  • I have the 230S Smart as well and I was constantly having to adjust the trim due to constant drift, all to little avail. I had never heard of the trim flight until I saw your video. I immediately went out and tried it and all I can say is thanks a bunch. The heli now flies almost hands free. Works like a miracle!

    Funny how the manual that comes with the 230s smart, doesn’t explain how to get into trim mode. Thanks for showing this! Took 2 attempts, but now the heli flys so much better! Before this I had a bad drift to the aft and left. It would also pitch forward hard when coming out of idle up back into smart mode. Now all is well. Pirouettes are solid. Thank you 🙏

    Great Video . I am waiting on my 230 s to arrive from Horizon. Been watching a lot of videos . Your instructions on trim mode was very helpful . Thanks .
  • @bbarker5766
    Thanks for taking the time to do this vid with the stock rtf radio! I'm looking forward to getting mine in the air soon.
  • @feefeee
    I've done mineon fairly windy days on my 200 FP and it still totally works just fine. Gotta commend Blade for the 200/230
  • Thanks for this video. I just got a new 230 S V2 and haven't flown it yet. And I thought the mountains looked really familiar and realized you're in Missoula.
  • @bradharvy13
    Love your video, but you can't just plop, a geared tail down lol. Maybe a few times, but this chopper looks interesting. Still selling, I like the night one!, and since you can, plop it down due to the rear motor being direct lol. Man every video I've seen, that tail is rock solid, would love that! Again, great video. Just poking you on the, "plopping" part hehe. Cheers mate!

    Help Please . Collective pitch is not working . Throttle works and so does Rudder on left stick . Right gimbal is fine. Elevator and ailerons move fine . Please help . I'm using the DXs transmitter that came it came with .

    what does the aero/roll switch do? (right under switch)
  • @74DuallyVan
    I know you mentioned being out of RC and this video is old but I think you saved me. I keep flicking throttle hold before the bind button at the end. and I think that's cancelling my trim data. I'm about to find out soon enough! 😊
  • @tlrcamp8009
    Do I have to do the same calibration for the 330s rtf?
  • @jea405
    What update did you have the time of this video ??
  • @KnightsGarage
    Both of the 230s smarts I have purchased drift hard tot he left. like at times I have to be full right stick to keep it from running away. not stable at all. happens inside in a controlled environment as well. Even when let off an hit the panic button it goes quickly left, both of them do it. the second one not as much as the first. i have two RTF models, the first one is on its wat to Horizon now to be looked at after i sent them video of it. i also can not get it to complete a trim flight, i do the procedure you show here and i get the first wiggle but when i land and press the panic/bind button again i just get a flashing red light on the receiver and a beeping tone. i have 660 in Heli's and neither one work.
  • @rtoebak76
    Mine does nothing, it's a v2. No menu. No beep or swash hopping. Flies great, but that's not the point.
  • just got mine delivered today , am new to this hobby and have notice that the swash is tilting to the right ( looking at it front on ) am guessing this is ok for me to attempt a trim flight ? any advice on this ? Help me guys ..lol
  • @garyvale8347
    I have the 200 S RTF model and have not yet flown it, as I am a beginner ...are the trim instructions the same for both the 200 S and 230 S...thanks..
