Unboxing my new Esky E500 w/flight right out of the box

@denzel387

Hi Denzel.....well.... Esky calls it the E500 but I believe that it is the MD body style that you'll find on real helicopters. You'll find it under MD500 with other manufactures like Art Tech. According to Wikipedia, The MD 500 was developed from the Hughes 500, a civilian version of the US Army's OH-6A Cayuse/Loach.

thanks for the video, might want to buy the same one

why did you get the extended inner shaft and sprocket? what does it do?

[primalspy]

@JarlSX

Hey Jarl...extending the inner-shaft prevents the top & bottom blades from striking against eachother. I haven't had a blade strike yet, no matter how hard I am on the sticks. I only purchased the white Xtreme sprocket because it's made to fit the Xtreme brand inner-shaft but I think that stock should fit as well.

I love this helicopter. It's pretty durable. I crashed many times, usually in tall grass, & have only had to replace blades. Get it! Take care!

the tail rotor isnt moving?????

[primalspy]

@winespiller

No..the tail rotor is not motorized. It will move when the wind blows though. This is a co-axial helicopter so it doesn't rely on the tail rotor to stabilize it.

@Haliparotzkie Thanks for the comment! All it's missing are some navigation lights. Just checked out your channel & your Big Lama is way cool! Nice lights! That's what I want to do next because I light to fly at dusk & it gets hard to tell which way it's facing.

@primalspy Thanks.
