I Waited 10 Months For This….

In today’s video we get the maiden flight on the Comet V2! After 10 months of waiting and getting custom parts made the comet is back! Better than ever! 16s with a custom Xnova motor. This thing is going to be a rocket.

The nerves on the maiden of a new Heli is real . Just hoping nothing unexpected rears its head with any of the systems . Beast !! What a beauty

Super cool heli! The drive belt on this heli is one beefy piece of hardware to handle all that torque!

Yes, it is! Custom made to handle this power

[@scottdearmond5532]

Jeff, another amazing build, this helicopter 🚁 is a real Frankenstein, with Kraken tail parts and all of the custom made billet aluminum / carbon fiber parts, X-Nova motor with your channels name on it, look 👀 out Tareq Alsaadi there’s a new helicopter king. 🤣😂 Totally cool 😎 rotracting landing skid 👍🏻

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

Thank you! It’s been a long time in the works lots of custom parts waiting on stuff to come from Germany, but it is finally done! Should not be more excited and happy. I got my two motors! Second One will be shown very soon!

[@CloudyFlyerRowdyNiemira]

Very cool machine. Im trying to learn about speed flying. What does the tail fin actually do!? and why is it set at a 16° angle!?

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

Thank you! It’s a work of art lol so one of the biggest issues with flying helicopters fast is Blade stall. Luckily these blades don’t really stall like a traditional blade as they have a crazy design to them, but the nose does like the pitch up under a full pass or when you unsettled the helicopter under hard pitch transitions. The horizontal thin is a flying surface and like an airplane it holds that tail at that angle. You set the fin to the angle of forward flight and it will help steady and keep the helicopter tracking straight.

Hey Jeff . Nice shirt . So with out the one way Bering when cutting power the Torq of the blades take over . So you have to cut power when on the ground .

the engineering looks gorgeous! Glad that everything went well. It's really against typical reflexes to not have OWB :)

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

@@lev_on_heli they did an incredible job designing these mechanics. I can’t wait for the next time out to give it all the power and see what it’ll do. It is very strange to not have a one-way bearing on a large sized helicopter. It’s definitely gonna take some getting used to lol

[@lev_on_heli]

@@westhobbiesrc8051 Yeah, that thing will go fast, I'm sure :) on OWB - just put a masking tape on the blades with a label that says "DON'T DO AUTO" 😂 That will be like "remove before flight" with an extra memo :)

@@HeliShed thank you buddy! So this setup will make 20,000 watts! Yes 20,000 lol it has been tested by the guy who made these mechanics and every time the OWB would let go. So to eliminate failures he said don’t run one. It has the power to go over 200mph.
