Went and picked up my GT 5889 from Hellyflyer on the 12th. Thought it might be a good step up for me from my tiny NE Solo Pro V before I tackle a 6 ch. Had a hard time finding his place in Vikaspuri but once there, it was a pleasure to meet him and talk to him. We spent almost and hour chatting about things and he really came across as a very forthright young man. I have been laid up with the viral since and haven't been able to take the 5889 out as yet but I am sure if I have any problems I can count on Hellyflyer to help me sort them out.

Finally managed to try out the GT 5889. It proved to be very easy to fly even for a complete beginner like me. Got about 6 mins of indoor hover time on a fully charged lipo. Definitely need to have two more  charged lipos ready. have ordered them. The heli vibrates quite a bit when spooling  up (was a little worried) but smoothes out at higher rpm. Maybe because of the extremely loose rotor blades (rotor lag?). Needed some trimming to start with. Seems like a great step up from my tiny NE Solo ProV. Should prove a good economical substitute to the Walkera 4#6.

Sir, please post a video if possible. I think the lipo's performance will increase after a few cycles because I get about 8 mins of flight time with the stock lipo which I think is the maximum continuous flight that I can achieve with the heli, it gets really hot at the end so I don't want to stretch it and fry the electronics.

Thanks Rohit. I am quite happy with the heli. But will check out the flight time after a few more flights. Also will try and do a video sometime.

Cool you guys are having fun, Im waiting for mine to arrive  

You will soon have fun!

Sunny,

Here is the one booked for you  , I am sorry but I will only be able to ship it on Monday as I totally forgot that my courier service is OFF on sundays 

No problem at all Amit and thanks for the red one ,it looks uber cool 

I received the heli yesterday  , had to face a bit of trouble during transition,but it seemed very little with Hellyflyer (Amit) on my side  . His support was 100% all the way.Inspite of the thing being packed very well as there were no physical damage,I found the throttle stick of the transmitter wasn't responsive, but when i opened it I found there was a loose contact between the pot and the board. I then immediately resoldered the links and then it was good as new  . It was possibly caused by the surface transition as the heli was rejected from the airport. To conclude the heli is very impressive.

Thanks Amit for this wonderful heli 

Hi All,

As requested check out Blade flexibility test for this Tough Heli

Hellyflyer

Received the 8005, 8004 and the Camo kite in good condition.

Tested the 8004, it seems PERFECT! Haven't had the guts to test the 8005 as yet - IT IS HUGE!

Thanks again Amit.

Hey Thanks for the confirmation VC 

May i ask,
Does this heli remote have a Sim port, which can be used to connect to PC , on which simulation software is installed ?

also Are the spares for this Heli available with you HellyFlyer ?

What would be the mode of payment ?

Thanks in advance

Hi Gaurav,

No the Remote does not have a sim port

No, I do not carry spares for this Heli but spares are available online, also this heli comes with a spare set of main blades

mode of payment would either be bank transfer or cash diposit

Thanks

I have recieved my heli yesterday. very nice FP heli to start with. tried to do some hovering but seems a little difficult as amit told me dont try it indoor in starting as it may crsh to the walls & other objects & it needs an open space. will post the pics & video very soon.

I want extra battery for this heli. stock battery is 7.4V 850 mah. can I go for 7.4v with 1000mah or more ampearage battery.

Hi Gopal,

Yes you can use a 7.4v 1000 mah 2 cell battery if you can manage the same diamensions with it.
