Start-up, gentle flight and shut down of a JR Venture 30 glow powered heli. This is a twenty year old model that has been recently restored.
All original except the muffler.
Original woodie blades.
Engine is OS 32 SX.
Gyro is a Spektrum AR636A receiver re-programmed to provide a rate gyro on the rudder channel only. Set at 60% it gives the same feel as a mechanical rate gyro from 'back in the day'.
More information about the JR Venture can be found on the Vintage Radio Helicopter website here:

Took me a little while to remember how to start it as I've been flying a different heli recently.

That was the heli I taught myself to fly RC helicopters with. Great memories. Out of 10-15 plane flyers that tried heli's I was the only one to figure it out and got pretty good at it, still liked the planes as well. I went on to fly JR Vibe 50, Nexis 30, Ergo 30 and 50, and Kyosho caliber 30-which was an awesome flying heli for a 30 size, among others; The Vibe and caliber were awesome. Our flying club has since been discontinued, along with our field and all the flyers. I took up golf.... but wow do I still miss those days. Nitro all the way, the sound, smell, tinkering to get it perfect was all awesome. Great video, thanks for sharing.

Looks great 👍🏼 where I can find this blue hex shaft for starter please?

@DavidJones-ny1xv Год назад

Thanks. The hex came from a cheap set of long reach metric allen keys. I machined an extension for it that fits into a cordless drill.

@@DavidJones-ny1xv I got it 🍻thanks lot🤞🏼

I have fond memories from the very early 1980s as I saw such helicopters hanging in the roof for display. Our my toy/hobby store at home / Sweden. Beleive they were mighty expensive and it was said they were difficult to fly. Only masters could pull it off.

I bought a venture jr . How do I know If i have a gas or nitro?

@DavidJones-ny1xv Год назад

Being a JR Venture it would most likely be a glow engine (Nitro). Easiest way to tell is to take out the glow or spark plug and have a look. To be sure, take the heli to your local hobby shop or model airplane club and ask them.

@blackhawktim1259 8 месяцев назад

I have one of these but really not good at the setup or programming my radio so it just sits here 😞 also not sure what to use for a flight battery

@DavidJones-ny1xv 8 месяцев назад

Hopefuly you can find somebody at a local club that can help with the TX programming. I use these battery flight packs, mainly because they are available in Australia and the four cells suit the older electronics that I use: www.batteriesdirect.com.au/shop/product/9799/4/bk-3mcce-flt-jr.html

@aSpyIntheHaus Год назад

Apart from this beautiful restoration, I'm also impressed you were able to reprogram an 636A. Was it from another heli or a plane previously?

@DavidJones-ny1xv Год назад

Thanks. The AR636A was from an Eflite carbon cub. They are quite easy to re-program, including getting rid of 'safe and panic' modes. Just need to re-flash the frimware to version 1.43 using the Spektrum USB programming cable and the Spektrum Programmer Software. I have done a couple of these receivers now.

@aSpyIntheHaus Год назад

@@DavidJones-ny1xv nice work!!. I never thought of that and had resigned myself to having these great receivers with limited application due to the perceived locked nature of them.
