hey Jeff, my 13 year old son flies the kraken 580 on 6s, I fly mine on 12s and its a beast, I must have 130 flights on it and everything is like new it never seems to wear😆 Great video keep em coming 👍👍

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

I bet the 580 is a beast on 12s! I’ve tossed the idea of brown building my raw 580 on 12s

@@westhobbiesrc8051 I'm using xnova 560kv motor 2x 3300 lipos and 600mm main blades and I changed the motor pully from 22T to 21T I'm getting around 6 minutes, my son gets 4.30 minutes, his esc and motor get hotter than mine because of efficiency, we both use the scorpion Tribunus 130A esc, as for power I'd say I get 30% more, my son likes flying mine🤣🤣

580 second flight! Thats 9min 40 secs! : )

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

Nice! That’s a great flight time.

If you have an iKon/Brain you should really get the Bluetooth module. When I changed to Spirit I tried the integration/telemetry with Spektrum (which the iKon/Brain also has) and was a very small step up when I changed to NEO/VControl. It really is awesome to be able to tune from the field.

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

On my personal helicopters I run SRXL2 so I can adjust/program right from my radio but I still like to have a laptop and go that way. I have Bluetooth as well but I still like to plug-in through my laptop and adjust things.

[@toadiscoil]

@@westhobbiesrc8051 Got it. Thought it was your own. Still, after initial setup. I found there was nothing I could not do via the radio. I got used to it pretty quickly as it was so simple and quick. I don't like to connect to the computer at all now, unless it is absolutely and completely necessary (like firmware upgrades, for example).

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

@@toadiscoil I can do everything adjustment wise from my transmitter that I need/want. It’s really nice! Like my RAW 420 with the SRXL2 or my fireball I can change what ever adjustments on the fly. I like the kraken helis but I’m not a huge fan. Main reason I never owned a SAB till the RAW Series came out.

[@rsnate2930]

If I can get to the point where I can fly 25% as well as you, I will be extremely happy lol.

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

Thanks man! I’m not a pro pilot by any means! You will get there! Just practice as much as you can!

[@tomgjonaj9965]

Awesome heli. There is something about low headspeed 3D that is better.

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

I love mixed flying but I do love Lowhead speak to! And it just sounds so cool and a lot more work as you don’t have the headspeed as your friend lol

[@larrychamel]

Not 1st. lol. Wonderful Flight Jeff and your 580 seems incredibly dialed in! A few more changes for You, Obi Wan lol. Give my best to your little Angel. Any chance you could email me your Spektrum File for your 580 as it is? I don't think I would need your updates because I don't quite fly at your level of skill. Cheers my friend, I'll send you an email to reply to. Cheers!

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

Thanks Larry! I’ll looks and see if I saved this model file (I know I know! I need to save them all lol) but next time I fly this model. It’s a buddy I built for. I can save the file. The kraken is a awesome Heli!

[@larrychamel]

@@westhobbiesrc8051 Thank you very much Jeff, I'd appreciate that very much and never fear... no lectures from me, my friend! lol

[@Twx97]

Man I’m sad that i crashed mine. Thinking of repairing it and getting either the blade 330s or the trex 300x

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

Repair it! It’s a awesome Heli! 100 times what a 330 or 300X could ever be.

[@Twx97]

@@westhobbiesrc8051 money is the only problem i gotta wait😢

[@adana1800]

I did the same but mine fell in a little lake and I gotta change all electronics now. Such a bummer

[@toadiscoil]

If you want a small heli that is cheap to crash the OMPHobby M2 and the Goosky Legend S2 seem to be super popular lately, because they are good fliers and cheap crashers.

[@Twx97]

@@toadiscoil i already have the goosky and the m2 i just want something a bit bigger

[@Twx97]

First

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

Nice!!
