Walkera 5G6 discussion/ review                    

This little helicopter is my 1st co-axial helicopter. I purchased the Walkera 5G6 with metal rotor head and the 2.4G transmitter. It is a bit a lot more pricey than the normal Walkera 5G6 with plastic rotor head and typical 35 or 72 MHz transmitter. The Walkera 5G6 is the very same size as the Walkera four#three. The only big difference is that the Walkera 5G6 have two counter rotating principal rotor blades, and no tail rotor. In comparison to the Walkera 4#three, the Walkera 5G6 weighs 53g, somewhat heavier due to the further principal motor.

As I mentioned in my Walkera four#3 critique, Walkera’s designing engineers have done it again to place a exceptional little helicopter (the Walkera 5G6) out there for every person to get pleasure from. This tiny helicopter will astonish you with its straightforward to fly and secure flight qualities.

Specialized and planning critique

The Walkera Dragonfly 5G6 (two.4GHz) 4CH PPM RC Helicopter RTF w/ Alloy Metal Rotor Head, is a more powerful helicopter in contrast to the normal Walkera 5G6, and the two.4GHz transmitter provides you peace of mind with robust anti-interference and no glitches.

Let’s start off with the main rotors. On the top rated of the major rotor method, a metal flybar runs by means of the primary shaft with flybar blocks on every single suggestion. The flybar blocks are small weights that give the Walkera 5G6 its exceptional balance. The flybar is connected with the higher principal rotor with 1 linkage. This linkage can be adjusted if the monitoring of the primary rotor blades is out. The upper rotor blade rotates clockwise see from the top and it is shaft runs inside the bottom rotor shaft. Equally higher and decrease rotor blades have metal blade holders.

The rotor blades are produced from strong long lasting plastic. The bottom rotor blade rotates counter clockwise seen from the best. Due to the counter rotating rotor system of the Walkera 5G6, torque is cancelled out and there is no will need for a tail rotor. The swashplate is located below the bottom principal rotor and is connected via two linkages to the bottom rotor blade holder.

The Walkera 5G6 have a 90º metal swashplate that is linked to the aileron and elevator servos with adjustable linkages. The 3.5g servos are prompt in response with control inputs. The elevator and aileron servos are located powering the principal shaft. The servos just clips into place on the major frame which make substitute very straightforward if essential.The Walkera 5G6 have two brushed motors with strong magnets. A single motor drives the reduce primary rotor and the 2nd a single the upper principal rotor.

The Walkera 5G6 have a 4-channel receiver (elevator, aileron, rudder and throttle). The gyro and speed controller is construct into the receiver. The gyro sensitivity can be adjusted to suite your flying expertise. The servo extent can also be adjusted on the receiver.

The Li-Po (3.7V 400mAh) battery of the Walkera 5G6 gives about eight-ten minutes of flight time. It simply slides into the battery body, which make battery changes very easy.The landing skids are created of really skinny spring steel, and though they are extremely light, I believe that they will handle difficult landings with ease with out breaking.

The tail boom is produced out of plastic and has a small tail rotor only for the show. Due to the counter rotating principal rotor blade, torque is cancelled out so there is no will need for a genuine tail rotor to counteract torque. Overall the Walkera 5G6 have 3 substantial good quality ball bearings to make sure smooth operating on all relocating components.

The Walkera 5G6 comes with a Li-Po battery charger. A red light will be on throughout charging, and a green light will flash soon after charging is full. It will just take approximately 40-sixty minutes for the Li-Po to be fully charged right after flight.

Setup: The Walkera 5G6 is a all set to fly out of the box helicopter. No assembling necessary. Do an general check out for any lose parts prior to your initial flight. You need to charge the Li-Po battery of the helicopter, and for the transmitter, you need eight AA batteries. They are not provided with the Walkera 5G6 kit.

Flight overall performance

Get treatment on you 1st flight. Don’t presume that the helicopter is trimmed correctly. Hover very first and trim the helicopter so that it hovers even now in 1 spot devoid of any input from the elevator, rudder and aileron stickers on the transmitter.

The 1st point that I have discovered was the remarkable stability of the Walkera 5G6 in the course of flight. If the helicopter is properly trimmed out, you can actually get rid of your fingers from the controls and the helicopter will hover happily in one spot. Rudder inputs are extremely responsive, and gyro sensitivity can be adjusted for quicker response if needed.

I identified the elevator and aileron responses to be a bit sluggish at first, but have adjusted the servo lengthen to give a lot more cyclic motion. To go forward you actually have to give a honest amount of down elevator, but that is standard to coaxial helicopters. Like clever flying backwards, left and appropriate. You ought to keep in mind that these little helicopters are quite secure, that’s why you need lots of cyclic inputs to modify route, other than rudder.

Hovering the Walkera 5G6 is very easy. That is why I can very recommend the Walkera 5G6 for anybody starting up r/c helicopter flying. If you are hunting for a great small helicopter that you can fly in your property, this helicopter will do the trick. Due to its excellent stability you can land and fly the Walkera 5G6 in little areas. The Walkera 5G6 is quite silent during flight.

Reason to get the Walkera 5G6 (two.4GHz) 4CH PPM RC Helicopter RTF w/ Alloy Metal Rotor Head

The Walkera 5G6 is a outstanding steady small indoor helicopter.
It is really straightforward to fly which make it a great entry degree helicopter for beginners, or just for entertaining if you have earlier flying expertise.
The create in gyro is very powerful.
It can fly up, down, left appropriate, yaw left and appropriate and can hover still in midair.
It is low-cost to sustain.
The components are very easily obtainable.
The Walkera 5G6 is quite crash resistant.
Transition into ahead flight is very good.
It can be flown outside in zero wind conditions.
And it is not that high-priced to get.

Conclusion

If you want a truly tiny fixed pitch coaxial 4 channel helicopter, this minor Walkera 5G6 won’t disappoint you. I extremely suggest this new (2.4GHz) 4CH PPM RC Helicopter RTF w/ Alloy Metal Rotor Head addition from Walkera. If you are a newcomer or skilled R/C helicopter pilot, you will have a lot of enjoyable flying this small engineering marvel. Preserve in head that the Walkera 5G6 is an indoor heli only. For a number of bucks a lot more, I fairly go for the metal rotor head and 2.4GHz edition.

Wow… you will be surprised
