Eachine Helicopter

Precision Engineering for Every Pilot: The Eachine E-Series AdvantageWhether you are looking for the scale realism of the Eachine Blackhawk helicopter or the aggressive 3D capabilities of the Eachine E180, this lineup represents the pinnacle of accessible RC aviation. Eachine has transitioned from basic toy-grade models to high-performance machines featuring dual brushless motors and optical flow positioning. If you’re exploring our New FPV Arrivals, adding a high-performance heli to your fleet is the ultimate way to sharpen your line-of-sight orientation skills.ModelMotor TypeFlight ControllerBest ForEachine E120 (Saber)Brushed (High Torque)6-Axis Gyro + Optical FlowBeginner Indoor TrainingEachine E150Dual Brushless (Direct Drive)3D/6G SwitchableIntermediate 3D StuntsEachine E160Brushless Main + TailHigh-Performance 3DAdvanced AerobaticsEachine E129Brushed6-Axis StabilityBudget Entry LevelStep-by-Step Setup: Getting Your Eachine AirborneSetting up your Eachine E110 helicopter or E120 requires more than just charging the battery. Follow this pro-engineer checklist to ensure a successful maiden flight:Initialization: Place the heli on a dead-flat surface. This is critical for the 6-axis gyro to calibrate. If it’s tilted, the heli will drift immediately upon takeoff.Binding: Power on the transmitter first, then the helicopter. Look for a solid LED status. If you see a blinking green light and the red LED at the back won’t light, you likely have a binding failure or a throttle safety lockout.Throttle Calibration: Ensure your ‘gas’ or throttle stick is at the lowest position before arming. Many Eachine models won’t take more gas if they detect a non-zero throttle position at startup.Bench Testing: Using Drone Tools like a digital pitch gauge is recommended for E150 and E180 models to ensure blade tracking is perfect.Troubleshooting Real-World Issues (The Reddit Report)We see it often in the forums: “My new Eachine E188s wont take off, it’s only blinking green.” As a veteran engineer, I can tell you this is usually a signal that the flight controller hasn’t initialized its level-sensing. If you’re struggling to diagnose a video feed on an FPV-modded heli, here’s a pro tip: if you have a pair of EV800Ds, you can take the box goggle part off and use the screen as a standalone bench monitor. This makes it much easier to diagnose OSD issues or camera tilt without wearing the headset while working on a live heli.Eachine Helicopter FAQEachine E119 vs E129 review: Which is better?The E129 is the successor to the E119, offering improved barometer altitude hold and a more durable airframe. Both are excellent 4-channel starters, but the E129’s flight stability makes it the superior choice for 2025 indoor training.Eachine E150 vs E180 brushless: What’s the difference?The E150 is more compact and manageable for smaller parks, while the Eachine E180 rc helicopter is a powerhouse designed for aggressive 3D maneuvers. The E180 requires high-discharge LiPo batteries (up to 100C) to prevent voltage sag during hard collective pitch pumps.Is the Eachine E120 good for beginners?Yes, the Eachine E120 helicopter (Saber) is arguably the best beginner RC helicopter available. Its optical flow positioning allows it to hover hands-free, which is a game-changer for those used to the difficult learning curve of traditional RC helis.Are Eachine helicopters legal to fly in 2026?In the US and UK, most Eachine models like the Eachine E130 rc helicopter fall under the 250g limit, exempting them from many registration requirements. However, you should still complete the TRUST test in the US and be aware of local altitude restrictions.
