Thank you!!! I have this S1 Heli, its my first heli and I was not sure how all of the switches functioned. The manual doesn't even tell you what the switches actually do. You are so far the only You Tube video that explains what all of the switches do! Thanks to you, I now know!!!!
Thumbs up. More people should care about small helicopters for their natural high endurance of flight time. I modified my 230s to become a FPV helicopter at 249 grams and HD onboard video recording that flips and snaps with 35 minutes of flight time per charge. No quads under 250 grams can ever beat that, not even professionally designed DJI. They either have to change a battery and going over 250 grams, or they have to turn off HD video and turn off FPV and navigation and make the drone fly in a circle at constant speed to get that advertised 35 minutes per charge, and even then, they can't snap or flip.
The great thing in these little helis is that they take crashes so well as you describe it in your video! I do all my new maneuvers with my small OMP M1 Evo's and use them like a simulator in the real world. In most of the cases after a crash over grass you just pick the little bird up and it flies again. And it's fascinating that they are a capable as the bigger ones! Great video! Thanks!
Thanks very much. I used to own an M1 and it was a great little heli. One thing I like about Goosky better than OMP is no requirement to remove the canopy for battery changes.
I've got over 80 flights on this now and have not yet touched any of the settings. I'm sure I'll play around with it one day but to answer your question, absolutely fine to fly straight out of the box.
I fly large helicopters, primarily SAB Krakens, and after owning a Blade 180 "for fun" I pretty much swore off micro helis because it was so bad. A buddy of mine I fly the with got an S1 one and he loves it and swears by it. He loves it so much he bought two and is now willing to sell his second one to me which I think I'll buy because he is an outstanding 3D pilot and I trust his word.
I've never thought much of the Blade helis, they feel very much an intro/budget item compared to Goosky. I also fly larger Heli's inlcuding a Kraken 700 3 Blade, RAW 700 and SAB Maverick.
How to configure the T8 control on this helicopter? my t8 can't bind on this goosky S1 model If anyone knows, please send me step by step instructions so I can get him to respond to the control, please?
The procedure is clearly laid out in the manual. Turn on the the transmitter then turn power up the helicopter then press the bind button three times on the helicopter flight controller. manuals.plus/goosky/t8-lengend-s2-mode-2-transmitter-manual
I just absolutely smashed this thing into a pillar, the battery came out and the blades are scratched. Put the battery back in, the blades were loose but were no problem. Went straight up.
Great video! I'm having some trouble trimming mine. It's nearly impossible to fly. I am aware of calibration mode but it barely wants to lift off the ground in the first place, on top of that it's spinning and tilting.
Trimming a modern flybarless 3D helicopter is not really something you do or required. If you're trying to fly it in stabilised mode, you'll still need to make corrections to keep it steady or it will drift. But it sounds like you have some other issue to deal with since you're having issues trying to take off. Are you using the Ready To Fly or the Bind and Fly version?
@@lowvo see if you can find an RC aero club nearby and give them a look. Mine and everyone else I know with one of these they worked perfectly straight out of the box. If you bought it new I'd suggest returning it. Maybe join a Goosky users page on Facebook and post up a video of what it's doing. I'm on the Goosky Legend S2 and S1 page, plenty of people there that will help. RC Heli Hangout is another good page too.
Karl, very good review, have a few quick questions for you though and your inputs would be appreciated-I have only flown helis like Flywing uh1 v3 and 450vl v3 in gps mode for past 6 months, and all I want is scale flying without 3d- and intending to get either s1 or s2. 1. If I get say s1 in rtf, can I use the same transmitter to bind it to the BNF s2 kit to save money? 2. In the Bluetooth app, the settings are default at 50%, can I lower it down even more to say 25% to tame the helis even more?
Yes you certainly can bind the transmitter that comes with the S1 RTF with the S2. I’ve done this with my S2 and it works very well which I also covered in this video. Only limitation is the lack of ability to adjust pitch and throttle curves, but for what you want to achieve the settings in the S1 transmitter will be just fine. With the Bluetooth tuning you can lower the settings to make the model less or more responsive to your liking, however I found it flies quite well straight out of the box. I still run all 3 of my Goosky Helis with default settings.
I got this same RTF kit and the transmitter won’t turn on u less it’s connected to a charger. I let it charge for hours and it shows a full charge but when removed it won’t turn on at all. Any suggestions?
Without any sort of positioning instrument (like a GPS) it's impossible for a modern 3D RC Helicopter to maintain a hovering point without touching the controls. Just like a real helicopter you need to give continous fine inputs to maintain position.
