OMPHOBBY M2 Explore RC Helicopter for Adults Dual-Brushless Motor Direct-Drive 6CH RC Helicopters with 3D Flight RC Outdoor New Version BNF(No Controller-Yellow)

This review is for the explorer version. This is a very well built and very well engineered heli. Not that it needed it but I took apart and inspected the main head before maiden flight. I just do that with all helis I don't initially put together my self. There was plenty of grease in the thrust bearings. The feathering shaft screws did need blue locktight. All other screws were tight and had either locktight or ca glue. I also replaced the carbon composit blade grips whith aluminum ones. I just like those better. Everything else is stock. I used a Frsky R-XSR receiver hooked into the Sbus port. And bound it to a Jumper T16 pro hall TX. (I also build and fly FPV freestyle quads so to me setup was easy) I wanted to use a "satellite" receiver so to take advantage of OpenTx programming. The OMP receiver I don't think will allow you to setup custom pitch and throttle curves and this is essential in tuning the flight characteristics to your liking. The main head components are smooth and tight. There is no play in the linkage at all. Very precision built. (I'm also a CNC machinist and programmer so I can appreciate the main head components fitting very precise) The motors are very high quality and very smooth running. The tail motor works very well. Super powerful and won't blow out on you. The direct drive main motor is a very good design and is smooth and quiet. All you hear is blade noise, and it sounds great in the air. I got 8 min flights just flying scale circuits with 3.70 ish resting Volts per cell. This heli flies smooth, stable and rock solid. It is as responsive as you like it to be and could be tamed down to be an excelent trainer if paired with a TX that has pitch and throttle curve programming. OMP Hobby did an excellent job with this one. I would not hesitate at all to pick this one up if you're looking for a 180 to 200 size heli. This heli way out performs my Trex 450 flybar clone.

This is my first helicopter. Flies well and is easy to work on.

The media could not be loaded. Great helicopter especially if your new you can really give this thing a beating even experienced flyers will have it good customizing the gyro speed agility and it's really cheap and easy to fix haven't replaced original blades yet I've Crashed 8 times had it for 3 months and almost 50 flights still strong 💪

I was so disappointed when my son opened this heli and asked me where the remote is. I got online and looked closely at the description. Not included and the charger cords aren't included either. So I checked to see if the page for the heli shows the remote (transmitter) and charger. All I could find was another battery. So after much searching I finally found them and placed the order. I just wish the seller had a link to these items so I could have easily ordered them without so much hassle. So as of now, my son can't use the heli until I get the other items delivered to me. UGH!

Great Machine to fly. I do both m1 and m2. Thanks

I cannot express enough on the quality of the m2 explore. I am not a seasoned professional heli pilot, but I have been flying for awhile now and to this point was always a blade brand user since it was easy to find with my spektrum radio. Finally got this omp m2 and I was so impressed with the quality difference. Everything from the just the overall feel and it flies superior to the other brand. I purchased the spektrum ar6210 receiver from Amazon and binding was super easy to my dx6e and have not had one issue that I can complain about. If you are looking for a stable quality heli in this size you will not regret this purchase. I plan on buying another m2 and m1 evo.

Took 10 years off the hobby and I was pleasantly surprised that a product like the M2 actually existed. What an awesome piece of engineering. Way better in many ways than the older helicopters they used to produce in the past. I just crashed today and it took me very few minutes to replace the servo horn (the only damage it took), It feels like the perfect simulator replacement!!Simply impressive!

heli is very good but the plastic swatch plate loose, fortunately I was hove and landing so no damaged at all.
