Could it Fly on 2 blades? Since doing my reviews on 1, 2, and 3 bladed Helicopters, along comes GearBest again, this time with a 4 Bladed helicopter called the XK K124. I want to see how this one compares to the 3 bladed version of the V931, which is also scale and beautiful, but has low flight time. The battery in the K124 is 700 mAh, vs the 500 mAh in the AS 350. Of course adding another blade is power robbing. 4 and 5 bladed helis even feel “heavy” on the simulator too! I expect this to be the same. This is what I found.
This helicopter flies great and has a Fabulous 2.4 GHz remote control set with LCD display and a cable for a simulator.
I love it. I flies longer with the larger 700 mah battery than the others. Could it fly longer with less blades? The answer is in the video. Price at Gearbest? $102.46. I’ve not broken anything on it either! Hell of a deal!
