GAUI 330X-S QUAD FLYER W/SCORPION MOTORS & ESC'S 210001

This copter is much more fun than the coax helis that don't fly well outside. Much easier than the non coax variants. This is a very evolved system(X-S versus earlier S) and has durability but not total invulnerability. It actually hovers well but has the challenge option of becoming a significant photography platform with over 500g payload possible. It flys rather fast if needed and does an impressive elevator.If you get one here are a few essentials.Read the manual carefully. Re-read and dont rush the assembly.Use thread locker equivalent properly on all metal metal screws etc. Buy 10-32 lock nuts as the counter rotating props especially come off mid flight. Consider the bumper kit sold by gaui and use only the pieces that fit under the motors and nothing else. Remove the useless wheels.Do pre-flight checks including holding while full throttling to test props.Parts are needed often but they are maintenance items and the electronics are hardy.You will need a 4 channel or better radio set including receiver and a lipo battery for the heli.

The guai 330x is a good product. It isn't a toy. The rotating blades are a little scary but there are blade guards available for it. I plan on flying a camera in it but haven't yet the craft has plenty of power to carry a camera.

This was my first venture into the Radio Controlled Flyer World and I can tell you that it is not as easy as you might think.Be prepared to do some soldering, programming and electronics calibration... and be prepared to buy a LOT more than the $400 price tag (Transmitter/Controller $200, Receiver (maybe included in price of transmitter depending on what you get), Battery ($30), Charger ($80), Adapters ($5)...The product is perfect for my needs (aerial videography with the GoPro) and it seems to be performing as expected, but I will warn you about the customer service for AlleRC.They aren't the most helpful or patient people, so when you need help, it makes it very difficult.My advice is that you should either know what you are doing, at least somewhat, and have experience with electronics and be prepared to spend another $300 to $400.

I got my GAUI 300XS a few weeks ago. I got mine in a super combo that included a Spektrum receiver. First thing you should know, this thing is NOT a toy, it can hurt you, or anyone around you. Please fly with CAUTION! It's controls are a cross between an airplane and a helicopter. It will almost fly itself if you let it. But beware that it can get away from you FAST! I purchased the training gear with it, a good investment for only about $17. I have crashed several times, once from about 150-200 ft., I wanted to see what would happen if I "dead sticked" it. It tumbles with no hope of recovery. It landed on blacktop, right side up. A few things were out of place and the landing gear were bent, but other than that, everything was fine. It was flying again in about 5 min. Do follow the instructions, and if nothing else, DO put locktite on the prop adapter locking screws, and the spinners. They will come off if you don't. Don't ask me how I know this! I have since built a light ring, mounted outside the training gear, about 26 1/2" in Dia. Be carefull putting lights on one of these, it DOES stop traffic! The Ascent is incredibly fast, the Descent is slow, as to not lose control. Keep in mind, the only thing keeping it in the air is the speed of the props, it has no control surfaces to speak of, so movements need to be precise and controlled. I've got a camera ordered for it now, so it will be even more fun. This thing amazes everyone who sees it. It's an incredible flying machine!
