This one’s really cool - a new coaxial RC helicopter that can fly outdoors, even in the wind! Something about the vertically mounted tail rotor allows it to rapidly compensate for wind gusts and stay stable. Coaxial RC helicopters are usually really stable, but this causes them to do badly in the wind. Somehow, this one manages to overcome that.

Flying in the Wind – Extreme Conditions


Coaxial helicopters are great for learning how to fly, but their inherent stability usually causes them to be very sensitive to the wind. Using the vertically mounted tail rotor and patented technology, the Extreme Flyers X350 overcomes this problem. Not only can it be flown in extremely windy conditions, it’s actually easy to do! Here’s a video to prove it – watch how the wind affects the trees and the flags near the flying helicopter.

There’s even mode to turn off the tail rotor if you’re flying the X350 indoors, which reduces the sensitivity of the controls. Since coaxial RC helicopters don’t have a particular need for a tail rotor, the vertically mounted tail rotor can be used to help stability in high winds.

Great for beginners and Intermediate Pilots


The Extreme Flyers X350 helicopter is great for both beginning and intermediate pilots. The helicopter has enough control to satisfy those wanting to improve their skills and those who are just learning how to fly. Even though the Extreme Flyers X350 RC helicopter has the stability which comes with a coaxial design, the helicopter has enough speed to cover a park in a few seconds flat.
