Li’l Flyer Micro RC Helicopter Review

Saturday, September 11th, 2010

Micro RC helicopters can’t get much smaller than the Li’l Flyer. For a very good price you can own one and start flying RC helicopters. There’s been some negative feedback on this model but I’ve found it to be almost perfect.

lil flyer micro rc helicopter

I was first impressed with the repair kit it came with. A little box labeled “repair kit” full of many parts that will likely break. It comes with 8 replacement blades! It’s 2 sets of 4 but you usually just break a couple blades at a time, if any if you’re careful. It also comes with, flybar, screwdriver and hardware.

Charging took about 30 minutes with new batteries. Charging time will be longer as the batteries are used. There’s no forward movement. Some micro RC helicopters will have a tail rotor which can control forward and backwards flight. The Li’l flyer has no just the 2 coaxial blades and the design automatically moves the helicopter forward. If you’re just beginning to fly this is perfect because you’ll learn how to use the rudder. If you have experience flying I would suggest a piece of balled up tape on the front nose to make it faster. It works really well.

The rudder is very sensitive because of the size but the remote is fully capable of controlling fine movements. It also has left/right trim. Take-off is completely wacky but to me it’s a funny feature. The helicopter forces itself to spin when you take off. It’s possible to control but not worth the effort. Once you’re in the air the helicopter will start to move forward. The throttle control stick spring is a little strong but not something to worry about. Flying time is approximately 10 minutes.

Overall, the Li’l Flyer is FUN! I was surprised to see how stable it is in the air, no vibrations at all. Take-off is sketchy but always possible. Flying and landing is very controlled and the LED lights are great for the dark. When I added some weight to the nose it was like putting a new motor on. Definitely try that. I’ve crashed it lightly a few times but there’s not a single scratch! If you’re a beginner flyer, expect to brake some blades and if you’re a hobbyist this one’s fun to mess around with indoors and affordable to promptly add to the collection!

Out of the box:
- Li’l Flyer Ultra Compact RC Helicopter (with LED lights)
- Lipo Battery (charged by transmitter cable directly in helicopter)
- Infra-red Transmitter, single channel (sold A/B/C for up to 3 models in the air at the same time), 80 foot range.
- Repair Kit

No batteries included. Requires 6 AA’s.

When RC Helicopters Collide

Friday, September 10th, 2010

I trained my friend with a buddy box (LP5DSM) and my DX7 on the E-Flite Blade mSR. Not a single crash and he was ready by himself. He took it by himself and flew it nose out, take off, and land, without crashing. Not bad from only flying coaxial micro RC helicopters. I had my Blade CX2 so I started flying at the same time. We were pretty good hovering them beside each other. Many flights later it happened, they collided. Surprisingly, the Blade mSR won the battle. The Blade CX2 top blade smashed, i think the canopy, of the Blade mSR causing the blade to snap at the end. The Blade mSR, not a scratch. Cool.

I’ve flown the Blade mSR everywhere for the past couple of months and I’ve yet to replace a part. It’s had several careful crashes and falls. The blades are scratched but not cut. I’ve had to clean the motors a few times but other than that it’s been perfect. I would still suggest the Blade CX2 if you want to start flying RC helicopters because it has more power for controlled flight and crashing once will most likely brake it so you’ll try harder to fly with control.

How to setup a Buddy Box

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

In this video I’ll show you how to connect a second transmitter to use as a “buddy box” when learning how to fly RC Helicopters or RC anything.

You will need a programmable transmitter and another one with a trainer input. The trainer cord can simply be a male to male stereo audio cable like one you would use with a computer. I found mine in a box of audio cables.

Bind your RC Helicopter to your master transmitter.

Depending on your transmitter you’ll need to set specific settings under the Trainer options. For the DX7 connecting to the LP5DSM (blade cx2 trasmitter) you’ll need to set P-Link mode. For connecting a DX7 to a DX6 you’ll need to select NORMAL mode. You also have an option to select which switch is used to give control to buddy box. With the DX7 you can select the left or right rocker switches.

You don’t need to turn on your slave controller. The feed from the cable doesn’t require power. You can also unplug the transmitter from your slave remote as it’s not required.

Plug in the cable to your master transmitter then plug it into the slave.

Test the controls and have fun. Now you can learn how to fly or let a friend try without the fear of someone else crashing.

E-Flite Blade 120 SR Review

Monday, August 16th, 2010

The Blade 120 SR is a new model by E-Flite and it follows the smaller Blade mSR. I’ve been flying the Blade mSR and I’m very happy with it. Now, the Blade 120 SR is in the collection and it’s another solid model to fly. The Blade 120 SR is a slightly larger model and it’s a great upgrade. This is good model if you want to get out of coaxial helicopters and into single rotor collective pitch. This isn’t a helicopter you can pick up and not expect to brake in the first flight. If you crash lightly it will most likely be fine, but a good smack into a tree will probably be a trip to the hobby store. If you don’t have it already, get the Phoenix RC Flight simulator to practice.

The Details
What’s different? I kind of see it as a Nintendo Gameboy, offering slight modifications to their lineup every so often. The biggest difference with the Blade 120 SR is the size. It uses the same 5-1 control board as seen on the Blade mCX. With that said, the technology is the same. It’s the Blade mSR’s other brother.

RC Helicotpers – 1 Month Summary

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010

I’ve been flying a few days a week for just over a month now. I’ve been using E-Flite models starting with the Blade CX2 then moving to the Blade SR and the Blade mSR. I started practicing with training wheels and the phoenix flight simulator. I was quick to pick it up and I’m able to push the CX2 to its limits without problems. You can only go so fast with the coaxial models so I upgraded to the Blade SR and picked up an mSR on the side.

The E-Flite Blade CX2 got me started. I bought the RTF kit, extra battery and training gear. I was off the ground first go but only for a few seconds hover. I spent 1 week hovering and moving forward/backward left/right nose out. If you’re lucky to get a windless day take it outside and give yourself some playing room. The Blade CX2 is simple to correct if you lose control. Watch the wind. Even if the trees aren’t blowing there could be small small gusts that will affect the flight. Adding extra weight to the nose and moving the battery forward will help outdoor flights. I’ve crashed the CX2 a few times. I’ve replaced blades, skids, and one crash took out my canopy so I had an excuse to get another one. The main shaft is very slightly bent and noticeable at full throttle but it hasn’t affected the helicopter enough to need replacing. That will be the next repair.

The E-Flite Blade SR got me started on single rotor RC helicopters. I also got the training gear. The Phoenix RC Flight Simulator has the full line of E-Flite models so I flew the Blade SR for a few hours on the Sim before taking it out. My maiden flight was a success and I’ve been practicing basic forward/backward left/right movements nose out. I felt I was comfortable so I tried a simple circle. I ended up correcting a problem the wrong way and smashed it into the ground. I broke the blades, training gear, main gear, tail rod, and blew the tail motor. Fun, and I’ll have more fun undoing the solder to rewire the tail motor…

The E-Flite Blade mSR is the micro version of the Blade SR and my latest addition. It’s basically a very small single rotor helicopter and it’s fully loaded. I got the Bind and Fly kit meaning I can use my existing transmitter to control the Blade mSR. The maiden flight was the best one I’ve had yet. Out of the box, the Blade mSR was performing very well with my limited flying experience. I could fly it comfortably (nose out) in all directions. I brought the helicopter outside and played around with orientation. After just 2 days I’m very comfortable hovering and spot landing it. I own a handful of micro helicopters but the Blade mSR destroys them. If you like booting around every now and then indoors then this is the model for you. Spend the extra money and get into a real micro RC Helicopter.

Phoenix Flight Simulator – MAC/PC

Sunday, June 6th, 2010

Back to the hobby store…

I talked to Don at Boys with Cool Toys. He was a technician working on a T REX 450 and explained what he was fixing. I walked in wanting velcro for my battery but eventually saw the RC flight simulators. Don knew everything about the variety of sims out there and got me on the Phoenix RC Flight Simulataion Horizon Hobby Exclusive Edition. Horizon makes the Blade’s so it includes my CX2. The simulator also comes with a transmitter to USB converter so your PC will recognize it. It plugs into the Trainer input on my Spektrum transmitter. The box says “PC/MAC” written on the top, and Don was surprised it worked on a Mac. I’ve got a macbook pro to try it on so I that would be a bonus. Not so easy…

The DVD wouldn’t install on the Mac, of course it won’t there were no compatabile installs on the disk. I went to the website support and it clearly says it will run on your mac, IF, you run a virtual or partitioned windows OS and that will cost you a windows license if you don’t have one. Sure, it’s not that hard with BootCamp on the Mac but not easy if you’ve never done it before. I found the fine print on the box later. Errrrrr. For the record, it runs like a dream on the macbook pro with windows besides the known heat-up issues when pushing graphics on windowfied macs.

I’ve had some fun with the flight sim. I’ve got it hooked up to the 50″! Having the transmitter connected to the computer for controlling flight. I’ve put about 6 hours into it and flying the CX2 is getting really easy. I’ve been flying the HoneyBee and Air Wolf for more of a challenge. I can’t talk technical about it because I’m really not sure what I’m talking about so that will wait for another post. The graphics were extremely realistic. Now, I play video games, a lot, and I’m packing a geforce 8800 GT, so there’s no problem testing its performance. There are 17 sceneries you can fly on. The water and close surroundings were as real as a photographic picture and movements couldn’t be any better unless I had a better transmitter. I’m really curious how a performance transmitter feels compared to my beginner spektrum.

Gas Rc Airplanes

RC Jet Information for Beginner Pilots by Michael Cottier

RC jets are by far the most exciting and exhilarating of any remote control airplane that a person can fly. Radio controlled jets come in many different sizes, engine types and shapes. The most amazing thing about these toy jets are that they can reach speeds of up to 100 miles per hour! Of course that isn't the average speed for all remote control jets, but it does give you an idea of what you can do in the future when you get to be a more experienced pilot.

So you want to fly RC jets? Well then I can help you by teaching you the basics that you need to know too get started. First off, you need to learn about the different types of RC jets that exist on the market, and what type of engine powers them.

Ducted fan jets are the most popular among hobbyist, and are very easy to fly also. Plus, they are a lot less dangerous, since the propeller and engine is located inside of a duct, which protects adults and children from it. Ducted fan jets also are very quiet and operate smoothly, requiring very little maintenance and fine tuning.

The next type of jet is called pusher jets, and they are much easier, slower and inexpensive then ducted fan jets are. RC pusher jets have a propeller dead center in the back of them that just pushes it along through the air. Plus, with an aerodynamic design, it gives the jet that extra speed and maneuverability that we all love about them.

Last but not least we will talk about turbine ducted powered RC jets, which are as close as you can come to owning a real jet. Turbine ducted engines use real jet fuel and run just like a real jet engine does. For hobbyists who want the realistic jet flying experience, this type of R/C jet is for you. Of course, you need experience flying and operating remote control airplanes before you progress to turbine ducted jets.

The speeds of turbine engines are very fast and can actually turn your model jet into a lethal weapon if you can't fly it properly. This means that you could get seriously injured if you don't know what you are doing. So if you are going to get into remote control jets, start with a pusher, then progress to a ducted fan jet. After you have gained experience from those crafts, then you should move onto turbine ducted engines.

The next important thing to discuss is about RC jet maintenance and what you need to do too take care of your jet properly. You should always use a good, high quality, fuel that has the right amount of oil in it. Also, make sure turbine ducted engines have the proper fuel and air mixture going through its engine.

Another good maintenance tip is to keep your engine properly tuned if it is a fuel powered turbine jet, but if it is electric, just make sure that you keep it in a cool dry place so the motor will stay operational.

Remote control jets can be so fun sometimes that it is scary, but every flyer needs to always keep in mind that it can be dangerous if flown near people, because of the speed of them. Also, remember that jet engines, electric or gas, operate at very high speeds, so to much use in one flight can cause your engine or motor to overheat and fail.

Read more about RC jets on Michael's website. Plus, you can get more information on RC model airplanes by exploring the rest of his site.

Gas Rc Airplanes

Gas Rc Airplanes

The Pros and Cons of Gas rc airplanes by Michael Cottier

Gas rc airplanes, also known as nitro planes, are very realistic and are the most popular type of airplane amongst remote control hobbyist. The only problem is that many beginners buy one without ever having a clue to what work is really involved with a fuel powered RC airplane.
First off beginners need to know that owning gas rc airplanes is actually like owning a real airplane. You have to maintain it, refuel it, keep its oil clean and adjust certain parts to achieve the best possible flight. Some may be turned off when they hear that, thinking that is too much work for a hobby!

Well the fact is some people actually like that and they enjoy taking care of an rc airplane. You may even be one of those people and don't even know it.

It is enjoying too get your hands dirty and actually build and repair something. That is why many people get into hobbies, to build things. But then again, it is also nice to just go to a park, or your backyard, and have a quick flight without the hassle that comes with fuel powered engines. Electric powered rc airplanes don't require much work at all, and will have you flying in minutes, so that is the best alternative.

There are many ups and downs to gas powered rc airplanes, so let's discus them now, starting with the bad side to them. First off they are noisy, which can actually be a problem for some people who live in an area where noise is a concern.

The next bad thing about nitro planes is they cost more to buy and keep operational compared to electric rc airplanes. Finally, another con to gas rc airplanes is that they take a much longer time to construct and put together. Sometimes they can come with just balsa wood, and you have to cut out each piece yourself. Some people will actually not even be able to do this because of lack of tools and skills.

Now let's talk about the good side to gas rc airplanes and why they can be a good choice for some beginner pilot's. The best thing, in my opinion, about nitro planes is that they can fly for a much longer time then an electric engine that is powered by a battery. This is ideal for people who want to spend hours flying, not just fifteen or twenty minutes.

The next best thing is the authenticity that comes with a gas powered engine and plane. If you are one of those people who want the most realistic experience possible, then you definitely want a gas rc airplane. Not only do they sound authentic, but they also fly and operate like a real airplane does. Unfortunately it also comes with the maintenance like a real plane does, but like I said before, some people find that enjoyable.

Last but not least, gas rc airplanes have much more speed and torque then a measly electric engine ever could have. This makes it ideal for pilot racers or people who just want a fast airplane. I have even seen some gas rc airplanes before that actually could go hundreds of miler per hour, and even required real jet fuel!

Now I will end this discussion with some final words of wisdom that I hope every pilot will take into consideration. Make sure you keep your gas plane and engine as clean as possible, and properly maintained before and after every flight. You also need to remember to keep the oil changed so your engine stays clean on the inside. Proper tuning is also very important to make sure that your engine runs at maximum speed and uses as little fuel as possible, plus it needs to have the proper fuel and air mixture.
