Eachine 180 Direct Drive Heli & what I've learned about it, it's ETRM, PLUS my TX & Heli mods. 

Thanks so very kindly for that and know, I truly appreciate you! Stay well and Happy Flying!

@@NightFlyyer, and the same to you my friend!

Thanks. Yes. I had them till the fire destroyed everything, but at least I still have the videos of the prototype I sent to Japan flying with the ETRM. Thanks again.

I am glad you found this then for sure. Thanks so kindly!

Wow, haven't heard the picco z word in a long while. I am so glad your back at it. Thanks so very much for the kind words and happy flying.

@@NightFlyyer I had the picoo z 15 years ago.. time flies by

@@weltvonoben Right on. I think many of us had them....I sure did. Thanks.

Hi and thanks so kindly for commenting. I also hope you and yours have a Happy Easter as well. Thanks again.

Hi Jaden. I appreciate that. Here is one of my Big Nitro J-3 Cub ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7Dvt2Q5_AZI.html and here is one of my Nitro Nexus 30 Helicopter. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qDMBoC6Oa_E.html Stay tuned for more and thanks for the suggestion.

It was and thanks so kindly!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVE!!

Thanks so very much, John. We appreciate you. Stay well.

Thanks so very much. I appreciate that, Dean.

HI Don. We shall see if the wind ever stops! Thanks and Happy Easter to you as well.

Thanks a lot Scott. It’s snowing here now. Lots of laughs. Semper Fi.

Right on. Enjoy it.

Thanks so very kindly. I truly appreciate you!

Right on. This one will make you a pincher for sure. Thanks.

@@NightFlyyer what is the main reason for pinch style? i know it might be preference but maybe extra control and without accidently pushing unwanted directions. i noticed thumb is a little hard to go full stick on the rudder too. for me anyways. and i like my rates fast.

@@trashynoobgears5player48 Well, it is no big deal to those folks who fly airplanes that don't know much about rudder, so they don't use it much. But if your a strong rudder flyer, and a 3d Heli pilot, that left stick, which controls pitch, main rotor motor speed, plus tail rotor, it is too easy to "drop" the stick and it is impossible to get back, when flying inverted hover for example. So I began Pinch flying because I was flying in AMA pattern contests and you had to know how to use Rudder for them. But my Mentors and teachers were both Heli Nats champions back in the Day. That was John Simone Jr. and Mike Mas. They Pinch, plus I've watched lots of how the champs flew when I was learning and even today and you will see them mostly pinchers. You just have more control and if you use a sling, it is a piece of cake. I know it is hard to get used to, but once you do, you will never go back. Thanks and happy flying.

@@NightFlyyer thanks for the input. yea I see alot of people flying pinch in videos. Thanks Again!!

Thanks so very much, Ed. I appreciate you. Stay well, and God Bless.

Thanks much and happy Easter to you as well.

Thanks a lot Jason. Yes, this thing really spins up, and me being shakey these days, I was holding my breath. LOL. Thanks again and Happy Easter to you all.

@@NightFlyyer Happy Easter to you guys too! Thanks.

Yes, they are cool. There are many differences, however. Thanks.

M2 is great! Hands down best micro made!

Thank you, but I think you can never have too many....LOL

Right on! Your very kind! Thanks.

Me too. Thanks so kindly.

You're kind words are heartening. Thanks so kindly! You stay well and Fly easy! ~ Dave

@@NightFlyyer always welcome Dave. get to Paramotor flights. you will love it. RC is going to stay but we need new hobbies :)

@@alishanmao I had a friend when I lived off the Coast in S. California and he flew his quite a bit and I watched. Be careful. He did something on a landing and broke his arm. I, pushing 75, don't think that is for me, but I'll be watching you. Fly easy.

@@NightFlyyer Dave you see the irony, I broke my left talus bone in 4 pieces on an electric scooter accident, then I recently fractured 4 ribs, again on same electric scooter LOL. Never had any incident Thanks GOD flying Paramotors or paragliders. most of my friends after hearing about my injuries told me stop flying and I told them LOL no, I must stop riding maybe. For old is gold people likes us LOL, we need para-trikes and i am working on a design and build soon. Stay safe buddy.

@@alishanmao I do, I do! Gee. Should I call you Mr. No Fear? LOL. Take care and be safe.

Well, I make a video once a week and usually it is flying, but of course slower in the winter. I can't wait to get it outside and try it, but weather here in upper Midwest is looking pretty lousey, at least for another 2 weeks. I looked to see your M2 video, but didn't see it. Thanks and happy flying.

@@NightFlyyer Yeha. I lost the vibe for making RU-vid videos quite some years ago due to depression, & what little content I had on my channel, I took every video down. I used to have videos of me flying my T-Rex 500 ESP 3G at night. Now, that I'm finally getting fiber internet in my area, I'll finally be able to get back into making content for my channel, after nearly 8 years without any form of internet. Here's ta hoping for a break in the weather, on your end. =^/.^=

Thanks very kindly!

Thanks very kindly as well!

Right on. I just built a foam board Aeromaster bipe. Maybe you saw that one from a couple of weeks ago. I think the pitch is a bit touchy in 3d, but I won't know till I try some inverted stuff outside with no walls. Happy flying and thanks.

I've also been around since 2009 when you sold me an ESKY Hunter. My first RC anything. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bYzCD_F8kDs.html

Right on!

I appreciate that and we will see. I just hate 27 the mph winds for test flying. They hamper my smoothness, but do cover my shakiness. LOL. Thanks kindly.

After watching Alishamnao's video of the comparison, is why I chose the 180. Here's the link. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dUTYHD1f3A8.html Happy flying, Don and thanks.

I didnt know I was gone! I try to post a video about once a week. Well I didn't take anything apart, so don't know about the lube. So far, so good. I thing the Earth must be spinning faster or something, cause the wind this winter and spring has been brutal. Thanks and I hope you have good flying with yours as well. Thanks much.

Busy week next week to fly, but I will try. Thanks Dick and Happy Easter.

Right on. Well, who needs parts? LOL. I bought the spare just in case and still haven't been able to fly them, as weather up here is still pretty lousy. Thanks and happy flying.

For my small helis, like in my 1 bladed version of this heli, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HLSgvFsZtk0.html , I use foam paint rollers. They are easily painted, are light and tough, plus raise the tail rotor off the ground and make it much easier for these 76 year old eyes to see. Happy flying and thanks for commenting.

They are foam paint rollers. They work great too. Thanks.

@@NightFlyyer Ingenious, definitely will get some. Thank you for responding.

Well, I havent crashed it....yet. I will keep a lookout tho. Thanks.

Well, there are several that are great. Start with at least a 6 channel radio. I prefer the DSMX2 stuff like ORX or Spektrum, but keep it simple. You might like this Esky, but maybe if you are brand new pilot, get a counter rotating helicopter first and practice on a sim. Check this out. The ultimate beginners helicopter? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fu-v27iTygg.html

The problem with foreign manufacturing is that they are single minded to survive the market and single minded in adding things instead of thinking about what the bare minima and optima of things. When they want stability, they just add RPM until the motor nearly explodes.

That is a bold statement to make, so I assume you own both, to compare, but I see no videos on you channel? There are big differences, including servo layout, motor sizes, and the 180 has more power. If you check the video of my friend Alishanmao, he compares the 2 and why I wound up with the 180. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dUTYHD1f3A8.html

@@NightFlyyer Yes I did own both, E180 is gone as soon as I got the M2! The 180 definitely don’t have more power then the M2 the 180 bogs where the M2 just takes it! I would gladly pay the little extra for the M2. Oh yeah! M2 has a adjustable FBL unit where the E180 just had pots. The 180 is not bad but M2 beats it. There is no videos because this is not my hobby channel. Westhobbiesrc is my channel. I can fly a heli a little bit.

@@NightFlyyer also remember the E180 is a copy of the M2, eachine copied OMP. OMP is the one to bring the DD small helis to market first and been around a while.

@@jeffwest5080 Yes, since 2019 as I recall. I guess it took a year for them to at least copy the idea. I have seen bigger direct drive helis from way back, so not a new idea. When I sold my NOTAR idea and this ETRM idea to Kyosho in Japan, we patented it and they paid me, but as you know China copied everything after that, so not surprised. Happy flying.

Sorry, I can't do that. There are many videos on this on my channel as well as Alishanmao's. Everything is explained there. Here is a video of the comparison of the M2 and 180 by Alishanmao. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dUTYHD1f3A8.html
