Most Popular on Double Horse 9100 3 Channel Helicopter
This is the first helicopter that I have ever flow and so far it's been a blast. Seeing that I have replaced a couple of parts on it, I would have to say it may not be the best starter helicopter out there, unless you really take your time with it and make sure it is a clam day. I did a little research on it pulling left and found a great website explaining why that is, but Amazon will not allow links. :-( but if you Google reviews and read killbuckets review you will see this is common in all helicopters of this kind. So please educate yourself before giving this helicopter a one star please. This is turning out to be a great new hobby and can't wait to upgrade to a four-channel helicopter, but I'm sure that's not till quit a few more crashes . :-)
Happy Flying!
Ok, I have upgraded to a four channel helicopter, the Blade 120sr. I still like the Double Horse 9100 and it a great place to start, but it is really only a toy compared to a four channel bird. Being able to move the helicopter left and right makes it a whole new game. It is harder to get use the extra channel but once you do you get lots more control of the bird.
One think I really like about the Blade is that you can get parts locally, and they are cheaper and no shipping charges.
Not tiring to say the Double Horse is not any good, I still give it its 5 stars, and its a great cheap starter helicopter to see if you like the hobby and want to put a little more money into it.
The helo works great, handles well and is very fast and responsive. Would recommend it to anyone wanting some inexpensive fun.
BalasHapusGreat 3ch helicopter. I just need to get all of the bugs worked out. This is one tough helicopter. Cannot though for the inexpensive pricetag.

I have been trying to learn how to fly rc helicopters now for 1 year. I have at least 14 broken heli's around my house, but now I have a lot of experience, and I can fly a 4ch. So, anybody who is wanting to get started flying rc helicopters, here's is a few pointers that I can pass on to you.
BalasHapus1. Start out with a Syma s107 3 ch. this is hands-down the best 3ch heli, very accurate.
2. Next heli would be a Mini-X 6025, this is a tiny 4"long, 3ch heli. These little heli's are extremely accurate, cute, and so much fun to fly.
3. Now, the Double Horse "Hover" 3ch 9100 Helicopter. These heli's are a little harder to fly, but with a little practise you will get-it. This is actually a 3ch collective- pitch heli. Now after you can fly this heli with confidence ,, you will be good enough to move up to just about any 4ch co-axial heli, which is a 4ch heli with the double-blades.
Esky Big Lama 4ch is a great heli for out-side to fly. Blade MCX is a good 4ch to start out with inside. I sincerely hope some of this experience will help someone else that is getting started in the rc heli's. Good Luck!!! and have fun.
BalasHapusFirst off 3 channel! much easier than 4 channel, next only 1 rotor blade! so it looks cool! 3rd. This thing flies great! controls, left stick is up down (controlled by rotor speed) right stick is forward backward and turns the tail left and right, the trim knobs work great to controll unwanted rotation or forward or reverse motion. I tried 6 channel crashed it, 4 channel also tough. I flew 3 channel twin rotor they were fun and easy perfect for beginner but they lacked forward and reverse thrust. The double horse takes care of this! would recommend..
BalasHapusI just picked one of these up. Started with a S107 indoor heli. This helicopter is very easy to fly. Mine is very stable with no drifting at all. Pretty fast too when your only used to the little guys. I would recommend to anyone new to the hobby looking for a good quality inexpensive heli. In fact I am ordering another.
BalasHapusThis heli is awesome. I have been looking at it on the internet for 3 or 4 months reading the reviews and thinking it was just hype.It's NOT! I got into this hobby when I brought a mini-copter from a friend 6 months ago and have been hooked ever since. Even though I've only been flying about 6 months, and I don't have a lot of flying experience, right out of the box this chopper is easy for me to fly. All I had to do was adjust the trim on the control and I was in the air and boy was I flying.I found myself in my back yard laughing like a kid screaming WHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! This thing really moves! I have not had the chance yet but I will be taking this thing to the biggest field I can find so I can really open her up and let her rip.The response on this thing is incredible and for the first time since getting into this hobby I felt like I was flying a real RC Helicopter.It takes about 90 min to charge the battery but you get at least 10 strong mins of flight. For those of you, like me, who have only flown the "Co-axial" tpye choppers with two mian rotors don't worry. This chopper is as stable and easy to control as any co-axial although I would not recomend this for anyone with no flight experince because of it speed (start with a mini co-axial first).If you are thinking about buying this chopper go ahead. It's Well worth the money and you won't be disappointed.
BalasHapusThis is the most advanced and forward thinking 3 channel heli I have ever flown. Great responsiveness and it even banks like a four channel heli. Great build quality and design. I am very excited about this heli....ordered another one today. Only down side is that this model is brand new so product support such as parts are going to be a lot harder to find. Like what I have seen so far when flying it. Trim levels are easy enough to adjust and the hovering on this model is very stable for a single blade configuration. The speed on this thing is definitely past what any other three channel has to offer. The characteristics are far more like a 4 channel with servos that affect the pitch of the blades, vs every other 3 channel that is fixed blade and usually a coax/ double blade configuration.
BalasHapusI would not recommend this heli to someone who has never flown a rc helicopter. Start with another Syma Heli, there is a mini s107, regular double horse which is roughly the same size as this one and the volitation which is 26 inches, a fairly large heli. The volitation is great for beginners as well as the s107. I own both and they provide a stable platform to work with while learning to control rc choppers. Both don't take kindly to light winds, but besides that they are great to fly. All syma's have lights found throughout the frame of the chopper. Night flying with any of these models has to be my favorite pastime. I hope you enjoy this addictive hobby and happy flying regardless of what ever model you choose.
