Starkid 68013 - IR Goshawk 3.0 3-Channel Helicopter in aluminum case (Toys)

Customer Review

The Goshawk 3.o is a very good entry-level helicopter. It is easy and precise to fly. This is partly due to the co-axial rotor technology and gyro stabilization function, but I think it is mainly due also to the good balancing and quality workmanship.
The chassis consists partly of aluminum and the balance consisting of plastic. Therefore, the Goshawk is nice and light and the battery lasts for a couple of charge cycles the promised 10 minutes flight time (without the switched-LEDs).
What I personally liked a lot is that the Goshawk is not so exaggerated colorful. He is kept in a matt black. This come the red and blue flashing LEDs on the sides very good effect.
Apart from the exterior, it offers, especially beginners flight, a huge fun. Unfortunately pass the 10 minute flight time, as in the "flight". Then it's natürtlich recharge. This may take about 30 minutes. Then, the fun continues unabated but !!!!
Through the beautiful aluminum case with plexiglass cover it is super as a gift.
From me there is an absolute buy recommendation!

If interested, please read my review in detail:

---- Materials and workmanship ----
As mentioned in the input text, the chassis of the Goshawk is partly made of aluminum. Deformations are to be expected there as fast. Furthermore, the aluminum offers the helicopter a certain lightness that comes the flight duration to Good. The rest is made of sturdy, clean processed plastic.
The Goshawk is the one and the other crash survived already without prejudice. Here and there you can see a small dent on the wing, but the stable flight characteristics it did not detract. The wings can be, and replace if necessary.

The remote control is made entirely of plastic and seems a bit simply. She is very good in the hand and all buttons and Steuerknüppelchen can be operated properly. I especially like the small rotating wheel for trimming. This is so very easy and quick to accomplish. It is operated with 6 AA batteries which are included. The charging cable is located at the back and is just under 10 cm a little short, but adequate. Furthermore, a USB charging cable is included.

---- ---- Flight characteristics
The Goshawk is actually "ready-to-fly". After charging just have to turn it on. The LED's will flash. After you activate the remote control and the left joystick has only briefly down and move up and then he starts.
Trimming proved very easy as. Either you immediately move him into the air and trims him on the wheel, or if one is a little anxious, is allowed to stand it on a smooth floor and is so much thrust, so that he not be heard above, but already can rotate. Then trim it until it is in one place.
I'm not exactly the most sensitive, but I have managed to trim the Goshawk within seconds and keep it suspended in the air.

Now you already leads from light maneuvers. Over time, you will always be courageous and can let him land on coasters or chair arms to circle the chandelier, or explore the apartment with him.

But you have to remember that he gets thrust upwards by the air swirls down and then pressed him by the resistance upwards (so I now did not understand my own scribblings, but maybe you know what I mean). Anyway, by this behavior of the helicopter very vulnerable when changing the "Soil properties". When he flies from the floor on the table, or must have the chair to readjust something, because he then continues to rise upwards.
The same applies if you are pushing him forward. The engine gets a little more strength and he is flying not only forward, but also increases a little higher.

Should you nevertheless times to come close to the ceiling, you just have to take a little boost, but not so much that he bangs on the floor. But you can at any time with further pushing back field.
Is he coming to a wall near, or other object, take the thrust just gone. Crashes he is so far very good. Better a deliberate crash, as if he tumbles to the rotors somewhere along schrabbelt and possibly with several somersaults through the area.

It should be understood even by itself, that one should not get too close to the helicopter humans and animals. The rotors are very fast. Although the plastic of the rotors is not sharp, but injuries could be under certain circumstances.

Conclusion ---- ----

The flight characteristics are stable and the control so simple that never comes frustration.
I highly recommend him !!!!
