MACH3RC:Is Apache F11 really suitable for beginners? | Stirlingkit
August 28, 2024Today, we have my first-ever RC helicopter, and I don’t think we could have chosen a better one. This is Apache helicopter, and it looks absolutely amazing. The details are insane! Although I’m a little nervous to fly it since it's my first helicopter—and these can be tricky to fly—I believe this one is perfect for beginners like me. Even though the price is a bit higher, it offers so many features that justify it, like this cool transmitter that comes with it. This transmitter is awesome! It has GPS, is built with carbon fiber composite material, and includes incredible details like auto-landing, auto-leveling, and even a mode to go inverted. If we get adventurous, maybe we’ll give it a try. There are so many features to this RC helicopter that make it easy to use.
This transmitter is so cool; it shows all kinds of features like a compass, battery level, and transmitter level. It even displays your height and speed—amazing! It’s so stable! This is my first time flying an RC helicopter, so I’m taking it easy, but it’s flying great. Just look at it hold position! We’re in low rate mode now, but it also has a high rate and a GPS mode that helps it hold location easily. There’s even a low-ceiling GPS mode for when you have a bad connection. Switching into GPS mode allows it to go as high as you want, but there’s a setting to prevent it from going too high if you’re a beginner like me.
This helicopter also has a return-to-home feature and an auto-landing button. I flipped the switch, and it’s landing all by itself—how cool is that? For more advanced users, there’s a manual mode that gives you full control. I’m feeling good about how it flew, so I want to try the inverted feature, even though it terrifies me. We’ll take it a bit higher
After some experimenting, I managed to get it inverted—what a rush! This helicopter even has an FPV camera option . Now, let’s switch to high rates and see how it handles—oh yeah,I’m really impressed with how stable and smooth this helicopter is, even when I let go of the controls. It just holds its position perfectly.
I’m going to try landing it myself this time. Just bringing it down slowly… perfect landing! I love how easy and safe this helicopter is to handle, especially with its emergency switch that locks everything up when you’re done flying. And the briefcase it comes with is awesome, with great storage options, a charger, and even customizable battery choices. The little ordinance kit with guns and lights looks fantastic too.
this was a blast! Can’t wait to fly it more.
