Smashed thousand helicopters Cost lot of time for repair money for parts Now zero smashes To be too much fabulously to be that real

Soon AI helicopters Soon Pilot no more need it Lazy people will accept that in future!

Yes the bubble balancer is better the electronic balancer . I used on for years 👍🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻.

Much better results to buy a brand new LED fixtures. Retro bulbs are of poor quality and poor light output. A brand new LED fixture will give much better light distribution pattern.

Just replace the carb on my 924SB but won’t throttle down now. Couldn’t find any throttle adjustment instructions.

I am SUPER stingy about liking videos on KZbin, but very rarely I'll come across a video that just hits all marks and deserves it. You sir did just that with this video. Outstanding work and something I know I'll be coming back to reference in the future as needed.

3:56 Like a cow 😅

do you need the shunt? or can you just hook up straight to the meter

If you are doing RV trailer tires/rims or Truck tires that carry a heavy load, I would recommend steel valve stems.

Do you think this reciever will bind with the radio, for a shockflyer rc plane, Mr. John? Radiomaster r86 v2 6ch sfhss, receptor pwm compatível

Ive watched through this playlist several time and love it. Great information, and fun. I have subscribed to Mr Baddeley on Patrion, but god knows what files i need to print. Is there a list anywhere that you used? Any help would be awesome... 👍🏻

Good morning, I was wondering where and what size of rubber washers are located in motor? I have a 560 and washers are missing.

I had this toy. Got it for Christmas. I was a relatively smart kid and batteries were costly as a child. I used a discarded ac adapter to wire it for permanent power. Thanks for showing this great toy.

Thank you so much. Having an issue with my single arm actuator but afraid I have stripped gears in my gear box. Great information. Thank you for the great video!

where did you get the duckbill adapter

So knowing the fronts are decently well balanced by no wobble/vibration in the steering wheel, you could of course do a same side rotation bringing the rear wheels to the front, and putting the front wheels to the rear, then do the same drive again and test for steering wobble/vibration from the steering, assuming of course the wheels/tires are all the same size. If you have all same size wheels/tires, but you have wheel identification TPMS, place the rear wheels on the front, drive and test them for wobble/vibration in the steering, assuming none was found, do a same side rotation, then another drive and test for wobble/virbration, assuming none was noticed, you've tested all four wheels, the wheels/tires/TPMS are now on their correct hubs, and you're done. I wish I had the space for all this equipment, I'd be doing my own stuff, but sadly lack of storage space and work space means I work out on the street and in a tiny little alleyway. :(

I love the pilot verifying where he goes! ❤👌

We grew up doing it this way on our farm, except we didn't have a tire changer. We'd remove the valve stem, then run over the sidewall of the tire to break the bead and then use a prybar and a long handled screwdriver to coax the tire off the wheel. When we'd buy tires the folks at the store always seemed miffed that we were going to balance and mount them ourselves, trying to talk up their spin balancers and how much better they were. Pappy just said, folks have been using bubble balancers since there have been steel rims and they work just as well now as they ever did, lol.

Other shorts. They say keep the red and black wires. What is true?

Hello and thank you for useful video! I have calibrated the FC indoor and outdoor. It stopped blinking red in both cases. There is no warnings in desktop app. But when I try to arm it - it flashes yellow, even there are 16 sats and HDOP 0.78 (indoor and outdoor). No low voltage. What I should do to get blinking green instead yellow and what could cause this problem? Thank you!

Bummer...the tire changer in the link only covers up to 16". The tires on my F-250 are 20". 😏

This was before pneumatic tire changers and spin balancers. If you have alloy wheels, low profile wheels, or expensive, custom wheels, don't use this. Also, it doesn't work with wheels that require sticker weights.

flood solding maybe easier?

Just had the same issue with a stripped out following gear. But no, the upper bushing had not fallen out of the gear case, probably just the result of many years heavy use. It's great these mixers can be repaired and parts are available. Thanks for the great tutorial on how to do it!

I've always found the old bubble balancers are way more accurate than a electronic balancers are by far.

Id rather just pay a pro. Keep $ circulating. Thanks for video good info.

I hope I didn’t miss this question somewhere so I apologize if I did, but what torch is that that you used to remove the pinion gear?

Question: Can the duck head mod be installed on the harbor freight version tire remover?

Index-finger-pressure driving, truck coming, scared me!

Very informative and I spaced out at seeing that R2D2 O.O

Wonderful video, this and your others in the "tire change" series! Thank you for taking the time to show all the steps you took. That last bit here, where you refinished the paint on both inner lips as part of the repair: You _did_ need to paint that, not just for appearance's sake. The spot putty used - the talc used in it will pull moisture in, if not sealed. Since it's at the wheel/bead interface, it would get exposed to moisture, and could become porous enough to water that it becomes one of those pesky glacial-creep slow leaks owners and tire guys HATE alike. So, good on you being thorough, and it sure looks like the result is invisible at distances past being stooped down to read the tire sidewall! :)

I think I'm going to do it. I have the 20" 4Runner wheels with the mixed machining and black/silver paint, which are still perfect at 38k miles, and I don't trust the dealers in my area or any of the tire shops to not mark up the wheels.

My favorite Christmas toy I ever received as a kid. The drive spring solder joint inside the helicopter broke on mine shortly after I got it, and my stepfather had no idea how to resolder it. If only they had cheap plug-in transformers back then because the damn thing went through 4 D-cell batteries in no time at all.

OMG I just found this. I also had a vertibird in the early 70s so fun! I forgot all about it until now. I recall playing with it in our living room. My Nana just arrived from the airport for a Christmas visit, walked in the front door and before she could put her luggage down, she walked right into the path of my vertibird at near full throttle and got nicked in the shin. That was the end of the vertibird for the duration of her visit. Amazing what the human brain can recall with a video prompt. Awesome childhood memories.

Thank you John!

Do the weathering! He's awesome, but lacks a little character!

Excellent! Will R2D2 be presenting next time?

Excellent video 👍

Very cool. Thx

Nice work sir. I'm impressed.

I Just Did This To A Small 7K Servo. Talk About Anxiety, So Little Space. Made It Work But I Think I'm Just Gonna Try And Make Space For Servo Switcher Instead. Too Much Risk In Internally Reversing Them Especially Since These Are Consumables On A Mini RC Crawler lol. This Is A Full Time All Wheel Steering Set Up Using A Transmitter That Does Not Support Rear Steer Functions.

Self adhesive lead strip used for gold clubs might work if you are stuck. Great video.

absolut fantastic i try to built him next year; gratulations to you John for this great job

yeah, that's the noise of a fan motor going bad. Those filters do zero.

I’m getting this helicopter for Christmas

I had one. Great toys are no longer made. Nowadays you 3d print the blade

Very nice! Dumb question.....do you save enough money to justify the cost of the tools?

If you are not wanting brush habits you need to remlove that white sticker

Conveniently left out how someone would dismount their old tires. Seems like you might use your hated tire shop……

Legend!!!
