#rc #helicopter #heli
Word of warning, Brian: when flying a heli and switching into '3D' ... always, Always, *ALWAYS* use LOW RATES, not high, as you did in this vid. I'm an 'O-K' heli pilot, and I just did the maiden on the E160 the other day. When I switched into 3D mode, I had the rates on HIGH (cuz I wanted high rates in 6G, but I TOTALLY FORGOT to switch to low rates BEFORE trying 3D), and I crashed in about TWO SECONDS! In high rates the bird has SOOOO MUCH travel on the cyclic, and WITHOUT stabilization the swash doesn't automatically return to centre (sorry, guys, Canadian spelling for centre, not a typo!) ... so you are DEAD if you're not used to it! Expo is also *VERY* important for flying in 3D cuz the cyclic is CRAZY SENSITIVE! Don't know what settings (rates & expo) are programmed into the E160's radio (I bought the BNF version), but you want the rates *LOW* and the expo *HIGH*! Trust me on that one! I flew my XK K110 the other day with my new RadioMaster TX16S, and I turned on 3D for the FIRST TIME EVER. I had 50% cyclic dual-rates and +30 on the expo and it was *STILL* super-sensitive! I didn't crash it, luckily, but it took some GETTING USED TO, let me tell you! I'd say I have much more experience with helis than you (don't fly planes), but from what I can tell, you and I have very similar heli piloting skills, which is AMAZING since you're not a heli pilot, as you say. Great review! Thk u!
I agree ;) This heli is a hand-full to say the least!!! High OR LOW rates ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC Yup! Hehe! I just watched your E180 review and I can tell that one is even MORE of a beast! Wow! I've been thinking about buying one, but I want a 250-size heli with a PROPER tail that is driven by the main motor and PITCHES. I'm not a fan of the helis with tail motors, at all.
This guy deserves more likes and subs I love he's content its entertaining
Thanks Real Speedy!!! We're glad you're here with us!
I don’t know how in the blank, the camera crew can follow that little thing in the sky. She does a great job!!
I know, I can't!!!
The company is Yuxiang (YX) and the machine is the F01. Branded for MotionRC it's the RotorScale F1 180 and for Eachine its the E160. HeliDirect sells it under the YX name. One of my favorite machines to fly. I would suggest getting the carbon fiber fin set/aluminum servo holder....SO much nicer than stock. YX also makes the Blackhawk for Eachine which is another winner. I find all the Eachine canopies to be the most aesthetically appealing.
Cool, Thanks!!! We just filmed our E200 video, coming in the next day or two ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC excellent Brian! We would love it if you could do one your famous low light/dusk videos of that sweet machine hovering with all those LED lights!
I got mine coming real soon. I got a K130 (plus a spare) and the first k130 had been thrashed and I have become good a repairs. Also good at hitting TH. Its my trainer.
When the Eachine 160 gets here, it will get checked out first and make sure the swash is level. Then flight. Thanks for the review.
Right on!
I had a CP1 too and I never learned to fly it! It was so difficult so I gave up. Then I went to a 450si and that became my first collective pitch helicopter.
Totally get it. That thing was so much better than past heli's, but it was very discouraging for a novice.
Hi Brian, I'm just getting into RC and you are a real inspiration and so knowledgable. I've already subscribed to your channel. All the best to you and your camera crew 👍🏻 Keep up the fabulous work 😆
Awesome, thank you! We appreciate you being a part of this channel Sean!!!
You can pretty much fly anything 👍🏻. Helicopters scare the hell out me, almost as much as a flow engine. Great video.
Thanks! I fly planes a lot better ;) I actually had a helicopter long before I had planes...well, I had a few RTF garbage type when I was a kid, and they never really did anything but instantaneously crash. Now-a-days, you can Actually learn to fly with some of these toy grade planes and helis!!!
Love the videos. I've been flying RC Helis for a LONG time (ran the HeliGeek's Blog before UA-cam took off) and while I CAN do a few 3D maneuvers, I don't really enjoy 3D heli flying. Guess I'm old school, but watching all those heli videos in which you never see the dang thing fly nose-first or right-side up get pretty old to me. It's nice to see someone enjoying "normal" flight with an RC Heli. :)
Awesome! I thought I was the only one. It is cool to me, 3D heli flying, but I almost see it as learning stick moves, and not "flying" the heli - not sure if you get what I'm saying...but I like seeing flight as if it were real. I like scale looking flight, but that's just me, and evidently you ;)
I've been flying the heli for the last 2 days ,must admit its very stable even in wind.
Wouldn't recommend it to a beginner though but still a very nice heli.
True, she's a LOT for a beginner
Brian: I'm keeping up with you. Thanks for getting back with me. I wanted you to know that because of your Mini Apprentice S video. I made a call or 2 and then visited the local hobby shop and walked out a proud owner of that plane "Ready to Fly". Wanting to refresh my memory I wanted to see your video again and then I discovered where you added flaps to an older version of the plane. Thanks for that! I think I have another project now. I believe I will run the control wire through longish carbon fiber tubing and yes I'll simply use tape hinges. Thanks for your very detailed instructions.
Awesome! You won't regret it. The Flaps make this plane and the Carbon Cub S 2 so much more capable, and fun!
@@BrianPhillipsRC I have both planes. They really are awesome. Brian after getting out of college in 1973 I started flying a 60" balsa Ugly stick but then I allowed girls to distract me. Hehe that was a mistake. BTW I'm 71 Years old. OK so now I need something from you. A neck strap that has BrianPhillipsRC printed on it. I would also buy an decal for my car back window. Just like the round pic above with headphones. Its awesome too. Please search youtube for flooding in china. I think there will be even more delays in products leaving china, its really bad and its the entire eastern half of china.
Camera Crew did a fine job following that mosquito all over the sky. I'm not into helicopters ........yet, but always learning from your videos.
Awesome! I have interest in Heli's, and a strong appreciation for a good heli pilot (Something I hope to eventually become) but this thing is a monster!!!
I like Eachine products! Nice review, first video seeing you with a heli, nice! 3D Heli flying is another complete world of RC for sure! 🖖🇺🇸🐾🐾🐾
For sure! I "can" fly upside down, but just barely - LOL - Hardly 3D in the Heli world.
@@BrianPhillipsRC My last 3 D attempt cost me 😱$$$ on my heli! I just fly it normal, nothing crazy! Probably boring for most experience heli pilots, but i do enjoy buzzing low altitude flights! I have been getting more involved with the micro planes, jets! Got my eye on a few big boy planes, one day i will pull the trigger and get one! Thanks for doing what you do, and i about died lmao on your BangGood garbage bag comment! Keep up the great job along with the camera crew! Semper Fi! And oh no crop spraying, down and clear gas mask! LMAO. 🇺🇸🐾🐾🐾🖖
I think the noise when you shake the remote control that’s the screw the one you lose it up fall off inside the control
Possibly ;)
Great job guys, thank you.
Our pleasure!
love your spirit Brian , keep it up. Greetings from Belgium 🚁
Thanks!
Nice job Brian . I just got mine today It came with 4 batts haven't flown it yet was alittle nervice
but can't wait to get it outside . I want to think you for the info on the T curve that helped alot . and thank you againg for this vid bud you and the misses take care
You're welcome! Thanks and Have fun!
@@BrianPhillipsRC i have subbed ur channel take care
Seems to fly well. I got the E119 after many positive reviews, but it felt so floaty and out of control, even with an after market receiver and FrSky transmitter. Btw, don't tighten the main blades to far. These need to be a bit "floppy" so the blades drop down when you hold the heli on it's side. Tightening these too far can also cause vibrations.
I see, thanks for the heads up!
@Brian Phillips, disposal of a Li-poly battery you simply drain off all the charge by putting in saltwater, using a smoke stoppers, light bulb or just pound a piece of metal in it. Once it's fully drained it's completely harmless and can be thrown in the trash safety, a little more information, take the gloves off once in awhile as you tan 🤩BB PS, LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!
LOL - I know! I definitely have a hand tan! I was a clean freak before Covid, but now, I have to wear gloves a lot at work, even when I might have otherwise chosen not to.
Nice new heli. Now your talking my game.
I need a BIG scale Apache. That would make my day!
Love the big windows in your house
We do too! I wish I would have done bigger ones in the stairway, but they get pricey since they have to be tempered glass.
Great review. Have a blade 230s V2 and omp M2, both of which are great. Best place to learn Heli is on simulator though. Crashes are expensive and time-consuming. Have fun with the e160. Thanks.
true, especially on helis!!!
Thanks for this video! I have one of these on its way from BG.
Very cool!
Love this copter, add a satellite receiver and you can fly with your Spektrum transmitter!
True!
Get a multi module opentx radio and fly all the rc protocols with one radio.
Why so many Spektrum chargers?? All you need is one, maybe two for you, Hobbymate D6 Pro Duos and a couple parallel boards and you’re set. Less expensive and FAR higher quality! All those chargers and power supplies are so superfluous and your wife would love some of her counter space back!😁 Those Spektrum chargers are known for crapping out very quickly. Mine stopped working after a few months.
I can charge a bunch of batteries at once. I have more, if you really want me to get them out ;)
Brian Phillips, I’m sure you do! 😆
Order a Hobbymate D6 Duo Pro and try her out. I’d love to see you review it!
Amazing man E160
Thanks a lot!
Nice neat heli
Sure is!!!
Just a little info how to get rid of LiPO batteries are putting them in a bucket of salt water yes then you can dispose of them anyway you wantcuz if you poke a hole or something in them in the they let us something off in the atmosphere it's not good
So that they can discharge?
@@BrianPhillipsRC Most likely.
Salt water method is a bad old legend that doesn't work forum.flitetest.com/index.php?threads/salt-water-lipo-disposal-bad-idea-or-really-bad-idea.12467/ one ends up with a pack that 'seems' to be 0 simply because the contacts are corroded, but stuck in a state that could cause a fire in a landfill or during disposal with no safe way to actually discharge it or measure it with destroyed contacts. Please don't use that method.
Really can't get over the beautiful machined parts and design layout for the entire craft. We take this all for granted, but not too long ago (okay, a couple of decades) this would have been near impossible to build - not to mention the price point they can manufacture these things at.
I completely agree! It's really nicely done.
Hi Brian the rattle that was in your radio for Eachine 160 heli could quiet possibly be a screw that has come lose on the adjustments for the sticks, I had to try and adjust the tension as my where to soft.
I had to pull the radio apart as I lost one of the adjustment screws inside would could possibly be what's happened to your radio.
Hope this helps let me know.
Thanks! I have so many that have had "Rattles" ;) It's almost comical all the stupid issues we've had over the years, but honestly, I think that's a big part of the reason anyone watches our stuff - LOL ;)
always 4 things 3-D Left IS RIGHT Right IS LEFT Down is UP Up is straight out expensive hahahahahhaha
LOL - very nice!
Love helicopter reviews thanks!
I'm so glad you did. I feel quite inferior on Heli's but know that many really do enjoy watching me crash them, and I hate to disappoint.
Brian Phillips can you please post a link to this helicopter with the 3 batteries. Thank you.
The whole setup
Eachine E160 bit.ly/2DXmEGU
Very nice, kinda pricey .idk. Realizing mines are not all brushless, im amoured to all of XK micros for now. This looks way beefier than the k130 with a better to see canopy & multiple packs is always a plus. TY for peek. 👍
Thanks!
great review
Thank you Trent!
Tail boom can snap like a twig even on a less than perfect grass landing.
Really???
@@BrianPhillipsRC Mine did man. Was really disappointed. I wish I could review the mishap in slow motion.I have another one and they fly great but I’m hesitant to fly it less I break it again. The second one had the motor pinion drop, again on what seemed like an innocuous landing...changed the motor from the one with the broken boom. Canopy posts are very weak, landing gear pin broke off in the frame. The gear strips ultra easily. I don’t know man really unlucky with it so far. Still learning but by no means we’re these the result of significant crashes. I love micros but man they often have cheap parts and break easily. OMP M2 best micro I’ve got. Blade 230 is acceptable as well.
...also Brian, have you found a way to keep the transmitter screen light on longer. Short time is VERY frustrating. Thanks!
I haven't tried, sorry!
I'm #1 Again! LOL Is Megan The Camera Crew Lady Also The Video Editor & Sound Person Now? She Is The Key Grip, Head Cook & Sponge, School Teacher, House Cleaner, Amoung Others! LOL Soo Your Just The Toys Pilot, Tech Tool Guy, Fancy Happy Sun Glasses Specialist, Landscraper Tractor Operator & Trash Man Around There??? Hmmm?
Both as IMPORTANT as each other...
Basically...LOL
Well, I do all the video "editing" work, she just captures film.
Did you find the little steel pin floating in the TX? I found one in mine, but I think it was one dropped during assembly. All seemed in place. Also my right gimble/joystick was broken in the transmitter even though my shipping package was in great shape.
WOW! Lucky for you!!! I just crash them without any good excuse like that - LOL!!!
I would not trust the micro drivers included in the ready to fly kit not to strip out my screws. I use a proper ifixit micro driver.
I see. The screw drivers they send are some of the hardest ever to hold!!!!
I wonder if the transmitter from the K130 would detect and properly properly work with the E160. They look identical, only they have different stickers :o
I think they will. Give it a try ;)
I really think you flew that heli better than u realized sir
Not compared to this guy - ua-cam.com/video/PRsRr2-QUrc/v-deo.html#action=share - this guy is GOOD!
Either way, from my video, you can tell the heli DOES fly ;)
Mine came with an XK radio
Nice - LOL!
The yellow glasses should cut UV light and increase contrast.
My first flight attempts I got up 8-10' and engaged throttle hold... and lost throttle. I tried another battery in case the first one had lost charge sitting a few days, and got the same thing. The collective still works but with no throttle, all it does is slow the descent. Any ideas what's going on? Did the factory set this transmitter up wrong? I'm in northern MN but this was a warm winter day in the 30s, not sub-zero. One of the hard landings in the packed snow broke a tip off the landing gear but I can live with that for now.
I want to tell you I know what's going on, but sounds a little above my pay grade. I wonder if you have an ESC failure? Might be worth trying to recalibrate the ESC???
And now I need to order new landing gear. Flying without t-hold until I figure out its problem, I pulled the left stick down too far for a landing and the negative pitch forcefully threw the 4' high heli into the ground (if I'd done that in the unpacked snow it would have been fine. I'll have to also figure out how to change my pitch curve to reduce that negative pitch, the book isn't completely clear on that.
@@BrianPhillipsRC ESC seemed to work ok as long as I left t-hold off (see my other reply).
Just purchased the Blade 330 S with your coupon code. 👍🏻
Awesome thank you! Sweet! Thanks :)
I love the lapel mike sorry but keep up the great work!
Thanks! Will do! Thanks Slugo!
Hey guys - another AWESOME video! ✅ So much that I just received mine and whoa, it’s got some juice!!
Like yourself, I want a bit of expo so I scroll along channels 1, 2 and 4 with the Mode button. As they blink, I change them up/down.
BUT in the rates (D/R setting) only channel 1 blinks and the mode button won’t scroll across to channels 2 and 4 😳 any ideas PLEASE?
(It’s the transmitter you marked ‘’E160 heli” aka Eachine E6 🤩) Thank you ! 🚁🌈
I can tell you I'm basically fumbling through these RTF heli's myself...so if you watch the video and see what I do to make the change...might help. We did similar on the E180, but honestly...the E150 was the first Eachine "real" heli that I actually felt comfortable flying...the E160 and E180 still scare the heck out of me!!!
@@BrianPhillipsRC Yep - me too! My E160 can be vicious but by messing with the settings, I’ve got it running quite sweet & it seems to be great quality.
I Just need to change the rates as the throttle is still a bit twitchy.
Couldn’t see you making any adjustments so I’ve uploaded a short video to clarify. I don't have a ‘camera crew’ and that damn backlight keeps going out lol 😝
ua-cam.com/video/lNmofa6nCJ8/v-deo.html
I hope you don’t mind, I also posted a couple of clips from your Eachine E150 as it uses the same transmitter and you’ll know where I’m coming from 👍🏻
ua-cam.com/video/YKVrJ7BM6qg/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/qC6vT5h_ty8/v-deo.html
Please let me know if that’s a problem, I’ll remove them straight away!
The RX from the XK série work perfectly, and it feels better to me
I see! I do like the menu structure a bit better in the XK lineup myself, but can't say I have a huge complaint with the Eachine fit...
I would say that the size make my fingers find the sticks in a more confortable way. For the menu maybe the way we can switch from a model to an other with the e160 TX is better though.
I am a little frustrated to get the e160 unusable waiting the spare parts but the XK K110 offer enough to learn in a lot less crash sensitive way :)
Picked up the e160 and a tx16s a little while back. Fun little heli, have a question on which receiver I can pick up to get telemetry. I purchased a Uruav 2in1 receiver and maybe it could work? Not sure any info would be greatly appreciated. Having issues finding information on it.
I can't say. This is something I haven't played with, personally, so don't want to get you in a pinch.
If you want to get a Spektrum RX (All in one) you could do so, but not sure it'll fit.
@@BrianPhillipsRC fair enough, I'll keep searching. Pretty sure the one I have will work just need to get the right plug for the fc and solder it
Well first small chock and servo arm, main gear et upper link rod broken ... try to order servo arm for this model ... you will find nothing !
Forced to order a full servo for now ... didn’t take the time to find a compatible, my own other Heli part were not fitting.
Hopefully my two XK K110 still work to train myself waiting for other parts
Bummer! I usually keep every dead plane/heli, and can source parts from the graveyard, but I have a larger than average RC junkyard - LOL...sorry you're having this trouble!!!
Brian Phillips I started again Heli this year and I have some spare parts but nones that fit for the servo arm , I stopped rc 30 years ago ;)
look at the WLtoys V950 6CH Brushless Flybarless RC Helicopter
I almost feel bad reviewing helicopters, since I'm such a novice on Heli's...
Yo Brian Trojan is out cant wait for a demo maiden unboxing!! Anyway have to make do with this fine expose of a moto with a prop on top lol (I have a Fear of Egg Beaters) lol
Coming soon! It is ordered, but shipping via man on a donkey from Hong Kong - LOL ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC It has a nose wheel!! keep that nose up when comming down lol
Hey Brian. If the flashing light stopped working on the chopper it’s burned out isn’t it? I flew it once without crashing and now nothing from the helicopter.
I suspect your battery is not getting charged. Have you double, triple checked the battery and charger? This seems to be a popular way for heli's to goof up.
Hello Brian and Mrs Megan aka camera crew. Have never tried to fly a helicopter. What do you think for a first one? One with something like safe. I dont want to break the bank but want one that's durable and replaceable parts etc.. cause im sure i would break it. Lol. As always well done. Thank you for your video keep flying you guys. Just having fun RC'n with friends and family members
This one is too much for a first heli, in my humble opinion...
Here's the few I usually recommend...
Eachine E160 / bit.ly/2DXmEGU
XK K130 Heli amzn.to/3b2JcBo / bit.ly/3e9UHsZ
XK AS350 / K123 Heli amzn.to/2EerkpG / bit.ly/34uqmB1 (This one is the best bang for the buck, and it's a beautiful scale heli!!!)
XK EC145 / K124 Heli amzn.to/2GOOswr / bit.ly/34BaZXP
XK K110 / Blast Heli amzn.to/2tpDplF / bit.ly/2Vgb4Me
(If it weren't obvious, the first link is Amazon, second is Banggood - chose which you like better)
Oh yeah I love that vtol but I hit a pole with it soo
Well, it's probably not flying so great now ;)
Yeah lol
Considering it’s a helicopter, great job🤔😉👍🏻
Thanks William - it is a heli ;) LOL
Awesome review with lot of details. Could you please do a review on Blade nano S2 from HorizonHobby
I would like to review a Horizon Heli, but to be totally honest...I don't think I'm a great heli pilot, and don't like to push them too much here.
Great review, thank you. Question for you, I got a little brave and crashed snapping the tail boom. Do you have any insight or can you point me in the right direction on how to swap it out? Have a new one on order
Try CA to glue it back together. One toothpick on either side, and buy a few more crashes ;)
If you can't get it to be strong enough, or balance out, order a-new :(
what does brushless means?? and I have the echaine e129. But I want to try something more advanced now. Do you think I should buy this?
Brushless means it's a Brushless motor, as opposed to a brushed motor. Brushless motors are way more efficient and way better in so many ways, but also cost a lot more.
If you want a "more advanced" heli, I'd have to know what your basis for comparison was, to answer you correctly ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC ok thanks
Hi! Mine shipped w/o a transmitter. Do I have to get a compatible eachine transmitter or could I use a spektrum? Thanks in advance!
This one supports use of a serial satellite rx, but I haven't done it on THIS unit. If you want to use another Eachine Tx, it's gotta be the right level, or it ALSO won't work.
How did you manage to order without Tx???
@@BrianPhillipsRC Not yet but am still doing some research. Thank you for you help.
Friend help me. In the original control of eachine e160 the exponential is + or -? to make the controls more in the center.
Usually, + speaks to Dampening the effect at the CENTER of the stick, while - means you'd be EXAGGERATING the effect at the center of the stick.
Emperor YA man you say entertaining I say educational I have flown Eachine for a lil bit now decent E129/E119 and they have a little selfie drone that is cool YES they have more. But Mr. Phillips would ya kindly tell me if the shaft drive gear is press fit or one that uses screws to hold. Hey Thanks for that in advance, the press on gears so not worth the prices placed. $30-40 for a press fit hey ok I am down $179 plus tax/ship they can keep it on the shelf nothing like chasing down a gear after a hard landing let alone a crash where all went wild. if pressed on if 3-4 gears added to box that would be cool. On the VTOL my failure was NOT following Mr.Phillips suggestion...XK450 or the JJRC he told me the JJRC was the better of the two I should have listened.
I'm sorry to tell you I'm not sure if it's pressed, but I thought it had a set screw...
JJRC is just SLIGHTLY better than the XK450 - only because of the LED's in my book...not a big issue ;)
I really like the Eachine E160 videos I have watched and was thinking of adding it to my OMPHobby M1 and M2 arsenal. I am very new to all this. I was looking for an indoor heli for winter time in Western NY, but this seems a bit large for that. Do you have any suggestions and would it be worth it to purchase an E160?
The E160 is a bit crazy for me, at my skill level, but the E180 is amazing, but again - probably a bit too advanced for me, even still.
@@BrianPhillipsRC design wise they are extremely similar to the M1 and M2. I am trying to learn without the Gyro assistance since it is supposed to help a beginner improve faster. Perhaps a XK K130 would be a wiser choice for a backward trainer. Thanks.
Brian, can you PLEASE explain to me each toggle switch(function and their effect on the heli) and the proper position of each for very basic scale flight. Nothing fancy for 3D, just basic scale flight. Please be as specific in your explanation as possible and leave nothing to my imagination. Thanks so much, Jeff
sorry, what I say in the video is what I know.
I feel your pain (sunglasses), just bought 2 pairs (before getting these the other day from your link, like I told you) and one of them is not only crooked but also has some sharp edges that really bother. That's why I got these. Two for the same price of one I bought before, including shipping.
Wait, what? Can you show a video of how you dispose the batteries? Now I want to see that.
I can't show how I dispose of batteries ;) Might not be within community guidelines - LOL!!!
@@BrianPhillipsRC WHAT? Hahaha Have you watched UA-cam videos?
Bonjour et merci pour tout ce que tu fait , grâce à tes vidéos j'ai pris la passion aussi , je viens de prendre le E160 V2 , est ce que tu pourrais faire un tutoriel rapide pour passer la radio commande en mode 1 ou mode 2 ? J'ai reçu la radio commande avec la manette des gaz à gauche , et je voudrais passer la manette des gaz à droite , pourrais tu faire un mini tutoriel pour cela ? Et serait il possible par la même occasion de faire un tutoriel pour savoir comment régler et utiliser la radio commande E6 pour des débutants s'il te plaît ? Merci d'avance et un pouce bleu grandement mérité pour toi, merci pour tout . Cordialement.
Thank you for your kind words, but seems there's already a good little video for this here - ua-cam.com/video/UFjrXu1D-4A/v-deo.html
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Merci pour vos gentils mots, mais il semble qu'il y ait déjà une bonne petite vidéo pour ça ici - ua-cam.com/video/UFjrXu1D-4A/v-deo.html
Thx a lot sir :)
I’ve been told you can’t switch from full 3d back to 6g mid flight. Which you might do as a fail safe of course. Is that true?
What if you start in 6g and switch to 3d mid flight?
Mine arrives in a month or so.
I thought that was true, but admittedly I can't remember, and don't want to miss-speak...BUT YES, this would be a GREAT helper for learning to fly / learning to do 3D flying
@@BrianPhillipsRC I greatly appreciate your reply. I’ve been practicing in the simulator so hopefully I won’t rely on it too much.
Good night Brian,
in your opinion is this better than the K130? I liked to see you flying him ...
I think it's better, but is it that much better for ME??? Probably not. The size is a factor, but I'm not a Heli aficionado .
How’s it going brother just want to let you know I just purchased the A-6 intruder From motion RC I’m excited.. but not for the transmitter set up in millimetersWell yes I will go buy a small ruler with MM 🤞🏾
LOL - Yeah better get a metric one ;)
Brian Phillips hahah ya that sucks .. Well my better half she is a math teacher 👩🏼🏫 ;-)
Brian Phillips what’s up brother.. I know you take your time getting around to the new jet’s that E Flite comes out with .. But I think you’re gonna have a blast with this one it comes out right after I buy the a-6 LOL The Newman that they coming out with on Horizon it’s a ready to fly and a PNP.. Habu STS 70mm EDF Smart Jet RTF with SAFE The plane even lands itself it’s a jet trainer for people who want to go straight to jet’s it has a learning assist, laser that you put on underneath flush with the plane it’s a three and 4S jet training plane it’s best The ready to fly comes with a lot of goodies you might have a two hour video on back in this one LOL keep lying and have a great day can’t wait to see the video once you get it or I can just send it to you LOL I mean myself..
Brian, what set screw size is on the locking shaft collar for the main shaft on the E160? Nothing in the kit fits it and was wanting to make sure it was tight before flying. Thanks
I'm sorry, but I have no clue.
Gday mate how are you? I have a question I'm wishing you can set me straight. I got myself one of these helicopters (eachine 160). now I noticed there are direction arrows on top of the brushless main motor, and if I'm not mistaken the motor spins in an anti clockwise direction which spins the main rotor in a clockwise rotation. However according to the arrows on top of the hulk motor its spinning backwards. Am I missing something here.? And thank you very much for inspiring me. I also got myself a x520 VTOL. I haven't had a chance to fly it yet the weather has been ordinary and I've never flown a fixed wing yet. Could you do a review on the xk x520 VTOL I think you will enjoy frm what I've seen of your reviews. I'm trying to decide what plane I'm gonna buy next. Thanks for getting me into the hobby.. Take care ps.. The 520 is VTOL however it is also wheel up wheels down. Capable
Doing well! Thanks! As for the direction of rotation, I never gave it a second thought, but just checked mine. The MOTOR arrows are pointing opposite the direction it spins, when the blades are swinging the correct direction (pretty obvious what direction that should be based on the shape of the blades OR Clockwise viewed from the top). If your motor is going the WRONG way, this would be not only highly unusual, but easy to fix. You can just swap the motor connections, as it's a BRUSHLESS MOTOR, and switching any TWO of the wires, will make it reverse.
Good luck Stewart! Glad you're here with us! Hope this helps you out ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC thanks for replying so quickly, and yes my helicopter flies, no worries, its defiantly rotating the main rotor in the correct direction, however those arrows indicate the motor should be rotating in the opposite direction.... Obviously it's not going to be an issue
HAHA, Brian you need to take off the gloves while in the sun once in a while 🤩
yep
Sir why everytime i thr0tle the m0t0r spinning and after a minutes the m0t0r st0p and the tail m0t0r is 0nly spinning
And the esc is beeping after m0t0r st0p spinning
That's because the battery is dead???
Wow! In all item descriptions i found they write: [Rotor diameter: 305 mm]
Is it defenetly 350mm? Or wich one is wrong?
350mm, end to end ;)
Mine only came with one battery
You can order them with different quantity of lipos. We've also had a few where they hid the lipos in the controller, if you're using a Jumper or Radio Master, did you check in there?
@@BrianPhillipsRC nope not there ..that’s ok though cuz I found a 5 pack of these lipos on Amazon. It flies great though
Just wondering if you could look at the rotor head to main shaft bolt and give me the size as I lost mine in a crash and one didn’t come in the factory replacement screw set.
I'm not sure what part you're looking for. I can't see any BOLT...I see some screws, and SETs but no bolts...
Brian Phillips ok the Jesus screw. The screw in the middle of the head between the two idler arm screws
Do you think I should get e160 after an XK K130? so is it worth giving money?
It's a lot more heli for the money.
Hello, do you know if that radio can be changed from mode 2 to 1 or from mode 1 to 2?
Thank you
I heard grumblings that it can be done, but I haven't done it myself, sorry!
Did I miss something on video here? But does it have altitude hold like the previous version has? You seem to handle it well. Thanks for video.
To be honest, I'm not sure
Acho vc muito engraçado kkkkkkk
Thanks ;)
Hi Brian, I’m trying to set up my 3D6G on my TX16S and can’t find any details how to do it so I thought you might be able to assist me? Thank in advance James
I forgot to mention I have the xka 800 glider
Sorry James. I have a few videos about setting up the JUMPER T8SG, but that's it. If that'll help...

not sure I can help all that much...
Brian Phillips hi Brian, thanks for getting back to me, RC Video Reviews helped me with it and it’s working great. Thanks again James
Looks like you fly good to me I’m trying to learn how to fly my E119
Great! Thanks Charles!
Be careful, E119 is cool and nearly indestructible (except tail motor mount base lol) but teaches you bad habits. There is no killswitch, so if you lose control you reduce throttle with the stick. When I was confident enough, I switched to K110 and K130 and when I started to lost control during flight, instead of kill switch I several times reduced throttle instinctively, which ended very badly for my K130 (broken skids, main gear, 2 servos, pusher ...) Ouch, it hurt me. Now I have bought an adapter for the e119 and I fly it on the K130 transmitter to get rid of this bad habit.
FargothPL I’ve had trouble with my controller so I ordered a circuit board for I could fly it on my XK 123 transmitter
@@charlesschaefer9964 So you were lucky in misfortune :)
Ah, I forgot about one more thing. Buy (even the cheapest) "USB Doctor/Tester" and connect it in front of the charger (such a tester measure the current - a better tester can also measure the current flowing in mAh or even more things but they also consume a little power, so the result may be slightly overestimated). If the charger draws much more than 1C, it is probably defective. The original charger from E119 charged my lipo to over 4.52V and destroyed two my LiPo! The charger from K130 was no better either - charging current over 1,5C !! x.x At the moment I am using a charger from the plane (P51D mini) - the only one of three that charged 350/380mAh LiPo consuming a safe 300mA current.

What part?
@@BrianPhillipsRC 0.
.UN bendable nit INbendable
How much does it cost
Hello 👋,
Could u pls tell us this Eachine E160 heli can be blinded wth Xk130 or Xk110 radio since u have all of them?? Wanna fly it wth Xk radio , not having too many tx due to space @ my room. Thanks
I believe you can.
@@BrianPhillipsRC I have the XK X6 and looking at your video the LCD screen looks exactly like the X6 but i noticed with throttle curve and pitch curve the reverse indicators are at the top ! my heli,s in my X6 they are other way round (at bottom) would the A160 be reversed ??
note in your XK K130 video 33:51 indicators at bottom
I want one how can I order it
The link is in the video description...

if you ever want to sell the Apache let me know
It is SOOOO beautiful, sitting on my shelf. I'm a bit of a hoarder...wish UA-cam had private messaging still...
Could you fly upside down with this helicopter?
Yes, 100% for sure, but I can't do it well, so I don't want to crash this heli ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC LOL, One more question, Is there a key on the controler to flip it upside down like you did the up and down?
The only problem with Horizon Hobby is they won’t ship the batteries to my address. Only thing missing. 😩
What? Are you in the USA?
Someone’s head was cut off by an RC helicopter
Interesting. I hate when that happens!!!
@@BrianPhillipsRC it is sad
Thooper, thooper, awthum awthum thooper review!
Thanks!
The manuals are not in English be warned. The words are English but they are not in order to form a sentence. Just received one of these it is a very impressive machine but I am looking for assistance and this seems to be a sunglasses video. I will keep looking.
Yep, video is ONLY about sunglasses. You nailed it on the head!!!
@@BrianPhillipsRC "Nailed it on the head"? Is that how it is spoken?
Sunglasses yes, if you were documenting some type of informational video to store on your area for your retrieval later, why would you stop and talk about glasses? I was attempting to locate accurate information about the E160 and found your archival area and was expecting to find that since that is what it was labeled. I am a grown ass man, I don't have the attention span of a child. I am perhaps looking for material that is presented in a more mature manner. I can say at the time of writing this, I don't recall the music you had so it must not have been too annoying. Man the crap people play during the video as if it is going to impress me. I have noticed recently though that people think youtube is for something else other than to store their own videos for retrieval later and are taking bribes to say nice things about something I assumed they purchased. Turns out they are just sucking corporate dick for a buck or quid. (whichever your country calls it)
Don't worry it is not that big of a deal that you were not providing actual informational material for the device and were just a commercial. Obviously I am still attempting to learn what is real and who is fake on this forum. In the meantime I run adblockers because hobbies, by definition, cost money they are not for profit. Saving videos to youtube is definitely a hobby.
As I said in my initial post the manuals are garbage. They are incomprehensible. Are you aware of a place to acquire accurate instructions that are given in a plain manner? I don't think, I could very well be incorrect, setting up the machine should be fairly similar to other machines it is the transmitter, they all seem to be different at least the one they send with it seem different. Any assistance would be appreciated. I am not a complete dick, just trying to figure out their garbage translations before I self detonate.
@@BrianPhillipsRC "Hit the nail on the head." That's how it is said. Just came to me.
Sorry not by EACHINE XK
almost interchangeable...
Galatians 5:13
yes, glad you noticed ;)
Great video enjoyed it. On the TX there is a switch labelled G.S/GEAR and FMOD/FLAP and it is called 5GH/Gyro Switch in the manual. The manual does not explain what this switch actually does. Could somebody please explain what this switch is for and does its use depend on whether whether 6G or 3D is selected when flying? Thanks.
3d / 6G is the difference between STABILIZATION and AUTO-LEVELING. One will make the heli fly with some help from the flight controller to prevent wind from tipping or redirecting your heli as you navigate, while the other will automatically level the heli when you're not moving the sticks.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thanks.
