Blade S 120, the mini test

They are rare, helicopters, a multirotors family (yes there are 2) completely stifled by the devices 4 or more screws. It must be said that flying a helicopter is Earned. The Blade 120 S may well be the successor of the Blade SR 120 with a flight controller that offers better stability, we must give of himself to keep flying. Unable to release the controls for a steady, we must constantly counter the excesses. But that's part of what makes the beauty of helicopter flights and pleasure to pilot. That is what Blade 120 S? Note that the unit has been lent us by Net Entertainment shop. As usual, tell us if you think that the practice has influenced our judgment.

On the exterior, the Blade 120 S, looks like two drops of water Blade 120SR, which dates from 2010. 6 years in the world of multirotors, is an eternity! Even look with a similar fairing, but green instead of yellow, the same white plastic crown even brushed main motor, even tail rotor. Only by studying the machine except that there are some differences. The main ? The bar Bell is gone, the Blade 120 S is an apparatus called flybarless, which owes its stability to the working edge electronics. The main rotor, fixed pitch, has a diameter of 33 cm (instead of 31.8 on the SR 120). The battery is a 3.7V Lipo 1S 500 mAh 25C. The charge with a USB connector, takes about 70 minutes. The radio is supplied MLP6DSM, type of game console. But you can pair the S Blade 120 with a compatible remote control or DSM2 DSMX.

The Blade 120 S easily detached, but we feel from the first seconds that lack of energy. Its brushed motor, legacy, suffers from inertia that does not allow him to rise sharply or down quickly - at least not with the ability to deliver the gas satisfactorily. DSC_0532-1200Il responds well to commands, but that's not a nervous apparatus. Its steering is practiced so smoothly, especially by anticipating as much as possible. We noted a slight oscillation of the tail rotor. It does not affect the flight, but it is not very nice to see. Battery life is approximately 6 minutes. Outside, the Blade 120 S flies well ... if there is no wind. With gusts, it quickly to the trouble ... This is a somewhat imposing machine to fly indoor (apartment), too feeble for the outside. His favorite area is a gymnasium ...

By default, the control mode is beginner. It is possible to change the mode to enjoy Intermediate deflections slightly larger and thus gain in nervousness. Warning, this allows forward-backward, left-right translate more quickly, but not to win power for gases. DSC_0528-1200Il must therefore anticipate more movement. But this mode of flying outside with a light breeze. A final mode, Expert, disconnects stabilization. This is the most interesting mode, the two previous offering assistance to stabilize a bit too present. This mode allows to pass simple aerobatics such as drums and loops, but the lack of occasions for handicapping is really fun - better to get high to get started. The button "Panic" of the radio control stabilizes the 120 S Blade if you lose control - it's a pretty effective depending on Expert. But still need to be high enough so that recovery can occur.

Additionally, if you happen need to purchase some of the rc heli parts, you could choose Banggood, which is one of the wholesale platform to provide you affordable prices, such as  honeybee helicopter parts, kds 450 helicopter parts, etc.
