Learn How to Fly RC Helicopters
Video Rating: 4 / 5
In this video you get to finally HOVER your RC helicopter. The basics of hovering flight are explained and then demonstrated for you.
The NEXT video will be more practice of the rudder control as well as hovering forward, backwards, and side to side. Please SUBSCRIBE so you see it as soon as it comes out. e-mail mikey@mikeysrc.com if you have and questions.
This is part of a video series teaching you how to eventually fly full function 6 channel RC helicopters. The plan is to start you out on a coaxial helicopter, teach you the basics which are broken up into easy to learn and practice steps.
Once these skills are mastered you are ready to move on to a 6 channel helicopter.

“we will be covering hovering”
my helepoctior is from china =) but it doesnt have the left right swich in the left control =( soooo… how do i do it!! can u PM me how???
i can seee the script
all heli looks easy but its not soo be careful no matter what
my father just gave me his cause he cant get it off the ground. itas a really cheap one from walgreens but still pretty cool. hope i can get it off the ground tomorrow
@pjerry72 … Simulator is well worth it … but you can get this for free : Google for “HeliSimRC” … it’s much better than the other oft quoted freebie – FMS. All you need then is a Tx with USB cable … which most, even the cheapo Chinese clone radios have. As to heli – I bought a clone 450 same as Mikeys, but actual SE V2 ( gyro is slung UNDER tail boom) for just over $200 RTF .. complete. Barebones version $25, radio system another $90, motor / ESC about $40, gyro $20… already over $170.
@pjerry72 … sad … and probably he wonders why his biz is going down. Trouble is like corner shops for that emergency carton of milk while main food list is via the supermarket, LHS literally are expected to survive on pickings, the repair bits and pieces, having NOT sold the main item – that having been bought cheaper online. I know this as I am as guilty of it as many others. We all want the LHS to be there, but economics makes us spend online. I wonder what real cost is long term ?
@hcoptertx … you have a problem … you ought to read what you typed before – then you will understand …
Anyway – it’s a common term “tail wagging” when gyro is not set right … but of course you probably have another term for that ? Cyclic Yaw ?? Mikey is providing good flight instruction regardless of your need to correct terminology. I value his effort and time to make and post the vids.
As to my character, not your affair and anyway – you must be just as bad to be on here watching!
@hcoptertx …. quote : ” Moving the tail side to side is not called wagging as mentioned. It is called “yaw”. The ” tail rotor” is not a rudder either. Its there to counteract torque of the main rotor. Adjusting the gyro as the copter is sliding to the side is a “roll” adjustment. ” …. not exactly Cyclic is it ? Adjust Gyro for side movement ? Gyro looks after yaw of the tail not cyclic roll !! I don’t need a b****** manual to explain what cyclic is …..
@hcoptertx … like others – thanks for the correction … but really not needed. The guy is providing good instruction to novices and people starting to look at RC choppers … proper terms can be learnt later …
Even so … i do not agree with your “roll adjustment” statement .. and I’m not a Heli-expert.
Nice to know there are experts out there … haha …
Go for it Mikey !!
i tried getting into rc hellis and seen some stimulators online for 20bucks and some really nice starter helicopters for about 80-120bucks (4 channel) but people kept telling me to go to a local hobby shop… so i did as soon as i walk in there i tell him i have a 120-170 dollar budget, the idiot trys selling me a 200$ simulator with a 220$ helicopter that i seen online for less then a 100$… fuck supporting local hobby shops honestly
@hcoptertx Thanks wikipedia… I wonder what my life would be like if I didn’t read your useless comment. In fact, it took me away from about 5-10 seconds of the video wasted on you… shame on you, sir, shame on you.
hard landing
thanks man big help
@FAIZCOOL2008 haha
@FAIZCOOL2008 same here, i destroyed our plant (:
@matt00harley ooo shit i wrecck in when i was trying to fly it in my home ooo shit
It’s normal to have like a .8 second delay on the tail rotor right? I mean from when you move the RC stick until the tail rotor starts moving.
@mitch4137 how so?
@JusZLiMiT jus gO 2 UR local hobe shop and ax 4 a “hElecoptOr training kit” I didnt make it i jus bot it.
alrite pal, what did u make the stabilisers for the heli ?? i no its quite simple but jus want 2 no whats it made of ! !
@MikeysRC Just constructive, wasnt meant to come off like it sounds. Since retiring from the helicopter field, I do RC for hobby and therapy for my hand. (C-7 quad). Apologies for it sounding as harsh as it was.
@hcoptertx SIR…Yes SIR!!! I will drop and give you 25 for my mistakes SIR!
@dozermanful Try reversing your gyro “REV / NOR” switch.
Hello Mikey,im still having trouble?my 450 T-rex helicopter still goes into a spin ?im trying everything,or maybe not the right way to stop this spinning,ive ajusted the trims,and the servo rod length,im sure im not the only one out there that when first starting out has had the same problem?
Hi i cant decide which one ti get i am a begginer an i am only planning on buying one heli until i get the money for some thing big which obe should i get a v120d01 or a Hm4#6
@toro74449 No
is it 3D capable?
hello its been more than 3 months now and i havent seen any of the flybarless helicopter on sale… i want to know why..?
Xheli are known to have the latest and cheapest helicopters on the market, but recently u guys has been really behind. Even that website Helipal has these helicopters on their site.
If i werent a good costumer at Xheli i would just left and go buy it there, but as a loyal fan i decided to wait for more hopefully this Christmas .. please dont fail me Xheli
@howardflight09 The Walkera V120D01 is much better because the tail rotor is gear driven. The Solo Pro v2 uses a TRM.
i cant find these flybarless helicopter … helpppppppp
@tecktoskymotion Check out Xheli. com for the latest pricing! Free Shipping also right now!!!! -cn

nine eagles solo pro v2 rocks

@xhelicopter
I just checked and this V120 IS NOT on nitroplanes.
Nice Heli!!
can this fly outdoors ? its kinda useless to have a very powerful chopper for indoors only , coz its hard to find enough space to fly this thing indoors.. so can this fly outdoors ? coz sure it will be a hell alot of fun if you can play with this at an open area . and if this cant fly outdoors what is your recommendations . !

whats the difference between 2 propellers i see some with one ontop of another and or like this one it has one… im new to rc helis and looking to order one.. also what are the advantages and disadvantages from the different “fans” (i probably sound dumb right now but bear with me) :]
what is the best fixed pitch micro heli that you flew ?
what is the best mini heli fixed pitch that you flew?
which micro fixed pitch easier for a beginner?
flight Flybarless with technology is more stable?
blade Msr or 4#6 bell or Flybarless heli technology?
So when are these coming in ??
WANT !!!
Yes it is fast and agile looking, probably more so than my eye hand coordination!. I have a Kyosho Min 120AD 4 Channel, little smaller than that I think and I can;t even hover it yet, starting to feel Copter Challenged!!
You have any thoughts about how it compares to the Minium 120AD? I can always go back to my lumbering CoComanche! & FMS
Hello,
Where can I find this rc heli? I tried looking for it but I cannot find it at xheli.com
Please help me with getting better battery too please.. i want more flying time…
THANKS!
damn! that is pretty straight forward flying! I just got my first rc heli from xheli.com too! but its not stable… its pretty difficult to fly! LOL…. and yah i know im an newbie… but I spent around 3hours using the Esky FMS when I got the package…
One thing that I am concern is the flying time of electric Rc helicopters.. I spent 3hours charging and can only fly 5mins? Can the flying time be extended if I get a much better battery cell? I want to fly more! LOL
can they make for 450 or bigger?
@jujuqka Well not trying to get xheli to lose business, but you can buy the V120D01 from other stores online…google it then click on shopping! =P its about 200
