Read First Before Buy V911 Upgraded battery pcs combo
If you want something that looks more realistic and can be flown indoors or outdoors, but you're a novice, this is a great choice for you.
You should be reasonably competent with your $25.00 binary 3 channel before you attempt this one and you should keep in mind it's dynamics are a little different, i.e. there's no slow gradual lifting off it seems. You have to advance the throttle with some authority, then reduce it without delay once it's airborne. If you try a gentle lift-off it wants to simply skid off and collide with something hard. I started out with little tiny hops on my pool table surface and I still do that sometimes as a warm up.
Probably best to do first flights outdoors because ceilings and nearby objects like furniture are a problem, but watch the altitude and the wind. It will quickly become a dot in the sky and head for the nearest tree.
This seems to be the same helicopter sold by other vendors as the V911. I know it's rotor and balance bar are interchangeable with WL Products V911 and at a lower price than Brookstone charges for just the rotor, tail prop, and links. I believe the undercarriage is also interchangeable and I will find out soon for sure, having just broken mine. I've also read that a complete helicopter without transmitter can be bought for something like $30.00
This appears to be the only one that is both 3 and 4 channel though and that is an advantage since you can get familiar with it in 3 channel before transitioning to 4.
Overall I would recommend this helicopter if you're really enthusiastic and can live with the inevitable parts replacements.
I get about 3 more minutes flight time in my V911 helicopter. Actually makes it easier to fly due to the weight.
BalasHapusGot these to increase the amount flight time on my V-911 helicopter.. they fit perfectly and considerably increase the flight time.. Keeps the helo up longer !
BalasHapusLonger flying time, more fun with my V911!
BalasHapusWith the regular batteries the heli came with, I can get 5 mins of fly time. These upgraded version give you up to 8 mins of fun.
Great item works as promised! and not only that but it lasts longer than the stock batteries although it is a bit heavier so you may have to adjust for the added weight
BalasHapusSeller sent the correct item, these DO have the New v911 connectors!
BalasHapusThey Charge as fast as the tiny stock 130mah,
But provides MUCH longer run times!
These are about a quarter longer than the stock batteries but
seems to balance the copter better than stock.
Thumbs up!
Great to see more and more Mod parts for the now legendary V911!
Helps controller performance, maybe a little more power. Extra weight improves stability outside and with the improved reaction I am having a lot of fun.

BalasHapusThe Brookstone helicopter only came with one battery so I thought I would give these a try. They fit perfectly and I like the added wait and increased flying time. I am able to fly outside with more wind without any problems.
