  • Where can u get this because they only have the parts at banana hobby

  • hope i can fly like this some day just starting to get back into helis now that they r getting cheaper

  • this isnt PALM SIZED YOU FUCKING MORON

  • @felixthemaster1 it fits in his palm asshole

  • @NiggazWannaShootGunz no it doesnt you dick. everything has to fit including the tail you fucking noob

  • THIS ISNT PALM SIZED YOU FUCKING MORON

  • How is that palm sized or a micro heli? are you fucking retarded?

  • @BananaHobby Great! Hey could you please sponsor me? I'm the same TheSPilot from twitter.

  • Is there even one thing made in the USA on it? Thanks corporate America!

  • @ChicaWolverina Should i purchase this item on the site?

  • @antman995 I'd research this further, and do listen to the voice of experience... yeah, yeah. But I'm interested in this size and sophistication, but I would like something that has a real company behind it, that isn't just a ready-to-fly etc.

  • @antman995 no. thier website is terrible. they have awfull customer service and never answers your questions. they send you faulty items and wont replace them!

  • I'd like to stuff that prick in a barrel..... They will rip you off...DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!

  • @wild77joker AGREED, this border jumper is the face of the company! Whats that say off the bat?! Plus he has no idea what hes doing, hes reading from a script on a prompt. Anyway this company is horrible and me and about 17 other individuals reported them to the bed of business. Hopefully in Jan or feb of 2012

  • trex 250 is much better

  • If you buy it, try not to crash it. If your experience with Banana Hobby's support is anything like mine, they will never return your email. Seems like Pete is only interested in selling stuff, and not interested in the "lifetime, professional support" he promised.

  • No drugs next time please.

  • Fucking toy...I love it!

  • i wanna buy one , how can i get that.

  • I called to order one of these and they said its "NO LONGER AVAILABLE'!Its on the market less than a year,i feel sorry for the guys who bought one of these,you probably cant even get parts for it!I will buy an ALIGN product,they have no competition with places like this on the market

  • How to look it up at the site?Whats the name of it?

  • Do you think you could put a camera on that without affecting the performance much?

  • do not order from these guys. sent me a defective product which i returned. had to follow up 3 times so that these guys could process my return. It took them almost a month do finally do so. Lastly, find out that i was responsible for shipping charges back n' forth. so only the helicopter's original price was returned; appearently, thats the policy fine prints i didnt repeat about. its wierd cos they are the ones who sent me defective product. buy it from xheli instead

  • i want to buy a rc heli but just a small one and to keep it under £40 wat wud u reccomend?

  • @mattism2000 u will get a cheap rc from ebay buy it now

  • Worst company I ever dealt with... Banana hobby.

  • @helipilot727 : So not only satisfied customers ? Hum, very strange... I have dealed with them and got the same reaction afterward... Very strange that it only happens afterward don't you ?

  • @helipilot727 yeah bud i bought this through banana hobby, im in aus. bought blitz rc atom 250, it arrived with brocken head unit bent balance bar, they wouldnt replace anything, bought parts to fix it and even parts arrived broken. called them a number of times and they wouldnt believe me. this was my first 6ch heli, spent all up with parts shippingand case $700 aus, fuck banana hobby alls i can say is if they were here id at the shop sorting this out

  • Goofy hat ! Good flying. But what is it called ? Does HK make a clone ? Is it any good if they do ?

    Pretty quiet, must have a good muffler. And the exhaust is very clean.

  • @donlemedwn Muffler is ineffective on electric motors

  • wow

  • I would never buy anything from these guys again. Just sayin'.

  • ur so dang good rc pilot

  • @Sporepoops you should see alan szabo jr then, go ahead

  • I love the read head assembly can you buy it separatley it would awesome on my TREX 250!!!!

  • You must have a pretty big palm if its 'Palm size'.

  • I have a steady girlfriend. Can I still get into r/c helicopters?

  • @jamesandrew2000 If she's anything like Bruce Jenner's wife, then no. If your GF is very patient and understanding, go for it.

  • who has a 1 foot palm?

  • That is so sick! Awesome stuff.

  • i want a good 3d helicopter that can perform all aerobatics.... could you name a couple of helicopters that will be good

  • its not a good hillcopter i hand on and it looks good but realy is not

  • hi i have this helli and it does not fly like that i think that one has been up graded plus it does not stand any kind of crash as i had a tiny crash from about 6 inc in hight and it just bent every thing and now dose not fly to great. not a good helli. BUT THAT IS JUST WHAT I THINK!

  • ace when they gunna be up for sale?

  • Does anyone has been contacted Blitz RC Works for warranty? I tried to manage the case directly with Banana Hobby and they dont do anything. The support team doesnt know anything about helicopters and always says that the problem is the battery. In addition helicopter creators, Blitz RC Works have a web page that appears in blank. How can I reach them?

  • dont bother trying you got got. these guys suck as a co .. look at the co reviews before you buy save your $ and time and stress

  • hi can anyone tell me if these parts like the blades are compatible with any other helicoptors thanks

  • i can't wait for mine to arive! its my first helicoptor hope im ok with it!

  • @brettbain1

    Good luck then rofl :D

  • I saw this heli (and Pete) at the RCX in Pomona, CA. Looks sweet!

  • hi has anyone got this heli and how good is it.

  • hi has anyone got one of these. and how good are they

  • is this a good outdoor helicopter i might buy it if it is

  • Anyone own this heli yet?

  • Where is Bananahobby based out of? How much is a helicopter like that going to set me back? Is it beginner friendly?

  • @PLSecrist

    No no beginner helicopter, its a 3d CPPM helicopter, get a fixed pitch or a sim to try first.

    1 crash and allmost the whole head will need replacement. and reconfiguration.

    NO BEGINNER HELICOPTER!

    BTW, read some reviews, these guys dont seem to be that customer orientated

  • nice wish i could fly mine. i moved to cars!

  • Dam, I just got dizzy

  • where can i buy that helicopter here in US?.....

  • Lovely Helicopter and Brilliant Flying Pete!

  • Thanks!!

  • 2:16 : lol, your a beauti

  • LOL!  Thanks!

  • whats the length on the main blades? Thanks.

  • I will have to get back to you.

  • what is better a airplane a car or heli

    also can you make a sea plane fast as a jet or sport plane

  • It depends on your preference and skill level. I tried a plane but i could never get it to fly and broke after trying several times. I switched to Helis because i seem to have more success with them. as far as deciding between cars and helis/planes that is all about preference

  • hey pete,are you teasing us with that tail servo,because like iv been told SOOOOO many times to put it on the left side because if you crash"thats going to happen eventually"it will smack your tail servo and you be like"DAMN" and you will be like time for a new servo ^-^

  • LOL! The tail servo side is up to you. The area mounted can be subjected to the main blades usually. I am just very use to it being on the right side.

  • cool,i was just saying that,because many people have been giving me many dirty looks about my servos,and Try to give me advice,and i love advice,but not with a soda, fries, and the the 3 pound sandwich of bad looks. I appreciate your reply XD

  • is this going to be cheaper than the 250 t-rex heli and will you have parts supply on hand

  • Yes it is much less expensive and it is a RTF package.

  • What's going to be the price for one of these?

  • if you really wanna beef up your order then about 400$ plus shipping

  • I can't post it here.  Please check our website. Thanks!

  • the only problem is how would i get extra parts?

  • You can visit our site. We will have the parts in stock in a week. Thanks!

  • heyy is there a way to get 1?

  • any other color?

  • Not at this time. We are working on a few canopy variations.

  • hey pete is it true can beginners fly this cause my friend wants one

  • well, looks good but trex 250 is ofcourse better

  • I would not say better. They are different and in completely different price brackets. A Trex 250 will be over about 1000.00 by the time you purchase all the pieces need to be flying.

  • pete, we need spare parts, or canwe use t-rex 250 parts like blade and things?

  • dude what are you talking about? its about $400 for the super combo and $180 for a dx6i. how you come up with $1000?

  • hey pete is it easy for a 14yr. old kid to dly this heli thats only experience is micro elevator heli rc toys

  • i would suggest a co-axial heli. Much more stable

  • no thanks co-axials are so sluggish

  • You will learn nothing on a coaxial . Been there done that

  • no its not it can only flown by experienced pilots this is for novince to experts alike and it can even do 3d maneuvers plus its probably smaller and stable plus this is rtf and much more cheap

  • sounds cool

  • Thanks!

  • looks like an exact clone of the trex 250

  • Nope, completely different than the Trex 250. Everything is different down to the servo layout.

  • belt driven? at 7:50 you see that the main rotor is spinning but the tail rotor doesn't?

  • thats because the motor was stopped

  • oh yes i see! thx

  • Correct! Thanks!

  • The tail rotor is belt driven. The reason it stops spinning is because once the throttle power is removed, the tail rotor free spins. It is the most efficient method for such a small helicopter.

  • how much is this

  • Come see it on our site!

  • it doesnt work

  • nice flight and very good camera operator

  • Thanks for the comment!

  • Cool so it's called the Atom 250, very fitting.

  • Thanks!!

  • How good is this at hovering & how windy was it when you were flying?

  • It is a very stable little helicopter. The wind was blowing about 7mph that day.

  • are u using your own transmitter? This is the most beautiful helicopter ill ever seen in years!!!

  • Thanks for the comment! Yes It is a prototype so I did use my own transmitter.

  • It's awesome Pete, May I know What's the Heli "package includes'? B4 I make the order, I also consider Trex250 & Gaui Hurricane 200 V2 Flybarless. Yours is RTF and good price..

  • Thanks for the comment! This package is ready to fly with everything included. I have a Trex 250 myself and by the time you get that flying, it is about $700 bucks!

  • are u guys american?

  • Thanks friend!

  • awesome flys like a bird please subscribe ..!!!..

  • Where is this field? Is his near Pasadena? Do they require AMA membership to fly?

  • This field is just a spot where I go once in a while to do some testing. It is not an AMA sanctioned field.

  • looks nice, which one is better. this one or the t-rex 250?

  • They both fly differently. I have both and this seems to be a bit lighter and faster. Both are awesome aerobatic and very stable helicopters.

  • when will this be out?

  • It will be available in 3 weeks! In production now! Thanks!

  • hehe the music is good at the vid at 0:56 and 1:04 :)

  • Thanks!!

  • I like Switchfoot too

  • Banana hobby sucks.... no offense... Why?

    Cause i bought a produce, and on the site it said it was available, and then after 4 days, i check up with them, they tell me its out of stock. They dont message me, or even call me. And this happened to me TWICE!

  • I apologize about that. We actually don't suck. Our site automatically sends out an email to you when an item is out of stock. You need to check your security settings or mail settings to make sure it did not get routed to your spam folder. If you had or have any questions, you can always message me here directly and I can check on an order or inventory for you.

  • Maybe next time you shouldnt order "produce" from a hobby shop.

    Just because their name is Banana doesnt mean they sell them!

    BOOOYAH!

  • This needs to be back in stock soon!

    What kind of 2.4Ghz transmitter comes with this RTF kit? The webpage doesn't mention it.

    I want to get to a bigger counterpart to my Walkera 4G3 CCPM. This could be a likely candidate if it comes with a good 2.4GHz radio system!

  • We are working on it and it should be here shortly! The 2.4ghz transmitter has an LCD screen. It is a CCPM selectable transmitter. Works really nice with the helicopter.

  • I'm drooling!! Too bad they don't take walk-in purchases as I'm in S Pasadena

  • We will in about 2 weeks! Let me know and you can come by!

  • Awesome!

  • So, you guys open now for walk-ins?

  • We will be in about 1 month!

  • so, you guys have a shop now?

  • Not yet. it is in progress! Coming soon!

  • wow the prototype is already sold out on the site!

  • It will be in stock soon!

  • kk thanks! ill keep checking in to see! :)

  • whats that song at the begining called?

  • Let me check for you.

  • what's up with banana hobby. I live in pennsylvania and i was talking to a guy at the flying club. he said he ordered some stuff and it hadnt been delivered, he called customer service for a couple days and couldnt reach anyone on the phone.

  • Sorry about that! I have been attending the AMA Convention. Please have him message me! Thanks!

  • Thanks, I talked to him and he said he got his order. thanks for the reply.

  • If i am a beginner and want to be between the 300-320 prise range which one should i get the tornadoe or this prototype for the money?

  • I would say the Tornado. It is a more beginner friendly helicopter. Thanks!

  • I want one of this!!!!, please post when you have it. By the way, I bought a Tornado 3D with you, I hope arrives to me soon!

  • Thanks!

  • Pete, Any new developments for this model?? gotta name yet?? When can I get me mitts on one!

    I hope your not teasing me :O)

  • Thanks for the comment! They are in production now! Will keep you all posted!

  • Love your work!

    Hey could you tell me when more are going to be avail.? you guys still sold out??

  • Thank you! They are in production now. Should be here for retail in about 1 month or less!

  • i think my wallet is going to be hurting soon.. i have to have one!

  • I know how you feel!

  • Nice Video!!!!! Keep it up!!!!! =)

  • Thanks for the comment!

  • looks soooo good

  • Thanks!!

  • Any idea yet on how much it will cost?

    Will you be selling the kit - less electronics?

  • It's going to be around $300 Ready to Fly. We will be offering it less radio as well!

  • I'm so glad you guys are also going to offer it less the radio since I plan on getting the Tornado 3D which already comes with a 2.4GHz radio. Lets me save a little money in these tough economic times.

  • Nice helicopter, but it is not a Palm Size by the definition established by MIA Micro-FLIGHT who owns the trademark Palm-Size (TM) in regards to RC helicotpers, and as referred to helis that fit completely in the palm of an everage person's hand. Check out MIA Micro-FLIGHT site for the real palm size helicopters.

  • Who cares? You can't patent a definition anyway stupid. Regardless BH also sells the Walkera 4#3b.

    v=I54U97MaV8c

  • Thanks for the clarified info!

  • Pete, you got a nice helicopter there, just don't call it palm size because it is not. Good luck with sales!

  • Ya I got that. Unfortunately I can not re edit the video. It was considered palm sized to me because I flew her and do the testing. It fit into my palm so I called it palm size.  I didn't know you can copyright palm size.

  • Dude MIA, I was considering buyin supplies from you, but after your comment in regards to "Palm Size"...I don't think so

  • rhoe, I read that comment "MIA" made too, I agree, that guy is stuk on himself.

    Hey Pete, Just as long as you have them ready by the spring of 09' when all our snow melts!

    Enjoy the California Sun my friend :O)

  • Genius250? The newest Art-Tech model?

    Can you see photos in Art-Tech Website!

  • It is not the Stock Genius. I am taking what has been developed and trying for a better 250. That is why I am doing revisions currently. The Genius is not available as of yet.
