Xheli's Esky 900 R/C helicopter's first 3D flying test with 14.4 v and 18.5 v battery!

This is an assembled "Bare Bones" Helicopter from Xheli.com. That means you must choose and buy your own RC equipment. I chose the Raiden 1620Kv motor for this machine. I must say, it is more than ample! If you use the same, make sure you know how to handle the power and not overdo it. Always searching for an electric helicopter with some weight and mass to handle our winds, I have begun exploring the 500 class helicopters. In this video, I give a look at the Esky 900 helicopter actually flying in those winds. The ES 900 is a fantastic flying machine, when set up with the pitch and throttle curves I developed on my test stand. I have videos on my test/training stand and how to make the pontoons. Search Stealth Helicopters and for NightFlyyer's Helicopter training/test stand to see my videos on the subject.

The Esky Helicopter feels good and solid for sure and I am quite impressed, since this helicopter only cost $139.

I used the 14.4 battery for the first test flight, and the 18.5 volt battery for the 3D flights.
I recommend the 14.4 battery, because it runs longer and the extra power of the 18.5 is not necessary, however I like the extra weight of the bigger battery. Also, you need a charger that can charge an 18.5 v, 3000 Ma, 5 cell LiPo, so that is a consideration.

I really like flying this heli, as it it really easy to see for this 62 year old's tired eyes, and handles the wind very well. I like the white wooden blades, and their sound. The blades have not gone out of track at all since I properly set up the servo travel, etc on my test stand, thus showing the high quality of the Esky 900. It is a vast improvement over what we had barely flying 35 years ago.

Make sure to subscribe to Rotory Modeler Magazine to see my Esky 900 Product review and with the great still pictures, Ilea took.

Congratutations Esky, this is a winner.
