Raw 420 on the beach

[@adamharrison2974]

Always enjoy watching your vids Bert, very motivating!

[@RC-Heli-Overdose420]

This Heli looks awesome! My bro helped me get a 500 sport back when they came out! I am helping him get one of these tomorrow. im sure he will let me try it untill i get my own. wow thank you sab and thank you Burt!

[@nightshadehelis9821]

It bothers me that even if I practiced ten hours a day for the next ten years, I'd still never be this good.

[@HedrickSpeedsports]

ALL of the things that I CAN'T do...!! LOL!!! 😝

[@ojt_windy_city]

I give this helicopter kit 5 out of 5 stars, It is really nice. It went together really well and everything was nice and easy to work on. I still can't believe it I am very pleased with everything, well maybe the tail fin could be slightly more visible it is a little skinny but not really a big deal. So keep in mind I only have a few test flights on it and just did a little some mild flight ... but everything feels great and i am amazed at you quiet it is. I heard someone else on you tube say that SAB knocked it out of the park with this one and I have to agree so thanks for this kit and everything.

[@BertKammerer]

Nice! Glad you're liking it 🙂

[@theRCelement]

That was awesome🤙

[@aussiedigger1441]

That direct drive would certainly help make it a smooth flying machine. Awesome flight Bert! Sure would like to see more flights from you. 👌

[@terrystrength305]

Your smooth transitions and forceful control is like watching a Helicopter Ballet if there ever was such a thing! Not bad for an Old Man!

[@jamesdash1906]

I REALLY wish I could get even a used heli but being disabled and living on a fixed budget it's just not going to happen. Wanna help out ?????

[@adriangall9025]

You still have it "Olt Maan". Great flying Bert

[@JustPlaneChris]

Great flying, Bert! Love the sound of that little guy. I still can't believe you gave away "my" kit to someone else though. ;)

[@BertKammerer]

I can't believe it either. :D If it would have been for me, I would have picked you. Darn randomizer lol

[@dwainjernigan6545]

Awesome awesome pilot hands down the best

[@ojt_windy_city]

Super nice, i was wondering if the one way bearing in the motor can be replaced? thanks for the video? I still want one of these heli"s regardless

[@BertKammerer]

Yes. The one way can be replaced.

[@jasonBucao671]

what esc are you using?

[@BertKammerer]

on this setup, ESC is HobbyWing 80 amp.

[@wilfredprins9718]

How much flying time you get if you perform a normal flight without acrobatics?

[@BertKammerer]

Can go upwards of 8 minutes at lower head speeds doing basic flying, such as hovering, figure 8s, etc.

[@wilfredprins9718]

@@BertKammerer thanks I was hoping longer, to use it in work instead of a drone

[@BertKammerer]

@@wilfredprins9718 You might get more, it really depends on what you're doing. I am doing aerobatics, so haven't checked with just normal flying, slow forward flight, figure 8s and hovering. I am sure much longer.

[@wilfredprins9718]

@@BertKammerer doing land surveying with a drone, I was hoping to exceed the flying time of a phantom 4😬

[@bowdendrake6316]

What 3D rc heli would you recommend for a beginner? (Medium sized)

[@BertKammerer]

Depends on how much of a beginner you are, this is a loaded question. Depends on budget, your desire to progress, etc., if you want something that will last you a very long time without issue, a well rounded mid size heli will grow with you, such as Raw 580 for example. If you want something smaller, this Raw 420 is the way to go. All high end helis are not cheap to repair after a crash, but they fly better than the value brands and hold their value longer as well as handle a lot more abuse.

[@RCBK58]

Great reply! I’ll make the investment and get value for my money. I’m a beginner but I don’t like hiccups from bargains. Convinced me to preorder my SAB RAW 420. I was thinking 580 but will start small and gear a bigger one for more options. Thanks!!!
