Less than 45 minutes of charging time will be necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the good shape of your battery, it is advisable to wait about ten minutes after a gaming session before recharging it. The battery must have cooled down before recharging it. Likewise, after recharging, leave it for a few minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lipo batteries require precautions for use, I invite you to consult this article : <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carrera-fun.com\/?p=2389\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2389\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Batterie LiPo : conseils d\u2019utilisation et d\u2019entretien<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Comparisons<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I have static helicopters in 1\/43rd scale and I couldn&rsquo;t resist comparing one of them to the Carrera one.<br>The scale is very close and the RC model is well made.

For this first flight, I have a large warehouse with a large space on a truck unloading area. A ceiling height of more than 10 meters should be enough. Be careful, this helicopter is designed for outdoor flights. Do not fly in a house.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carrera-fun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/bull_1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4778\" style=\"width:369px;height:207px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carrera-fun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/bull_1.png 800w, https:\/\/www.carrera-fun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/bull_1-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.carrera-fun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/bull_1-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.carrera-fun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/bull_1-600x338.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>For this first flight, I chose the heliport \u00ab\u00a019B\u00a0\u00bb as a take-off runway, I press the automatic take-off button, the propeller starts to turn and the helicopter takes off to automatically position itself at almost 2m high.<br>In the warehouse, there is no wind, the helicopter is very stable, I barely need to adjust the trims on the remote control for this first flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I gently operate each command to understand its reactions. The BO 105 C reacts well to orders smoothly and smoothly. Flying over pallets, going around poles, climbing and flying at altitude, the helicopter does not weaken. It is a real pleasure to have a helicopter that looks like a model fly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"298\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carrera-fun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/bull_3-1024x298.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4776\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carrera-fun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/bull_3-1024x298.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.carrera-fun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/bull_3-300x87.png 300w, https:\/\/www.carrera-fun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/bull_3-768x223.png 768w, https:\/\/www.carrera-fun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/bull_3-600x175.png 600w, https:\/\/www.carrera-fun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/bull_3.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For the landing, I opt for caution, despite the automatic function, I prefer to be sure. This is the most dangerous phase, if the helicopter tilts, it risks damaging the blades and their mechanism.<br>I approach the helicopter next to me at 1.5m from the ground, and I catch it by the skids, in flight before cutting the rotors. Be careful, this method requires good control, because at the slightest problem, the moving blades can hit you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Comparison with other aircraft<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first few minutes of flight I was a little disturbed. I am used to flying with drones, or with \u00ab\u00a0classic\u00a0\u00bb helicopters. Usually helicopters have 2 levels of blades rotating in different directions with a level with stabilizers. We can move these helicopters forward\/backward, up\/down and left\/right in rotation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here our helicopter has all the behavior of a drone, because in addition we have the left right translation movements. Visually you have a helicopter and the agile flight sensation of a drone in piloting. Disturbing the first few minutes, it quickly becomes a real pleasure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then it is indeed this Red Bull Bo 105 from Carrera which faithfully reproduces the behavior of a real helicopter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"238\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carrera-fun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/bull_4-1024x238.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4775\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carrera-fun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/bull_4-1024x238.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.carrera-fun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/bull_4-300x70.png 300w, https:\/\/www.carrera-fun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/bull_4-768x179.png 768w, https:\/\/www.carrera-fun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/bull_4-600x140.png 600w, https:\/\/www.carrera-fun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/bull_4.png 1530w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An excellent helicopter not only very beautiful and well made.
