The price for two of these helicopters with free shipping is the best on the internet. They arrived in the U.K. in exactly a week, which i was very pleased about. They were well packed, and arrived in first class condition. The v913 is extremely good value for money, it is a lot of helicopter for the money, flies very well, and is crash resistant. Well done Miraclemart! Steve.
Right now this is my favorite helo to fly. It flies very scale-like and I like the size. If WL Toys were to make a larger 4 channel helo with some improvements to the transmitter and the swashplate, they would own the 4 channel large helo market. The transmitter does not have a time, model memory or even recent memory. It is not programmable. When turned off it reverts to the LOW setting. LOW is OK to fly with after I did a mod to the links. I don't see that much difference between LOW and HI. On the 2nd flight there was very little movement forward. I finally discovered the bolt/screw/rod was missing that holds the flybar to the rotor head. The missing bolt/screw/rod is a problem found by some other in the forums I follow after I mentioned it. I put the servo connecting rod in the outermost hole on the servo arms to gain more control and manueverability. This helo flies like most of the other HK versions of helos you can buy, i.e. like trucks but with some experience, you can c
I feel I need to update my first review after a flight yesterday, 31 May 2013. My original swashplate broke during the 2nd flight. The upper swash arms broke during that flight and I was able to land safely. I thought maybe I had gotten a lemon so I ordered 3 more swahplates. I put a new one on the helo. On about the tenth flight with the new swashplate, I suddenly lost forward movement control of my V913. It did't crash or land but just stopped moving forward in the air. It was a normal flight doing oval circuits, nothing fancy. I landed safely and 1 of the upper swash arms had detached from the upper swash section. This is the 2nd swashplate to break inflight during normal flight. The swashplate for the V913 is a VERY POOR DESIGN flaw and needs to be corrected by WL Toys or the company they bought the design from. I will pursue other avenues to get this bad design corrected but I will not be buying another V913 until this swashplate design is fixed.
