![XK K110 Mini Brushless 3D RTF Helicopter - Full Review - [Unboxing, Flight/CRASH Test, Pros & Cons]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/2tDORugdXEc/mqdefault.jpg)
Brian - the expo on this radio is the opposite of Spektrum. Negative is more expo and positive is less! So you actually made it more twitchy by going to 10 from negative 20. The radio has a manual that explains this, but you have to read it a few times.
I figured that out after I stopped filming!!! I was super weirded out...
Thanks for clarifying that, since I thought I was going nuts!
That manual is impossible - How did you do it?!?!? LOL ;)
Really though, I'm glad you pointed this out. I thought maybe I did something wrong.
@@BrianPhillipsRC I bought a few and practiced :) They are amazing helis and I really enjoy them. Low cost, easy to repair and great performance indoors and outdoors - and scale looking! I have been flying helis for along time and have 700 series that I fly in the summer, but these little birds do everything a 700 does, but in your kitchen LOL
EXACTLY!!! They are sooo cool. I wish I could have learned to fly on these :)
It will be great to get your opinion on that plane ,can’t wait
Sorry Ross, I think I've lost your first comment..."that plane"...which one were you referring too?
It was the. Carbon cub s+
Oh, I see. sorry about my confusion...
The carbon cub s+ is very cool, but it's a HUGE pain to get flying. The GPS system is complicated to setup, and it's soooooooo scary to be flying along, and hit the GEO-fence, and have the plane fly away, out of your control...luckily, the system seems to work, so hopefully the plane will be flying BACK to you, and not away from you..
...all that being said, she's a beauty, and flies WONDERFULLY!!!
That’s what I have heard about the gps system that’s why I was wondering if you had had any experience flying it to see how you handled the gps and set up and if you had any of the same problems as others or if they just read the manual
I can tell you that I DIDN'T read the manual, but that would have made it significantly easier....but not less frustrating, based on my past experience with Horizon Hobby manuals :) (They are some of the best in the industry, but still some of this stuff is pretty confusing)
Hello, awesome to see ya RC'n, awesome helicopter. Have a blessed day to you and your family. Thank you for your video keep flying you guys.
Thanks guys!
Brian, your videos are thoroughly informative and hilariously entertaining and your enthusiasm is infectious !! Whatever you do please don't change !!! I suspect your heli skills are better than you let on ! You were flying that helicopter indoors like it was nothing ! Most heli pilots , even some intermediate pilots wouldn't dare do that with the K-110. Anyway enjoyed it as usual !!!
Thanks David! I'm glad to hear the positive feedback! I kinda wish I had some more awesome projects going now, but with the house...you know, we gotta let that one take priority for a little while. It's gonna be awesome, and I really hope to make the channel a larger part of our lives when we get out there :)
Yeah Brian I understand totally !!@@BrianPhillipsRC
love the XK quads
oh no...do I need to get them now???!?!!?!? :)
Thanks for the detail. My indoor flying with that model produced a number of crashes that dropped the main transmission gear right off its spindle. I look forward to playing with the Transmitter settings you suggest. By the way, get one of the XK 100 quads to bind to your transmitter. It is a lot of fun and only 25 bucks. More fun to BNF than to fly with its RTF transmitter. Great vids.
I have a Futaba transmitter, and need to sit down and learn how to use it. I've just been preoccupied with other projects, and I've been so invested in Spectrum that I just don't want to have to learn anther protocol. I supposed you can appreciate this.
You’re going to need spare rotors, feathering shafts, tail booms, canopies and main gear and main shaft to keep on hand to get you back in the air. You’ll be surprised how quickly you can destroy a tail boom with these tiny things and all you can really do is replace them with a new one.
Fly it around in easy mode or safe mode until it’s second nature and then change your throttle and pitch curves to match those in 3D mode and then go back to flying it until it’s second nature and then switch to 3D mode.. I remember having to do a flip to prove to myself I was in 3D mode because I was so used to the middle stick zero. Use the Safe modes as a training tool to learn how to become super smooth with less and less expo and higher rates.
I like this one a lot, it’s got a lot on the Nano especially since this is Brushless.
I can't believe they do all this on 1S!!!
Brian Phillips it weighs almost nothing. Haha. Little bird is so much more forgiving when you slam it inverted into the ground than my bigger birds. Get a good five or six batteries so you can fly for a good 30 minutes or so including battery change time. This little Heli does so much you’re going to have a lot of fun with it.
It is pretty cool ;)
Nice one Brian
Thanks! I think this is another GREAT little XK, but they make me look like such an amateur ;)
Hey you have been doing a good job lately You have been doing Arrows stuff which is awesome. But I love when you are working with helis. To me that is the step above Planes. It is pure skill. You have to be fast on the sticks. Just keep up the good work this is really one of the best helis out there for the money..
Cool, thanks! Helis are harder in many ways, for sure!
I was about to get another v930 4ch & instead got this for the tx.,plesently surpriced in the diff.& got another one bnf. Outta 110 main rotor blades & installed two from the spare K123 & has hovered but too windy for weeks in Miami for further testing. Good stuff & it be nice to see more scale Helis from XK.
For sure! These XK heli's are really gorgeous!
You can also get one from Motion RC. That's where I got mine. Have yet to fly. They also have parts for them. Thanks for the help on the transmitter. I know I will have to tame it down a bit.
I realize this. Motion is a great company, but they didn't send the item to me, so I have to make right on my agreements with my supporters :)
@@BrianPhillipsRC I totally understand. Thanks for all the help you have given me. If I have a rc problem I always look at your videos for a solution.
It's my pleasure to help how I can, and we really appreciate you coming here with your questions. It's hilarious you should say that. When I go to the Hobbytown, here in Ankeny (city where I live) I'm always in there for like an hour to get a jar of testors paint, since I can't resist talking to the other customers...my wife HATES this - LOL!
P.S. Motion RC is a great company, I'd be honored to work with them too, at some point ;) I've gotten a few planes there, and their service is second to none (even better than Horizon Hobby, despite being a distributor, and not the manufacturer!!!)
Love your videos !! Your funny guy ,, i got 3 of those little helis ,,, they are a blast ,,,
Thanks! They are really good!
Never ever use TRIM on a Flybarless System. The FBL System is doing it for you, so if you are setting Trim on your Transmitter, you are acting against the FBL System. If you have problems with drifting, (a little drift is okay, it's a Helicopter not a Drone with GPS), do a Trim Flight as descript in the manual.
I've been able to trim the heli just fine, but I agree large trim adjustments would be an issue with the 3X/6G system
I got a RTF version, if you want to fly upside down with the stock TX, you have lower the gyro to 41% or lower, any higher, I couldn't flip the heli.
You can turn off the gyro but then it will be much hard to fly.
Even at 41% gyro, I thought it was harder to fly than my 500 to 700 size helis.
The flight controllers on some of these XK's are kinda touchy, but I'm no heli pilot.
Cracking review Brian,could the k110 be flown by somebody new to helicopter s.
Probably, but it would be a real butt clincher...
I suspect the K124 would be slightly easier, but still in the same "family" of toughness to fly. It's a breeze compared to the old days with collective pitch heli's with NO gyros, or auto leveling...both of which this heli has :)
Never use trim to adjust 6g... Try using the hover debug... Bye hovering the Heli adjust by itself :) to enable It, push the two sticks down ;) that Will adjust the gyro to a Nice 6g and perfect 3d
while in flight???
@@BrianPhillipsRC nope... On ground, push It down and the lights Will change... After change, take of and Just stay hovering and leveling... After stabilized, land and hold down sticks again, leds Will back to normal :)
@@BrianPhillipsRC czcams.com/video/SohgEa5Zwq8/video.html
Brian, Just to confirm, would the K110 BTF with stock receiver be compatible with an Spektrum DX6e transmitter? Thanks.
No, it will not be compatible with a DX6e transmitter. The DX6e transmitter uses DSM2 and DSMX, a type of transmission protocol.
There is an "Anylink" that can be purchased and installed to work with some competitive protocols, but I'm not an expert on it, but I believe it's supposed to support SLT (Tactics protocol) and some others...
Probably a better heli than the XK130, and has been around for a while.Some great reviews.
I like the little tame ones, since I need too much brain power to fly the "real" ones ;)
Hello Brian, I may get one of these XK 110 heli's BNF, at £58 a lot cheaper than my XK130 (although came with transmitter) How is your XK130 going,mine broke after about a week so really dissapointed with it, it was way to weak a heli.I could repair it, it needs a new mainboard I think, but just as economical to buy an XK110 and bind it to my X6 transmitter. How do you bind X6 to new heli, will it just bind up automatically ? like no secret buttons to push? Rob
Robert, I'm thinking you mean DX6...and if so, it wouldn't. The DX6 is DSMX or DSM2....while these little guys are running something else...many times Futaba FHSS...which is a totally different protocol. If you have a Jumper, you could probably do that...but I hate to say for sure, since I just don't actually know. Sorry Robert!
Hey Brian 👍🏻 I’ve just been trying to alter the pitch curve on the XK transmitter. I can only dial it down to zero, so how do you get negative pitch?
I'm sorry, but don't know how to do this.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Any chance you might find out & let me know buddy? Love your channel 🤩
Arrived 1 Hello Brian😉😉😉😁😁😁😁
Master - Welcome back!!! (But you never really left.....did you?)
When will you do a review of the carbon cub s+ ?
I'd like to do one, but I can't buy any planes this second. We're still getting BAD winter weather, here in Iowa, but we're also ALMOST done with our new house. When we get out there, the plane spigot will open up FULL BLAST !!!!!! ;)
Hey Brian, Martyn here again, another great video ✅👍🏻 Going back to our conversation about the K124...Coincidentally the expo settings are 1, 2 and 4 😆 I’m still struggling to work out what they correspond to. I was expecting to see 1, 2, 3 and 4 (Throttle, Yaw, Pitch & Roll) . So can you tell me what 1, 2 & 4 correspond to? Also, in this video you mentioned gyro twice but didn’t get round to it. I’m no expert so I need extra stability, should I dial the gyro up or down in value?? Thanks buddy! 🚁
Good questions, but sometimes when dealing with RTF aircraft, you have to guess and check. For example, the channel Numbers may be in some standard Futaba order, but I don't know it either, so I have to make a change, then check to see if it changes what I thought it changed.
As for the Gyro, typically the larger value means MORE stabilization, but some RTF's differ, so it's a lot like the channel numbering, you have to guess and check.
Sorry I don't recall these settings, and it's sometimes hard to follow along with more complex setup. I would highly encourage you to play with the settings, and see what you like. It's not a pass or fail sort of thing, it's a "Feel" kinda thing, so you'll have to kinda dial it in the way you like it. This is a bit of a pain, but you'll get used to it if you work with this aircraft a lot.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thanks Brian, I have come a long way thanks to your videos and by messing about LOL.
Just don’t want to smash it, it’s perfect for practicing skills indoors during lockdown in UK!
Today, even managed to fix a defect. The elevator servo was chattering because it was right up against the brushless motor!
Might post it, what d’you think? 👍🏻 Thanks again buddy! ✅
1 - Aileron (i.e. Mode 2...Right Stick...Left/Right) 2 - Elevator (i.e. Mode 2...Right Stick...Up/Down) 4 - Rudder (i.e. Mode 2...Left Stick...Left/Right)
@@hirc2007 Thanks I got there in the end! 👍🏻
Another thing I discovered is the expo on these helis are opposite to other manufacturers ie negative values increase! 🚁
Hi I was wondering how you set up your xk K123 I’m having trouble with mine the throttle goes all the way up to about 75% before it will lifts off the ground, wondering if you could help me how to set it up
thank you have a great day
Have you watched all the way through the video? I think I play with the Transmitter quite a bit.
I'm not a super heli expert, but want to help how I can.
Hi Brian -- I purchased the Phoenix V2 based on your experience and you mentioned you may create a video which adds stabilization to your build. You must be very busy with the new house, but I hope you might find time to publish a follow-up video on this. Thanks.
Bob, okay...great question. Here's what you can do right away....
My ASW28 videos show how to do this, only difference might be a servo needs to be reversed, but maybe not even that. I'll link to it here for you, but what I'd do is get one of THESE... amzn.to/2GTlQze ...and then follow this video series to see the setup. It will be exactly the same...
czcams.com/video/ui4-rFALQvg/video.html
(this is the video you want to watch...then some of the rest of the exhaustive build will show other tricks...BUT you want to see the radio setup..IE the Lemon-Rx 7 Channel with stabilization)
P.S. I will do loads more build and radio setup videos in the future, BUT for now, we are just SLAMMED with tons of real world issues, so I can't probably produce the video you want right at the moment...sorry about that Bob!
Thank you Brian for the quick response. I can relate to being slammed with other issues. I'll start reviewing the videos so I can order parts and get started. It'll be my first glider and I prefer having that extra level of safety while getting a feel for it. You do a great job and I enjoy your videos and appreciate your help. Similar to what I believe is your background, I was a member of a management team at one point in my career, responsible for 4 distribution centers. When we consolidated DCs and automated, we were slammed continuously keeping shipments on time. Good luck balancing your workload.
Thanks Bob! You'll love the Phoenix V2...it's a GREAT sail plane.
I stopped flying heli's and drones and started flying planes last March. No going back. Well, OK, once in a while.
I love flying planes, but the heli's are still fun when the weather is crap :)
Hey man great video very informative, I have a question I just got a k110 and I love it very easy to fly after adjusting the pitch and throttle curves except for one issue.. it pulls to the left in 6g mode even after calibrating it, do you know why it does that and how could I solve this problem??
Well, just try and trim it out with the control trims, if you can't trim it enough and it still pulls left, I would unscrew the aileron servo control horn, and move it slightly so it corrects the left pull until the heli flies neutral position. Simple.
Robert Kelly thanks for the reply man 👍 I actually got it flying pretty good now just used the trim on the remote
Sorry for the super slow reply - crazy busy week!!!
Hmmm, that’s a weird looking plane. Great video! Is there an estimate on the closing date for the new house so I know when to look forward to the maybe, maybe not hangar 9 cub
LOL - "plane" very nice...
It's supposed to be done in 7-9 weeks...but you know that doesn't really mean a whole lot.
Brian Phillips yea, so probably 12-14 weeks until you can get the fun stuff
LOL - Stop harassing me, you soothsayer, you!!!
I hope we're BOTH wrong!
I just bought this weird looking plane. Can’t wait to fly it!
Only MY opinion: Like an old "Dire Straits" Song tells : Money for Nothing. Cheaper SYMA/WL-Toys Helis can do the same - but thank you for this nice funny video. Good luck for new house building !!! Frank
Thanks Frank!
Don't let my lack of skills put this in the Syma "toy" heli category. This heli will do almost anything the "Real" RC heli's will do, I'm just not skilled enough to do it without crashing right away :)
I just picked up an old Blade 500X in near new condition.
How many heli's do you have now Keith?
Brian Phillips I’m right at 12 helis getting into scale helis. 1 Traxxas Slash 4x4 all modified to go stupid fast and 6 airplanes and a stunning DJI Mavic 2 Pro drone and one wife who is just thrilled the house is filled with my RC toys.
I recieved my awaited xk k110 rc helicopter today and it just spins in circles, so i went online and found out how to calibrate the gyroscopes and it helped a little so i tried trimming the rotationand the boom fell out, I put it back in and its worse. never took it more than 3 ft off the ground. people that have reviewed this say its realy tuff and can handle some crashes, mine couldnt handle a soft landing.
So who do i send this thing back to?
I don't understand why you're having such difficulties!!! Sounds like the prop is on BACKWARDS on your tail rotor.... can you try flipping it before you get too much deeper into your frustration?
As for a better pick, the newest review we did was on THIS....SUPER easy to fly
E129 bit.ly/2FDI5Oq
If you do return it, maybe get that one (the E129) in stead???
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thanks but ive got other helis to fly. Im hoping to step up from my old 950 volitation. they make a newer 3d brushless version of it now. Maybe ill try that one. Yeah. Ill check the props
That’s a Losi connector on those batteries.
I knew it!!! IT was totally on the tip of my tongue - sooooo annoying to forget when you're on camera!!!
Thanks Keith!
What is the difference between a brushless motor and a non-brushless motor ?
Brushless motors have several coils that don't touch the stater with f (the middle piece that spins) and there's an ESC (electronic speed control) that runs the motor based on a signal from your transmitter/receiver.
Brushed motors have brushes that reach from the case of the motor into the stater, making physical contact, which energizes coils, thus creating a magnetic field, and spinning. There's friction and wear between these touching pieces which causes less efficiency.
Is this good for a beginner Heli Piolt Brain?
Yes it’s small so it can handle many crashes. An easier to find at least state side would be a Horizon Hobby Blade Nano CPS Heli and well worth the money.
I think it's maybe a bit capable for a first heli, but they sure are strong!!! The 3D6G gyro system works really good, but you still have to kinda have a feel for aircraft controls. I think a better first Heli would be a cheap quad...since they're typically a bit easier to fly, but if you're ready for the plunge - it's a GREAT value!!!
You make it seem pretty easy ;) (Just like I do with planed - LOL)
@@keithwhisman thanks for the reply Sir....I fly planes and have tried Helis with no success.
Miller I know it can be a hard thing to do but with flying helis buying a good simulator is very important it’ll save you a lot of repairs as you progress in learning to fly helis. I recommend purchasing Horizon Hobby Real Flight 8 Horizon Hobby edition that comes with a good transmitter for the sim only and a very large fleet of realistic and accurate flying airplanes, drones and helicopters and gliders. Most importantly about This version of RF Sim is that it contains most of Horizon Hobby aircraft including their fleet of helis meaning you can learn to fly say a Blade 360 CFX on the sim and then when you’re ready buy a Blade 360 CFX and go out flying though I would still suggest you start out with a Blade Nano CPS as it’s nearly indestructible and flies as tame as a fixed pitch in safe mode and when you’re ready you can master 3D in 3D mode with the flip of a switch. I only recommend Blade and Horizon Hobby because you can visit most US hobby shops and choose from a selection and have the benefit of the simulator with an accurate digital version available and you have a ready supply of repair parts to get back in the air from the many crashes you’re going to experience. Parts for the Blade helis are inexpensive unlike helis you buy online from importer websites, you’ll have to wait weeks to get your bird back in the air. No matter though, everyone crashes in RC Heli flying and that’s part of learning. Even the experts crash like crazy haha. It’s all about having fun and accomplishing something so few can master. No matter how hard it is to fly just remember that you will learn how to do it and it will soon become so easy it’ll become muscle memory.
A brilliant video as always Brian. Hope you will be doing one on the new Timber-X soon would love to see you flying it to the max. Regards from U.K
I'm very tempted, since they always ROCK, but buying three of the same plane...at some point I might need to get some help or something....LOL
Hello
hi
@@BrianPhillipsRC well long time no see😂
First
Thanks for coming!
