RC ERA C129 V2 Flybarless 3D RC Helicopter Overview
The RC ERA C129 V2 is a compact, flybarless micro 3D helicopter built for both beginner and intermediate pilots. It combines a 6-axis gyro with barometric altitude hold, delivering outstanding stability, quick control response, and smooth flight performance. The upgraded V2 transmitter offers enhanced precision and responsiveness, making each flight feel effortless and fun.
Flybarless Design and 6-Axis Gyro Stability
The C129 V2 adopts a flybarless aerodynamic structure that reduces mechanical drag and increases efficiency. Combined with the 6-axis gyro stabilization system, it automatically maintains a steady hover and self-corrects during flight, making it ideal for indoor practice or calm outdoor flying sessions.
Altitude Hold and One-Key 3D Flip Function
Thanks to its built-in barometric sensor, the helicopter can maintain a fixed height automatically. With the one-key 3D flip button, you can perform forward, backward, or side rolls at the press of a switch — a perfect way to enjoy aerobatic fun without complex setup. Even if you’re new to RC helicopters, the C129 V2 makes 3D flight easy and safe.
Powerful Coreless Motors and Lightweight Construction
Equipped with an 8520 coreless main motor and 0615 tail motor, the C129 V2 offers efficient power delivery and quick yaw response. Its body shell is made from reinforced PA/PC composite materials that absorb impact and resist cracking. Despite weighing only 55g, it provides the durability needed for outdoor flying and minor crashes.
Modular Battery System and Extended Flight Time
The modular 3.7V 300mAh Li-ion battery slides in securely and charges via USB. Each pack delivers around 15 minutes of flight time. Multiple battery bundle options (1S–4S kits) allow extended practice sessions without downtime, and the low-voltage alarm ensures safe operation.
Upgraded 2.4GHz Transmitter Features
The redesigned V2 transmitter features a comfortable ergonomic layout and a responsive control feel. It supports multiple flight speed modes (Low/Medium/High), one-key takeoff/landing, large and small rudder conversion, and a dedicated 3D flip switch. It requires four AA batteries (not included) and operates at a control distance of up to 100 meters.
Package Options and Specifications
Choose from single, double, triple, or four-battery bundles. Each kit includes the helicopter, transmitter, charging cable, spare blades, tools, and English manual. The C129 V2 is ready to fly straight out of the box — no setup required.

FAQ
Q1: Can the C129 V2 fly outdoors?
A1: Yes, it can handle light to moderate winds (up to 15–20 mph) thanks to the 6-axis gyro and barometric hold system. Avoid strong gusts for best performance.
Q2: Is it suitable for beginners?
A2: Absolutely. The 6G stabilization mode and one-key takeoff/landing make it ideal for first-time pilots.
Q3: Does it support real 3D inverted flight?
A3: No, it performs automatic 3D flips using the one-key roll button, not full manual inverted control.
Q4: What’s the difference between C129 V1 and V2?
A4: The V2 version features an upgraded transmitter, stronger motors (8520/0615), and improved crash-resistant materials.
Q5: How long does the battery last?
A5: Each 3.7V 300mAh battery provides about 15 minutes of flight. Multi-battery packages are available for extended sessions.
