Blade Nano RC Helicopter S3 RTF (Comes Right Out of The Box) with AS3X and Safe, BLH01300 Blue/Black

I love this little helicopter it has been a ton of fun to fly around. I got this to get an intro into 3d flying and I think this is a great one to learn with. It’s really durable the blades can be a little brittle depending on where you’re learning to fly it at so stay away from harder surfaces if you want to keep them a little longer but they’re cheap to replace and it comes with an extra set. Overall easy to use durable decent in light wind for size and great intro into collective pitch helicopters.

Flys great and is very manuverable. Not really geared for new pilots. Great for those learning 3D flight.

If you are going to fly this heli on mode 1 then it’s not that bad but mode 2 is extremely hard. Very difficult to control the helicopter. I’m a complete beginner when it comes to 3D flying and even though this helicopter is small I question its durability as I already got scratches on the tail blade. Very worrying but I need to do more testing to see if it is worth it. Battery life is short but that is expected. I personally think this is a little expensive. I would buy this heli if it goes on sale for $100. It is a very quick heli but this might not be ideal for some people.

Out of the box mine was not right, modes were not working as they should. I had computer radio modes. No real beginner mode and customer support is a nightmare to reach All through chat that ends in leave a message. That said it corrected itself how no idea. 3 flights in modes are fixed it's fine. Flys amazing and very happy with it. Definitely would recommend.

Not a beginner helicopter. You can start to learn by using this heli but you'll need to be patient.It gives you 3 modes of operation.Normal for beginners that self rights the heli.Stunt 1 that allows for more radical flight movements and gives negative pitch.Stunt 2 that allows for 3d flight. Very aggressive maneuvers.It's a great entry level helicopter as it is relatively inexpensive and parts are not too difficult to replace. YouTube is your friend here.I have many r/c helicopters. This one is the one I enjoy throwing around without fear.

Honestly, I figured "advanced" technology would let me down eventually... And this Heli did just that! Managed to get it to fly stable with the included transmitter... Bound the NANO S3 to my Spektrum DX7... Following the instructions, collective "idle-up" would not work... when the switch was flipped the motor would slowly cool-down and negative pitch would insue... HUH??? Upon 15 or 20 failed attempts to get the cyclic, throttle AND proper collective programmed into the DX7... I re-bound the NANO S3 to the factory included transmitter again... NOW THIS TIME THE SAME THING!!! After over 3 hours of trying various re-binds with different stick positions to try and reprogram the NANOs on-board receiver/flight controller I gave up... THE INSTRUCTIONS DID NOT WORK EITHER FREAKING WAY!!! I returned it the next morning ... I cant see how all of the sudden Blade micro helis AND Eflite UMX receivers and programming with additional "gyros" and "SAFE" mode are so complicated! I'll stick with my original Blade MCPX, original MCPX BL and my original Spektrum AR6400 series of UMX receiver bricks... Simple, no gyro programming BS and straight up "They will fly as good as you can make them"... I like to be in control... Not a sensor-array and a computer making minute control inputs for me... THATS WHY I LEARNED HOW TO REALLY FLY... BECAUSE I CONTROL THE MINUTE INPUTS VIA THE TRANSMITTER STICKS... NOT A COMPUTER. Put control back to the people...

I flew radio controlled airplanes for roughly 15 years before giving it up. And I miss it. When I saw this helicopter I thought what the heck I'll give it a try. I am so glad I did.. it is so much fun to fly and very easy to learn for a guy in his late sixties like me. After only 4 or 5 days, I'm able to keep it in a hover for more than a couple seconds! Right now I'm just flying it around in my apartment, haven't taken it outside yet. Looking forward to that but I gotta get some extra batteries first. Would definitely recommend and buy again and I'm already looking at a larger heli.Just a note after a month of flying... the throttle and the rotor control are on the left stick. There is no ratchet on the throttle so if you move the rotor control it's too easy to also move the throttle and lose or gain altitude unintentionally. My only complaint.

Exelente producto , lo recomiendo 100%

This helicopter is indestructible, I've flown into the ground so many times and It continues to flyBatteries do get worn out after 15 flightsPanic button has saved me a few times

On every flight its destroying its own body. Maybe this one is faulty but it keeps eating the right edge of its canopy. (Look at the picture)That part cant hit anything. And the heli did not even take off and crash yet. I'm not sure if its normal.Update: Be careful ordering from HopMeUp. They wont pay its import fees and taxes when ship to Canada. You'll get a surprise bill from Fedex. The point is, actual price will be higher than what it says in Amazon page.

Easy to fly right out of the box
