Who Goosky suits
- S1: a good small collective pitch helicopter for anyone who has learned the basics, cheap to crash and quick to fix.
- S2: steadier in wind thanks to its size; a good outdoor sport helicopter.
- RS series: for experienced pilots wanting a full-size helicopter without the price of the top European brands.
For a first helicopter, read best RC helicopters for beginners and think about practising on an RC flight simulator first.
Spares and repairs
Goosky parts are well stocked in the UK. On the S1, typical crash parts are main blades, the main shaft, blade grips and landing gear. Larger RS models need the usual collective pitch checks after any crash: see after a crash: checks and repairs.
How it compares
Goosky and OMPHobby are close rivals at the small end; choose on radio compatibility and which parts your dealer stocks. At the large end, the RS series competes with Align on price. Blade remains the easiest for complete beginners thanks to its SAFE modes.
