crowe73 Sweet I am not sure what is going on with it I am new to helicopters I have been flying some electric ones for a while. And been flying planes since I was 13. When I try to start it the rotor head tries to engage pretty hard when you hit the starter. When the engine starts it tries to jerk the blade out of your hand and then It is like the clutch lets go. The helicopter has never been flown and I only have attempted to start it 2 times in the 4 years I have had it. Would Wednesday of next Wednesday work to take a look at it?

Phew! Good job. Looks like you've got a Spektrum DX6i radio there. I have a JR Venture 30 sitting around. Thinking of hooking it up to a June 2014 second-gen DX6 radio.

The radio is indeed a DX6i by Spektrum. The radio you have should work fine for your heli. Thanks for commenting.

What kind of transmitter are you using with the jr venture 30 and what are your settings when I push forward the heli moves backwards
@crowe73
@crowe73 10 жыл бұрын
I used a Spektrum DX6i transmitter. As far as radio settings go, it sounds like your elevator settings is backwards. Go into the swash mix, in the elevator setting, and change the number to the opposite of what it's set to (Example - +60 degrees; set to -60 degrees or vice versa). When you move the stick forward, the swashplate should tilt forward. Hope this helps and happy flying to you. Thanks for commenting.

Such a really big shame we can't get a model supplier to sell this machine in the United Kingdom... The Pantera 50 is brilliant mine is flying weekly for the last 4 to 5 years with no parts failures other than done by my thumbs which thankfully were very few... Great video most jealous.

The fuel that I personally use for my helicopters is Cool power helicopter blend with 30% nitro. I would say about any helicopter blend of fuel would be fine for your heli. Hope this helps and happy flying with your helicopter. Any more questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Thanks and happy flying to you.

I think this would be a very good heli for a beginner. You can adjust the settings in the radio to make it as wild or as tame as you like. As always, seek advice from an experienced pilot especially if you haven't flew a R/C helicopter before.

Thanks for watching and I appreciate the kind words. It wasn't a difficult helicopter to build at all. The biggest issue that I had to elongate some of the bolt holes in the frame to get the gear mesh correct for the tail drive gear. Other then that, very easy build. Also, in my honest opinion, this heli is built very solid and appears like it can take a good beating. Hope this helps and hope you might consider this heli. Also it flies excellent. Thanks again and happy flying to you. Chad

You're right. Flying model aircraft in the streets or over a crowd of people is a violation of the AMA safety code. Unfortunatly, I see people flying in parks where a lot of people are present and it's those people that give the hobby a bad rap. Thanks for watching and happy flying to you.

@cavinete21 Thanks for the comment. The Escapade is an excellent flying plane for the price. Unfortuneatly, it needs rebuilt due to a crash that totaled the front end of the plane. Hopefully, I will get her rebuilt soon. My favorite plane that I fly is the RC 91 as seen on some of my more recent videos. You can check them out on my youtube channel (crowe73) if you wish.
