- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- This heli turned up in December, but the weather has only really come good (on the odd day) in the last few weeks. So off we went to finally fly this thing and see how it performs.
This Heli was sent over from Banggood (and both of us were a little confused about how that happened), but anyway here's a few affiliate links should you want to take a look: www.banggood.c...

Great fun Heli had more fun with this than name brands that have constant problems
I have 2 align 450size heli's that I haven't flown for a long time and I've just bought the ec135 and the md500 body kit's for them, including a 4 blade rotor head for the ec135 and a 5 blade rotor head for the md500. And of course all the fg blades to go with them. I bought the c190 just to get my thumbs registered again, so as to save me some money as, it's far cheaper to replace parts for the c109 than the 450, and I'm really enjoying this little heli. No pressure 🤭👍
Love this Heli. I am ordering one right for Reggie. I have nearly thousand hours in a 500. I just love the real ones and this is nostalgic toy.
So far
Did you get to have missiles on you real one :D
@@CurryKitten No my this is not my Mil days but corporate business. It was definitely a little hot-rod. 140 kts and very nimble. I used to call it the buzzing bee.
'We've got rid of it' 🙂 I guess it's a good beginners heli that looks like a realish heli. Nice review. Shows what terrible weather we have had this year!
The weather continues to be bad. One day of sun = rain for the next few days! Yeah - it's ok to fly around. Just doesn't really work for me
Awesome flying and review, Wayne! 😃
I don't know, but it looks like a great first helicopter for someone! Perhaps even for me... 🤔
About the stop button, my impression is that you long pressed it for it to work.
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
I don't think it was a long press. I was just pressing it multiple time and one of those times it went beep and fell out of the sky. Maybe good to begin with, but a bit dull if you've flown much before IMO
cant wait for the small/micro scale helis to have transparent windows and cockpits with pilots
2 things, I think it has a direct drive main motor and the other is I think the off switch is so you can turn off and on the optical flow sensor, I think??
I really want to get one of these.
You've got a pretty big channel. I'm surprised Banggood aren't randonly sending you unsolicited helis as well
@@CurryKitten That would be pretty cool!
The emergency stop you have to hold for 3 seconds btw
The scale appearance is the appeal of the C189 it doesn't do 3D flight but it looks great!
I get you - I'm not one that really appreciates scale models, but this looked pretty good in the air!
Right on, thankfully they make both 3D high-performance hellies and scalars too, when it comes to RC hellies it's an Ideal World.
The RC ERA C189 a very nice looking heli I have one myself it won't do much in the way of 3D acrobatic flight but it'll do a little bit of fancy flying!
I have amewi md500 heli.Grey,red.Nice scale heli.
Nice 👍
Not a 3D Heli but still a blast can fly pretty fast
Im shocked optical flow worked good for you with this heli

What are the membership benefits?
@@CurryKitten sweet nothing
Thats fixed pitch??
I might have that wrong, the pitch of the bllades do in fact alter with input
@@CurryKitten Thanks!
@RobisonRacing68 its not true collective, but auto collective with +pitch only.
I dont think its a optical flow problem its the head rotor out of phase that creates the toilet bowl effect try binding it to the radiomaster tx16 i bet you wont have any issues.
The flight controller in this heli is shit unfortunately
I take it you mean on a multiprotocol module? Which protocol does it run on?
@@CurryKitten I’m not exactly sure I’ve done a lot of looking into different people on UA-cam and their personal experiences enough to know that it’s a flight controller issue most of the time
Hoping you bind it to the radiomaster tx16s and make another video i think you will be pleasantly surprised surprised
lol have a old hirobo shuttle haven't flown it in a few yrs dinosaur lol
250size
