Well, I got mine and finished the setup in about 20 minutes (including Testing). Then went out front and flew it in my street in front of my home. It flew great and has a large presence in the air. This is one to get, and it will be a star. Thanks Brian!

It’s definitely a cool little helicopter. It reminds me of the first foam fuselage helicopter, which was the multiplex fun copter. This helicopter will NOT do hard 3D. The tail will never hold. It’s not designed for that. That’s what a Pod and Boom is made for.

That heli is cool. Good job showing it off. Cheers

That is sweet looking. Now we just need a Huey body!!!

i am always a fan of easy batt swaps. love the look also!❤

Really like it but it sounds funny. Like how the wheels cant back makes it look fast. Really proud of you guys and the way you have mastered the audio in your RU-vids over the years.

Lots of folks hate on Blade, but they kept on making Helis when almost everyone jumped on the quad / drone bandwagon a few years ago. I cut my teeth on an original MCPX, still have and it still flies.

You can soften up the initial spool up by going into settings and adjusting the throttle curve or adding expo to your throttle. Great video, looks like fun!

Amazing

Brian’s first 28 minute video. 👍🏻

Thats dope

I love it. Thats my kind of flying too.

Darn it Brian, every time I watch one of your videos, I buy the product. The level of enthusiasm in this one was super....

Oh crap! Now I'm going to have to have one of these. On the bright side It will be easier to hide than another 1/4 scale airplane. LOL!!! Nice job!

Great video. I really enjoy watching your videos

Very nice, I love the pond, can not wait to see it with water, and some boats and pontoons on some planes.

I like the quote "It's like flying a helicopter that is an airplane"... for sure helis like this bring in some new pilots that could have quit very fast after a couple of crashes with helis without safe or stability mode. And if they get the orientations and stuff right they might try to fly is without stability and might get the real feeling. It's always a good thing to bring in new poeple than to demotivate them right from the beginning!

Just watched TheRcSaylors flight of this model. Your rc heli skills are improving faster than his. Good job.

Super Cool! I would Love to see an Orange Coast Guard Version!! Reminds me when I used to take Helicopters to work Off-Shore in the Gulf of Mexico. Nice!!

Kind of pleasantly surprised that it takes "big boy" batteries. It ran through the 2200mAh 3s pretty quick, though. I guess fixed wing gives lipos more opportunities to recover, than helis. Love the Dam footage! Can't wait to see an actual Dam Pond soon! 👍

Waiting for the Blade Fusion 550 review! Easy build and a pleasure to fly now that our snow is gone here in Mass. I realize you have a time frame to get out your reviews to satisfy agreements with your suppliers but I think you would enjoy the result. The transmitter setup alone would be a great video.

Bad ass man

Beautiful Helicopter and it looks so good, but FOAM only looks good for a little while then just like foam airplanes they get looking so ratty and beat up as I always wanted a A10 but foamies just are not my thing as I like to fly them for years and have them look good but I do love the Blade Helis as I was just out yesterday flying my Blade 330s and 230 so I will stick to them but I'am going to be purchasing a Blade 360 Fusion. Thanks for your excellent reviews I find the setup videos so helpful......thanks again and have a good day!!

I like it!! Had been thinking I'd have to buy a 3-D model to fly scale. Not all of us are into 3-D!!

That’s nice 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Great looking heli- It's nice to see one flown like a helicopter and not flopping around and inverted and all that. It'll be interesting to see if other bodies come out- maybe some interesting aftermarket ones. If you've never done FPV on a heli- I highly recommend it... back in the very early days of FPV stuff, I ran a camera over the amateur tv band with a ham license with a manual gimbal under a .30 nitro powered Kyosho Concept. I guess quadcopters kinda reduced the enthusiasm for helicopters, because they really were challenging to learn before modern flight controllers.

Beautiful heli, I want one now😂😂 I just bought a goosky S2 heli and a Losi Promoto MX.

Man this is very cool , nice how they did the fan tail design. I just wish it had a scale fuselage. Seems to fly very well too!

Love your video's Brian, but 450 dollars without a battery or a transmitter ! Flywing Airwolf 550 all in. Blessings from Ireland 🇮🇪 Eamon.

Aaaa thats what you were hiding in the last video. I like the idea of a foam body. This will definitely get people who take themselves way to serious angry. Its for cruising around not 3D but that wont stop people from moaning on forever about it.

Velcro is trademarked!!hook n loop is what people in the know say!! 😂..I’m a sucker for helis period. Love that blade is stepping out of the box with the foam bodies. Lotta haters lotta butt hurt in the helicopter community today!! I LOVE IT! Price isn’t that bad. I give it a 👍because of the retracts!!

They really need to do military helicopters. Bell AH-1Z Viper. MD500 . Russian Mil Mi-24.

“Dam” that is cool. 😂 it really is a sweet heli.

Kinda getting some Air Wolf vibes. Would love to see a CH-53K heavy lift chopper.

He sounds so much likeJack Black, the enthusiasm is very infectious! Love it haha

This will make the heli pilots mad

Freaking beautiful… love the body style..👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😎🇺🇸

Hello Brian, I have always been a loyal follower and would really like to know your feelings on the Blade - Eclipse 360 - BNF Heli, as I am a novice Heli Pilot and have a couple of Blade rigs now, but liked the looks and your video on this. I am more concerned about the foam fuselage and how all this plastic and foam will hold up, as I am just wanting something to use in the local park and my RC field for flights similar to yours. Is it really as easy as you show?

“Yeah it does if you have the right person flying it”. @BrianPhillipsRC LOL you crack me up 😂 I love your personality

Off topic for this video but i went with Tx16s Radiomaster and cannot get safe to work on my Carbon Z 150T. Am i gonna have to set up my safe select with a Spektrum Tx first for it to work? Thanks alot love the videos

Not understanding the negative comments. Planes aren't cheap by any means to me this is way more advanced.

interesting helicopter ✅️

Brian do u know how you reset the Eachine e6 transmitter? I have the e150 and e120s and they both won't go into 3d mode.. what do u think the problem is?

Not a helicopter guy, but that looks cool. Might have really consider this one.

Awe man, I was hoping there would be a non-wheel (gear up) flight. I can see this repainted in Military colors and decals

I like it too :) How easy would it be to fly it with a Radiomaster TX16S remote? Straightforward? Thanks!

Yes! Foam bodies for helis is a logical progression. Brian, the way you flew it around pretending to be in it is how one becomes good at flying helis. It's all about control and pretending to not kill yourself and the passengers. Maybe one day you'll be a snob too. Ha. If a pilot wants to practice smack then the simulator is where it's done. Brian. I like when you start flying forward more like an airplane. Please continue. The transition from feeling like a hell into an airplane is fascinating. Thank you for flying this bird. I could feel you really enjoying it. Props! or rather Blades!

The new modern day and improved Airwolf.

you are a very good pilot and would be cool if you could add (and advise your opinion) about on board cameras?

For that price it would have made sense to do a scale ec145, even in foam form

Wonder if I can buy the foam body and retrofit my Blade 360 Fusion :)

Looks good, I don't think most people care or need to do stunts in stuff like this because there are tons of heli's that are designed to do this. With this heli it's more about smooth, scale flying and why I think the manufacturer missed the mark here a bit. Maybe they want to avoid paying some fee to original manufacturer, but if they had made this look like a real heli (kinda reminds me of a Gazelle) they would have won on all points, but hey, just one guys opinion. Also, most toy grade helis are smaller and they do NOT have GPS, some of the more recent ones look very scale and fly great. Many of what might be referred to as "toy grade" helicopters are every bit as good as "hobby grade", the main difference being they are not sold by HH dealers, lol. You are right, they are typically smaller but then you can fly indoors or out and also less damage occurs when crashed, bigger is not always better. Not bashing this helicopter, I hope they sell tons of them and people like them.

I wonder if you could install floats on a heli, like on a heli this size and land/take off from a very calm small lake? :) Taking off would probably need close to full power. But when landing, the blades would create rough water. Or maybe oversized Training gear sets with those round plastic balls. Just a silly idea I thought about :) I could imagine you would have some problems when it doesn't go straight up should a ball or two stick to the surface resulting in the heli to flip over hehe.

Looks a little like AirWolf. But, it sounds like it a little more. Almost like Jan Michael Vincent was flying it! 👍

HEY! It looks like the Hill X50!😎

Very cool looking Helicopter but No GPS, So hopefully Blade will come out with a GPS version for beginners ????

I smell a lawsuit from Multiplex...remember the Funcopter? I loved the Funcopter, but it flew like utter crap. This one looks great, kinda pricey though. Nice to see scale flying, I could care less if it can invert or not.

Is possible to bind with old Spektrum DX6i?

Looks like the HX 50 Hill concept helicopter.

For the love of God Brian stop taking my money

Eflite are marketing geniuses! This will sell well to a target market for sure. True heli enthusiasts will think the helicopter is junk (me included). I do love the turnkey aspect of their products since it allows a larger portion of RC enthusiasts to try their hand at flying these rather complicated contraptions. Brian- I challenge you to up your heli flying skills! You are an amazing fixed wing pilot but you keep whining that you can’t fly helicopters…inverted flight really isn’t that difficult once you get your brain wired for it.

That is a real helicopter that is coming into production call hill HX50. Only thing the real one has three blades.

FOAM???? What genius thought that was a good idea! I’ll pass… BIG TIME!

You could buy an OMP M2 Evo with flight stability and a used spectrum transmitter for the same price. You’ll have 10x the product 🤷‍♂️

Too bad the wheels dont retract up

4:59 Perhaps you need a "Brian Phillips Theme song"??? ;) 9:20 YAEH! Why's they do that!? My new Blade 360 getting all out of sorts on spool up, main rotors AND even the tail rotors hitting the ground. tough to control for a hot second, then it smooths out. what gives? Any ideas or suggestions?

The tail is stuck in a perpetual A-OK sign. Can't unsee it.

450.00 for a Foam Heli, it will not sale well. Way off the charts for its price. They can keep it.........👎

Cough up another $100 and you get a Flywing with gps fiberglass body also a transmitter.

Wish they had done more on the color scheme with some wild colors. Dark grey/black???

Heli foam ? 🤷🏼‍♂️

Good deal

They took a 20 year old design, wrapped a foam concept scale fuselage on it from 2025, and called it a new heli. Great marketing team over there 🤦‍♂️ This is why companies like FMS, OMP, and goo sky will destroy HH model by model.

😎👌

LOL

I see you do ppg flying. You need to do a review and set up on the hacker para cloud .5 looks like fun

To think this is more than a 70mm viper is crazy.

...there goes my budget...lol. nice!!!

Wish it came in different colors

Fenestron Tail.

I dunno... My mower is pretty expensive 😉

Looks kinda like an alien airwolf

Need a rtf version for some of us that don't no how to set it up which would be difficult need rtf version for a quick up in the air heli.

Does everyone get these models sent to them at the same time? RC Saylors posted a video on this today too.

Question, do we still the points from HH if we buy it off your channel?

I think its a little over priced though. But thats probably cause its a new product launching. Blade needs to oay for all that R and D to develop this geli. But is still very cool.

Jason just came through on his promise. This is awesome. Foam makes so much sense. Nice banking turns!! That's what I needed to see. Yes, scale all the way. Where's the MD500 body?

I love your vids but please knock off the squeaky voice at the beginning.

Over $400, no thanks for a non-scale heli... Thanks for the awesome video, not your fault I don't like the 360. lol

It’s foam? Wow hard pass at this price point.

how much?never mind I found the price. not bad I will need to buy a radio to.

who thinks blade should make an ah64 apache

Im In Carajo

A $500 foam beginner helicopter, no thanks. It's a hard pass for me. What are those guys at HH smoking? I can only conclude that your over-the-top enthusiasm is motivated by commissions.

450 is to much for a foam helicopter goosky2 helicopter don't coast that much it sounds funny

Its the aeroscout of helis

Looks like they copied the lines of the new Hill HX50 helicopter

One sexy looking Heli, I not sure if EPO good or bad.

I really am a traxxas, horizon fanboy, but 450 for a FOAM!!! heli just aint it. Ive never seen a foam heli in my entire life
