Last month, my little helicopter E150 hit my leg. It broke my pants and tore a 4cm cut on my leg, it really freaked me out. This is not a toy.

@RCStuffvideos 2 года назад

Wow. Bloody hell. Good job it wasn't worse.

@darkracer1252 Год назад

anything with a rotor diameter of more then 300. kindof scares me. especially when it's in idle up.

@davids8345 Год назад

wow, that watermelon thing was a real eye-opener...

@joebo9378 2 года назад

My bail out is always straight up. Plane, heli, drone. If I ever get confused or something goes wrong I just get it as far away from me and other people as fast as possible. You can replace a toy, not a person.

@adolfredohernandez9439 2 года назад

Kill switch is a good option too

@James28R Год назад

that doesnt work if the heli is pointed towards you disk first..

@bjrnbulhoff499 4 месяца назад

@@adolfredohernandez9439 kill switch can help you if you are a good distance away but it's coming towards you at speed. But if the heli is very close to you in a hover and you lose orientation or whatsoever, easiest way to save yourself is pitch up. If the heli goes into the ground close to you it still can throw a bunch of pieces towards you, and if you have a certain size of heli you also have a considerable amount of momentum in the rotor system. A 700+ size won't immediately fall out of the sky by a killswitch. I definitely prefer the pitch up option about a kill switch.

This should be a must watch for all of us who fly or plan to fly RC helicopters. They are in fact, unguarded flying lawn lowers.

@Gavs_rc_hobbies 2 года назад

People seem to not realise the dangers of rc helicopters. Regular maintenance is also a key factor to safe heli flying as well.

@RCStuffvideos 2 года назад

Yes very true. I guess i could have mention that too. Maybe I'll do a separate video on maintenance and pre flight checks type thing.

@adammccarthy2157 Год назад

Your video convinced me to man up and fly my Hirobo Sceadu I restored, after using sim I did my first flight with no training gear and now progress each flight Cheers Mate

@ramsandrzr3706 2 года назад

Very well said helis can be dangerous for sure. But if flown right they can be a blast. I’m always cautious especially when spooling up my 450s very intimidating. Great video 👍👍👍👍

@darkracer1252 Год назад

i feel like i need to make sure that you understand that there is no diffrence between heli's being dangerous. and "flying right" even when flown right they are still dangerous. make sure you realise this.

@nightshadehelis9821 2 года назад

I've been flying smack 3d for a while. Being said, I've probably waisted over 10k from my crashes. Sometimes you can build everything right a fluke will send it to its grave. I almost died twice and gave up for years. Being an idiot I got sucked into this frustrating and expensive hobby again. I love it.

@RCStuffvideos 2 года назад

Wow. What happened exactly on the Times you nearly died twice?

@nightshadehelis9821 2 года назад

I'm embarrassed to admit this, but I was still learning the basics and I lost orientation while it was against the sky. I couldn't tell which direction it was going and it started flying really far away. A friend helped coach me and I got it near us, but because it was facing a different direction I sent it towards my face instead of away. I jumped a second before and it whizzed by me. It was so damn close. I had no business flying while being so inexperienced. It was more of a close call than anything else. I discovered simulators and I've grown so much. Now I'm building my first turbine heli. Just curious, how long did it take you to reach this level?

@jeffs7915 2 года назад

@@nightshadehelis9821 It's usually heard from some pilots , "It's all part of the hobby" . Usually after a crash, from pilot error or mechanical failure. Too little respect invites catastrophe.

@SquiggyWigginz Год назад

Only 10k? You're not flying hard enough. Lol I'd say I spend 3000-5000 every flying season..."how low can you go" Yada yada...

@eriks87cam702 Год назад

Honestly I’m glad I saw this video… I haven’t actually stoped to think about the actual dangerous part of even piloting a heli…. I fly a small one at the moment … and barely does anything more than a scratch do to the design ..but I’m about to move up in scale and honestly this is eye opening …👌 good job making this video

@Heli4213 9 месяцев назад

Many pilots fly too close to themselves. Especially professionals. And I always hear people saying oh, they're really good. It has nothing to do with how good you are. When something goes wrong with the helicopter. It doesn't matter how great you are something's gonna happen.

@RCStuffvideos 9 месяцев назад

Exactly 💯

@ronaldgreen5292 Год назад

The head-speed, or rotor rpms, are between 1800-3000, depending on the size of the helicopter! Especially if it's a Collective pitch helicopter! Lots of energy being created!

@James28R Год назад

no energy was being created

@yobrojoost9497 10 месяцев назад

Great video! I got myself a XK110s, great little flyer. I'm being careful with it though, set it up quite docile and not trying any 3D yet, just scale flying for now. Looking to get a simulator to learn that aerobatic stuff before I try it for real.

@ahwayzcool4630 Год назад

I've been flying rc helis for 11 years now. I had a guy 2 years ago was bugging me to teach him to fly and I told him the truth about it. Its VERY difficult and flying a plane is way easier. Told him its gonna take ALOT of commitment, crashes and repairs. Helis at 400 size and up are dangerous and expensive to fix when you crash. Wasnt trying to scare him away but just tell him the reality of it. He saw me flying my 700 size heli doing big air stunts and 3d stuff and he was amazed.

@RCStuffvideos Год назад

Yeah people think they're toys. Like they're easy to fly like drones. I mentioned to a colleague briefly about flying rc helicopters and they laughed like they going it was a little kids toy. I was like no, these things can kill and are harder to handle than an airliner.

@ahwayzcool4630 Год назад

@@RCStuffvideos True. That guy that bugged me? I told him to buy a blade 250 with safe on it. Told him it will be a good starting heli. Dude goes and buys an M2 micro collective pitch. I told him thats and advanced heli, not for beginners. Lol. I set it up as soft as possible for him. He had a hard time with it but after a few weeks was starting to get the hang of it. Then he wants to buy my 550x Align heli so I sold it to him and set that up as beginner friendly as I could. Gave him many precautions of what NOT to do. Long story short I heard from a friend of mine he funked up his hand. He tried to hover in his small back yard, heli drifted towards him and he panicked and blades hit his hand. Had to get stitches and everything. He quit flying helis now and just do planes. He tried to run before learning how to walk. Lol

@nfavor Год назад

I'd call myself a basic to intermediate sport flier. I'm addicted but the time investment is far more than most people would imagine. I understand most of the videos don't want to scare people away but the time commitment is the elephant almost none of the videos talk about.

@ryanrekz7744 13 дней назад

I push myself on the sim because if I do crash reset button, irl I worry about safety over what maneuvers I think I can do

I have an intermediate level in RC plane and RC fpv quad, but i am beginning in the rc heli hobby. I find it difficult for the moment . (i felt same difficulties when i was learning rc plane and rc quad, so i know skills come very tittle by tittle with training:) ). Thank you very much for your videos, and these safety advices.

@RubenRC94 Год назад

Good video there's way too little talk about heli safety. Heli's are amazing and I absolutely love flying them. But they can be really dangerous even if you're a amazing pilot. There's always the chance to loose orientation or have a mechanical failure happen. Anything over a 400 size wil SERIOUSLY mess you up when you get hit. For all new people in the hobby take it slow be safe and have fun.

@RCStuffvideos Год назад

Yen true. For these reasons people don't understand how intense it can be. Getting your heart rate up, adrenaline etc. Sometimes it can be good to mix with fixed wing or drone for easier more relaxed flying

@grilledcheeselord1 Год назад

A few days ago I went to pick up my RC helicopter while it was still flying cause it got out of control, and I accidentally put my index finger on the blades that were spinning on 100% throttle. Lucky I passed just with a small scratch... Not with death.

@darkracer1252 Год назад

is this one of the tips? when i loose orientation. go tail in... really? I LOST ORIENTATION!!!!! if i am able to go tail in. then i am not disoriented.. easy to say. but impossible to do.

@RCStuffvideos Год назад

It's not impossible to do. You can go tail in if you're disorientated, You could be nose in and lose track of the fact the left and right is reversed and forwards and back is reversed. Just quickly input tail until it's towards you then all controls make sense. I'm not the first to suggest this.

@evilpandakillabzonattkoccu4879 Год назад

If you want to fly and not worry about dying: get a tiny indoor RC helicopter. 👍 Your finger will actually stop the rotor, most times. Sometimes it will pinch but it's never cut my skin. That being said: It could still cut or hurt you. You are just less likely to die. ....plus: it's a challenge flying through the halls and landing it in different places. Up the challenge and turn some fans on. don't have your kids shoot Nerf darts at it, however. it will break... like you told them it would 😑😒😄

03:48 or you try something as arcady as accuRC. never flown a collective pitch helicopter before and yet somehow are flying inverted or doing back and forths between inverted and normal. right off the bat. no training. BECAUSE ACCURC SUCKS!!!!!!

@darkracer1252 Год назад

accurc is a piece of crap. the worst piece of software that has EVER been on my pc. or is it realistic that my helicopter crashes into the ground. 6 feet above the ground? might aswel remove the entire background and fly around in an empty white box. anyone that says that accuRC is a good simulator should be banned from the hobby all together. be made to watch as their models get thrown in a wood chipper.

@RCStuffvideos Год назад

HAHAHA brilliant. I've never had anything like that on my sim. Neither has anyone I know. Maybe your laptops specs aren't good enough? Or there's another glitch on your laptop? Whatever the reason, your experience isn't the norm.
