Few things, never use trim tabs on the radio with a FBL heli. The problem with the 330s and the tail belt losing up is normal with the plastic frame. The plastic frame will never get tight enough to clamp down on the boom. As far as head speed it’s normal to have a high head speed in stunt 1 or 2. If your serious about flying helis get your self a good programable radio so you can set your throttle curves to your liking witch will lower or raise your head speed.
I did get a good radio, It's a spektrum NX6 I have a video on it. I should do an update to this video. This heli is incredible with the spektrum NX6 it flies excellent now, and this video is also 7+ months old.
Iv commented on your other video complaining about my 330s. But head speed changing is another problem Iv had over the last year. Horizon told me temps effect the electronics. And I should let it sit out before flying so the electronics adjust it hasn’t helped
I think I remember responding to your other comments, if I haven't sorry about that, The changing head speed in safe mode is a problem I had as well when my helicopter was sent back to horizon I asked them to fix that, and they did, try to see if you can send the helicopter back or take it to a hobby shop that can electronically lower the head speed. I think you have to plug the radio transmitter into a computer or hook up the heli's ESC to a computer or something to adjust it.
Hey Caleb, I haven’t forgot about you bud I’m just waiting for the weather to be more calm, it’s been super windy here lately and I’m waiting for the perfect time to fly, a couple things I wanna say after watching your video, make sure you trim out your heli and kinda of observe it in a hover, tail facing you to see if you get any drift, if you do make the trim adjustments, also be careful not to over think things, I’m not saying your doing that but I’m just saying in my past experiences I tended to do that, I take the “ if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” approach now, so if the tail is ok and it’s flying like it’s supposed to, I wouldn’t worry about adjusting the belt and be sure not to over tighten screws on the heli, good video brother and my goal is to make a flight video today probably at dusk cause it’s really windy right now
Ha ha ha, It's been pretty windy here in Maine too, are you gonna challenge someone else in the video? The tail belt I'm gonna leave it how it is, but I did try trimming out the helicopter at first and I wasn't getting anywhere, with out giving it a lot of left trim and left stick, The servo re calibration fixed that, I had called my local hobby store and they said it sounds like the servo's need to be recalibrated, I need to ask them about the higher head speed, Good luck in the challenge.
@@rcreviews9894 I encourage you to challenge someone else, to the rc helicopter hover challenge if you find out you can't do it today, then that's quite alright maybe tomorrow.
@@calebsrccrawlers My battery lights are not working as well. But do you get the audio warning from the transmitter that the battery is low? The remote is supposed to do both.
@@colearthur8868 it is? Really? Huh I don't get the low battery alarm either, my helicopters ESC makes a beeping noise when it's battery gets low. Right now it's at horizon hobby having a warranty issue fixed. I'll email them with a note about that.
If you’re really concerned about the tail boom clamp you can file down the inside of the frame so there’s more room to clamp. Don’t blame me when you start snapping belts though.Spektrum battery’s are a scam.
If you want to learn to fly RC helicopters, and if you want to stick with Blade brand rc helicopters probably start with the Blade 70s or the Nano S if you want to learn 3D.
I have the bnf version. It flies ok, but needs a lot of trim in safe mode. The RTF versions I hear are trimmed al lot better, and the QC is more thorough
@@robertwren2289 the 330s RTF flies great I just got my first Spektrum computer radio on dec 25th it’s an NX6 I bound it to that radio and it flies a little better then the stock radio, how ever my 330s is kind of a later version I think it’s the second version of the 330s. The 330s is very stable in safe mode I have only tried intermediate mode once it was alright but needed a bunch of trim and my servos would glitch for some reason want to bank the heli right really hard that was with the RTF transmitter the servos do seem to be somewhat glitchy with this helicopter you’ll notice it after a couple flights, I kind of think it’s the safe mode doing its thing how ever, the next day you take the helicopter out it acts like nothing ever happened. So you will probably have to keep your hands on the sticks at all times and Not do the “Look, no hands” ha ha ha. And I also would recommend using higher C rated batteries I am using 30c and I should probably be using a minimum of 40c, The stock batteries are 30c and they get very Hot to the touch and a higher c rating would not get as hot. In the cold the 30c batteries get kind of warm but they only last 2-3 minutes when it’s 10 degrees Fahrenheit outside.
hey there caleb, i know this video is 3 years old, but i had the same battery isseu,,,mine chipt of as well. the motor made a small cut into the battery. i have been flying the blade 230s for a while, but i was a beginner, after some flights and on the real flight simulator 9.5 i upgraded a bit. then came out the 330S,, awesome ...a bigger heli,, i have been flying now, but i had a little crash,,,not mayjor... i wanted to calibrate my 330S,,but nothing happend?? i went to the sit of horizon hobby, to check how to calibrate your 330S the only thing i saw was how to calibrate you 230S,, OK,,,,, I contacted horizon how to do it with the 330s, they said it was the same as the 230S,,,, but unfortunally nothing happend i have read all of the manual and searched all internet,,,,but really. nothing i have the RTF with the DXS transmitter,so its not progammable i was wondering how did tou calibrate your 330S on the transmitter? and also to get your swasplate level???? best regards richie
@@Richard3D-HeliPilot ok, so my manual on my 330s tells me how to do calibrate it. Look for a 1st gen 330s manual, I might be able to give you the directions later, I have to locate my manual first, it’s not that difficult to calibrate it. I now use a Spektrum NX6 transmitter helps a lot, also my local hobby store has been a huge help with setting up the transmitter.
@@calebsrccrawlers yes it does, but nothing happend,, only the servos made a noise. in the mean while i noticed that my swashplate is not level when i turn on the power i saw in your video that yours was a little bit of,,,, mine is extremely leaning forward ( i think of the crash) how can i fix this???
@@Richard3D-HeliPilot give this a try and let me know how it works, take the servo arms off the servo horns on all the servos and then, power on the helicopter re attach the servo arms and make sure the swash is level when you put the servo arms back on, also make sure it's a level surface, also the safe technology in the beginner mode will make the swash tilt even when the helicopter is sitting level and the rotor blades are still, hopefully this helps.
The manual doesn't specify, but I think your right, either that or I didn't reset the lights properly, the manual says you have to reset the lights after every flight I think.
@@calebsrccrawlers oh Boy, I have been emailing tech support at Horizon for a week and they assured me it {the ESC} just needed to updated. So I am waiting for my programmer to come so I can do the update. Hope it works. BTW does your 330s pitch to the front left hard when taking off?
@@colearthur8868 nose in or tail in orentation? When I'm in tail in orentation it does pitch to the right some what but not enough to bank the helicopter over and cause a crash.
I have the same issue on my blade 330S rtf. In flight battery indicator isn't working and having a hard time finding the trim flight procedure. The manual refers to it but I can't find it in there.
I have had a 330s for a week it's junk mine showed up damaged an horizon hobbies are the worst customer service I know of an thank God I'm in the law firm they will pay
10/4 I think the 330s is a total hit or mis, either you get one that works or you get one that doesn’t mine had to back to blade to have some stuff fixed. Hopefully you get your issue solved. People in the comments get so pissed because my results are different than theirs! It’s pretty funny though.
Loosen the tail boom support clamp dude. Adjust the boom. Tighten the boom clamp again. Adjust the Safe mode with attitude trim dude. Nothing wrong with that helicopter. It’s a heli. If you don’t like the rpm, buy a real transmitter and use the throttle curve adjustment.
CoeShow619,I've seen almost all your heli videos, keep up the great work. And your right there is nothing wrong with it, it's all operator error. (My negligence) I understand the helicopter a lot better now. I check the tail belt tension before every flight and make adjustments to it, if it's needed. I have been debating weather or not to take this video down, because I was new to the helicopter then, I didn't understand some things when I thought I did. I am not new to RC helis I have been flying ultra micros for years. Also I did get a Real transmitter, it's a spectrum NX6, I need to finish making my video on it. It's an awesome transmitter.
