Up the game for better performance

If you have few more bucks to spare, there will be better fliers which are future-proofed, and can grow with you as you progress. They are a bit more pricy but for a reasons. These helis are feature packed, 3D capable, safe to fly and they are top hobby grade!

FLywing FW200 - The 3D Performer

The 200 sized heli by Flywing is by no mean a lesser heli compared to F180 V2, even without an FPV camera.

Comes equipped with all latest technologies such as GPS, optical sensor, compass, FW200 is already a safe & easy to fly heli for beginners.

What really makes FW200 shine is its 3D capability, a.k.a flying up-side-down for those who don't know. With the H1 V2 Flight Controller, you can program automated GPS flight or show off its pre-programmed 3D flight to your friends much easier than the previous version.

Pure 3D Performers - Goosky S Series

If you're a seasoned veteran with extensive experience in 3D flying, and you're seeking pure fun from a scaled-down 400-500 size helicopter, look no further than the Goosky S series.

These helicopters may lack safety features, but they are formidable creatures in their own right. They possess the full capability to perform all the maneuvers of their larger counterparts, right in the comfort of your own backyard. While indoor flight is possible for the skilled, we advise against it.

Goosky S1's Big Brother - The S2

The Goosky S2 is a scaled-up version of the S1, offering more power, enhanced stability, and easier to work with.

Designed for experienced pilots, the S2 excels in advanced 3D maneuvers like four-way hovering, circuits, and funnels. However, it's versatile enough to serve as a stable, smooth flyer for beginners just starting their journey.

Available now at HeliDirect, the Goosky S2 comes in a variety of color schemes and combos to suit every style.
