Trim the copter inside. If you trim outside then it could be the wind blowing it around and not needing it be trimmed. It does look like a Christmas gift for someone
Awesome helicopter I have both e119 and the e129 great choppers but the exposed plastic gear can be damaged in a crash let me show you a cheap and easy way to prevent that, take a light weight plastic water bottle trim off the neck and make a piece fit from the canopy to the landing gear and use transparent tape to fasten and no more stripping gears works perfectly.
I got one of these. There's the Eachine E129, GoolRC and the Firefox C129. I got the Firefox brand. The first one arrived in about 3 days. It had a bad gyro I guess? It yawed violently to the left and wouldn't hover, so it couldn't be trimmed out.i contacted the seller and had another on the way the same day. Its FANTASTIC, and really flies for a long, long time. 15 minutes at least. Mine has 3 batteries. These fly exactly like a quad or drone. Altitude hold works too. NOTE: if you lightly sand away the two little bumps on the battery, it slides in and out a whole lot easier!!! PRETTY FAST TOO. BUT, in low rates its docile enough to fly inside too. On wondering if it will carry a little AIO FPV camera unit? I found it can share the battery. A little AKK or WolfWhoop unit only weighs 2.58 grams. A nickel weighs 5 grams. Pretty neat if it works. QC101, keep coming out with these videos. We like em.
Really like this heli. Once you get it trimmed out,, it can fly long enough ya can get a little bored in the house. So, go outside and ya can fly it pretty fast too. Overall, it's a great beginner's heli, or if its crappy weather, fly in the living room and dining room. Oh. If yur having trouble getting the batteries in and out, just sand those two little bumps on the battery.
Another use for it, and why I'm researching before buying, is a flight trainer for better drone flying. I flew R/C for years, but haven't in over a decade. I have an expensive camera drone, DJI mini 2, and I've been doing a lot of practice flying with it, getting the reflexes back. But I hate 'practicing' with such an expensive tool that I use for my business. Soooooooo.... I figured something like this, with the altitude hold, flies similar to camera quads and is a whole lot cheaper! I can use it to practice with, improve my flying skills so that when I'm filming with the drone, I'll produce smoother and more controlled camera shots. And it will just be fun to fly around without the worry of the expense. So far, this looks like the best option out there.
I just sold my mini 2, I had no need for Aerial footage, I don't know why I bought it actually, I found it mind numbingly boring to fly, maybe because I used to fly 450 and 500 helicopters and 100mph EDF jets 😂, I just purchased one of these e129 so I can fly without leaving the couch lol, I'm slowly getting back into RC flight after about 9 years, I've really missed it actually.
I got the E119 and it's great heli, just keeps on going on and on, really reliable just what I like from a model.So this looks like a nice adaptation of a classic heli.
awesome content! thank you for sharing it... I already subscribed I recommend you put something like e119 and e129 differences on the title of the video, because that's what a lot of people are looking for so I made my mind... I'm buying one e129 right now 😀
The Eachine E119 has been a great little toy and this seems to continue that. Not a fan of proprietary batteries (usually more expensive and hard to storage charge them) but the switchable mode Tx IS a good innovation for our bunch of mixed mode Old Fart Fliers - hard to teach an old dog new tricks! It would be nice if Eachine could talk Volantex into doing a similar thing with the transmitter for the Eachine re-brands of the V761 planes. Someone's finally got them to fix that dumb flyaway fault it seems. I'm assuming that the new Tx will operate the E119 also - just less the altitude hold feature as with say the Syma X8C/HC etc Txs?
Nope, seems they are different protocols. On multi OpenTx E119 is a subprotocol of number 46 V911S while E129 (also sold as the Twista Ninja 250 RTF) is number 83.
@@Quadcopter101 Yeah i use to haunt those creeks quite often some years ago....and been watching your videos for years, keep up the great work, i have been building my rc planes from scratch for the last 7 or 8 years....great hobby isnt it.
Great info. Iv had one for a year, always flew great until it had a prob with maintaining alt. All moving parts were tight etc. Replaced whole elec board for only £8. But didnt help. I think now its a motor issue. Gets quite hot so thinking its thermal failure and wear but havent done much flight time. Some elec contact spray helped a bit. Any ideas welcome?
With no power to the helicopter, slowly turn the rotor blades by hand. They should turn smoothly with no bumps or resistance in turning. If you notice any "bumps" while turning, then you likely have some debris in the gear teeth. This will overheat your motor, and can damage it. Even a small particle of sand in the gear teeth can burn out a motor. Dislodge any particles from the teeth by using an old toothbrush, or gently sliding a pin between the gear teeth. Here's some more info ua-cam.com/video/LzzD3BPVvH0/v-deo.html

I know. Mr. QC101 is responsible for me purchasing about 15 quads, FPV and sport models and probably 4 airplanes. Nate and Anby have cost me over $1000 on RC Crawlers and Truggys, Buggys and off roaders. We currently own 89 RC vehicles I think? Maybe more . I used to have an office. Now it's a toy room. It looks like an overstocked Hobby store. I can barely open the door and then have to straddle vehicles and dodge hanging aircraft. LOL. No complaints though. Too many Co-Axials though.
I have a question? Its my understanding from another review that the upper right button has a function that increases transmitting rang for outdoor use. Can you please confirm this or is bad information?
Can you please stop using a Go pro without stabilization as it's quite nauseating to watch. It would be better if you had somebody film for you. Appreciate the videos and your work though. Thanks.
Normally, what side of throttle that i should selected? I see your instructions under video clip, your advice is right throttle but normally is left or right?
@@Quadcopter101 I think you should revise your advice under clip. You wrote mode2 (right throttle control) then i bought right throttle control. So sad.
Why do people keep calling these drones? They're not drones. Drones have features like a satellite uplink, return to home, advanced position hold and compasses. Not to mention many nicer drones actually have lidar ground proximity detection systems. This has none of those, it's just a basic helicopter. It's not a drone.
Nice to see you doing a helicopter video, I just got an xk k110 as my first brushless 3D heli and it’s awesome, I like the E129 looks very stable but the attitude hold is a turn off for me.
@@logansportpilotrp8174 are we able to control the altitude by our selves? Can it fly as low as 10 inches from the ground if I want? Or it will keep trying to climb to a certain altitude?

The battery might not be fully charged. Do you have another battery that you can try with it?

@@did3d523 And you've trued it with fresh batteries in the controller?
@@Quadcopter101 yes unfortunatly nothing work thanks aniway
HI QUADCOPTER . one thing about these batteries .is how can you check them for storage at the recommended 3.8 ?
The link you have provided is for the older 119. Is there no link for the 129?
Sorry, mymistake. Here's the link for the E129 bit.ly/Eachine-E129 By the way, it's on flash sale right now.
What is the regulation required for playing with this? Do I need a drone license and register this?
No, as it weighs well under 250grams, it does not need registered.
Can someone cut to the chase? What’s the flight time
15 minutes per charge.
Is it worth it for 60$$
I fly quads and never owned a heli. This might be my first. Question, can you mount a light AIO cam to the "hood" and fly FPV with it?
I think an AIO camera may be too heavy for this little helicopter.
Great!!
Is it really this quiet ?
Yes it is.
