Eachine E180 Direct Drive RC Helicopter Review – The Good & Bad.
The Eachine E180, is Eachine’s first direct drive collective pitch helicopter. It’s a 200 size class machine that competes directly with the OMPHobby M2.
A direct drive brushless main motor is a more expensive way to run the main rotor, but it has many advantages… Efficient, quiet, powerful, operates nice & cool (longer motor & bearing life), is way more robust and reduces the parts count. It also looks great!
During my in depth review of the E180 from unboxing to test flying, I’m pointing out all the features the E180 has to offer, what it gets right & wrong, along with my primary setup numbers for my flights modes.
The E180 has a good design but it’s not perfect. Mine also had a couple important factory assembly issues. They were easily rectified, and have been reported back to Eachine. Banggood has reassured me this was a rare case due to it being a “test review” unit that was not inspected by them before direct shipping from the factory. Regardless, any pre-built RC helicopter no matter what brand or model should be checked over. You will almost always find something not assembled with the care we as collective pitch RC helicopter hobbyists’ would take the time to do.
The E180 comes in two formats, BNF & RTF. I got the RTF version which comes with Eachine’s E6, six channel entry level computerized radio which uses Futaba’s S-FHSS protocol. The BNF version will therefore bind out of the box to any 6 channel or more computerized S-FHSS protocol radio.
The E180’s flight controller / FBL system also accepts an external DSM2/X satellite RX for Spektrum users as well as an S-Bus input port. Lots of receiver options in other words.
