We all (RC heli flyers) tend to think it is only fun
to fly a
big RC heli such as Trex 600 or a Raptor, but it is in fact equally fun to
fly a small RC heli such as a coaxial Dynam Vortex heli. Getting
tired of fixing my MX400/Trex450 Hybrid from the last crash, I am
glad to welcome this little, cute yellow bird to my fleet. The
coaxial Dynam Vortex heli is manufactured by
Dynam RC who makes a wide variety of RC aircraft and
accessories. The Dynam Vortex heli is a coaxial model among other RC
heli models made by
Dynam RC such as Hughes 300, Phoenix CP and FP. On this page and the next
2 more
pages, I will cover some of key areas of the coaxial Dynam
Vortex heli as much as possible so people looking for a coaxial heli
in this price range can get information about Dynam Vortex heli. I
will continue to add more information to the review as I gain more
experience with Dynam Vortex heli. So, bookmark the page and always
check back for updates.
I
was so happy to see the UPS package arrived at my door from
BPhobbies earlier than I expected. I didn’t waste any
time and started tearing down the package right away. The first
thing I saw was a little, cute, yellow coaxial heli. Yeah,
it is the coaxial Dynam Vortex heli! It came in a nicely
designed box with a nice color cover owner manual, good
looking 4-channel FM transmitter, 2-cell 800 mAh Lipo
pack, Li-Po DC charger, 2 pairs of rotor blades, and a
tool package.
The
coaxial Dynam Vortex is a nice heli. It has a real scale
looking body. When I lined up the coaxial Dynam Vortex heli next
to my Blade CP and MX400/Trex450 Hybrid, the Dynam Vortex heli
fit in the group really nice. The
second thing that caught my eyes at first sight was the
transmitter. The chrome plate on the front makes the transmitter
look like an expensive computerized transmitter. I had a picture
of the Dynam Vortex transmitter standing side by side next to my
Futaba 9C below so you can judge it for yourselves.
The 8 page owner
manual is well-written. I found the Dynam Vortex owner manual a
lot easier to understand than the Esky’s or Walkera’s manuals.
The owner manual contains information about general RC heli
guides, operating the Dynam Vortex heli for the first time,
testing and adjusting, controls for the Dynam Vortex Heli,
Vortex heli components, transmitter, battery preparation and
installation, balancing and adjusting main blades, beginner
flying lessons and Dynam Vortext heli part listing. The included
Li-Po charger was also impressive – there are three light
indictors for power, charging and full states.
The only a little
thing that kind of took away some of my positive first impression
at
the moment was the front body of the heli got broken on the top. The front body is very thin
and fragile – easy
to crack. It might have been broken during shipping. I am sure if I called
BPhobbies, they would send me a new front canopy right away.
But it was a minor crack and it was not a big deal. A few pieces
of clear tape took care of it nicely. It only took me a few
seconds to recover my excitement. Everything looked
great so far.
