$1799? Dude, buy a Steam AK700 or Goosky RS7 and outfit it the way you want for a little more.
What’s the suggested timer (mins) for a full battery
Where are the trim switches?
Awesome build vids on the RS4 Jeff. Quick question... When using a direct drive motor, can you run the governor in the esc? Or do you have to run the governor in the flybarless unit?
How do you reset your servo to factory?
Thank you for this perfect comparison. I have M1 from OMP and think about M2. After that video I will think about S2 :-).
Hi. At 6:45 on the video the rotor head was spinning very slow. Is that possible with this heli? I like to start my heli very slow head speed during start up to make it scale like. Is it possible with this heli? At 6:45 in the video was the main blades really spinning very slow like a scale heli would start up? Thanks again for your review. I will buy this heli if it does. Most small heli have an abrupt start and for me I don’t like. I know it does not affect most people but I’m really into scale like start up with heli and scale like flying take off and landing. Please tell me so I can make a decision. Planning also to get the Futaba 16IZS to go with it.
This was really cool. I hope to meet Tareq one day too.
👍
Hi Jeff! thanks for the great video! I have made a factory reset on my S1 and now I cannot have the original settings as the reset made everything to mid setting. Could you let me know the values for the first page of the app? thanks!
Ha. Just got my first 5 or so flights on beginner collective pitch helis and I was expecting your maiden to do some figure 8s or so (never seen you fly before) and was blown away. Awesome skills, awesome sound
Cool I am looking at this heli when I step up out of the 400 class. How would you compare it to the competition in this 500-600 class?
Well for starters it is a well built and robust heli! I’d even say it’s the perfect heli when stepping up from a 400 size. And when compared to the competition in this size range… I feel it’s the best flying and feeling tail at all rpm ranges that I’ve flown. Also the rotor head has diversity with both dampening and geometry(from beginner to advanced) out the box and that’s a huge plus. But on a personal note… it is probably the only 550 size heli with the most beautiful aesthetics and lines. All that combined… it becomes difficult to not have one in your fleet. 🙌🏻
@@hermanquinones Excellent! Will look to get one by Christmas!
**Update** Manual was finalized/updated during this build. I made mention of the Main Rotor RPM range I was trying to achieve. And that RPM has now been adjusted a bit. It is now slightly less than what was originally recommended on the upper range. After updated info I ended up using 2200/2400/2600 but that’s all preference and what you feel most comfortable with. Enjoy and happy building!
GOOSKY has them beat. Cheaper as well.
WAIT!!! Let me guess.... RTF. $4500.00
No:)

Love rc. Just look how many nationality it brings together. Truly amazing. Congratulations goosky you all make one hell of a rc helicopter
Great vid thank you, that canopy is huge!
Super job sir. If possible maybe you could do a short video on the spirit gps geolink setup. TIA
Hello Nick. Thank you for another very informative video. Considering that the shaft and radial bearings will eventually be subject to maintenance and or replacement, I question the wisdom of using bearing retainer on either the outer race of the bearing (contact surface between motor stator and outer race of the bearing) and/or the inner race of the bearing (contact surface between the inner race of the bearing against shaft). It looks to me the radial bearings were press fit onto the stator without any bearing retainer from the factory and the factory did not use bearing retainer between the inner race of the bearing and the shaft either to begin with. I understand the bearing retainer would prevent any potential runout or uncoupling between the bearing races against the motor stator and the shaft surfaces, but I question the necessity of using this bearing retainer especially since the factory does not seem to use it to begin with, and the negative consequences when it comes to maintenance and bearing replacement in the future. Your thoughts?
90% of people don't buy these for 3D flight. Most of your videos are for well experienced pilots. You just need a few for the idiot beginner.
I hear you!:)
Hey that look fabulous I have ordered mine getting it at the end of August, here in the UK ,great video ,quick question. I’m looking to get a egodrift which one did you put on your model? Be good to know, thanks for the video JW.
How to configure the T8 control on this helicopter? my t8 can't bind on this goosky S1 model If anyone knows, please send me step by step instructions so I can get him to respond to the control, please?
Turn on the T8 transmitter. Plug the battery into the Goosky S1. From 1 meter away or less, click the bind button 3 times on the Goosky S1 Flight Controller. You will see it flashing rapidly. Once it's fully bound you will see 2 lights, one solid, and the other blinking slowly. You will also see the blades twist and raise up and down a few times while it's setting itself while binding. Now it's bound and ready to fly. You will NOT have to do this again. You will simply plug in the battery to the S1, turn on the T8 transmitter, it will search and find the Goosky S1 by itself, do the twists, raise up and down again, and you're ready to fly again. MAKE SURE YOU ARE ON A FLAT AND LEVEL SURFACE BEFORE BINDING, AS WELL AS EACH TIME YOU TAKE IT OUT FOR A FLIGHT. If it's on any type of an angle, when you turn on that transmitter, and plug the battery in on an un-even surface, it will calibrate it thinking it's straight and level, while really having it at an angle, will make the heli have trouble when you set it on a perfectly flat surface you plan to launch from. This will cause horrible drift as well as control problems, so ALWAYS turn the radio on, and power up the S1, on a flat and level surface before flight.

Wow I have seen you in years bro
great video and presentation....looks like a nice heli
Im loading up my shopping cart as I watch this. IRCHA sales weekend! Thanks for the build. I am going a different route... TORQ BLS0705M Mini HV Brushless for tail and Torq BLS0808 Brushless Micro HV for cyclic. For the ESC I choose HobbyWing Platinum 80A V5. And the even bigger plunge... Im adding a RadioMaster Ranger to my Tx16S 4-1 so I can go with a Nexus FC and RP3H receiver! Wasn't against going with the full Goosky PNP kit, but tbh I was a bit leary with doing so just based on all the rough patches I've had with my S1 and S2 gyro/servo settings. I could have a totally awesome stable flight, then change the battery and its wobbling and drifting hard the next. To many times I have to re-calibrate the Gyro when I should be focused on trying to learn to fly. I really find Goosky amazing with their engineering documentation, parts and support...but horrifyingly lacking with their software documentation and support. Going with their branded 'reasonably good' avionics for the beginner to intermediate is a generous claim. I dont mind something that has a lot of hands on learning if its documented, but Goosky really does a terrible job with communication/support and an amazing job of fabrication/supply. My big beef is most knowledge comes from community support and it really should be a manufacturer led effort. They are making money for sure, these are amazing beginner helicopters and I'm sure sales are strong! They need to do better. Anyways, I will update you on my Nexus Journey, thanks again Jeff!
Nano is the daddy 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Excellent unboxing, however the heli is waaaay to cookie cutter.
Whats the difference between the Spektrum fc6250hx and the new fc6350hx?
Same software as 6250hx but in a full metal case.
Great video! I just can't see spending 1500 bucks on a Blade helicopter when there are so many better options out there. But hey, the kit looks really nice. They have come a long way. Cheers!
The very first thing I said when I saw this come out. I will be glad to see the build videos and flight videos from regular people. I just can't get the bad taste out my mouth. That thin tail boom is sketchy as well.
As a Blade 700X owner, I would worry about HH ditching support for this in 2025 ....
@@tomatwaldenAs a Blade fusion owner, not at all worried about them discontinuing this. It has been here since 2018.
@@corykelson Glad your experience in this respect was better than mine and anybody who bought the original "Pro line". When you say "Blade Fusion", that covers quite a few helis however (from the Fusion 180 through to the 420). Blade always had better sales figures for the smaller BNF/pre-built helis. When it came to competing against Align/SAB/Tron/Mikado etc in the more "Pro" market (550, 600, 700+ sizes in kit-only form), Blade didn't bring either enough innovation nor price differential. That's why the Pro line failed, it had nothing to sway people away from established manufacturers in this sector. Unless this new effort at 700 kit-based models brings that difference, I fear sales of this 700 will be as disappointing as their original 700X. If the sales don't match expectations, don't assume Blade will continue to commit spend to manufacturing the parts would be my observation.
@@tomatwaldenYeah, Blade just couldn't compete in the market back then unfortunately. I think what is different now is that Blade has slowly inched their way in by putting better quality kits out slowly. They didn't just release another 700 out of nowhere. The 480/550 stretch has sold well from day one and there is a bigger fan base to sell a 700 to now. This new combo is in line with new Align combos pricewise. But with a newer modern day fbl with reciever unlike align with that decade old microbeast. If this 700 is anything like the fusion 550, it will be a very robust, reliable and great performing helicopter. It's simple. And it works. I actually like that they are not trying to copy what all the other manufacturers are doing. But my experience with Blade is clearly different than yours and I understand why you feel like you do towards them.
I wasn’t sure if this video was going to be work safe!! Great opening. Thank you for the smile.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thats awesome
i can tell that the main blades are from RT .. but great video as always from heli direct!! Horizon surprised us

a 4735 size motor! damn! also the tail looks like a slim jim when compared to other helis with thicker booms.
@ Mike.. a few years ago and now are 2 different times
Thanks HeliDirect for the professional unboxing. The video was well done.
😂 sounds like he recorded this in a bathroom
Did Blade do this a few years back with a 700 size that turned out to be an epic failure
Yes, but this looks like a Align style kit, who knows...
They did. It wasn’t really what I’d call an epic failure though. The heli was pretty decent. Their sales were low because they had a reputation for making crappy micro helis and they were going up against some real heavy-hitters in the big heli game. But before they had time for word to spread and people to Guinea pig them, new ownership over the corp dictated that it be ditched. Didn’t really give it a chance. So maybe that’s a failure. But more of a money hungry tyrant issue than a bad heli issue.
Nice combo 💯
Bad sound
IF YOU HAVE massive tail wag dont worry just hang iy up for 5 years like i did . wow my local POT SHOP has way better CUSTOMER SERVICE than ALIGN could DREAM OF

Thank you! Please tell your friends:) we have new videos coming out every Friday
tareq is insanely precise but the technology in this machine also helps! amazing stuff. he gotta be the best pilot in the world, i mean, c'mon...
I think Tareq would agree that "the best pilot in the world" is a pretty subjective thing. His style is certainly unique, essentially just painting interesting shapes in the sky with the model. There are several other pilots I prefer, but of course I'm barely good enough to slow their flights down and begin to imagine the stick movements. In any case, at their level I think "the best" is meaningless. It isn't like there can be an objective measure. There are a dozen pilots that are god-like, and they are all so distinct.
The best helicopter in the world
Question: Did you have to shorten the motor shaft?
HeliDirect, you are the best
