Radio controlled Walkera 60B RC Helicopter review
The above picture is a Walker 60B with a CopterX canopy
Please remember that I am an idiot when it comes to actually flying an RC Helicopter and will always use the limitations of the Helicopter itself, as I don’t like to blame the pilot, so please remember that I do not do this model any justice. I am sure if it were in more experienced hands the review would be different as they could tame the beast. I on the other hand, never had more than 10 seconds of flight time in anyone session.
So my encounter with a Walkera 60 B RC Helicopter goes like this. From out of the box the RC Walkera 60 B Helicopter would be able to back-flip without the aid of a remote control. The Walkera would try and get at a 45 degree angle as soon as possible. The Walkera 60 B Remote Control helicopter was a death trap from the day I opened the box. Funnily enough the longest and best flight was when the RC Helicopter was on the ground and I thought I would find out what the dip switches do on the back of the transmitter.
I flicked one switch and the Walkera 60 B came to life and took off, I tried to control it as any good pilot should by twirling the sticks in every direction, which did nothing. So by this time it had circled my neighbours house and was getting close to his TV antenna. I then flicked the switch back on the back of the transmitter just in time to see the Walkera 60 B RC Helicopter plough into my neighbours fence. He found it very funny with me having to ask for my RC helicopter back.
These RC Helicopters are supposed to be very good, the parts are cheap too. That's why I got one. I love RC Helicopters and I know I am learning, so not deterred I went and got an Align T-Rex 450 RC Helicopter. It was good to put the side by side and see the difference, all the wobbles I had with the Walkera 60B were not present on the T-Rex, and you can see the build quality difference. So now after 5 years I am able to hold a hover with an RC Helicopter without the impending crash at the end. I would also recommend a good flight simulator and actually use it, I have one but find I get bored after 5 minutes.
Recommendations:
The Walkera 60 B RC Helicopter is what it is, it is a cheap alternative for any pilot, with that in mind it is fine I am sure in the right hands, the cost of parts is cheap too.
