The OMPHobby M1 is a 130 size micro 3D RC helicopter with predictable and fluid flight characteristics that will not disappoint.
Regardless of your flying style, from tame to insane, this little micro collective pitch RC helicopter will do it all well. The M1 is the smoothest flying 130 size RC helicopters I've ever flown!

The M1, just like the M2 uses a low speed, high torque large diameter direct drive brushless main motor instead of a less expensive smaller high speed, low torque motor with pinion and main gear. This is the biggest difference between it and every other micro heli in this size segment currently on the market.

A direct drive brushless main motor is a more expensive way to run the main rotor, but it has so many advantages... Efficient, quiet, powerful, operates nice & cool (longer motor & bearing life), is way more robust and reduces the parts count. It also looks great!

Combining a powerful direct drive tail motor to the mix which gives class leading tail lock & authority, along with an outstanding design & bright easy to see canopy graphics simply makes the OMPHobby M1 a joy to own & pilot. This is what RC helicopter fun is all about.

Fall 2022 Update. The M1 / M1 EVO now come in a Futaba S-FHSS protocol version as well as the OMP protocol version - see links below.
