Looking good, upgraded version of e160.
Hoping it to be cheaper than OMP heli.
But one thing i don't like about this heli is the swashplate.
The swashplate is very similar to xk130 and e160 which can't easily be checked whether the swashplate is level or not.
I usually use three point swashplate level checking tool or needle, but this e160, xk130 and e180, the horn behind is shorter than the two in-front which makes it difficult to use 3 point swashplate level checker or needle.
For this case I got to check swashplate level or not by checking the bottom of the swashplate which i personally do not really like.

you don't need any special swash leveler for micro helis. Two cheapo methods can be used: 1)a zip tie or 2)a small $1 bubble leveler.

Agree, for xk130 and e160, i just did eyeballing and it still flies well.
But when i do adjustment for omp heli, i managed to adjust using needle since the three swashplate horn are equal length, and after that i feel like i achieved something.

personally I like the OXY3 under swash level tool, works good on the OMP M2 so will test it on the E180 as well.

I look forward to its price

A more fun flight video is coming soon

Do you have any price for both RTF and the BNF versions?

Any comments from the OMP pilots about how the headspeed compares under hard 3D? Seems to drop off quite a lot in the videos although performance still looks pretty good. No mention of governor in the specs....

The price has not been determined yet, but it will definitely be a cost-effective rc helicopter

Some Japanese guy told me that Chinese factory's technologies are of OPEN SOURCE, and never illegal copies.

The designs of the canopy and the transmitter are very close to those of Mikado LOGO 200 and Mikado transmitters.

They should better come up with different shape and design of canopy than OMP M2 and Logo200.

Hi, I agree with you, but see the painting of the canopy of a LOGO 200, and the design of Mikado transmitters:

Clearly not as powerful as the M2, you can hear it bog heavily on those tictocs whereas the m2 just keeps going and going no matter how hard the collective is used.

Me too.

Any idea on release date?
