Cheers for all the testing!!! That Huey needs a good balancing lol. I bought the FlishRC Airwolf 500 size and am looking for a tail rotor that'll quieten the thing. V2's come with a alloy base and folding props. Seem quieter. Wonder if I go to a slightly larger prop (1/2" to 1" larger diametre) with the bent back/feathered tips (They seem to be the quietest I've heard) would work? Would have to watch tail motor temps though. Still quieter than a Nitro powered Heli that's for sure lol.
Yes, the Huey needs some work, lol. On your Airwolf 500 scale, how did they hook up the retractable landing gear on a switch without burning out the flight controller, since we cannot plug anything into the receiver due to the flight controller?
The Iroquois just doesn't look right with four blade main rotor, they were all build with two blades. And that suckers main is shaking like mad as it spins up. Brave as heck putting these ones up in that wind. Now the Hughes 500, it needs a five blade main, and while it's mains aren't shaking it about, that two-blade tain us completely unbalanced. None of the Drone Props look to be properly balanced at all. Looks more like you need a tail prop that has blades that can pivot, so they aren't changing inertia as fast when the motor varies speed up and down. 3D print, dump the PA-CF for regular PA, but print it with a space to push a carbon rod down through to stiffen it it. The PA-CF isn't any stronger, it's mostly surface difference finish. And, Do Not Sand !!!, the PA-CF (or PA-GF) without protecive gear for hands and lungs.
Thank you for the information. I was planning to start a new series on 3D printing parts with carbon fiber because I have a couple of bamboo labs printers. I'll need to pick your brain about some of these ideas. Thank you.
@@pilotbowser9980 The adavantage of the Nylon (PA) is it's Melt Point, which is why it can be used for Engine Manifolds, where PLA will warp when left under glass on a clear day. The Carbon Fibers, same with Glass fibers, is as or more dangerous as Asbestos to breath in, which is why it needs to be treated with respect when finish sanding - done to the same methods as car body repairs, masks and vacuums. I've modded my Voxelabs Aquila (Ender 3 v2 clone) to do PA-CF, and it's a challenge - Bed over 100C, Steel Nozzle at over 290C. Unless you absolutely need the unique properties of the Nylon, and if your printer is running original firmware, have you taken a look at PETG ?
Nice video! I think as well that the 2 bladed tailrotor blades win here on both helis. Not only soundwise, as well regards the look. Do you fly these helis in GPS and stability mode with the Fywing transmitter? I have seen some videos of guys flying them with other transmitters like Radiomaster TX 16 and it flies great in manual/3D mode. The black MD 500 looks really great! Best greetings from a complete heli freak from Poland!!
Thank you. I hope everything is going well with you too. Yes, I do have stabilization on, but it’s turned down very low, almost nonexistent. The only reason for stabilization is that I’m not a good 3-D flyer, but I’m working to get to that point. On top of that, my ATT mode keeps trying to put my helicopter in the ground, so I've got to figure that out first before switching over to that secret function.
@@pilotbowser9980 Thanks for your kind answer! Flying with 3D mode ON and 6G stabilization OFF is very different, but so rewarding once you got it right! Not just for 3D acrobatics, which I do not really do, because I am not an advanced Pilot. In 3D mode you really "balance" the heli all the time with very tiny stickinputs and the "counter" inputs. The bad thing is: I had to learn everything from the beginning again. Starting with just hovering and then learning one new thing after another. But the feel of giving such tiny stickinputs on the cyclic causing these machine to fly in crazy, unlimited bank bankangles and finally do exactly what we want is so rewarding. If you try it, try hovering and slow flying from side to side first to develop this total different feel of balancing! I wish you a great journey and all the best!!
@@pilotbowser9980 I cross my fingers!! Be patient with yiurself and do not expect too much at one time and all will go great! I will follow your progress with a pleasure!! The way is the goal!!
Guardando l video e ascoltando i rumori, il rumore del motore copre tutto il resto...non si riesce a capire quale dei due rotori di coda sia il più silenzioso...e poi essendo una riproduzione in scala, bisogna rispettare l'originale....ed il rotore di coda dell'originale ha 2 pale...punto...questo è quello che penso...un saluto a tutti
@nv180399 I think you bring up a good point. Sometimes it can be hard to hear due to the wind. I think for the next test, I'm going to invest in a decibel meter sound level reader.
At that particular flying site, there is an airspace restriction that caps the altitude at which I can fly. I have to be careful not to fly too high there. But if I go to my main seat, I can fly very high, and we will really enjoy the flying experience.
