Full review of the F645 helicopter.

Okay, so I finally opened up and flew my new helicopter. I will give the flight summary a bit later. Now though, lets have a look at it closer. Here is a picture of everything in the box, the actual helicopter, the 2.4GHz transmitter and a charger.
Everything in the box

The helicopter is fully built so no pre-flight set up. The 2.4GHz transmitter can change between modes 1-4. This is very good for veteran pilots who are used to a certain mode, like me. After selecting sides with the sliders, you select either 1 & 3 or 2 & 4. I use mode 4 as I am used to it. You can also select the sensitivity and the parameters of each channel. The servos on the helicopter are very good and reliable. They turn at a good speed, not to fast or slow. The blades are big and take a good beating.
Close up of the transmitter, everything is reversed due to my camera.

You can also add a camera to the helicopter to film your flight. I did not buy this as I saw no need for me. You may want to buy it from MJX to film your flights, but I like to mount my own if I am flying. There is a button on the transmitter to make the camera start taking videos or even take pictures when you want. The camera module clips on the underbelly of the helicopter and a few wires clip into a small port on the circuit board of the helicopter.

Flight

The helicopter flies very well. Even in the mild wind the helicopter can stay true. The trimming of the helicopter is simple but very hard the perfect, although that may be due to the wind. I could not get a good flight today as it is quite windy, but I shall try later today.

Thats all for now! Thanks for reading
