I love like big RC helicopters. Example. 800 size fully belt driven (Even the main rotor) with just a dual blade setup on a scale setup like EC 145 or airwolf!
When he said learning to fly is not fun learning to hover the four point is boring I lost interest… Because he's wrong. Anyone that can see My words Here's the biggest tip that these guys probably don't even know. You must really want to fly you have to have a fascination for helicopters in your heart. That's it… By the way I'm a helicopter pilot flying a Sweitzer 300 and when I was learning those simple techniques I loved every moment of it and that's why I can fly today.
Anyone know what gear ratio he was using ? Talking he mentions never exceed a certain head speed (1960 ?), but thats only part of it, we need to know what engine RPM that is, based on gear ratio.
I bought a red cat ascent 18 it said it’ll be here in 4 to 5 business days and it still hasn’t got here and it’s been 6 to 7 business days. What do I do? Please help me
Saying that all helicopters undergo a flight test is a blatant lie. I bought a Goosky S2 and the swashplate was so out of whack that it would have been BNC (Bind 'n Crash) instead of BNF! If the helis are not calibrated, I would appreciate that Goosky at least includes a swashplate leveler. Talking about a swashplate leveler, I'm not aware if there is one commercially available, so I leveled as best as I could with the 'zip tie' method. In that sense, the Goosky S2 is not that beginner friendly as widely publicised by the Influencer crowd on RU-vid.
great video, Got a question, what do i use to charge my GOOSKY S2 ?? i don’t know where to find a charger & im a beginner and need help. this isn’t the experience i was hoping for
Are there more videos in this series? I assume there are because the description states "another episode in the HeliDirect Beginner series" but I can't find them. This would make a good playlist. Oh, and thank-you for making this.
I think Tareq needs to make some how too videos for his channel. Like, take the most commonly asked things, and address them with a video when he has time, instead of trying to answer individual people all the time on messaging apps. I always love to see how humble and giving he is with his time, even though he is very busy. A great ambassador for our hobby.
In my day it was a Hirobo Shuttle with a 30 engine, some form of JR radio and if you were lucky, a mechanical gyro. Then the CSM360 piezo gyro came out and that was a total game changer. I still have my heli hanging from the ceiling in the other room but I haven’t flown it in at least 10 years.
I highly recommend against using wd40 and instead use pure silicone shock oil they use for RC cars which has no additives, solvents or aerosols unlike wd40. Maybe wd40 is good for doors for your house, but not a high performance and expensive machine like a rc heli.
WD40---> "Silicone Quick drying" version is what i use. I dont think anyone should be using WD40 original on a belt. I did make mention of this info in the video. However I've used many versions of silicone spray in the past and never had an issue with any of them. Food grade or not...
@@hermanquinones yea, but still contains solvents in it that who knows their long term effects (talking 4-5 years at least) on the tail belt. At least with pure silicone shock oil, you definitely know what you are putting on it and that it won't react negatively in the long term. I mean, lubing the belt in the first place is to increase the life of the belt, why do questionable stuff that can compromise it? Also, with pure silicone shock oil you can get different weights of oil, so you can even optimize performance there too.
@@stuffD-fh8vfnot sure if you are talking about other sprays. But according to the wd40 silicone spray composition information sheet… the only solvent is the one used to carry the silicone spray which is LVP and immediately evaporates. That said, you are right. It’s something to consider for those using other types of sprays and not cross-referencing the info sheet. Also… maintenance should still be done and that includes but not limited to belt replacement.
Probably too tight, rarely do i see a loose belt snap. they should be looser than you think they should be. too tight = more heat and friction as well as higher power consumption. i've never had a belt snap on me but i've seen it happen. if you see black dust around your pulleys or guides, that's another easy way to tell it's too tight. jeff west of westhobbies rc has a good video on belt tension if you need any visual on how it should be.
Normally if you have a belt break it’s because it’s to tight. Personally the only time I ever spray or use silicone oil (3:1 silicone oil works great) is if I’m having a static issue. I’ve got tail belts with hundreds of flights and belt was never touched with oil.
@@westhobbiesrc8051plus one. In all my time flying helis the only time I used a belt dressing was on a Msh Protos to help eliminate static. I've never broke a belt dry under normal use. Having said that I'm sure dressing them is just fine but from what I hear, once you start you have to keep it up
You mention you alway do your blade or head angle measuring on the blade over the boom. I assumed and have always done mine with the blade to the front. Is there a difference? Does it matter? Have I been doing it wrong all these years?
One of the best videos seen so far. Synthetic, fast but complete. The perfect combination of the three things I love and which are difficult to achieve.
The best is to get a 127 ready to fly for about 60 bucks. I am amazed at how great these are!! So light it can crash and rarely break. I love to fly it inside my living room. Long fight time. So cheap you can buy 2 and learn and learn.
Not bad for first try. Next time fit the mechanism lower, the motor shouldn't be outside. Add detailled interior, 5-blade main rotor and change tail rotor to the left side.
