welcome back to rc 101 with the taoistflyer today we're going to talk
about the avatars Z008 four channel RC helicopter now i picked this
up off ebay for about forty dollars it is a fully functional four channel
helicopter you've got your up down you've got your role left and role right
forward reversed and spin
however this is a mode one helicopter it is not a mode two helicopter
a little word on modes in the u_s_ we use mode two, that means that
your throttle is going to be on the left stick, throttle-up and down
and your spin is also going to be on the left stick
the right stick is reserved for forward and reverse and roll left and roll right
now with mode one however the controls are reversed so it's like taking your steering wheel
and your gas pedal and switching them around
so it a hurts your brain a little bit to fly if your used to flying mode 2
now mode one is traditionally used in europe
and australia but it is not used in the u_s_ mode one means the left stick has your
thrust up
and down
when you move up and down with it and left and right controls your role
left and right
mode too which is what we used in the u_s_ up-and-down controls up-and-down
and the left stick moving left and right makes the helicopter spin left and right
now considering the fact that i've been flying mode two for about three or
four years
and i've never really flown mode one before I've only had about ten flights on
this
I'm going to do my best to show you how this aircraft performs it is a very precise
aircraft it's really fast
it's got good forward reverse motion it's got a really precise spin
like i said i've never really flown mode one you pretty much decide either mode one
or mode two and stick with it
so it's kind of hurts my brain a little bit to fly this around but i'll try
and do my best to make it
as precise as i can show you the performance that it can actually give
now the flight times going to be about five minutes and the charge time from
the transmitter is about fifty minutes but if you use the included usb charger the
charge time is really only about twenty minutes so I suggest always using the usb
charger
don't charge off the transmitter and waste your batteries.
so let's go ahead and give you a little flight demonstration here
the best one I can give you like I said I've only had
five or six flights on mode one so
it may be a little twitchy compared to my normal flying we'll see what we can do
it does have a trim for the steering, it's pretty precise.
you can see that
the gyro that it has on it does have on it keeps it facing front pretty stably
I'll give it a little trim their
you see it actually it does roll left
and roll right
so as you can see for
a four channel it is pretty precise
unfortunately my mode one skills are not as good as my mode two skills
so it was a little shaky in the air
but I think I'm getting the hang of it ok
it is a gyro stabilized helicopter it really
is a fully functional four channel
it's a lot of fun to fly, it's really stable, it's easy to fly
the shipping did take a while it took about two-and-a-half weeks to get
out to me
but for forty dollars it's a fully functional four channel rc helicopter
and i know they're not riding on any famous James Cameron movies
with the avatar name our name anything like that. So that's the
Avatar Z008 four channel rc helicopter
