Nine Eagles Free Spirit (Kestrel 500sx) Review! Incl. Rotor Spin

[Overdosedd1225]

should mention the metal head upgrade. little pricey at 46.50$ but will help the resilience of the head. Skytec Ne-7001 alum.rotor head. nice review happy flying and have a happy holiday.

HOW TO TAKE THE CANOPY OFF?! hehehe having a hard tym..



[TheError21]

it has different kinds of transmitter?!! coz i saw 2kinds. one is like the solo v2 and the other 1 is like yours sooo which is which?!

[bizzy420]

so all nine eagles free spirits will come with the bigger TX? not the smaller one that comes with the solo pro? solo pro comes with a small Tx with a lcd screen.

[bizzy420]

how is the speed? faster or slower than the solo pro?

[bizzy420]

thanks for the reply. i currently fly the NE solo pro, so this one is almost the same, just bigger right?

i know this is a hobby, and things break, but do you think its durable?

[bizzy420]

how long are flight times, and what exactly do you not like about the trims? sorry english is not my main language. reading is easier for me. is a lot of trimming required? is it faster than the solo pro?

[Live2Fly94]

@bizzy420 Thats okay, your english seems fine. Flight time is around 10 minutes.

Nah trimming usually isn't really needed, usually pretty good right out the box. It might be a bit faster.

[boomerangfreak]

can this heli fly well outdoors with wind

[Live2Fly94]

@boomerangfreak Not if its a strong breeze, but in a bit of wind its usually fine.

[boomerangfreak]

@Live2Fly94 is a bit of wind like a normal day or is it more or less

[Live2Fly94]

@boomerangfreak Like a normal day.

[boomerangfreak]

@Live2Fly94 ok thank you for the info and maybe i will post a video comment

[3255959]

Do you own a 180d or 180z..if so how do they compare to nine eagles220a? I personally have a 180d and i feel i may have a bad RX,because over the last few months and much tweaking and numorous repairs it wil being flying well then for no reason just take nose dives that i can not pull out of before a crash...both my 220a's fly great..if i crash i know why...Try changing your flybar weights to half weight.it flys like a rocket.i also added shark canopy and new landing gear..its bad to the bone

[3255959]

I took my nine eagles and made some great mods to it...i lighted the flybar weights, added nice landing and changed canapy and added another finn...this copter hauls arse even in wind it out performs the 180d by a long shot...plus the heli is not much harder to fly then a coaxial 4 channel...i highly recomend this coper..i have crashed dozens of times..lately i never crash..but it is fun and easy to fix and adjust..get it..i have my free spirit video on my channel... I love this little bird

[3255959]

I have some issues with my free spirt...I have pretty fast sideways flight but swash wont tilt correctly for fast foward flight...i have made various adjustments, but know luck...Is there anyway you could video your copter swash movement and show good view of all linkage so i can re adjust mine to match your setup...ne thing i changed was the length of link that snaps to one side of the flybar..on mine one was longer and i made them the same,but after that adjust i think it was still flying well

[Live2Fly94]

@3255959 Sure, I can get one next week once I get my battery.

I would just keep adjusting by half a turn for the mean time... try to get it right. It can be very tricky, but you can get it.

I'll still make the video.

[3255959]

@Live2Fly94 ...Thanks i think a good video show closeup of a free spirit correctly setup will help a lot of owners...this coper used to do about 20 mph forward now it goes about 2 mph foward and maybe 5 sideways..thanks again

[Live2Fly94]

@3255959 Thats weird, make sure that you didnt "click" in the controller. You can change speed modes, from fast to slow I believe. But I'll make a video hopefully by wednesday once I get some parts in.

[Live2Fly94]

@3255959 nevermind was thinking of a different remote. See that switch on the top right, the silver switch? Flip that, and let me know if it helps. That changes your speed.

[3255959]

@Live2Fly94 yes, i forgot all all about the switch..i also changed linkage,,on mine while holding i have to move stick left foward to make swash full forward..when i pust stick staight forward it does not move swash correctly..is yours like that also/ thanks...

[Live2Fly94]

@3255959 Umm I forget... It might have been like that now that I think of it. Not 100% sure though... I'll be sure to look when i make the video for you.

[marceloajunqueira]

Nice Helicopter, This Transmitter works in the micro Nine Eagles?

[Live2Fly94]

@marceloajunqueira Thanks. I believe so.. not 100% sure. Never tried.

[eltonduet]

I have 5, replace motors with xtreme 180se, and use Raden 900 mAH 20 C, for the price more stablle than anything e-flite makes, I know I have 2 mSR full metal,4 CX2's, 1 Blade 400, 1 Blade SR, 1 Innovator MD530 Thunder Tiger 450 class, 2 mcx's and a walkera 180D, the Free Sprite is the best as far as cost,manitance, would recomemd to anyone with a tight buget, fly's great my next YouTube vide will be with the Free Sprite

[Live2Fly94]

@eltonduet Sweet, do you have a video to prove this? That you have all of these... I have close to 15-20.

[3255959]

I am thiking of getting this heli..what is the MAH of that 7.4 battery? also does it fly the same as solo pro or is it harder to control/?thanks for the review...

[Live2Fly94]

@3255959 I think its 5 or 600. It's quite easy to control, nothing hard.

No Problem.

[jgoudeau207]

thing flys like a drunken sailor!! go with eflight...

[Live2Fly94]

@jgoudeau207 Haha, I guess everyone has their own opinion ;)
