Great helicopter especially if your new you can really give this thing a beating even experienced flyers will have it good customizing the gyro speed agility and it's really cheap and easy to fix haven't replaced original blades yet I've Crashed 8 times had it for 3 months and almost 50 flights still strong 💪

The heli itself is well constructed and has the ability to perform better than most machines of its size. The BNF setup is not intuitive and there are confusing and conflicting You Tube videos explaining it. Although it is capable of being flown using the OMP protocol ( built in receiver) I strongly recommend adding a Spektrum or Futaba remote receiver and controlling it that way. Despite flying helis for over 30yrs. I struggled to get this one set up as I like. Once set up with a futaba receiver it flies like a dream.

Bought this after flying a fixed pitch heli for the past couple of years. The difference is amazing, the M2 is much more precise and almost easier (with the stabilization on) to fly than the my old fixed pitch heli.
Build quality is top notch also.

Great service
Nice price
Fast delivery
Nice to do business with

good service and wonderful product. What more can I say?

This review is for the explorer version. This is a very well built and very well engineered heli. Not that it needed it but I took apart and inspected the main head before maiden flight. I just do that with all helis I don't initially put together my self. There was plenty of grease in the thrust bearings. The feathering shaft screws did need blue locktight. All other screws were tight and had either locktight or ca glue. I also replaced the carbon composit blade grips whith aluminum ones. I just like those better. Everything else is stock. I used a Frsky R-XSR receiver hooked into the Sbus port. And bound it to a Jumper T16 pro hall TX. (I also build and fly FPV freestyle quads so to me setup was easy) I wanted to use a satellite receiver so to take advantage of OpenTx programming. The OMP receiver I don't think will allow you to setup custom pitch and throttle curves and this is essential in tuning the flight characteristics to your liking. The main head components are smooth and tight. There is no play in the linkage at all. Very precision built. (I'm also a CNC machinist and programmer so I can appreciate the main head components fitting very precise) The motors are very high quality and very smooth running. The tail motor works very well. Super powerful and won't blow out on you. The direct drive main motor is a very good design and is smooth and quiet. All you hear is blade noise, and it sounds great in the air. I got 8 min flights just flying scale circuits with 3.70 ish resting Volts per cell. This heli flies smooth, stable and rock solid. It is as responsive as you like it to be and could be tamed down to be an excelent trainer if paired with a TX that has pitch and throttle curve programming. OMP Hobby did an excellent job with this one. I would not hesitate at all to pick this one up if you're looking for a 180 to 200 size heli. This heli way out performs my Trex 450 flybar clone.

I've been a loyal fan of another brand for many many years. This heli just changed my outlook. It is extremely well built and stable mode works as it claims. But once in idle up 2 or VIOLENT 3d it is exactly that. This heli screams for being smacked around. I absolutely love this hummingbird on crack :) Although a bit above my level in Violent it is still stable and reacts to your inputs only. Just very quickly so be careful. This is the best of it's class hobby grade heli I've ever flown. And it allows 3 modes for you to grow with it. Thank you for the great product and unprecedented customer service.

Have flown bigger 700 size 10 years ago and wanted something quick, fun, and easy. This hits all the right spots! Get one and see what all the fuss is about.

It was a pleasure working with you
Look forward to working with you again

Received the OMP Hobby M2 Explore about two weeks ago. I finally got all the other stuff I need to work this new heli. Namely, a satellite receiver (Spektrum DSMX Remote RC Receiver (SPM9745)) and an XT-30 charging cable for the battery. I got everything integrated and charged yesterday. Watched TJ's programming video to set up my transmitter and voila! It all worked. I have just hovered it and done some limited flying in my driveway, but I love how quiet this heli is. Look forward to getting it out into some open space and really flying.

This heli is well put together. First rate materials (carbon fiber, aluminum, and plastic). Very impressed.

this is a great helicopter. very easy to control and plenty of power.

This heli has a very wide envelope from beginner to smack 3D and its smooth, quiet, and efficient too. One of the best hobby products I've ever purchased!

The omphobby m2 is super stable and locked in. I feel that it flies just as good if not better than my 450L. I am using my gen 1 dx8 with a genric spektrum sat that has a bind button. I used to have the 180cfx and this guy is miles better probably the best heli I have flown.

The M2 is fantastic, thank you for the setup videos also! Followed it and it flew perfect. Thank you!
