OMP Hobby M4 RC Helicopter Frame Motor ESC Servo Combo Kit

The M4 kits fit and finish is excellent throughout. I really like the design overall, and particularly the direct drive concept. Kit parts were well organized in bags that followed the assembly sequence in the manual. The manual has very clear drawings which were really all I used. The text is limited (typical of most kits I've built), and omitted details that experienced builders won't miss, but newer builders might.

I haven't flown it yet, but have run it up repeatedly (no blades) for governor setup. It runs extremely smooth and quiet. Honestly, the best I've seen - So quiet, I actually didn't believe my RPM telemetry when I set it up, and got out my tach to verify.

The main shaft was an extremely tight fit in both the one way bearing and the main bearings in the servo mount column. I polished mine (1500grit paper), which resolved the issue completely.

BuddyRC shipped it out quickly, and has a good part selection. I'll be back.

What a machine! Great service from Buddy RC.

I can't honestly review it because I haven't built it yet and probably won't for a few months. From what I've seen on videos it looks like a very solid helicopter so I'm sure I won't be disappointed!!

I have not gotten to fly this machine due to weather and I’m still programming and doing set up. However, I really like the way the kit goes together. Pretty straightforward and seems very rigid. I almost got the M4 Max at the same time but I’m not even an intermediate flyer. I would say I’m more of an intermediate beginner that really likes to build these cool little machines.
The only issue I had during the build process was when threading the control links together, one split and there wasn’t extras in the kit.
Westhobbiesrc was the convincing enough for me to get one
