Eachine E160 Review – Impressive Brushless Tail Hold & Performance
Detailed Eachine E160 review including test flight with three different setups (tame, sport, 3D). The E160 is a great flying little collective pitch RC helicopter to suit all flying styles. It’s powerful enough for heart pounding 3D, or can be tamed right down for nice gentle scale type flying. Flybarless stabilization performance is impressive with a fluid and precise feel.
If you are torn between the XK K130 vs the Eachine E160, the E160 is not much more money, however, it’s a much better value as it improves on the shortcomings of the K130.
The single biggest performance improvement is in tail hold & authority thanks to a proper direct drive brushless tail rotor motor. It’s all but impossible to get the tail to blow out on the Eachine E160, even when trying. Brushless tail motors also last much longer than brushed coreless tail motors.
Other E160 improvements include a stronger and better cooled main brushless motor, longer flight times with slightly larger capacity LiPo & better power efficiency, metal geared swashplate servos & stronger landing struts. Some will find the E160’s canopy graphics easier to see which is always a welcome feature on any small micro collective pitch RC helicopter.
Out of the box, the Eachine E160 3D RC Helicopter is Futaba S-FHSS protocol ready, but provides receiver compatibility with Spektrum DSM, S-Bus, and PPM.
If you are looking for a reasonably priced, capable little collective pitch RC helicopter to fly & practice with in your yard, the E160 should definitely be on your short list of micro 3D collective pitch RC helicopters to check out.

OMPHobby M1 Review – Amazingly Fun Micro 3D Helicopter With Direct Drive Performance.
The OMPHobby M1 is a 130 size micro 3D RC helicopter with predictable and fluid flight characteristics that will not disappoint.
Regardless of your flying style, from tame to insane, this little micro collective pitch RC helicopter will do it all well. The M1 is the smoothest flying 130 size RC helicopters I’ve ever flown!
The M1, just like the M2 uses a low speed, high torque large diameter direct drive brushless main motor instead of a less expensive smaller high speed, low torque motor with pinion and main gear. This is the biggest difference between it and every other micro heli in this size segment currently on the market.
A direct drive brushless main motor is a more expensive way to run the main rotor, but it has so 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!
Combining a powerful direct drive tail motor to the mix which gives class leading tail lock & authority, along with an outstanding design & bright easy to see canopy graphics simply makes the OMPHobby M1 a joy to own & pilot. This is what RC helicopter fun is all about.

Raw Performance: Heli-Max RC UH-1D Huey RTF
http://www.helimax-rc.com/helis/novus/hmxe0808-novus-huey/index.html
With functioning navigation lights, a detailed cockpit, panel lines and scale trim scheme and jet exhaust locations, the Novus UH-1D has everything you would find on a full-size Huey — right down to the rivets. A heading hold gyro and coaxial design make this palm-sized heli incredibly easy to fly.
• Comes complete with radio, two LiPo batteries, charger and extra blades
• Besides interference-free control, the 2.4GHz radio system also features dual rates — a single switch lets you go from smooth, stable flight at low rates to maximum maneuverability at high rates
• Small enough to fly in any room, while capable of being flown outdoors in calm conditions
• Just add AA batteries, charge the included LiPo packs and fly!

Raw Performance: Heli-Max® Novus™ 200 FP EP 2.4GHz RTF
The Novus 200 FP is the largest Novus heli yet, with a fixed-pitch design for first-class control. Its 45° offset flybar set-up results in control that is far more responsive and stable than a coaxial design. Even beginners can fly the Novus 200 FP with success! A 2.4GHz 4-channel computer radio system with dual rates allows pilots to start off slow and step up to their full flight potential. The included 7.4V 1000mAh LiPo battery provides plenty of power. Other extras, like an anodized aluminum rotor head, a printed canopy and pivoting main blades, add lasting looks and durability.
