Walkera Blazing Star 4-Channel Co-axial

[rtfheli]

4 out of 5



This 4-channel co-axial electric heli answer the large size co-axial which effectively competes with the E-SKY BIG Lama.

Pros:
1. One of the bigger co-axials under its class which can be flown outdoors under 5-10MPH wind conditions
2. Has dual metal rotor heads for added stability and low vibration during flight.
3. Can be upgraded to a better landing gear such as the Super Skids 400
4. Parts are compatiable with the Walkera HM 53#1 and 53#8.
5. A Flycam2 can be added on
6. Blades are interchangeable with the E-SKY BIG Lama, Exceed Blazing Star/Walkera HM53, HM 53#1, and HM53 #8.


Cons:
1. The two 370 carbon brushed motors heat up fast and are good for about 2-3 dozen flights before one motor or both motors start to fail causing spinning in on direction. This can be remedied with a twin brushless motor kit. See below.
3. The tail truss can break easy. This can be remdied with the portion of spare parts from the new Walkera HM 53#8.

Add my input as i have one it was my first.

1. This heli never really hovers properly always a slight drift. i think it might have to do with its balance to some degree.

2. the heli is not bad nice size easy to see far off, i will not say its a bad heli but for a coaxil i might recomend a blade mcpx as this heli does not like even mild breezes when your learning.

3. other then the tail it is well made and not to hard to work on. however like all helis the screws are very tiny. If i ever dig up my old repair post on that other site i will gladly add it here
