Well as a complete beginner to this hobby I was able to have my first few flights today with my 150s, and what an absolute blast!!!! So I have been doing a ton of research into flying RC helicopters as well as reading pretty much all the posts from the different models...a very good idea considering now owning all BNF models and most RTF as well. FYI I have always been the type of person who doesn't just dip my toe in a little bit with something, I absolutely go right for it until I'm content. So my first flight was 7 minutes and 49 seconds on an Eflite 3s 2200mah 30c Lipo, to begin with i decided that before I even got there i was gonna practice taking off and landing as well as hovering...and it went very very well. So I changed batteries and took off again, this time expanding my flight doing figure 8's. I don't know if the guys who did nothing but complain about their 150s's got a bad batch(and this does happen) but even as an amateur I had complete control with my DX6E SPEKTRUM. I definitely am well aware that some units come from the factory ready for disaster the second you get it in the air but...this doesn't mean that you need to absolutely bash each and every product from that brand supplier because they can't guarantee that EVERY UNIT operates flawlessly, that is an unrealistic expectation in my opinion. For example, I just had an issue with my 360 Fusion that caused a substantial amount of damage and it wasn't due to operator error, it just happened to have a glitch. I emailed customer support and a few days later I received a pleasant email from a fellow named Ken who instantly resolved the situation being extremely more than prompt...matter of fact he had everything done and a brand new one in the mail all within a few hours. It happens, doesn't mean everything is junk nor does it mean that unit that failed is junk...it's just a glitch. Personally I love my Blade Heli's and will never change brands simply because of an issue with one. The other 11 operate flawlessly so what does that tell you ❓❓❓it tells me that HH is dialed in just about perfect.

The Blade 150 S is the best helicopter that I have flown. Please note that I am a sport flyer and NOT a 3D pilot. I have flown the 200, 230, 250, and now the 150 S. I bought it to have something small to fly while stuck in the house during the COVID-19 pandemic. I wanted something I could fly outside in the back yard or better still at the schoolyard nearby.

First off, the design and craftsmanship of this heli are outstanding. It has fantastic proportions. A stout tail boom, MG servos, and a carbon fiber main frame. All for 200 bucks. A great value!

The 150 S flies superbly. It is a pleasure to fly. It has a gob of power (and I am at 5,400 feet). The 150 S has enormous power. It is beautifully controllable in both SAFE mode (Mode 1) and Mode 2. It is just a joy to fly with no bad habits and predictable. I just love flying this heli. It sounds great too.

If you are looking for a fully aerobatic small and relatively inexpensive heli then the 150 S is the one that you need in the hanger.

I was apprehensive on buying since the blade 130S seems so bouncy, touchy and it is handful. However, the 150s is smooth, stable and a blast to fly around my back yard. Would highly recommend.

Unfortunately San Diego is under lock down because of the deadly Corona Virus. And as a result our local field Chollas RC is closed. So instead of being stuck on a simulator I was able to purchase this little gem of a heli and have been able to fly in my local backyard. The thing really gives good flight times on my 450 batteries. I fly for 4 mins down to storage 4.8V, more than enough time.

Now does this thing fly like a 500 no, but it is realitively stable and believe it or not will teach you good flying skills during the world wide pandemic ;-), and you can't safely fly with your fellow helicopter pilots.

So in a nutshell I would definitely recommend this little gem to anyone who wants to scratch that flying itch during the nationwide lockdown. If your thinking of purchasing this heli, don't hesitate cheap batteries, cheap parts, easy to fix.

Example I was just flying in the Park and in normal mode, I went inverted and well the heli of course went down right on its blades perfectly flat. I didn't even hit throttle hold, till it had already hit. The only damage was feathering shaft, and a main gear, which I just ordered and I should be up and flying again for under $20 and that includes shipping.

Well Blade hit a home run with this one, I enjoy it a lot more that the 180 CFX trio.

Best,

Jason

I’m an older mainly fixed wing guy ( read that SLOW)
LOL! But I DO ocassionally like to dabble in smallish helis that I can fly in my front yard. In the past I’ve flown fixed pitch sub micros, and a couple CP sub micros ( Nano & MCPX) , can do basic flying/orientation, very mild aerobatics.
Decided to get back to helis a little after 9 year layoff.
First got a 70s to practice basics again, then wanted something a little bigger but not tooooo big. Saw the 150s , liked the construction quality. Was a little afraid of it being beyond my flying abilities. ,,, but WOW!!!
This thing flies GREAT! In stability mode is as easy or easier than the 70s. On 2nd flight switched into mode 2,, got nervous and dumb thumbed it into pavement hard! But only damage was a broken main blade,, it seems very sturdy. Set up was easy and straightforward even for a heli newbie like me. Flies perfectly right out of the box. I’m hoping to eventually progress beyond my former baby stage, and this one should do the trick. If you have basic heli flying skills down I’d HIGHLY reccomend this one!
It’s a WINNER WINNER chicken dinner!
Way to go HH!!!
