The Blade 230 S V2 Bind-N-Fly Basic Electric Flybarless Helicopter is perfect for anyone looking to hone their skills on a collective pitch machine. Building off the widely popular platform, this updated version adds key improvements geared at growing pilot skills. The redesigned ESC gives even more impressive flight stability and heading hold, creating a clean, confidence inspiring flight experience. Additionally, the tuned Spektrum AR636 with aluminum bottom case and improved damping makes this heli feel like a completely different machine in the air. Engineered around the abilities of innovative SAFE technology, its progressive flight mode system makes flying a collective pitch heli more comfortable, even if it’s your first collective pitch helicopter. A reinforced frame and main gear along with metal gear servos and ABS main blades can survive the learning curve and add confidence. The flight and strength improvements make this a blast to fly in your local park or backyard.

Super stable, awesome helicopter. Best first helicopter by far for learning to fly. I wish they had this technology 11 years ago when I first started flying.

Helped me break the ice with my 550x. The 230v2 very stable flying inverted backwards. Can't believe how solid tail is . Couldn't be happier with performance especially for the price.

This model flies almost perfect right out of the box. I am flying with the DX6 and I am using a little trim.
Based on previous helicopter experience, I used loctite on the feathering shaft to make sure I would not have a failure with the blade and grips. Flys great. Great product.

A dream heli to fly. Easy to setup with my DX7. Super stable in the air and seems like it can handle more wind than anything else of this size that I've flown. Haven't yet needed to use the SAFE function, but it's a great feeling knowing that it's there for when I do dumb thumb it. When he's ready, my son will be flying this one too. Of course, knowing my luck, I'll need to find another one so that I can at least keep some stick time.

Purchased two of these also recently. One has some strange surging and flybarless freak outs! It would be flying so stable and all at once it would just dart left or right. After a complete run through, and making sure the swash was level, etc., I figured I’d check in with Horizon on this one. My other 230s V2has no issues and flies perfect every time. It is my more “relaxed” 3D due to the low head speed & that is small enough for me to travel with and find a quiet spot to fly should I feel the immediate need.

The Blade 230 S V2 is a GREAT little helicopter capable of any maneuver any 90 size helicopter can do. The best thing is it doesn't need much space to do it in. You can fly it in a reasonably sized yard. It's small enough that you have to keep in in pretty close to see and comes with a safe mode. If you get in trouble, just press and hold the button on your radio (if you are high enough, and you don't need to be very high).

If you like helicopters and don't want to spend a lot of money to have a lot of fun, this is an excellent machine from beginner to expert.

The helicopter is the BEST in its class. I now own THREE of these machines and regret the day they stop making them.
