REVIEW - 2.4GHz WALKERA GENIUS CP V2 6-AXIS FLYBARLESS

[rtfheli]

THIS IS ONE OF WALKERA SMALLEST FLYBARLESS COLLECTIVE PITCHED (CP) R/C HELICOPTERS. THE V2 MODEL INCORPORATES THE NEW 6-AXIS GYRO WHICH IS AN UPGRADE FROM THE V1 MODEL WHICH USED A 3-AXIS GYRO. THE AUTO STABILIZING TECHNOLOGY (AST) IS SUPER STABLE WHEN USING THE 6-AXIS GYRO. THERE IS ALSO A HARD SWITCH ON THE RX TO FLIP BETWEEN 3-AXIS AND 6-AXIS.

WALKERA DECIDED TO USE COMPOSITE PLASTICS WHICH MAKES THE HELICOPTER MORE DURABLE. THE MAIN GEAR TEETH ARE ALSO LARGER OFFERING LESS LIKELYHOOD OF GEAR STRIPPING ON MINOR CRASHES.

THIS HELICOPTER ALSO COMES WITH A TOTALLY BRUSHLESS UPGRADE FROM WALKERA AND XTREME PRODUCTIONS HAS A METAL ROTOR HEAD UPGRADE FOR THOSE WHO REQUIRE LESS SLOP WHEN PERFORMING 3-D MANEUVERS.

THE WALKERA GENIUS CP V2 WILL BIND TO MOST 6-CHANNEL OR HIGHER WALKERA TRANSMITTERS SUCH AS THE DEVO 7, 7E, F7, 8S, 10, AND/OR 12S TRANSMITTERS.

USERS WHO ARE THINKING ABOUT GETTING A SMALL FLYBARLESS CP HELICOPTER FOR FLYING INDOORS OR IN SMALL TIGHT SPACES, CONSIDER THE WALKERA GENIUS CP V2.

Hey RTF good job hows it going??

[rtfheli]

Thanks. Its a video that I had for awhile and didn't have a chance to format/edit. I finally had time to upload.

Business is okay. Could be better.

This FORUM seems to be very quite. Is everyone done flying

[Raygun]

It would appear everyone stopped at once I think 19000 still does I do but very little I have been thinking about getting back to it. Ray

I guess the price of this stuff went higher and higher. I think Walkera, Eflite, and Align need to make lower cost models. They appear to be making expensive models that have priced themselves out of the mainstream market place. I see WL, SYMA, and other players moving in to fill the low to middle end market. Technology also knocked out the co-axial helicopter in favor of flybarless and small quadcopters that fly like a co-axial.

[Raygun]

I think your right the quads fly like a coaxial but they can be taken out in a wind. Ray

Yep, I'm still flying some of the conventional helis and some quads too. I',m getting awfully spoiled by the stabilization systems. The real focus of the hobby is on quads and FPV now. I haven't ventured into the FPV; I have enough to keep me busy.
