Carmanon UH-1 RC Helicopter - Huey Collectable Remote Control Helicopter with Auto-Hover for Adults, Beginners, 1/27 Scale, 2 Batteries

Being a 40 year US Army helicopter veteran, having this beautiful flying model of the UH1 I flew more than 6,000 hours is great! This seller was great in handling a situation that required a replacement, doing it very professionally and quick. So now it's back out to flying it, it being definitely more of a flying model than a drone with it's design handling the main rotor exactly in the same manner as the real thing, not requirng another counter rotating rotor as most drones do. Thank you!

Very cool helicopter, manual is well done, well packaged arrived in 5 days. No slow boat from China here. Flies amazing and very easy to fly even for first time pilots. For seasoned pilots it’s fun to fly as well. I’ll have to try the inverted flight. Love the scale details. Not sure the Chinese used their spell check on their packing🤣.

This copter is VERY light and got caught in the breeze on my first flight. This was 100% my fault!! Immediate crash and burn so I highly recommend extra parts. They do come from China so be prepared for some very long lead times getting extra parts. I do believe it will be quite fun when it gets the clearance and no wind. :-)

Waiting to fly it then I’ll update this. Right now all I can say is I’m still trying to understand the manual. It’s very confusing and hard to understand. I want to make sure I completely understand the directions how to fly this and not waste $280.Update. Got it out on an open field, got the motor started, increased the throttle and it took off to never be seen again!!! Could not get it to respond to any commands! Update found it. Didn’t realize there wasn’t any tail rotor on it, hit a tree I think because the windshield was out on the port side. I returned it. They’re sending done me another one.

Just what I've been looking for with great price.

I just want to add, I was having the hardest time, trying to figure out how to get the main rotor to activate. I assumed by pushing the left toggle switch forward, the rotor blades would turn. When they didn't, I assumed, I hadn't pushed some other button on the remote, or had failed to pair the remote with the helicopter, properly. Finally, after reading, and rereading the instruction pamphlet provided in the box, I stumbled across one paragraph in the instructions that explained, to activate the rotor motor, you have to move Both Remote Toggles, to the Rear, and in Opposing Directions at the same time for three seconds. So, pull the left toggle back and to the left; the right toggle to the back and right. This stumped me for the longest time.I wish the Graphics in the enclosed instructions, illustrated that!But it, Did Not!I offer this in case anyone out there, find themselves in the same situation. The operating instructions overlook how to clearly engage the rotor motor.

I didnt like the fact that the 1st time I flew it it broke. Not the propeller, but the support for the propeller. can I still return it?

Files great no problems. Has good battery life. Pretty durable. It looks freaking real and is super scale looking.
