Buyer Reviews

I agree with Austin. It flies rather considerably like the S107 similar dimensions and visuals. The lighting is spectacular but what is cooler nonetheless is that you can turn it off from the controller to save battery life. The opposite button provides you added performance. Like the sideways drift that Austin mentioned, it's not a lot but it is noticeable and adds to the enjoyable of flying this neat little package. As you would expect, there's a rotary trim knob to appropriate any left / perfect rotation while hovering, flying forwards or backwards. My ONLY complaint is that you have to take your hand from the controls to adjust the knob. You will not need to do this often as the helicopter is quite stable and does not shed its trim conveniently once set. My favorite trim manage was on the Syma S009G which had left and perfect buttons to tap though flying. A completely eye and hands zero cost way to manage trim. One extra great feature of the Drift King control is the flashing green light though the manage is binding. In my scenario, this takes a superior half minute or extra but I know the activity is full as the green light becomes solid. Anyway, the box says "easy to fly" and that it is. I have not crashed the Drift King into anything but looking the small helicopter more than, it appears to be just as sturdy as the Syma counterpart which is rather robust. You get 1 added blade for the top and bottom coaxial, a spare tail rotor and an additional connect buckle. The instructions are a decent try at translation from Chinese but the helicopter hardly desires any of that if you have preceding knowledge with any coaxial toy helicopter. I liken this micro helicopter to what the Spaniards named a humming bird as they saw it for the 1st time - a flying jewel. The appearance of the Drift King is pretty appealing. The aluminum frame and nicely attached tail / boom fins make me believe I got really good quality for the revenue. Even the tail motor looks extra sturdy in its housing. The canopy is particularly appealing with an eye catching paint scheme. Nothing about the Drift King appears cheap or flimsy. Like the S107, it is a incredibly nicely believed out toy - quite appealing to the eye.
The rotor shaft separates the coaxial blades far enough apart that they will not interact. In other words, no danger of the best blades cracking on the lower ones. The controller needs six AA batteries, which are not included so be ready and purchase a package of new alkalines before you get a Drift King. I advocate that you do NOT use the controller to charge the Drift King. Use the black USB charging cord as an alternative. It glows red while charging which has an appealing glow inside the black USB plug. The LED shuts off when charging is complete and my brief encounter with charging is about 45 minutes. These times seem to vary and your mileage could be improved. You will have a slightly numerous action if you pick out to bleed the controller batteries with its separate / attached charging cord. The controller batteries will last for months if you do not charge the Drift King with them and I guarantee they will last no additional than a few days if you do. The controller charging is a superior feature if you take your helicopter exactly where there are no USB charging ports. Besides a laptop you do know that your cable / satellite box has a USB port that you can use to charge things don't you?
Like the S107, you require to be careful appropriate immediately after a complete charge. The readily available power can shoot the Drift King right to the ceiling with a small quantity of throttle. Speaking of which, it is a dead stick meaning there is no spring return for that axis and you can hover hands off the controls. This is unlike the S107 and can be a dilemma for people made use of to the "return to zero" throttle kind controls. The sideways axis manage is from this identical stick (mode 1). Drifting is a exclusive feature that requirements practice and I haven't discovered how JXD has achieved the capacity with a coaxial. The ZR Avatar makes use of two separate outrigger motors to attain this but JXD has figured a thing else out. Anyway, as you push the left side stick appropriate or left you must balance the throttle. A small even more challenging than it sounds but the drift function is not one thing you do by accident. There is spring tension on that axis but not the other. That suggests you ought to consciously move the stick left or appropriate when getting careful with the close to zero force up and down motion. Balancing throttle while drifting will be the most tricky portion of flying in this dimension.
Coaxial helicopters are absolutely nothing like hobbyist style fixed pitch single rotor helicopters in regard to flying. You get your feet wet with the controller axis and perspective as you turn toward your self but the sideways (4th channel) is not like flying a Blade mSR sideways. This is a really good issue if you just want some relaxing enjoyable. The spectacular light show that can be toggled on and off, the acceleration button and sideways drift capacity make this guy considerably unique from the S107. The price tag difference reflects this too. If you have a spare $40 or so, obtain this tiny flying jewel. It really is genuinely a step up in entertaining.

I bought this heli and actually liked it. I come across the build top quality to be very great. Particularly durable, has crashed hard lots and nevertheless goes and goes. I read exactly where alot of people like the Syma S107 and I bought that one to. Comparing the two of them I find that the S107 is especially stable but alot slower than the Drift King. Overall I really feel the Drift King is way more of a challenge but also a great deal more enjoyable.I rated 5 stars on educational since it has allowed me to get alot of flying time and that assists given that I have because purchased a Blade SR 120 that I fly outside. Two issues I should really add by reading alot more guidance web based I located out that you should certainly wait ten or 15 minutes to let the battery cool down after flying just before charging and also tun the switch to the off position before charging.
