
Again a nice and well done Model review/flight - hats off!
Yesterday i received my V915 ( Yellow )
Today i`ve done the maiden test flight outside in sunny weather with wind conditions bft 2-3.
First impressions: Awesome stable and good reacting birdy !!! Love it...and very scale built and flight looking!
Chineese engineering well done - if this Lama has brushless, that will be TOP !
Always happy flights and much subscribes to you!
Frank
+Frank Mende Yeah, if this was brushless and had a flybarless system, it would be great. :)
Great Video! The 45 degree flybars systems really tame a helis' performance. They really don't like any wind, or fast maneuvers. I love your "Durability Test" comment! I'll have to remember that one.
Yeah, just gotta keep it calm and steady with the flybars. And, lol, thanks about the "durability test" comment. :)~
great review !!
Great review Ryan, the flybarless 4 channels do better in the wind, but that is a decent flyer. I like the WLToys V977, because it handles wind better yet.
Ryann , I bought this heli also, and the directions stink, anyways the shoulder button on the right is a turbo button , kind of a d/r switch that you have to hold, so what I did was run on out to radio shack and picked up a switch and installed it just below the button and left of were it says (6 channel), just solder 2wires to switch and direct to the button solder points, works great , when you throw the switch you get all the throw out of it with out holding the button, and the button will still works
I LOVE that transmitter, it's awesome when even cheap transmitters have the ability to switch modes. There must be quite a complex mechanism inside to make it work! :D
Jordan O'C Yeah, the transmitter is really nice with this one. :)
Flyin' Ryan RC Agreed. Why aren't they this nice on micro quadcopters, instead of being those ridiculous Xbox controllers? Haha.
Jordan O'C To keep price down. :/ I wish these brands were more consistent with their protocols, so they could then sell an optional nice transmitter that could be used with several of their models that may come with inferior transmitters.
Flyin' Ryan RC Ah yeah, price... Hmm, consistent protocols should be mandatory, or like you said, sell a good transmitter. I hate these crappy transmitters!
The right shoulder button gives you even more throw in high rates, but you have to keep the button held down. Some people mod the tx with a 2 position toggle switch in place of the button so they can have full servo throw all the time without having to hold the button down. Other than that good review.
This heli would be excellent as a 6 axis flybarless heli.
this copter looks pretty sick!
I think it's the V912 hardware inside of a new fuselage. Nice review btw.
cool nice Helicopter
love your vids just subscribed
cool copter Ryan
I have this helicopter and it's amazing
You do make everything look so easy to fly! Have a blade 120SR...it just does it's thing and I try to avoid the issues it presents me with. I usually fail!
Ben Portman Thanks! Yeah, it can be frustrating when it doesn't feel like you're actually flying a model, but more just keeping it from crashing. I've heard that the 120SR can be a real handful.
it is, it's why I fly quads ;-)
quads are sort of cheating ;-)
I've perfected getting out of the spin,mine likes to do it in sharp right turns and if I give it full left lower the throttle and the floor it when it's spin slows down it usually get itself out of the spin
Nice!
David Hamilton91
i have had a v911 in 38+ kph winds takes alot of pratice and in higher winds you need to run the higer rates full time , this heli is cool and it can handel some winds from what i have seen but i have not yet put one threw its paces
If you haven't already, you should definitely try flying your v911 with the v915's transmitter. It has much more precision.
Thanks for posting. Love my little V911.. damn near bullet proof. Just about ready to order the Lama. Looks great too. Have you tried any other battery packs besides the stock one? Id like to get a dual output (2 battery) charger for it too.
woppini No, I only used the stock battery.
yes.. nice heli !!
I ordered one of these today, they come with a 1, 2 or 3 battery option plus you can buy a separate battery as well. I have to believe that it must be possible to remove the battery without an act of congress, have you found that to be true in your subsequent use of this heli?
When setting the mode with the throttle at the left, is then the right lever spring loaded?
Cool one mate! :)
Looks nice! Scale looking
***** yup lol
***** I wouldn't call this toy-grade... and besides, it's pretty pointless to get wrapped up in the whole toy-grade/hobby-grade designation. Just enjoy RCs. :) Since these sort of RCs have replacement parts, I don't consider them toy-grade. Toy-grade is purely for toys sold in stores, like Walmart, that have absolutely no part support, and aren't designed to be repaired.
Flyin' Ryan RC I don't care if its toy grade! Its a joke FPV and me have! For me its about fun! But one cant pull someone's leg now and then =D
***** Okay. :) I was not aware it was an inside joke.
Flyin' Ryan RC Beside all are toys! Even my QAV250 lol for I am playing with all my RC's =D
Yes I agree with you as far as killing you or someone else. We had a young boy practically decapitate his head off. He was killed instantly because he didn't know what he was doing. I am not going to do stunts right away but more or less practice using a little one. but I already purchased it for myself so it's going to sit on my shelf for a while or like you say be a shelf queen for a lil bit until I get the controls figured out. I still have to buy a 11.1 lipo battery for it.
I originally wanted the goblin 380, devil 380 which is a good knock off of the goblin by align. Then I wanted to get a Align T-rex 450 which is a monster with a powerful dominator 1800 kv brushless motor. Ryan this guy is a beast,
just watch the videos. If I bought thay I would of been way over my head. but 2 things I would of taken it to a place where there are no people anywhere for a long way I am not trying to hurt anyone. If anyone gets hurt it would be me. Thats why I went with the walkera 450. It's cheap. If I crash parts are cheap and relatively inexpensive to fix.
it's been voted first in it's class ad for being good for beginners making the transition to flybarless collective pitch. Has auto gyro stabilization.6 axis gyro meaning it can auto correct itself. Now for 3d or stunts you hit mode to it deactivates the auto correct and goes straight to 3d at that point you better know what your doing or else you'll crash or hurt someone. so I'll stick to auto gyro. I forgot the term Ryan. but it's some kind of beginners flight assist which helps alot.
it's also getting alot of good reviews too as far as beginners
so I'm not going to lie I am pretty excited.
Hallo Ryan, which mode do you use and why?
Also, PLEASE review the Ethos QX 130 it is available for $99 and it is the best quadcopter I have ever flown.
Karen Black It's too old to be worth reviewing at this point.
Does the motors heat up during flight?
omg thats so cool
Nice detail for the scale.
The issue to me on the single rotor copters, [versus quads], is they fly better backwards than forward.
Steve S Not always though... a properly adjusted single-rotor helicopter should have equal pitch in all directions.
Flyin' Ryan RC I meant to qualify; I was referring to the entry level single rotors, say sub $100.
Nice
does it have any tail-wag?
hi ryan thanks for testing and at moment i consider to buy eirher lama or the 912 sky dancer so wonder if u have testet the sky dancer since no test show u had.and a note hehe I buy the x5sw-1 drone after seen your review; )
+Lasse Nielsen I have no experience with the V912, but I would bet that they are very similar... may even use the same internal parts. But, being that the V915 is a scale model, it is probably heavier than the V912. So the V912 probably flies a bit better.
+Flyin' Ryan RC yea sky dancer is around 400 gram with batt and it seem very fast too ;) and u can get it with cams too. lama I think seem slower hover type ;) and thanks for reply I will try make a review of the dancer when I get it ;)
+Flyin' Ryan RC I'm still learning but plan is to get a 450 got amazed how RC helicopter world champion fly them..so sick moves and fast lol
Whoa!! I was holding my breath for you!
theslushygoldfish After the crash(es)?
Haha yeah and when it headed toward that no parking sign
theslushygoldfish That was a real clencher moment! lol I was fighting so hard to get the heli back over the grass.
Doesn't seem to be quite as agile as the V912 but it does look great.
Nice helicopter
🚁🚁🚁🚁🚁
You can buy balance lead extension :D
Cool maan
Hi friend
I already have a WLtoys V977 heli. Do you know whether it's possible to bind the V915 and V931 BNF version helis with the V977's transmitter? I want to get one of each.
Thanks!
I have no idea. Sorry. :(
nice
Bom video :)
where exactly are you based/ because in quite a few reviews, i have seen that the plug on the charger is the same as we have over here in holland
Colin Shard I'm in the US, but since these RCs ship from China, they often come with that European plug type, and then they attach an adapter for your specific country onto the package.
I have always been wondering how does it go forward when nothing is pushing it forward
The angles of the blades changes, which makes the helicopter move forward/backward/left/right.
Hey Ryan sorry if this is offensive but how do you get the money to buy this many helis and quads so often? ps i love your videos and its super cool that you do them so frecuently
monkeymaster26 Well, it's a combination of things... now that my channel has gotten so popular, I get quite a few models sent to me to review, free of charge. I also make decent money from UA-cam ad revenue, and affiliate sales, so I can use that to buy models as well. :)
Okay thanks :)
NOICE !
Is that for sale man?
Ryan, do you still fly your 200 srx?
richard zglobicki Yep! That's my go-to heli when I just fly for fun (which isn't that often, since I'm always testing new stuff for review, lol). :)
Like how much rcs do u have in total?
Daniel launchpadger No idea at this point... a couple hundred, at least. heh
does the green led turn off when it is fully charged? charged mine for about 90mins but the light was still on
YeeSonGx5 I can't recall off the top of my head, but I believe so. Did I not mention it in the review? The manual may cover it too. ;)
oh ok thanks :)
Very nice, it is the v-913 with a new body! The top right bumper should be turbo. Put it in a table and give full pitch in high or low rates and then press the button and hold and it should increase the pitch quite a bit in low and high rates. It really wakes the heli up flying in turn on high rates! :) anyways it sure does looks awesome.
The RCAddict OH, you have to press and HOLD!? That might explain why I couldn't get it to work, since I was just tapping it.
Flyin' Ryan RC Yeah, using the turbo gives about 20-40% more pitch :D
It can not turn precisely?
60$$ deal!!!
Ryan wassup old buddy long time no see. Its me Paulie from the Bronx lol. I have to ask you a question? I am no longer getting coaxial helicopter I have graduated to a collective pitch flybarless helicopter called the walkera 450 DO3 it's really nice and priced cheap and does 3d stunts on high mode. Can you do stunts I wanted the goblin 380 but that was too expensive. Any advice you can give me I am a helicopter simulation and I doing pretty good
+Paul Santora I don't do 3D flying, and I would highly recommend practicing on something much smaller and safer before attempting to fly, or do 3D, with a 450 sized CP heli. That is a very serious helicopter, and it could actually *KILL* you if you are not careful. You want to be an expert 3D pilot before even attempting 3D with a 450.
Seems kinda docile, that'll be the penalty for going scale, i guess. Do you think the V913 Brushless would be i better choice for someone looking for a more agility?
Lee Cross Hmm, hard to say, since the V913 still has a flybar... I think the brushless motor would give it more punch/power, but the flybar will likely keep it from getting too aggressive and agile. :/
Flyin' Ryan RC Ok mate, thx for the reply.
Great review as always! ;-)
Does it have any tail wagging?
Not that I recall.
Which are more durable? Heli or Quads?
My old Syma S107 broke, again.....
Mihir Kandoi In general, quads are, because they have less moving parts.
Flyin' Ryan RC Thnx!
+Flyin' Ryan RC can you check out the FX070C out. It looks pretty cool and surprisingly big for its price.
menor que o v913 ?????
hey ryan when is the h8 review coming
DA AUTHENTIC HACKER Not really sure when it will be published, but I will be filming my review of it in my next filming session, which is likely to take place this weekend.
season= weekend sounds cool
hey Ryan do you have many money,just asking.
1 million views=500-2000$
That controller for the helicopter is 99% exact to the ethos QX 130 controller
Karen Black Yeah, because Ares rebrands WLtoys products. :)
It is better not fly helicopter bar? I see that you complain about it, is this true?
+Jose García Yeah, flybarless systems perform better, since there is no physical hardware with limitations. Physical flybars can sometimes overcompensate, and be slow to adjust to quick movements. Flybarless software gyro systems are much better and faster to react to quick movements. :)
Ok. Thankzs!
+Jose García Oh, and not to mention that there is less hardware to break, and have to replace, and complicate the build. :)
Jajajaja. Ok
It's strange, I can handle an FBL100 (Blade MCPx clone) better than my Blade 120sr because I feel like the flybar fights me so much. I went from a coaxial, then a fp to a fbl cp heli in 3 or 4 months.
Jeffrey Phillips Yeah, I agree... flybars can be a real pain in the butt if you try to fly aggressively at all.
동진침장알시월암 동?jsjsj
are you an experienced helicopter pilot
Yep, highly. Been flying for about 12 years now. :)
syma x8c???please
Riker Wilson I will be filming my review of it in my next filming session (this weekend, most likely).
ok
Its actually BELL-47 Helicopter
It's actually not. The Lama just has some similar looking design features. Completely different helicopter.
One thing that annoys me is it's star decals,just ruins the scale look
muito pequeno, para o custo $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
