Have now already the second helicopter. The first has turned wildly after approximately 6 minutes flight around its own axis and is 20 meters high slammed into the field from approx. Total loss. Great introduction to hobby ;-) The tail rotor has obviously turned off completely. Ok, complained in Horizon, a week later to get a brand new 200, as a goodwill gesture. Well, onto the field with the new. Lo and behold, the same problem! After 5 minutes of brisk round trip (stage 2 and definitely not the maximum!), I just wanted to start landing, tail loss, pirouettes, no control. The main rotor was still running, but it looked only from halfway through force. Panic switch did nothing. I then just continue full speed given to the case decelerate somewhat, height of 2 meters, I then removed the gas completely. The whole thing has probably saved him, this time he has survived with no visible damage. After the red light has flashed. After a minute she was blue again and the helicopter to go again !? Battery power for every crash was about 70%. So, am really disappointed in any case. Especially if you take a read through various Internet forums ... there is repeatedly pointed to such problems. It seems possibly to be due to a poorly tuned or unsuitable ESC (which obviously comes with the loss of power from the battery is not clear which inevitably sets in after a while). Since the manufacturer would normally react finally time! Since this is also a threat to human health. Instead, the model is easily sold on. I do not know what I should do now with the helicopter. Every time you will fly with an uneasy Gefühl- he might indeed at any time fall down like a stone. Maybe it gets even anyone or anything. 2 stars, I give the following basic remains the heli in the air, then he flies really great and makes a lot of fun. Flew at Wingeschwindigkeiten of about 12-14 km / h and it has still folded neatly. Engine power is sufficiently definite yet, you can even put on 200% this. Of this I'd rather take the above mentioned reasons, but distance. If the problems with the controller would not know the little I'd even get 5 stars. But it's just a shame and annoying.
Addendum: In the meantime I had the 3rd crash. This time, after one minute. Again tail rotor failure followed by a total loss. Again exchange through the dealer as a goodwill gesture. This time they have the error apparently examined more closely and have come to the conclusion that the plug was well connected in the wrong direction from the tail rotor (at the factory). From an individual case as well as we can not speak. As I said, a total of 3 crashes, 2 geschrottete Helis. Then one can only hope that the helicopters of the concerned batch are checked in the future before resale to the end customer on this deficiency ...
