Video Summary
AI GeneratedThe RC Era C170 AH-64 Apache is a 1/48 scale micro helicopter that offers impressive stability and ease of use. Featuring auto takeoff and landing, it is highly accessible for beginners. While it performs well in high winds outdoors, it is exceptionally smooth indoors on low-speed mode, making it an ideal choice for those without prior RC flight experience.
So having done the outdoor flight test of the RC Era C170 it's about time I did it indoors and
it's bound to fly a lot smoother because last time I flew it outdoors it was blowing up to about 25
miles an hour and I was flying around in the high speed mode obviously and it flew pretty well I
have to say but still was challenging but for a micro helicopter it performed amazingly well.
Now just a reminder this comes with everything you need in the box to fly it except the four
double A's you need to put in the radio transmitter so you can order it with one,
two or three batteries I believe. I recommend buying it with at least two otherwise you'll
be charging up on time but the flight time was really good actually I did two flights on that
day in the in the winds and it flew for at least 10 minutes in in total which is really good for
such a small small helicopter. You do have to put on the horizontal stabilizer at the back
and the missiles and rocket launchers on either side that doesn't take too long you need to take
them off again to put it back in the box but I'm interested to see how well this flies indoors
on the low speed mode so let's try that now. Okay so to remind you when you put in the
the battery it turns on straight away so have your radio transmitter turned on first
plug in the battery the battery cover slots on from the back pinch those together and push down
make sure they are clicked in place and you're ready to go. Space out the blades
then on the transmitter up down and it is bound and we are ready to take off.
Okay this time auto take off
and also landing.
So there you go that's RC Era's C-170 148 scale AH-64 Apache attack helicopter.
I think that flew brilliantly indoors it's a stabilized helicopter so it does fly flat you
know it doesn't bank over that much but if you're not a trained RC helicopter pilot then this flies
brilliantly for you and if you've got no experience of flying RC helicopters again
you would find it pretty easy because you also have auto takeoff and auto landing.
Great scale detail on this it's a bit of a pain that you do have to put the
horizontal stabilizer in and the rocket launcher and missiles on either side but that only takes
a few seconds a minor downside of this AH-64 Apache but I was really impressed how it flew
indoors on that low speed mode really smooth the rates are absolutely spot on on the sticks
on the low speed mode if you're in a bigger space you'd probably go up to the medium or
the high speed modes but in this space absolutely perfect on low speed mode.
So the link for this is in the video description and the pinned comment
as always thanks for watching Essential RC and hope we'll see you again next time bye.
