Very nice guys, thank you so much for this. Thanks for braving the cold to get this review in the can. You are absolutely right about use of rudder and yaw in this and you tackle it well. Loved the laid back tone of the video too. Great watch.

I have the earlier version of this model. I coupled slight aileron to the rudder made for more coordinated turns. Been building R|C autogyros for years.

Sounds interesting to fly, looks fun thou. Great landing 👍🏻

Love this model looks likes a lot of fun. Listening to the commentary it has a lot of helicopter traits. You are sort of correct in when to mentioned using opposite aileron on the turn with a helicopter. This technique is used mainly when hover taxing to keep the aircraft level. Flying at the speed Trevor was a helicopter would need 4 control inputs to maintain a steady level turn. You need to use collective to maintain altitude, Elevator to control speed and or help pull through the turn, aileron to bank the model and rudder to bring the nose around the turn. It is a very different way of flying. With practice you should be able to a stationary landing, an autorotation decent pulling back on the elevator to flair about a foot above ground to bleed off forward speed and gentle settle vertically. We bet you have so much fun with this half house to toward a proper helicopter. look forward to seeing how you progress. Your friend at Blades of Thunder wish you all at essential RC a very merry christmas and happy new year

[BillKisel]

Hi, just a quick thanks for your video on how to balance the blades. Having broken a few, i was surprised that they work ok after a hot glue and tape fix. Hovever they do need to be balanced afterwards and the video on your channel is excellent. A link from this video to that one would be really helpfull. Andy in uk.

Just assembled mine, thanks for the video!

[RCplamodel]

RC with great adventure, always good videos bro👍👍😃

[RobR]

Looks fun, I might get one and FPV it 😁

[andycraig]

Was thinking of buying myself one of these for christmas. Decided against it because there are no spare blades on website and no eta for them either. Such a shame. Andy in uk.

You would have thought being a gyro copter they could have moulded it like a gyro copter with a small pilot
Looks ridiculous

[VacuousCat]

Running loud motor vehicles outside of dedicated tracks are a sin.

[rcpilots]

It’s only fair to point out that this craft won’t suit every pilot. Out of 8 attempts, every single one ended in disaster for me. My bad 😢

[jamespan]

This plane is so stupid, I had to buy one.
