Release the Kraken

Maiden test flight of the new Goblin Kraken. Tested by Buzzard... “what’s the worst that can happen” (Usual antics and bad language)

[@storm14k]

Actually enjoy watching this tame flight more than people snapping the things around like a dragonfly on crack.

[@sidd8310]

Exactly. Hoping to able to fly like this in the near future. Still learning the basics.

[@luisjaimes7757]

there is no way none of you didn't think that the they were going to cut the grass right with the helicopter.....no just me ok....

[@EarthWasHere]

Luis Jaimes Thats why i clicked. I thought they were gonna cut grass with the rc.

[@felixleveille8441]

I though that too ( that’s why I clicked on the video)

[@micheller8014]

Tareq Alsaadi has a vid of that

“What’s the worst that can happen”: someone loses there head !😬

[@larrychamel]

Good on you lads!! A great test flight for a fellow whose never flown a Kraken before!

[@TheFlyingHippo]

😂 Buzzard is a great pilot but does give you a heart attack when he’s testing your helicopter. Makes the arse twitch...

[@palerider16s]

very smooth on the stick

[@TheFlyingHippo]

Not actually mine Shane, but Dale the guy who owns it said the cost with everything included the batteries he was using was $3400

[@TheFlyingHippo]

The club is actually Sutton Coldfield Radio Control Aero Club (SCRCAC)

[@sergpato6041]

Muy buen video excelente máquina👍👍👍

[@joem6196]

I thot that the chopper is gonna cut all the grasses using its blade 😣

[@TheFlyingHippo]

I was surprised he didn’t Joe but it was his first time on Vbar 😂

[@tktokukago]

Me same..

[@carlprince2866]

Wow he gets everything out of a chopper

[@TheFlyingHippo]

He sure does 😂

[@spicymeatball07]

Awesome great vid guys , so what's the total cost of the set-up 👍

[@TheFlyingHippo]

I think Dale said at the time... including the V-bar transmitter, the complete set up cost him approx £3600. (British pounds)

[@BudFranks-fu9ye]

Awesome 👍💯

Thanks mate, more videos coming soon

[@cornwellharley4458]

The Flying Hippo how much dose one of those things cost?

[@TheFlyingHippo]

Harley Cornwell I think Dale said that when he added it all up it cost around £2500-£2800 with the particular brands he used. The airframe kit alone costs £990

[@Jericho27]

@@cornwellharley4458 about 3k USD along with dozens of hours of tuning and changing values for stable flight control.

@@TheFlyingHippo I wondered why I hadn't heard of your club as I'm sure you know there ain't that many these ways ! Although Tarrdibige in Redditch is a good club Planes / heli and very well maintained.

[@jrichey73]

Bad ass!

[@nutleighgrove3658]

Is this belt or torque tube? 👍🏻👍🏻

[@TheFlyingHippo]

Tail is belt driven mate. 👍🏼

[@EDCandLace]

You can hear it's belt... Torque tubs make their selves known with noise.

[@nutleighgrove3658]

Lacy Desires Fantastic! - thank you. ✅ I’ve never heard a good reason to choose belt or TT, so are you saying belt is quieter & is the performance any different ?

[@hadiFPV]

Flying starts at 3:13 thank me later

[@thierrycalandre2493]

thx

[@xyzyyz]

Hadi 102 I wish I had of read your post first. I started feeling sorry for myself after a minute.😊

[@TheFlyingHippo]

We never know what Buzzard is planning on a test flight 😂😂

[@allegorx58]

Miniquads make these seem so pointless but still cool af

[@EDCandLace]

My hubby and I have been flying 3d helis since we was kids (it's how we met) we was flying in the shuttle Z nitro heli days. Helis and mini quads are totally different in every single way. I can have anyone flying forward flight with a mini quad LOS with in a hour or so and when they crash pick it up and fly again... Helis are a totally different beast. When im teaching.. It's normally a couple hours of just nose out hover, it maybe 10 to 15 hours of flight time (i use a .90 Nitro heli for the long flight times at low head speed and we can gas and go and not put cycles on our pip is) before i have them comfortably flying forwards flight.. Then we start working on the inverted stuff. It's a totally different ball game, totally different skill set and when you are flying a heli ANY mistake hurts the wallet....

[@TheFlyingHippo]

Point well made Lacy

[@EDCandLace]

If you won't watch a video because FUCK is said... You must really be a recluse... You can't go out anywhere and not here cussing... You can't watch hardly anything and not hear cussing... And Fuck is such a versatile word it can be used in sooooooo many ways and be grammatically correct.... Much more so then pretty much any other word.... You should try using it some time... Next time your talking to your wife... Tell her get your tight little ass in bed NOW, im gonna fuck you silly... She will thank me and you will to as the moment you prude ass was to talk to her like that... She would be leaking down her thighs.... Oh wait if you won't watch a video due to fuck being said... You are likely one of those kind that would think it was "ikky" that she was dripping wet and ask her to clean her self up... Fucking clown.

[@sl1dertheone]

And if you say it isn't fake make a video of his hands manipulating the controls during a impossible flight like that

[@TheFlyingHippo]

sl1dertheone Get a life you melt, buzzard flew it as videoed. We have no need to make fake videos, it’s just us taking this piss out of each other and if you don’t want to watch it then don’t. We don’t have to justify test flights to idiots like you 🤫

[@shanenelson8449]

Wish I could find one here in the state’s but hard to find I ask at hobby shop’s and they look at me like I’m crazy lmao

[@TheFlyingHippo]

Shane, it is truly a beast of a heli with a fantastic colour scheme and sound.
