Hello everyone. As I have bought such a lot of rc helicopters I want to introduce you about this one I got several days ago. That’s the
Walkera Super FP rc helicopter.
Are you curious about the style? That’s so cool, isn't it?
The Walkera Super FP is the newest member of a new generation of Micro flybarless fixed-pitch helicopters, like the Blade MsrX and the Walkera V120 D01. Utilizing 3 axis gyros, these helicopters are great for beginners because of their simple rotor structures, efficiency and stable-yet-maneuverable flight performance. These flybarless fixed pitched birds sure have come a long way since the still relatively recent Solo Pro, MSR, Trex 100, V911 and 9958 helicopters (which are also fixed pitched but aren’t as maneuverable) Flybar strikes and the toilet bowl effect are things of the past.
So if you have ever bought any Walkera Rc Helicopter,you will understand how amazing it is. The servos are precise and responsive. They are controlled by the board though, so these are 5 wire servos instead of the standard 3 wire servos. I hope that this means servos are cheaper, but we'll have to see about that.
The tail holds true and the rudder responds very well. Some said that the servos might be a little sluggish since they are controlled by the main board.. but that wasn't an issue at all. I did find that there wasn't enough throw on the ailerons when I did fast turns... so I might change the settings on my 8S... but in my opinion, the Super FP RTF package is more than enough to teach
beginners the basics.
Highlights:
1. Simple airframe and composite plastic material make Super FP more light and durable.
2. Flexile and durable plastic rotor blades with highly precise swashplate.
3. Intergrated and durable canopy is designed extractively.
4. Convenient disassembling skid landing make it easier to operate.
5. Intergrated servo and receiver makes the control speed faster and preciser
6. 3-Axis Gyro control which makes flight stable is suitable for the beginners
It's great weather for flying here in Beijing. There's barely any wind during the day and so I put 6 AA batteries in the stock transmitter and charged the 240 mah battery.
With the trims centered, the Super FP lifted off the ground with ease. It was perfectly trimmed out of the factory and I took it up for some FFF testing. Previously, my only experience with FBL FP helis was with the V200D01. It was great but had some odd flying characteristics that I just couldn't tune out.I was expecting the same thing with the Super FP but found that it tracks straight in forward flight, doesn't have the V200's tendency of bobbing up during fast forward flight...and is surprisingly fast. I'd describe it's flying characteristics as “Similar to the Mini CP under normal mode.” The only difference being that there's a slight wobble if you bring the RPMs down real low...which seems to be a common characteristic of all flybarless FP helicopters.
All in all, the FP is a joy to fly and I think it'll be replacing my Mini CP for most flights from now on. The only complaint I have with this heli is of it's short flight time. I got around 3,4 minutes with the stock 240 mah battery (beeps at 3.5 volts). Hope my 400mah batteries (on their way!) would provide longer flights.
I do love the look of the new canopy. It looks great just sitting on my table. Let’s hope it fly’s as well as it looks!So if you wanna one as me,you can go to the shop rctophobby.
