See, this is what I love about your channel: "The only 'right way' is whichever way, that puts the biggest smile on your face." --Kevin Talbot I wish people had that outlook in this hobby twelve years ago, when I first got into it & started learning to fly radio controlled helicopters.
Toys are for kids you tell her when a rc car can break an ankle if you get hit with it because is can drive around 100 mph it a considered a hobby and but some women have their own set of toy to help them relax and this is your stress releasing hobby
Beautifull heli! align is probaly the Best overall heli brand you can get they have amazing flying capabilities! Can't wait for the Maiden flight! Keep up your good work kev!
i really like how much Kev doesn't care about what other people think. I have trouble with that stuff and seeing something like this helps me out. Thanks for the great content Kev!!
Recently bought a blade MCPS and am getting into the helicopter rc hobby myself. Respect to you Kevin because until you drive these collective pitch helicopters, you seriously don’t know how hard it is 😬
That thing is sick... Haha To this day I don't understand how to fly one of these. I'm more about bashing and SENDING IT with my channel but props to you for doing it all Kev!
in theory it's prity much the same controls as a multyrotor , in practice it's it's a totally different ball game haha not that i have ever flown one i just know a few people who do
Yes Kev been waiting for this video maybe you'll get me in to these just like you did with crawling love the video dude keep it up hope to bump in to you at Paddlesworth at some point
Kevin, it's not a toy; It's a model! There's a BIG difference. Remember though, that the only difference between men and boys is that men play with bigger toys! Boom, Boom!
I have a 450 and 500. And always thought they were BIG. A 600 is a monster sized heli. Awesome Build! Align Helis fly Amazing. Always wanted to build one with a Glow engine. This might be the Motivation I Needed.
Hey Kev, check the screw that holds the throttlearm on the carb. On my OS eingine its becoms lose and stayed on fullthrottle till the tank was empty. Not so good for a new engine...
I love building and modifying RC cars almost as much as I enjoy using them. I’ve often thought of building an RC Helicopter just for the fun. But I’m fairly certain I would never fly it.
I learnt to fly on a 450 trex, cost me like 2500 euro before I could fly, still can't do inverted, that messes with my head, like your skills on the smaller grasscutters 😁😁 Got nearly all sizes of them trex, s they rock 👍can't wait to see your maiden. Ohh and a small dab with 270 locktite is plenty enough on the featheringshaft bolts, that's gone be hell to replace. 😜
Very cool, I'm not into heli's, but love seeing all the bits go together on any RC product !! Gotta say, looks like a monster !!! And yes, it's a toy, just not a kid's toy. If you stop playing, if you stop having fun, then you are probably dead, and just not buried yet. Playing and having fun is not age related, it's a part of life.
Kev the rotor pitch values are actually quite important. Each airfoil has an efficiency range, once the pitch because too great you will lose lift and the helicopter will drop like a rock. You are correct that you can correct it in the field while flying. Most guys go crazy tuning the pitch to perfection in order to get the best performance but eyeballing it while flying would still give you the performance you are looking for
Had lots of helcopters,not good,but this one is the biggest one I ever seen, I'll stay w with my Drones and crawlers and drift car's,but leave it to Kevin,trys everything, your so cool,I would really love to meet you in person,I'm the same way here in the USA,wish I could spend one week with you in the UK, and run the RC every day ,and tade some tricks to each other,keep it up Kevin, I'm just as bad with RC here in usa
RC HOBBY LIFE ISNT JUST BASHING CARS, RC IS ANYTHING REMOTE CONTROLLED ......! PEOPLE NEED TO REALIZE WE CANT JUST BE INTERESTED IN ONE THING FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES !!! RC IS LIFE!!!
Is that tx set up for mode 2? I thought mode 1 was what most of Europe uses. Not that it matters! Like you always say, it's what puts the biggest smile on your face!
Big heli you say? Buy a 700 or 800 😅😬😬 Also handy tip for the clutch assembly, if you buy a nylon piston stopper that threads into the glow plug hole it'll keep the piston pushed to bottom dead centre to save having to grip the fan with your hands 🤙🏽 Also with the governor you've probably used them before but getting a set of blanks so you can essentially connect to a cut wire without soldering, and just crimp new pins onto them. Some instances soldering hinders the feedback through the wire, almost like a bit of a capacitor it stores energy. Loving the builds tho, thoroughly entertaining 😁😁
thats not true at all. The helis and electronics are top notch. Last 10 years withoutchanging anything but perhaps a bearing. most heli gear is top shelf, leaps n bounds better than any rc truck gear.
There was a guy that flew a Trex in the local park until one day I found loads of little carbon fibre bits and “Align” printed parts on the floor! Haven’t seen him since. “What happened” 🤣
kev i love these videos!!!!!! im from canada ON and i watch ever video and to be honest im a fpv drone pilot but love bashing rc so its nice to see rc, planes and helis on the channel !!!
nice build! Watch for the clutch slipping and heating up if you fly it hard. It will eat that plastic gear box. I put the metal one on mine, gonna try to put a normal liner in the bell too.
