This is the Goosky S1 Legend
She arrived in some stores today, but Goosky's newest model, the S1 Legend, will definitely be available in most stores this week. These are our experiences so far with this very small helicopter.

Frank Lee from Goosky sent us a helicopter to review. He added:
Spoiler: we didn't. She couldn't be further from the rubbish bin. Because the helicopter is very good. In fact, it's surprisingly very good.

But what can be expected from a barely 30 cm (12 inches), i.e. a 150 size helicopter? Not much, given that she's a toy sized one. And then comes the Goosky S1 with the factory integrated FBL controller, so basically everything you need in a helicopter, because she even includes the FHSS receiver, but if you don't have an FHSS transmitter, then there are the ports for Futaba's S.BUS system, or for the DSMX or DSM2 receivers for example supported by Spektrum, and even with a Tarot FASST-S.BUS receiver, the helicopter can be flown with a FASST standard radio. Basically: she flies with almost everything.

With the S.BUS system, almost nothing had to be adjusted, practically a simple H1 helicopter program was set with three IDLE settings and it was done. Everything else was already factory set. If the swashplate does not get in line horizontally during the first boot, do not start tuning the settings, this is a pre-compensation before take-off, and the helicopter is most likely in ATTI aka stabilization mode.

Otherwise the helicopter behaves similarly to a coax helicopter or a drone in this mode. She doesn't have a GPS receiver or other sensors, there's some drifting, but she does that horizontally, so even very beginners can fly it easily - of course, after the appropriate basic knowledge learnt in simulator... She is not aggressive at all with the factory settings, maybe a little too soft, but when the stabilization is turned off, the little devil immediately emerges from her and starts behaving like a real helicopter.
And she does this surprisingly stably, although in this case she needs the RPM. At 50-55% throttle, she already takes off smoothly and comfortably, but in this case there isn't too much reserved power to correct mistakes. However, the power arrives around 75%, and then Goosky S1 really turns into a pro machine.

Gyro sensitivity cannot be controlled from the transmitter, the gyro channel is used as a stabilization switch. Below 0% there is no ATTI mode, but above it, it is active. Thus, if you set a pleasant starting head-lock value for the helicopter during setting up, you achieve exactly that by switching the stabilization on. It is worth reading the manual. Well, not the one that comes with the helicopter, because that's very short, but the detailed one, which is available on the Goosky website.
By the way, the gyroscope adjustment from the transmitter is not missing. The factory settings are so good that there is no tail wag at all. Her tail stands perfectly. And it turns like clockwork.

By the way, the helicopter herself is a very finely and beautifully crafted piece. The canopy is surprisingly solid, even though it's plastic, but it doesn't feel like yoghurt packaging. However - personal opinion - it looks a bit bulky with the tip of the nose being so high, but accessing the battery makes this necessary. In return, you don't have to remove the canopy to access the battery, which is a big deal, because that can be a particularly fiddly thing in this size.

The landing skids and the helicopter herself feel of good quality and durability, the skids can even take more aggressive landings as well. There's no cheapening or saving feeling on the helicopter. The price reflects that, although it cannot be called expensive either: the price of the BnF version without a transmitter in the UK is £200, and for £40 more, a Goosky radio arrives with her, although, that transmitter is not an ultimate one, but it should do in the RTF combo.
What good is a helicopter like this?
Well, more than what we expect from her. Fun, a perfect park helicopter, you can practice with her, beginners can learn the basics, she basically knows everything that the big ones do - of course with some appropriate limits. On the other hand, she is not expensive, she is not demanding, her battery costs 10-11 pounds, she fits everywhere, she can be taken out and flown almost anywhere.

Yes, almost anywhere, because she has neither a camera nor mass, so according to the current rules in most countries she does not reach the criteria for registration, insurance or anything else. In fact, based on this, the restrictions don't really apply to her - just don't fly with her at an airport. That's exactly why you can take her out in the garden, the park, the city, the football pitch - anywhere where you don't directly endanger people with her - and you can fly. And you can do all this without having to give up the experience of 3D flight.
Worth the price?
By all means. We can't argue with her yet, even though we really wanted to. Well, except one thing. It is worth checking whether servo leads don't touch the main shaft, because in the factory condition, in our case, one of the servo leads was quite close to it, we moved it a little further away. And one more comment: the one battery provided by the factory won't be enough, because you can't really stop flying with her.
