The Nimbus 550 flies extremely well with a great locked-in feeling. The parts are inexpensive and give you confidence to push your flying to the next level. The only negative about this model is the assembly. The manual has a number of mistakes and could be a bit more clear overall. The parts come temporarily assembled which requires you to completely remove them and put them back together. The issue is with the bearings. None of them came with thread locker (which is fine) except for one. Because the tolerances are so tight, heat had to be applied to some parts to get the bearings out. And for the one with thread locker installed, I had to apply a lot of heat to break the bond. XL Power, you need to either add thread locker to all bearings (preferable) or none. It cannot be a mix.
Great build. Quality kit for a great price.
Heli direct customer support has been great. 100% recommend!!
Thanks helidirect !!
this HELICOPTER FLIES AMAZING
this helicopter flies great
Really love this Heli. Iv got 12s krakens all the way down to 280 size and this is one of my favorites. It’s super light and quiet. Quietest chopper I have. Paired with. Xnova 4025 6s with ample power. Online manual could be better if you have never built before. If you are experienced then you will be fine. Very pleased with this helicopter.
Build went great, directions were clear. Very light feeling bird. Happy with it. Gonna put full size servos on it to feel any difference in the future.
I am more than halfway through the build process and I am very impressed with this kit. The step by step instructions are clear and easy to follow. The parts are high quality and fit together perfectly. I am waiting for my motor and esc to arrive so I can finish the build.
