Pre ordered day 1, will love this for yard bashing. I learned a lot of my 3D skills from the original 230 and now I can fly my ilGoblin Pro KSE as hard as possible because of it. I also own almost every blade heli made since then.

Thank you for this! Been a blade fan since 2013, I may have to return to my roots and get this one, I did love my 230 S a lot and it taught me so much.

I saw the launch of the Blade 235 CP, but I’d like to know if the tail issue has been resolved. I have the Blade 230 S Smart, and it never flies well; it has a chronic tail problem with wag, and also, when it rotates clockwise, the tail has a terrible stop, overshooting the stopping point. If the 235 still has the same issue, it’s not worth buying.

Can you make repair videos for the 235 CP. Broke the main gear and bent the tail boom on the second take off

4:43. Talking about the CG...Well, I guess I threw that all off as I ended up changing the battery connector, and using a 1300 Mah Spektrum G2 smart battery. I get nice loooong flights now. I don't do any 3-D stuff, just scale like flying around. There's tons of room under that big canopy for it, although it is a little tight.
I'd be curious to see how this heli does. I've had hit n miss with good flying Blade helis over the past couple years. Soon Horizon, you guys are gonna need to step it up with blu tooth and apps for tuning. That forward programming is exhausting! My Blade 230 S Smart tends to want to pull to one side more and more as the flight goes on. Starts out with a perfect hover, then starts to wanna wander. Gets progressively worse and worse till I have to land as I have no more left cyclic to give it! A couple of my Blades do this. :(
Others however, fly REALLY NICELY!! I love both my Infusions!

I just got mine on Saturday. But one issue is the manual for DX shows on the mixing section to select for the second INH and select A5??? I dont see a A5 on my radio.

Hi i have just purchased the 235 and i noticed when flying straight out of the box, that the tail seems to wag / hunt, for 1 - 2 seconds the tail wags left to right whilst in a hoover, the heli is just out the box, no mods etc, the heli was in safe mode and hoovered approx 5 feet up, wind approx 5 - 7 mph. Please advise is this wagging of the tail - standard for this heli, should i take any action ? I have not taken / or adjusted the heli in any way. Many thanks

Many good improvements but why have a main gear? Direct drive is more forgiving, especially for beginners who crash often.

WHY DO YOU HAVE AN AD PLACED IN THIS VIDEO? THIS VIDEO IS JUST ONE GIANT AD ANYWAY FOR A HELI NOBODY ASKED FOR. WAY BETTER OPTIONS.

[johncgibson]

I have been FPV flying my fusion 180 at 250 grams takeoff, no FAA registration and with Walksnail. I have to modify it to direct drive to minimize labor with frequent FPV crash landings. I hope FPV helicopter with direct drive can be the focus of the Blade series.

When is it going to be available to buy?

[NaturebyGus]

Guys you really need to update the canopy to avoid the removal in order to install or replace the batteries. What a nuisance! compared with other helicopters such as the Goosky where no removal of the canopy is needed. Secondly, so absurd that all other manufacturers are moving to direct drive and you guys are stuck in time with gear drive. Also, any updates of the Nano S3? Wishlist for the new one: Better battery connector (such as the PH2.0) and brushless motor.

[jeffrenman]

Basically you just fixed the helicopter because the 230 was designed incorrectly. All you've done is make a normal helicopter.

[fklotaloi]

Who's gonna buy this heli with a " main gear" in these days, what a terrible product!!!! 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶

[davidrivero]

Update, more modern, better electronics they claim & still 20th Century gear driven . Way to go, Blades. NOT.
