TOP BEST RC Helicopters

Online social commentary (media commentary):

The Xheli box and their ads say "Chinook", but to me this is a SeaKnight CH46. The newest 2.4 Gigahertz Walkera CH 46 Tandem 4 channels radio controlled electric helicopters are here now. The most tremendous and latest innovation in the 2.4 Gigahertz system allows the transmitter and receiver to have quicker response from the control to maneuver easier, eliminates interference since the transmitter and receiver lock-on to each other. Best of all, no more worrying about frequency control. The 2.4 Gigahertz Walkera Chinook type Tandem helicopter leads the revolution in two co-axial rotor systems functioning together giving the helicopter top notch stability.

The Walkera CH 46 Tandems comes RTF (ready-to-fly) making it simple and easy for almost anyone to fly. Perfect for beginners that just want to learn how to fly and for professionals who want to have full access to it's true capabilities.

Thanks for watching, and please subscribe so to not miss the next video of this helicopter in forward flight. Dave

Excellent review! Thanks for letting me fly it today. That thing is the grand daddy of all indoor helis! Flies like a dream! 5 stars!!
"Nice review Dave :-) 5*
I have about 20 flights with the BladeMCX and it's a bit more dificult than flying planes but I can now do forward figure 8 and spot landings. Also got a sim for practicing airplane 3D and the basics of heli flying during the winter months."
"really stable, really cool...

I just got mine and am about to change the TX to left hand throttle - get too confused working in reverse.
nice flying, & great video."
"cool video !! love the stability of this heli.
But just for a personal point of view, I know that u dont crash much but if u do its better if u untighten a bit ur blades, not too loose but thight enough that they stay in the right position and if u hit them they go out of position and dont break"
man you are totally awesome at flying helicopters. i have a twister aggressor 4ch and i take it out almost every day to try to do the stuff you can do :D
Hey Dave... yet another great video! I have just bought a Walkera 4#3Q Cobra... any chance you could get your hands on one and give us a flight demo/review? I really would love to see this helo flown in the hands of an expert.
Great video, loved your Heli, very nice, and thank you for taking the time to make this video!! I want one! 5*'s!
I now know what I want for X-Mas, nice flying & great video Dave
"WOW! is that thing stable enough to put the throttle up and trim to perfection and dont touch a single thing on the transmitter and it will hover, obviously not in 1 spot, thats impossible, but im sure you catch my drift ;)

excellent review dave and im glad... you got something rather different this time :)
5 stars!"
just wanted to say because of your channel I started flying v911 became a pro at that and moved on to the v977. I got bit by the bug??
It seems to me that wall adapters are included in a lot of Heli's these days
Beautiful! Very stable!
I really like how much you enjoy the helicopter once you open it up XD
That was Xtra COOL!!! GREAT Flying!! Thanks for sharing!!
I like all your reviews, bro. Thanks for all the info.
Very VERY nice Heli... My grandfather was a helicopter pilot in Vietnam and he flew one of the big dual rotor personnel transporters. He could make that helicopter do everything except sit up and beg for table scraps... He could land the back half on a slope and keep the other half airborne. Amazing. But XHeli did an awesome job recreating the CH46. R.I.P Grand dad. Wish he were here to see these great replicas
hey dave , i was amazed at this . unfortunatly i have found it hard to fund my rc interests , as i am young , 14 infact this christmas , so any amount of those vouchers would be amazing , as i see you offered in the beginning of this spectacular video , i hope you accept , thanks!
"man that thing is making some power

and thank you for your service may god be with you."
I love your videos, thank you. Cool lawn mower btw
Well flown great looking model cool!
great and nice looking heli!
That thing is so cool and very stable in the air.I wonder if you could attach a hook on a string to pick things up with it?
Hey Dave! I finally found out how to set the swash plates on this heli to get balanced forward flight, check out my video response
"i wonder how big of a fish you can haul in with this chinook. :)

Sir, would this heli be stable outdoors at say gusting 5-10 mph winds?

thanks for reviewing this. your expertise and guidance are very appreciated, especially for an RC rookie like myself."
Nice one NightFlyyer! I got mine about a month ago, check out my nite lights!
It's because of guys like this that you enjoy all the freedom that you have today. Which you don't appreciate. Thank you NightFlyer for posting these great videos. And even more for your service to our country. Don't you live in SD? I live in ND.
"Hi Dave, I want to move on from my small piccoZ heli. Do you think this would be a good helicopter for me?
(I've flown my piccoZ for about 6 months)"
You reminded me of a kid in a candy store as you opened up that box. Ofcourse that would be my reaction too! Youre right, the heli's quality looks great!
Sweet!! I'm going to order this.
My 91 year old dad has an RC CH-47. I was blown away when I saw it. Also LOL'd.
What kind of stuff have you picked up with it :P And has anyone gone to the lengths of making an RC crane heli that picks thins up and/or fires missiles?
Another one of my UK youtube buddies have that very same model Dave and he is as pleased with it as you are mate,so i'll take that it is as good as you both say it is lol,5*
Thank you for your service to our country.
Hey, the video was extraordinarily good. But i must ask, is there a certain dead weight this helicopter can carry. Ive heard that its around 2 pounds which is pretty good. I just want to know because i purchased the fire version and I'm gettin it in a few days and i want to see if i can get a night setup on it for a video. thanks
very nice, it seems to be very powerfull too.
Hey, thanks for responding to my comment and i know you get a bunch of these, but i must ask you one more question. What are the biggest pros and cons of this model? You do not have to be specific i just want to know the basics. Thanks. O ya i have to say in your Christmas story video had some interesting voices and that tree was immense. Later.
Good demo, can tell by your impression that you're very pleased.
"G'day dave like your review so much im going to get one.
have you had any problems with it at all ?
cheers
Shane"
could you make a video on the difference between different channel helicopters?
ive never flown a rc heli before im gonna get a mini apache ah-64 to see how i get on then ill get this one u land the heli so softly good piloting
"This is one of the smoothest set of sticks i've felt in a long time"
"could you explain how it flies if we disregard its coaxials, step by step:

go forward = both rotors forward cyclic?

yaw = cyclic?

aileron = cyclic?
is there any channel controlled by differntial engine speed, and with a help of a gyro?"
I'm impressed how you fly that thing in your garage. Very hard.
How come it needs counter-rotating props? Don't you get the same effect if the front and back rotors turn in opposite directions?
"Semper Fi there big guy!! Nice flight!!..
Sheesh.. as if I don't have enough toys..
Now you made me want one of these!!"
"Cool new toy dave!
I heard bad things about xheli on rc universe but I'm glad you had a good experiance with them.

Hehe it showed that I had the first view"
does the forward fly control allow for variable speed? I mean going forward not up , what would you say the range of that speed is? also which gimble controls the speed forward control?
Hmm I might get one it looks nice. btw nice vid 5/5
My dad got a similar one for me for christmas but it's a different brand, he bought it from ebay and it flies poorly. Bad radio connection and crashed it. I broke one wheel off of it on impact but now I am going to tell my old man to get them from X-Heli. :)
Dave, it's weird how an ad (out of all the others) for that exact heli from xheli comes up right next to this video. No biggie, just wanted to point that out. Also, thanks for the reply to my last comment.
You should do all reviews by First:unboxing, Second:Building, Last:Maiden Flight
"yay !! cos would be a shame to breack the blades.
I just bought a heli for 41 euros (more or les 50-60 $), the only bad point that I saw on this heli is the time of flight that is arround 5 minutes (but its because its soo light and small (23 cm of body), the estetic is the same that the heli on this vid.
Its called Twin Trooper , from air hogs.
wanted to see if u could check it out : )"
really cool,,,exellent,,''muy bueno amigo''
"Very cool!!
I sure wouldn't have tempted fate by taking the maiden flight inside my garage though. My version of the video would have included a crash."
hey nightflyer could you please do a review for the walkera dragonfly cb180d? thanks
Hey once again sorry for all the questions but i want to find out one more thing, where do you get the items for a night setup such as ''tube lighting'' or LED lights that could all fit on and stay on the heli. Along with the fact that they all need to be battery operated. thanks and by the way i finally got around to seeing your fishing LOL wow. nice catch. Lata
If it's an indoor heli then you would need quite lage space to fly it in, right? Or can i fly this heli in a regular room?
Hello, Have you done any fine-tuning before the first flight ....???
it takes me forever to put an airplane like that together! lol ur pro at it! oo i loove ur videos!
"Injured vet, recon co.
getting into rc crawling, keep flyin brotha.
remember ridin in those bad boys in iraq
fractured my tibia coming out hell hole, shitty hurse master"
The problem with RC helicopters is that they can't make roll movements. At least I haven't seen any RC helicopters roll.
try fishing with that. heheh. I bet it started to get windy in there for sure. Looks like that turbulance that is bouncing off the walls hits a heavy, stable machine so I guess It makes it a bit easier to fly. And it is camoflage so it would work a bit like a real osprey. really cool. 5/5 happy flying.
Dunno i you know it, but the CH-47 Chinook is, in contrary to what many belive, "only" a medium lift helicopter.
"Hi Dave Q: is the CH47 sea King any different from the CH46, NitroRCL sells a CH47 Chinook for 229.00$. they look the same
greath video by the way your always fun to watch with your buddy"
"Correction this is a USMC/ USN CH46 Sea Knight
USA flew the CH47 Chinook and is about 15% larger
OLD USMC crew chief"
"Cheers Dave, I responded to this one, I'll try again.
Thanks
Mike"
"Whats number of Channels does this Heli have? And can it's radio receiver be removed and placed in to another heli / plane?

My F-15 needs a transmitter and receiver, which costs as much as the plane itself, but if I can buy a new heli alongside the radio equipment I'd like to know. Cheers."
you got some amazing skills :) im 13 and wanna start with this hobby. can you recomend a heli for me?
Bonjour, Avez vous fait des reglage precis avant le premier vol....???
rock on man, hope u find what your looking for...
"yes yes I know u cant compare the 2, but its a good heli for kids and beginners, especially in winter where u flie in ur room ^^, butr yeah,I find it better, much better than mosquito from T2M or picoz.
but the heli u have on ur vid its a really good one , I dont doubt it."
how well do the rotorr baldes on this RC chopper sruvive on impact of a wall or tree
I bought the same heli-it never flew right-sent it back to xheli to fix & they sent it back in the same condition.The heli & xheli was a BAD experience.Total waste of time & money
OK, the model being flown is a CH-46. The CH47 Chinook is the Army verson of the heavy lift helicopter. I have over 4000 hrs flying the CH-46 and would love to buy this model however, the model is not available on the website that is published. Anyone have a clue of where we can buy this model????
you can make the cargo bay in the back that will be cool
I don't get why this has two co-axial shafts (four sets of blades altogether). I thought these tandem helicopters (front and back shafts) automatically cancel the torque of each other? So I would guess that coaxial blades on each wouldn't be necessary.
Dave check out dancindestroyer's channel, he's got 2 videos on the Chinook, one of which is a movie reenactment using an actual RC Chinook similar to yours...;) I thought of you during this when I found this. The music video reminds me of the 60s when they played this music! ;)
Nice review
Why on earth does most RC choppers have multiple rotors above each other? What's wrong with the *scale model, scale technology, go airbourne* formula?
whats the best website to buy it from? and do you have coupons i can use?
How come I never seen any nitro powered Helos (of coarse you wouldn't be test flying in your garage)? Is electric your preference? I like electric just because it is cheaper and easier to handle. But I've been driving nitro cars and trucks and will never go back to electric.
Gotta love the shit hook!
I just got mine today!!
Wear a coat? I recommend safety glasses as a loose blade could mean you loose and eye for good and with it all that nice depth perception that allows you to control these 'man' toys.
Is this an outdoor or indoor heli?
Sexual addiction is best described as a progressive intimacy disorder characterized by compulsive sexual thoughts and acts. Like all addictions, its negative impact on the addict and on family members increases as the disorder progresses. Over time, the addict usually has to intensify the addictive behavior to achieve the same results.For some sex addicts, behavior does not progress beyond compulsive masturbation or the extensive use of pornography or phone or computer sex services. For others, addiction can involve illegal activities such as exhibitionism, voyeurism, obscene phone calls, child molestation or rape.Sex addicts do not necessarily become sex offenders. Moreover, not all sex offenders are sex addicts. Roughly 55 percent of convicted sex offenders can be considered sex addicts.About 71 percent of child molesters are sex addicts. For many, their problems are so severe that imprisonment is the only way to ensure society¡¯s safety against them.Society has accepted that sex offenders act not for sexual gratification, but rather out of a disturbed need for power, dominance, control or revenge, or a perverted expression of anger. More recently, however, an awareness of brain changes and brain reward associated with sexual behavior has led us to understand that there are also powerful sexual drives that motivate sex offenses.The National Council on Sexual Addiction and Compulsivity has defined sexual addiction as ¡°engaging in persistent and escalating patterns of sexual behavior acted out despite increasing negative consequences to self and others.¡± In other words, a sex addict will continue to engage in certain sexual behaviors despite facing potential health risks, financial problems, shattered relationships or even arrest.The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Psychiatric Disorders, Volume Four describes sex addiction, under the category ¡°Sexual Disorders Not Otherwise Specified,¡± as ¡°distress about a pattern of repeated sexual relationships involving a succession of lovers who are experienced by the individual only as things to be used.¡± According to the manual, sex addiction also involves ¡°compulsive searching for multiple partners, compulsive fixation on an unattainable partner, compulsive masturbation, compulsive love relationships and compulsive sexuality in a relationship.¡±Increasing sexual provocation in our society has spawned an increase in the number of individuals engaging in a variety of unusual or illicit sexual practices, such as phone sex, the use of escort services and computer pornography. More of these individuals and their partners are seeking help.The same compulsive behavior that characterizes other addictions also is typical of sex addiction. But these other addictions, including drug, alcohol and gambling dependency, involve substances or activities with no necessary relationship to our survival. For example, we can live normal and happy lives without ever gambling, taking illicit drugs or drinking alcohol. Even the most genetically vulnerable person will function well without ever being exposed to, or provoked by, these addictive activities.Sexual activity is different. Like eating, having sex is necessary for human survival. Although some people are celibate ¡ª some not by choice, while others choose celibacy for cultural or religious reasons ¡ª healthy humans have a strong desire for sex. In fact, lack of interest or low interest in sex can indicate a medical problem or psychiatric illness.
@limmylimm because there isnt a tell Rotors it helps with the Torque i think... if it didnt have a tell rotor the body of the chopper would just spine
i hate unboxing takes to long XD nice vid your love for rc made me want to buy one my self XD
wow that looks good but to scared to get 1 cus I keep crashing my trex 600 and cant get the training program to calibrater my controller to clear view rc simulator. thanks wes
"sir can u give me some details on the honeybee u told me about for outdoor flying and some links to its videos and a price?

thank you"
I'm thinking of buying one for flying at home. Is 49.99$ is a good price?
nightflyer do u have any coupons for xheli because i think im getting that plane
Nice heli
is it easy to handle?
my father flew those in Vietnam in the USMC
where can i find one of these
how much does something like this cost ??
Could you hang something under it? And how much weight?
haha, you got guts to test fly it in the garage
liked the look on ur face man! can tell you were really enjoying it.hopefully i will too pretty soon
how does the helicopter yaw without a tail?
try 2 make it hover then slowly take off the power for the blades, with my mini chopper i crashed it lolz (it took off the power 2 quickly)
is this good for a beginner?
I want it for my child
what if you tryed to land an airplane or heli on thick Ice?
do you get a discount on all these planes and helicopters for reviewing them? cause you seem to have alot.
make a video of it picking up a small object
why twin counterrotating rotors?
how much did u pay for it after the coupons and discounts?
It's a nickname for it because they usually fly at night and it's sounds like i'm making this up but it's 11:00 pm and one just flew over my house!
needs brushless motors and a 3 cell lipo
Try and lift something up,see how much you can fly with
oh I thought this was a real chopper when i saw the vid pic then i see the comments "i just got mine today" lol
What kind of Bike is that i ride a 02 Shadow Spirit 1100 my self Great vids
A real CH-46 doesn't have multiple rotors on top of each other, so why does this model do? I've asked this before and having poor tail rotor theories as reply but that's not what I'm asking. Why does the model chopper have 2 rotors ABOVE each other. ON TOP of each other. That is TOTALLY unrelated with the tail rotor. To give it more torque? That would only make sense.
awesome
where did you get it
noticed alot of helios/planes and what not when ur unboxing for reviews... care to do a video showing everything you have?
super nice
