Tuned spot on. Great flight.

[@NitroClouds]

Way to go,Bert!

Super video, super, super. Respect

[@CoeShow619]

Ok man. You need that .55 HZR dog. That 50 sounds like a cow in the field that ate some crack.

[@BertKammerer]

Lol nope. Been doing nitro since 1983. I much prefer this engine.

[@CoeShow619]

@@BertKammerer ok. You can keep it. It does seem dependable. Awesome job with the heli community. 🙃 I’m headed to the field now. Ripper time.

Nice flight. I thought you didn't like them dirty oily nitros

[@BertKammerer]

Thank you! I have always loved nitro, I just can't stand the clean up lol

[@marcossallua1984]

H Bert i, can't mount the OEM motor belt with the OWB pulley of 54T for the 600 blade setup,, I need a more large motor belt? or it's the same and has some trick to mount. Thanks

[@BertKammerer]

Yes same motor belt. Only need to change pulley.

[@marcossallua1984]

@@BertKammerer can't mount. Can you give me some advice. Tip of how to mount

[@marcossallua1984]

@@BertKammerer Thanks! Solved!

[@fazzyman136]

Bert, could the regular Raw 580 electric Canopy fit on the Nitro Raw 580 without any cutting/modifications? Im thinking of getting back to nitros and the Raw 580N looks like a feasible option.

[@BertKammerer]

You have to cut a little bit where the bottom of the muffler is, but it is very little. Super easy to do. I recommend sticking with the nitro canopy as it is clear coated. The electric stock canopy has a matte finish and the nitro will eat it up. Alternatively you can get the new white/orange canopy that is made for the electric and cut it a bit to fit the pipe. That one is clear coated.

[@michaelvickers8575]

ya, this video clinched it and I ordered one from you last week. I happened to have the same motor sitting around so it was a sign. ok I have a question before I order my servos from you this week, I haven't seen a 580 yet running mini cyclic's, which is the mounts it comes with right? everyone seems to be running the optional full size mounts. I was planning on running mini but now I see you running the low profile 40 mm and im thinking theres a reason not to run mini? one more, do I have to have an android to program the theta's? thanks and awesome flight!

[@BertKammerer]

Hey Michael, minis are preferred as they’re much lighter! I happen to run full size because I already had them. If you want NFC programmable mini servos, you’ll need the Sabre-C1 servos. If you decide to run full size then you’ll need to purchase the full size servo mounts. Part number H1217H1207-S.

[@michaelvickers8575]

@@BertKammerer ok thanks a bunch, I used Torq mini's and flew the maiden today in 25mph winds!! so smooth. I do have another question, do you use servo grommets on nitro heli's? I noticed the manual doesn't show them installed and my links are slightly angled using the grommets that come with the torq servos. (the square ones) I also noticed it seems the kit had screws for both applications. your thoughts?? thank you very much for the info.

[@BertKammerer]

@@michaelvickers8575 I don't use grommets, but some people think they're needed. I have never had an issue, especially with a small nitro like this one.

[@Radiofrequencyrc]

Hey Bert nice flying as always! Question, why can’t SAB make a canopy scheme like this Raw 580 nitro for the Raw 580 electric! The raw 580 electric flys awesome but the canopy needs to go. Atleast offer a different type of canopy scheme options for both the Raw 580 nitro and electric.

[@BertKammerer]

Hmmm don’t know? Lol. I know you can use this nitro canopy on your electric Raw 580. It fits perfectly.

[@marcossallua1984]

Bert , do you remember how many rpm do you have in this flight? ...

[@BertKammerer]

Sorry for the late reply. 2250 RPM with the 54t pulley, which is the correct ratio for the OS 50 and OS 55. This puts the motor where it needs to be for maximum torque.

[@wernervanderwesthuizen6059]

What's your recommend setting for rpm with stock 580 blades?

[@BertKammerer]

Depends on your motor, the OS 50 and OS 55 are happy at 2200-2300 with stock blades and stock gear ratio.

[@wernervanderwesthuizen6059]

@@BertKammerer yes running os 55 hyper with stock setup out of the box

[@MikeG4936]

What kind of fuel??

[@BertKammerer]

This is RotorRage 22.5% just because I still have some left for my OS 105, so not the ideal fuel for a 50 size engine. Should pull more and better with 30%, which is what I will be running in the future. Unfortunately RotorRage went out of business so I’ll have to run something else.

[@jamesdash1906]

Wanna help out the less fortunate ???? I'm disabled and can't afford a new heli so so you have an old one you want to get rid of ????
