    It’s not every day you see a new coax RC helicopter that’s different from the rest. Manufacturers are always coming up with simple variations on the same designs, each marketed like it’s the next big thing.

Here are a few of the different setups reported to be successful, and the parts needed to build them. Pure Glider Setup This setup leaves much of the Fox airframe…

  • Indoor/Outdoor Coaxial RC Helicopter – Flies in Windy Conditions (Extreme Flyers X350)

    www.RCHelicopter.com
    4 May 2012 | 11:34 am
    This one’s really cool - a new coaxial RC helicopter that can fly outdoors, even in the wind! Something about the vertically mounted tail rotor allows it to rapidly compensate for wind gusts and stay stable. Coaxial RC helicopters are usually really stable, but this causes them to do badly in the wind. Somehow, this one manages to overcome that. Flying in the Wind – Extreme Conditions Coaxial helicopters are great for learning how to fly, but their inherent stability usually causes them to be very sensitive to the wind. Using the vertically mounted tail rotor and patented…
