He has had lots of crash practice. Lmao.

Called Raceline Monster by RC4WD. Very good quality wheels. Specifically for the UDR

I love comments like this one. I know how to do all that stuff and I am in full control. I am not out to impress anyone as I fly only for my own enjoyment. But stupid people such as yourself always entertain and give a good laugh when acting like you have answers and know nothing. So thank you and have a great day!

what a nasty thing to say...just be nice please......actually he has impressed me and i am a pretty good 3d flier even though i say so myself..... he chose a great heli...i just bough the 5.8 heritage and am so impressed with the quality...cannot wait to fly it...i will go the elrs and nexus route even though i dont like the nexus fbl unit as it involves so much setup. i love the guy getting excited in the background with his Yeah...thats pure excitement....hilarious.. rc is for enjoying and who cares what level you are at as long as you bring the thing home in one bit.

@@andyMSH700 thank you!

Not true at all. Throttle does not need a zero setting especially when you fly 3d. If it had zero it could reset to a soft spool up if you try to fly low head speed and go full negative pitch. Also the 30% is a standard for Castle and is a reference point that sets the predetermined headspeed for that radio point. If flying scale or basic then you could use the zero thing. Otherwise this gives a true 3 usable headspeeds for 3d style flying.

@@rcspeedracer What sort of 3d are you going to do at 30% throttle. Not much at all unless you want a boom strike. First point must always be at 0%.

@@BradHaines1963 You are not at 30% throttle. 30% dictates what that particular headspeed is set at. And you can do low headspeed 3d without any issues when properly set up. 30% could be a 1500rpm set up for example. This is fine. All 3d is not fast and hard. Zero is good for scale or beginners. That’s it. When throttle hold is kicked off it will spool up and you always want to kill headspeed when landing even if it is a baby autorotation. I’ve been doing this for many years and have set up some pro pilot machines. I’m happy to discuss this more with you if you would like to learn more about it. But this is the proper way of setting it up.

@@BradHaines1963 he's running governor at Set RPM mode, meaning the Castle ESC is going to look for 3 value ranges which is assigned to 3 RPM values. So if he sets it at 30% the ESC will govern at the first RPM bank. Heli mode also works a bit different from Airplane mode, there is always a slow spoolup which can be configured.

@@rcspeedracer I understand what you mean now. So at the end of the day to land you must use your throttle hold and do a small auto. Correct?

Thank you!

I think I had maybe just a little too low of a headspeed using a 12s set up. I only raised the headspeed by about 50 rpm and it smoothed it all out. I checked everything very close and found no issues. Have a bunch of flights on it now and love how it flies.

@@rcspeedracer Good to know!

@@LichaelMewis I can’t make a fair comparison honestly cause they are both great. I have them set up totally different. The AK700 has more power and is more aggressive. The Tron is very smooth and a bit slower but that all in the equipment I used and the programming. Both are really good!

@@rcspeedracer cool my AK420 just came in today. It swings a true 420mm blade and I got the most powerful motor I could fit for it that is recommended in the manual. Looking forward to the build!

@@LichaelMewis your gonna like that heli! I almost bought one at Ircha. I’ll probably regret not getting it. I have enough helis. At least for now. Lol

No belt issues at all. Tail holds perfect with proper flybarless system set up. And of coarse as long as all mechanical set up has been done properly as well

@@rcspeedracer good because on my TRex470L, and my Goosky RS4 Venom I still get a little belt slip unless I go super tight which bogs the motor down. Looking for a better tail design. Hoping the AK420 has same setup just shrunken down.

The AK420 is a good heli as well. I am using Castle ESC, Scorpion motor, Ikon flybarless and Spektrum radio with KST servos. All works great!

That I am not sure about at all. Never tried to use any logo parts on it

Made it there early in 2020 but haven’t been able to make it back since. It’s on my list of places to go back to for sure.

@@rcspeedracer Right on. Hopfully run into ya at a future event.

@@guest6423 with the style of that body it just does not have the proper support in the front for the way I was beating on it. I would never ask for a refund on something that I was being extremely rough on. Was all my fault.

It autos really well. Lots of hang time and that is even being set up as 12S. I think on 6S it would even better with shedding more weight.

@@rcspeedracer I have the 6s combo kit version. Just haven't had the time to build it yet. I love autos, but was worried the 6s might be too light. Looking forward to trying it out.

I do not have any rotational slop at all. The fit of the parts was very good and and slop that way I think would lead to some tail twitch or inconsistencies in handling and there is none of that. It is locked in very well.

@@rcspeedracerthanks. Some of my old Align Trex’s have play in both. Was curious how these new kits from new manufacturers are these days

Thank you!

A heli like this is not recommended for beginners. They are all sold as kits and require full assembly and set up of all the electronics. If you want something to start I would look at the Blade heli line through Horizon Hobby as they have some great options for beginners to get into the hobby.

@@rcspeedracer understood. Those helicopters are badass. I love the unique design. I’m going to get one just to keep until I learn to fly helicopters then I can use the tarot. Do you have a video how to calibrate then wing from parameter and servo etc

@@bluecavemen I do have a 3 part video on the ikon flybarless and a video on a castle esc. Those are the main things to program. It’s not hard to do at all. Just need to take your time to do it the correct way.

I am not familiar with that motor but I know I had to trim the canopy a bit for better clearance in mine and you may have to do the same. My 3300 packs are pretty snug so depending on the dimensions the 3600 packs might be snug as well since my batteries are older. If yours are newer they will probably fit. Everything else should be fine.

It's our fun fly this weekend so I should get to see one up close. My motor will fit. Also the batteries I use are high voltage. So they are the same size as 3100 mah regular lipos.

Running on a 12S set up. Castle 160 esc, Scorpion HKIII 4035-500kv, KST servos, Rail 696 mains and 105 tail and on Pulse 3300 mah lipos. ESC is overkill but its electronics I had from another heli. Couple of flight on it now and it flies amazing!

Thank you. We are working on coordinating our schedules to record the next one with a guest. Stay tuned and thanks for the support. Message me your address through this link to our Facebook page and I’ll send you out a podcast jet tag. facebook.com/share/ddU65Eg8Kyy6MPNF/?mibextid=LQQJ4d

That was my original thought. But gonna try it on 12s since I have the electronics to do it. Depending how it flies I will change it out to 6s.

seriously! scrub.

Ahhhh! There’s no pleasing everyone.

You and Aaron had some fun back in the day at Ircha. He has some great memories with you. Hope all is well with you.

Lol. It’s as if you have experience at this. I need you to teach me the ways. I need to figure out what to get to help the auto focus issue in bright light.

Plastic servo horns would be just fine for me for all of your stated reasons. But when I let me kids fly my helis they fly really hard 3d and I have seen first hand that it is possible to just strip the splines on a plastic servo horn flying really hard. So I just do it to avoid stripping the horns. For most pilots good plastic ones would probably be fine.

@@rcspeedracer Okay, now I get it! In real hard 3D flights with high head speeds there must be enormous amounts of torque on all parts of the heli. My helis must feel like in a sanitarium the way I am flying them. 😀 I have much to few skills to really challenge them.

Thanks. Tons of fun for sure.

It’s doing perfect. I do only have about 15 flights on it so far. Haven’t had enough time to get out and fly more. Very happy with this heli.
