Goosky Legend S1 Helicopter (BNF) - Purple

Excellent flying helicopter that I added to my many Goosky fleet.
Flies great!

Great little helicopter

Great little helicopter to get back into flying with. Better than my Blade 400. I have to keep it close to avoid losing orientation, but that suits me for getting back up to speed.

I flew around a toy-grade RC helicopter until the swash plate melted. I got bit by the bug.

I set myself up with a Radiomaster Boxer 2.4 ELRS transmitter, and Goosky S1. It feels and flies just like it did out of the box after 10+ flights and a few minor learning crashes that I was able to cut the throttle in time for.

The setup process is harder than flying this helicopter. As someone completely new to binding and mapping a RC helicopter, it took me easily 6-8 hours of setup time before I even took to the sky. On my first takeoff, I found out I had the channel 5 (stability / 3D flight) backwards. After panic cutting the throttle and ditching it into the neighbor's bushes, I had to go back and figure out where I was incorrect. It is much more forgiving now that I've figured out the stability mode.

This leads me to my main critique of this helicopter. I wish the instructions were more comprehensive and less vague. I very well could have crashed the helicopter badly in my process of figuring out if +100 or -100 on channel 5 was stability or 3d mode - though this is probably also due to my lack of skill in setting up the channels.

Lastly, I feel it is also pertinent to make it obvious that a separate ELRS receiver needs to be purchased, as this kit does not come with one! Additionally, some guidance on the proper mounting of the bluetooth and ELRS receiver modules would be appreciated.

These complaints are more growing pains coming from a newbie, and less real complaints. This helicopter is awesome and it is very much worth it in my opinion if you have your own ELRS transmitter.

I haven’t flown in a number of years and it’s amazing the quality that Goosky has packed into such a small and capable helicopter! I’m already eyeing an S2 to purchase next.

I am a big fan of the Goosky product line. The Goosky S1 was my favorite winter helicopter to buzz around indoors when outdoors turns into frigid frozen wasteland here in the northeast. The S1 V2 is a better version of that great heli ! Not only it has better electronics but also minor better physical aspects make it a better looking helicopter that can handle minor crashes like a champ.

I strongly recommend this heli to anyone who wants to learn to fly. It's great to learn hovers, orientations, has built in stability mode, and the bluetooth app makes it easy to tame it down or go full on 3D ! Extremely convenient feature.

I love love love this machine!

This a great little helicopter flys great and good for beginners with the safe option . Fast shipping with Heli Derect ..

He may look small but it sure is snappy. If you’re a beginner I recommend some expo.

This heli is great for hovering and doing maneuvers inside when the weather is too bad to get outside. I hear they fly outside as well. With theirs receiver that HeliDirect sells it was very easy to set up and bind with my TX15 transmitter.

Chose the S1 over the M1 and eventhough both helis are very similar the S1 is a much nicer build. Setup on a TX16S is pretty straightforward, no extra rx required. YT and forums have all the info needed. Just take the time to set it up correctly and double check everything without blades before you launch! S1 is super capable and stable despite it's small size. Spare parts and batteries are cheap and in stock at Helidirect. Shipping has been lightning fast for my recent orders and communication is excellent. Helidirect is one of the best places to shop.
