OMPHOBBY M7 - Detailed Overview, Features and Secrets!

The M7 is almost here! Sit down with me as we learn more about the helicopter and its specs, check out all its features and discover some secrets that make the M7 truly unique! This video makes no claim of completeness. Certain details might change compared to production units. Prices to be announced by retailers.

Love the added value OMP is delivering to customers with boom options, 2 battery trays, and high performance RT blades!

[@Johnny31297]

Only the best for the M7 and our customers! 💪

DUUUDE....the engineering and materials are so impressive Jonas.

Great video, Jonas! All important information and lots of great explanations regarding the unique features of this heli! I love that so many great details are to be found in the M4 and especially the M4 Max (tail boom and tail rotor section) and at the same time there are completely new features like the belt tensioners or the grease acess in the blade grips. You never stop surprising us pilots!! You once again developed a great new helicopter!! Congratulations!!

Amazing Job Jonas, you’ve really thought of everything and packed the machine fully of great features and details. Amazing design, I can’t wait to get a hold of one… or two lol. If you can please keep me updated with the 6s machine your building too. I want a 12s machine and separate 6s one.

Super job Jonas! This is a great video and very very informative. This heli is amazing. The design details are fantastic! Will there be ‘upgrades’ aside from the POM dampers?

[@Johnny31297]

Thank you! I wouldn't consider POM an upgrade, it's just an alternative option. Everything that will be coming is mentioned in the video I believe 👍

[@frisos3944]

Very nice! I really like the way you connect to the community and this is a good example of that! Not all manufacturers do that. Also very nice to get a glimpse of your design decisions like this. You can be very proud Jonas!

[@OregonMotorcycle]

Been out of the hobby for about ten years… I flew/had a bunch of Align and Blade helis. Recently purchased a new 230 smart and that was a complete disaster. Should have my first OMP heli in a few days‼️ I ordered an M2 evo and can’t wait. These look rad. I already got my eyes on an M4 and then this vid comes out 😊

[@brendanshield]

Great job Jonas. Canopy looks really nice, aerodynamic shape and pleasing on the eyes. It's hard to keep up with all the new machines on the market. My collection is already out of control. I'd certainly love to own an OMP M7 in my fleet. Thanks

[@chrisr7341]

This is just amazing! Very well thought out design, you did an outstanding job there...I really really want one...but I feel like it's more responsible if I stick to smaller helicopters...for some more time at least :D. But if I'm going to buy a 700 Size helicopter this will be the one for sure!

[@Johnny31297]

Thank you! You will be ready eventually 💪

[@echteschweissarbeit]

Sauber Jonas! 👍

[@Johnny31297]

Danke!

[@andyMSH700]

Not sure about the battery click mechanism which I think is going to be confusing....if you forget to click it your battery will be loose and this is why i rather the tab at the front of the tray. I love the belt tensioner adjuster....very nice indeed. I am not crazy on the color scheme but then perhaps its for the young.....my msh 700 has pink in it but this is a deeper pink. I would supply one canopy in the vibrant neon green color with black trim...this would cater for a different choice of color. As always a fantastic demo.

[@andyMSH700]

Ah i see from Bert Kammerer's presentation on the M7 that the battery locking mechanism actually turns and then moves position in an inward direction......this demonstration is missing from your video and of course it would be possible for the trained eye to see whether it is properly engaged or not.....i thought it was only a twist dial button which might be confusing.

[@ThePlanefixr]

Great Video Jonas! Hot! 🔥

[@nerpelb]

Great design and details! I love the idea of blade grip spacers! How does reducing the friction between the blades and the grips influence the lead-lag behavior of the blades?

[@Johnny31297]

Good question! Blades need to be able to move in the grip to compensate for coriolis force on tip path plane changes. If they cannot move smoothly, that will increase vibration levels and make the helicopter fly worse.

[@nerpelb]

@@Johnny31297 I’ve been thinking a lot about this. Let’s consider a thing: if we’d have a shaft in the grip supported by two bearings and the blade would be fixed to the shaft. There would be “no” friction when blades lead or lag but it wouldn’t be good because the blades could hit the grips at spool up. The bearings would still forward the lift from the blades to the head and the fuselage. So other than the grip hit at spool up, would a “frictionless” blade joint be beneficial during flight? Can you recommend some literature?

[@christians.1577]

Jonas. Amazing job. Could you tell me which color the tail boom will have, if I choose the heli with the golden canopy please?

[@Johnny31297]

Take a look at 11:20 👍

[@simmisimsonsk]

Nach einen langen Heli Pause mit dem m1 wieder angefangen, ich liebe ihn, hol mir jetzt den m2, vielleicht den alten mit dfc Kopf noch. Dann wenn ich besser bin den m4 :)

[@niklaszell]

Ich muss sagen, der M7 gefällt mir bereits sehr gut. Er würde sicherlich gut zu meinem in die Jahre gekommenen Diabolo 700 L passen. Ich habe noch eine allgemeine Frage bezüglich der Montage der VBAR. Muss darauf geachtet werden, die VBAR genau mittig zu montieren? Bei meinem Diabolo habe ich die VBAR aus Platzgründen ein wenig nach links versetzt, wodurch sie nicht mehr perfekt mittig sitzt.

[@Johnny31297]

Nein, ist egal

[@birit911]

When is the release?

[@neilpro18]

I wish they came built

[@Johnny31297]

A 700? If you're ready to fly a 700, you can also build one.

[@beastehful]

I hear you, but building it yourself gives you so much more confidence when you actually fly it, because you know how to fix anything that breaks. Get an OMP M2 if you want a fully built machine with 3D performance.

[@silvestrgola7707]

Hello, in the video you said that main gear is 110T but ratio with 11T pinion is 10.91:1, with 12T pinions 10:1 ... So there is a 120T main gear or wrong mentoined ratios?

[@Johnny31297]

If that's the case, I misspoke. Gear is 120t.

[@OlliHeli]

Hi Jonas, don´t get me wrong 🙂I know that has been a hard work to be done to engineer such kind of a new 700 heli size, but honestly the design as well as the components and the shape is nothing that blows my mind now. The direct drive M1 and M2 OMP's are without any questions by far the best of in their class, but as mentioned in my opinion this does not apply for the M7 design. Therefore no reason for my to change from my Align TB60 and TB70.

[@tubsucks]

like very, but cannot afford in this lifetime lol

[@beastehful]

Batteries especially but that's normal for a 700 class heli. Want to fly 3 consecutive flights? $900....
