This is definitely one of the coolest RC Helicopters I've seen, almost looks like an Airwolf. I feel the same way about having realism looks, this one is above that and I'm thinking about buying it just because it looks so cool. Much props to Blade for the design, and thanks to you Nate for making it look like flying it is very user friendly.

$450 for a foam heli? WOW! That kinda seems crazy

The sound is probably what I like the most about this one. Twin blades and constant RPM are what gives it that realism. Very, very nice heli. 🚁

For about the same price you can get the flywing fw450 that comes with the TX and battery. It has GPS auto circle and figure 8 and return to home even auto invert.

When this shape gets boot legged for half that price, I’ll buy one.

WOW!! Excellent flight time !!!! I Love it !!! ....Get to the Choppa !!!😂👍🫵👍

Hey good looking, wow foam ! Looks Areo dynamics structural stability. That's a ideal stable trainer . Great to see thanks again! 🚁 Would like a bright hi - lighted tail rotor for positioning in flight .

Bright yellow with flashing LED's would be cool

STILL A LITTLE PRICEY FOR A FOAM BIRD. I WAS THINKING A 250 300 RANGE. BUT $450 FOR BIND AND FLY FOAM SEEMS HIGH STILL A BEAUTIFUL BIRD. ENDING PRAYER IS A NICE PLUS. THANKS FOR THE CONTENT!

I agree with Abby, there have been a few nervous moments at the local flying field with folks flying big helicopters! I want one of these.

Beautiful helicopter!! That throttle control would take me a bit to get used to. Maybe train on a simulator first.

I like it! Being heli pilot for over 10 years, it's a yes for me! Resembles airworlf

Looks amazing. Flying since 1977 as a boy. Blessings from Ireland 🇮🇪 The Rolex Drone channel and more. Eamon ❤️

I love it definitely looks clean way better without landing gears. I could see a repaint in Military colors and decals! BBBBRRRRRTTTT!

Now that's a sweet looking helicopter. A little pricey but super cool looking.

Actually like this heli design

Does look like a refined Multiplex Funcopter, but certainly a good thing

The fuselage reminds me of Multiplex Funcopter, it had a foam body but just a little bigger. Cool helicopter and great review guys.

I've read a lot of the comments here and they are pretty disparaging for the most part. Please keep a few things in mind. 1. Not everyone wants a monster 3D machine. Scale helicopters don't flip over and have convulsions in the air, at least not by design. 2. It's NOT really a foam helicopter. It is a helicopter frame like a lot of others, albeit not the most modern design, with a foam body. 3. $449 is a nice chunk of money, but to say it should sell for $100 - $300? The flight controller alone is $199. 4. Not everyone has 20/20 vision and reflexes like a cat, for some folks who want to fly casual, scale style with something big enough that they can see it at a distance, it might be just the ticket. I don't expect it will be a huge seller, but I applaud Horizon for offering something different. And finally, Nate doesn't claim to be an expert helicopter pilot. For this product I think his review might be more relevant than someone with massive helicopter skills flying it would be.

Biggggg difference between now and when I learned to fly helis... back in the gy401 tail gyro and flybar days lol.... back when we put big carbon rods across the landing skids in a X pattern with foam balls in the end. I'm glad that I learned back in the day of no electronic aids to get us out of trouble. It tought us how to rebuild and do setups and just learn helis inside and out more so than just building them did. We also learned to not try to advance quicker than our skills allowed or else it got real expensive real quick. Lots of time in real fight g3 to learn in-between flights. I learned to fly on an original trex 600N and by the time Flybarless/DFC brushless helis was hitting the market and tech was advancing quick I was already a fairly skilled female 3d heli pilot. Now days the 700s fly so amazing and locked in its not even anything like it used to be back in the nitro flybared helis. Now days the flybarless systems are so good, the servos so good/accurate and fast, the frame/head geometry so good and the power systems just supplying balls to the wall power its nothing like it used to be. I miss the days of old school flybar nitro helis and still fly my old 600n and 700n to this day when I want to get retro and remind my self of just how good the systems are now days.

Beautiful Helicopter. If you look closely, this also resembles the AirWolf, but in a modern version. Awesome. Wish you lots of fun with it. Happy flying 👍😃 👍👍👍👍👍

Lol we all like your iconic crashes❤😂😂😂

All i see is Airwolf all day long and i want one now.

AWESOME maiden Nate!! If you need to be quiet to concentrate then be my guest!! It's ABBY that just makes me LOL!! You guys are the "I Love Lucy" of RU-vid!! I have no pertinent comment about the COOL heli, other than saying a real one here, it's red, it's a medivac!! Thanks Saylors, honestly!! 👍❤😘

even as an experienced heli flyer i actually just like they way this thing looks..

I would so paint it to look like Airwolf.

$450usd for a small piece of foam with around $50 worth of parts??? This industry is killing the goose. Even compared to a camera drone where your getting 3 axis gimbal with good 4k camera, 4 motors and sensors everywhere. Just like the potensic Atom and that's around $300. This price just seems wrong.

I have this heli and I like it. For all of you mentioning the foam, the helicopter is not foam, it has a traditional heli frame under the foam. I will however say I would never recommend this to a beginner heli pilot. I bought it for a scale build and will rarely do any 3D flying with it, if ever. It is very stable and if you have some heli flying experience it is a nice heil to fly. I am not a great pilot but I have been flying helis for 15 years and have about 14 of them between nano to 700 size.

It's a sharp looking aircraft! It looks like a cross between Airwolf and the tail rotor of a Dauphin helicopter! Just sitting on the ground it looks fast. And judging from the maiden flight..it *is* fast. WIth cold air...you lose due to the effects of the cold on the battery, but you gain because of the density of the air increases the lift from the main rotor.

Now yall have a few helis now you two need to come to ircha this year or Cincinnati smackdown

Foam looks good definitely makes tail boom look better/realistic. Grey was a sad choice. Most definitely flew well, good maiden 👍👏👏👍. Good 🌞☀️🌞 day for maiden. ⚓️⚓️👍💛🧡💚👍👏👏☀️🌞👍⚓️⚓️.

I find helicopters easier to fly then air planes I even chased some people with a helicopter in the past

Always a pleasure watching you two kiddos!🙂

450 dollars is insane!!!

Great video and you flew that helicopter like a pro! I've enjoyed your videos over the years from the both of you!

Nice flying! Great work you two!

Looks like an old blade 450x mainframe,wrapped in Styrofoam!

It's important to have fun and learn those orientations, and will help one to learn about helicopters... I remember learning many years ago on the smallest blade msr-x but it was to small for outside unless there was no wind

This looks cool. Graupner had a foam heli a while back called the Funcopter.

Love that finestron anti-torque tail!

Love the way it looks! I'm the same about helos, I like the scale air frames rather than the pod and boom 3D models.

Been loving mine :) Love the long flights :)

Sounds like my 450 scale Flywing heli's. They are both 4s. But that's very cool. Less expensive batteries. The flywing Huey you flew has expo though. On the H1 assist program adjustable. Again very cool new heli.

My whole life ive been into rc planes big time, spent thousands amd flew hundreds of planes, im an ace at flying been flying 25 plus years, and i never thought about starting a RU-vid channelnto make up for the money ive spent, if i do and get has far as this channel, id be doing very well formyself.

Nate, its nice to see that you have taken some time to improve your helicopter skills. This review was pretty good and was enjoyable to watch you fly in a more professional way. I hope you will continue to fly this helicopter to continue to improve your flying skills, for that Nice Job !!! This blade heli is interesting I'm not sure if I like it or hate it. This future look is happening with a lot of manufactures but I wonder how durable that foam is especially when in a crash. My big worry is that tail boom snapping and ripping the wires out !! Not super crazy about the tail rotor, I guess they were going for a duct look, in the very beginning I thought that had a fenestron tail rotor. Hmm the price is a little steep at $450.00 . Maybe blade would be nice enough to send you another Eclipse 360 just so we can see the durability in a crash.

Thanks guys for another informative and enjoyable video and you have my almost most highest praise ( most highest praise always belongs to the the Lord almighty)for honoring and giving thanks to the most high Lord and master for so many blessing .this is the main reason I recommend your videos to others .good job and thanks for the clean content😊good day😊

Glad you like the manual! ;) Happy landings!

That thing looks sick!

Awesome helicopter and looks great in the air too awesome guys ❤

Abby and Nate, y'all rock! Love the channel and content. Peace 🤘 💥 ✌️

What a nice heli!! It’s refreshing to see something different. And it’s actually cool

All that needs is the airwolf paint scheme!

That’s definitely one I’m going to look at buying looks great in epo 🤙🏻

"Real" 3-D pilots probably get a chuckle out of your quick rolls then right back to safe mode. I on the other hand, admire your bravery cuz that's more than I would try! lol I'm on the fence on that one and it's foam body. Almost looks a tiny bit cheesy, and not crazy about the whole tail area. Looks like a lot of junk in the trunk. Kinda fat, ya know? Looks like it flies okay though. I just got a Fusion 360, and am working with that.

Seems like out of safe mode is basically a 3D flight mode that switches throttle to 60-80% throttle speed? Then it swaps the throttle stick to pitch mode instead? Throttle stick up iirc is pitch up for upward thrust and down throttle stick is pitch down for downward thrust for inverter flights. Only dabbled in it for a bit with my little 3D heli. Was too scared to do too much myself since I’m only used to scale flying. If I’m wrong please correct me anyone, and thanks ☺️👍🏻 Great video as always you guys! Keep ‘em coming! This heli looks cool for sure and I appreciate the full body fuselage/tail boom and futuristic looks of it. Also love that the tail rotor is enclosed for protection of those accidental ground taps upon take off and landing. 👍🏻

I like this move and design :)

I have the Ikarus jet ranger which was the OG foam Heli and am developing a whole range of scale foam bodies for 500 mechanicals

Great helicopter and review Saylor Team!

Check Multiplex Funcopter from a ways back. I like this, wish it were about $100 less in price, but I may have to be one anyway. I got ahold of an old funcopter a few years back and it flew pretty terribly...fixed pitch, etc. This one looks very good. I kind of like it due to added visibility and a bit of possible protection during a light crash.

19:25, when in the flight modes, your throttle is at a constant speed, mode 1, generally calmer, mode 2 higher head speed, and altitude controlled by left stick in the middle for "zero pitch", then you have full negative and positive pitch control. I do not fly in this mode, as I'm not good enough yet.

I think it's cool. It's different for sure. It won't be for everyone.. It's basically Blade 330 mechanics underneath a foam body with a direct drive tail motor. I don't need another helicopter (I have six from micro to 700) but I may get this one anyway for the fun/different factor.

Now that was some nice flying!

Nice chopper but without a rtf version i would not be able to set it up therefor it would not be a buy for me great flying though pretty cool looking machine.

super future helicopter cooooooooool

That is VERY interesting. And it opens some interesting options for scale helicopters in the future.

looks and flies great,really like it 👌😃😃👍👍

I think I wont buy weed this week.. Ill get one of these.

Loving the looks; got a bit of an Airwolf look to me. WWII helicopter Nate? ;-)

I the look of that one. Awesome

I have a 250 CFX. I love it. Not sure why they discontinued it.

Wow, very nice heli

Nice I loving it

It‘s just a copy of the Multiplex Foam Helikopter which had serious problems and is no more sold. Good Video, thank you!

Hi Rc Saylors Nate and Abby, Popeye 🐕👋😀. Not bad . You did did great Nate flying the helicopter. Lol I couldn't fly those things lol😂. The foam just throws me off lol. Thank you so much and God bless you and your family always

i really like this thing i want one! only thing i might do is spray paint it yellow and tail orange. silver is hard to see and tell which way its pointed. my main helis are 500 and 600 but this looks great to bust out at the park

That FOAM heli is Align T-Rex 300X Combo money, or an OMP Hobby M2 RTF 🧐

Enjoyed Review, Way 2 Much $ For most working Men. Cool Heli tho

good job Nate well done good Maiden

I bet to costs a lot,but it is a very cool looking chopper...😊

Magnifique cette hélicoptère 👍🐓🇨🇵 😉

Hey great heli. Like it. looks very good for begginers. 👍Other thing is I gave the 160th like. I always like to give a round numbered like. 😄

Hey guys nice vid thank you

Looks nice and for a beginner it might be fascination to fly a heli which looks a bit more like a "real" full size heli but it seems to be a bit expensive. The technology inside this foam body does not seem to be the most up to date. But if it brings in new people to heli flying it does a good job. Be careful with this changing from safe to 3D and back to safe.... it might once not work in the way you think. You will as well slower develop as a pilot because you are switching from "really" controlling the heli manually and getting help from the electronincs.

I compare this to the Eachine BlackHawk heli which is a try scale heli with direct drive and mine came with 3 batteries and ready to fly for the same price.

It looks awesome! Already trying to figure out how to paint the canopy brighter. My old eyes need some neon colors.

hope i can buy something like this cool helicopter

nice

That one looked nice and fun to fly, The weather here in So Calif has not been good lastnight wind started up and has been windy all day very bad blowing things over I kinda live outside so it was not fun my dog was just not happy with it at all but he's ok, I have a 80 lbs Pitbull he's a big baby he's a Rescue he lobe's everyone even the mail man he's a very good dog, anyways take care & God bless,Bye.

Super over-priced for a foam BNF. It looks so cheaply made too. The Flywing FW450 is a way, way better helicopter for similar money. Plus it comes with transmitter and battery. It's too bad Blade stuff is so overpriced for what you get. Should be about $169 in this day and age.

Looks like the frame underneath the main body is from the blade 400 and I see some of it's parts are compatible. I do like the fuselage giving more body, there's not enough helis with bodies. just a never ending flow of pod and stick with very few canopies that even look good. There are some from the F3P competition types that do full body but even those seem few. I like hard 3d helis but it can be hard with all the crashing and sometimes you just want to chill with a nice heli that has a full but slim body to it so it's not so skimpy but with some sporty performance as well. Though I do agree the tail is a bit pudgy for my taste, it doesn't need to be that thick to simulate fenestron.

That's weird you had a spin issue. My Infusion 180 had a spin, then caught itself going from safe to acro. It seemed like the tail couldn't figure out what to do. Saved it once and crashed it the 2nd time since I was too low. Rebuilding it 1 more time, locking out safe and trying again.

this would have been the most awesome toy in the 1980s.

Would be great for 300 bucks. But 500? Pass.

I use my Spektrum DX6 for all my airplanes, and the throttle stick has the ratchet notches, it's not a smooth slider unless I take the back of the radio off and remove the slider plate with a groove for the ratchet, then turn it around for the smooth side to fly this heli, but sure don't want to do all that changing from fly this heli then back to airplane. Will it fly and hold it's height pretty well with the throttles small incremental notches up & down?

Love the look. Nice flight time too. Don't care about the 3D capabilities. I would probably just keep it in safe or normal mode and fly it around all scale-like. Unfortunately, I kept an AMA membership for almost 10 years and it does not work like you describe. I'm not sure it even has a use outside of airfields that require it to fly. I've seen it used more to gatekeep the "old man's club" than anything else. I refuse to have it anymore and simply don't fly at fields that require it.

Too expensive for a foam helicopter!

yup

Thats the canopy from the Aero Scout

I was kinda expecting for that price for it to be a RTF. Im an OpenTX user here and dont want to mess with multiprotocol for larger aircraft
