Hi! I sold my x5 but still had my custom canopy laying around so I tried the x5 canopy on my stretch Gaui x4ii. The only thing I had to do was make 2 new holes for the front canopy post to fit it. So I really have a modernized x5 now.

Since my X5 got new tail boom case and some new pics:

Yup, it does look lovely

I got it in a store in Poland (in Warsaw to be exact) called Art-Hobby - which is also a GAUI distributor in PL.

The website is all in polish however:

and more parts for X5 (with more colour versions of canopies as well):

hope it's ok to post these links?

Few packs for the x5 and tanks for the nx5 today

My flying season is pretty much over for this year until spring but we had some decent weather yesterday and I was able to take an extended lunch hour and get a couple quick flights in at the club.

My X5 tale is a precautionary one. Avoid large parts lots on ebay. If you buy one, these things just don't stop emerging from your parts bins.

why you have to be like me

karl1081 · 08-11-2019, 06:19 AM

love this heli

I picked up a little X5 from my LHS. I think it's cute, LOL. Flys nicely and has a light, but stable feel.

Here's my second hand X5. It still has original Motor, ESC and tail servo. I'm flying it on Spektrum FC6250HX, after an incident with the BeastX it came with. I wanted rescue and had the 6250 laying around after scrapping a Blade 330S.

I've been struggling to get more than just one or two flights per session on it. If I'm not dumb-thumbing there's a mechanical issue, and if there's neither some external force cuts my flying window short.

Starting to question whether the bad spirits that haunted my 330S followed with the 6250 to my X5.

Oh, well, I like how it flies when it flies.

I've had this guy for a few years now. Doesn't seem to mind the cold and snow, as long as the Lipos are warm!

my GAUI X5 V1 is running a like a swiss clock, (its is an old geezer). eats as much flights in 1 sorting that I can throw at it. I have 5 lipo's for this heli and I have a charger / genny , so it can easily hit 8 to 10 flights on a sorting.
The airframe and technical aspects are solid
Unless I crash it , I only see it on the workbench during winter maintenance.

Tobbe Arnesson · 12-03-2020, 06:35 AM

Knock on wood, but I've had 4 x 4 successful flights with it now. I'm not counting the last landing at -5°C, I got surprised at the sink rate when I hit throttle hold a couple of feet high and made a hard landing. Snapped the landing gear and one ski fell off. Managed to keep it level with cyclic until the head speed was almost gone, so no more damage!

Here is mine
Done the carbon push rod from the start.

danzig483 · 10-12-2023, 03:26 PM

In my opinion one of the best helicopters, this is mine X5. I have it since 2 years, I bought to a friend who did more than one thousand of flights with him. I´ll hope use the X5 for many years.
