[@Backyard_Buzzard]

no such thing as a cheap goblin crash

[@mykel1969]

ya that one was looking ok til I realized the one way was toast!

[@kaidok9314]

Hey buddy if you have any tail issues or with belt coming off, switch the tensioner to the otherside. There is a manual update out that actually shows it on the otherside. Also a video by greg jackson explaining this. If you already know this, please diregard. Thanks for the videos.

[@mykel1969]

ill check that out! thanks!

[@kaidok9314]

For the fun of it, if you had to choose between your 420 comp, kraken 580, or raw 500 and could only choose 1. Which would it be?

[@mykel1969]

the Kraken 580 for sure!

[@kaidok9314]

@@mykel1969 Yeah i cant blame you there, i mean they are all awesome heli's but the kraken is so unique. Thanks for replying back.

[@kaidok9314]

Hey bud, how in world did you have a boom strike? Last time i did was in the wooden blade days. Seems to be not as common these days. Thanks for sharing.

[@mykel1969]

haha! ya 1st off I forgot to switch up to higher headpeed before I started horsing around, second I poorly executed an inverted wall of death and dumped full negative pitch with full rear elevator. The X-Nova had the torque to overcome the load, so then the blade rotates in its bladeholder due to low head speed and strikes the boom. and yes I haven't have one either since probably a concept 30! not very common with the headspeeds we run nowadays. I'll remember from now on LOL. Thanks for watching!

[@kaidok9314]

@@mykel1969 Geez! That was dumb😂🤣🤣..j/k i'm a clown and an idiot. I will most certainly have to becareful because i really like low headspeed. I suppose i may need to tighten my blades up some too. I like running in the 1500 range, so i'll come back here when i have mine eat itself too.😆

[@Hulley29]

Do you have any kind of fail safe when you get out of control? I haven't flown Helis in forever (Logo 600) and I believe the "save you butt" mode was just starting to come out. LOL

[@mykel1969]

Thanks for the comment, No, I don't run a failsafe or bailout. Im one of those pilots that never seem to remember to flip that switch. I tend to freeze at the sticks if all hell breaks loose.Not to say I wouldn't recommend it, but you have to remember to hit that switch!

[@sawyerheslep8493]

Yes there are mutiple fbl systems that have bailout

[@sawyerheslep8493]

Is that pink or red?

[@mykel1969]

its pink but ya it looks red on GoPro
