Super Mod & DEAL KING!
So.. been in the hobby fir 7 years now, and I have always just had this perception that WL toys, Syma, and XK and such are just junk companies , all because of my experience with the honey bey Fixed Pitch heli . Which was my first real heli after the Airhogs got me into this hobby. I consider all those in the same china made BAD..
But recently in search of a good durable and well flying micro, I started reading, and stumbled onto these two micros
XK K110 Beast (BL main and brushed Tail)
and
HiSky HCP100s (Assault 100s ,WL977 all the same) (Double Brushless)
All my reading showed that anyone who did venture to buy these birds was VERY happy with them. Crashes are under a dollar each , and the birds are EXTREMELY durable.
The only issue was, that the K110 talks its own radio language, and Futaba s-fhss, NOT spektrum complaint
HCP100s can work with a satellite added to it.
They both are VERY cheap to buy like $50-$60 bucks BNF and no more than $80-90 RTF.
I recieved both the birds, and I have to first say the K110 is a champ!! it is extremely durable. I have went full throttle into concrete many times and just picked it up , dusted it, popped in the main gear and flew.
The tail on the K110 is rock SOLID! I have not had one blowout! it is amazing.. I run 70% pitch and its great.. I would highly recommend this bird to anyone wanting to learn inverted and basic 3D and collective management, this bird is amazing. Parts are CHEAP. the most expensive part : the board : is 30 bucks. I could not believe my eyes when i saw the part costs for myself.
ALSO , the K110 has a 6G mode that is like flying a nanoCPS or a wuad as it self stabilizes and very helpful in learning basics. .I say this bird is an overall champ..
HCP100s is a 2S BEAST!! it is raw power!!! it is a bird that you throw smack 3D on! tail is again rock solid and very locked in
BOTH the birds are built like beasts! and are MUCH stronger than any Blade micro I have flown, and for the part costs at 1/4 or less !!! I mean you can just buy a 50 dollar replacement BNF anytime if you total it!
Banggood, Aliexpress, and tomtop have it and they many times have them available in the US warehouse.
Keep an eye out for these..
To make it simpler, and have one radio for all my small birds, I actually got a Walkera Devo10 and added a 4in1 in it, and "deviation" FW.. which is opensource firmware... So in addition to my trusty JR that talks only DSM2/x, I have a radio that speaks Syma, Hisky,Futaba, and 180 more languages!! More about the Devo10 and its modification later.
I will post videos and pics here soon! I am just having way too much fun, as now I have birds i can fly inside when its raining or winter time!
