So Easy! Why building my OMPHOBBY M4 Max was a pleasure

[@RCCopterLove]

Unfortunately bad weather, lots of rain first and now snow and strong winds delay my M4 Max maiden flight. I am not made from suger, but the conditions are so bad now, that even as a ultimate heli freak like I am not able to fly my new heli for the first time. I hope weather conditions will be better soon!

Great video. I have just completed an M4 build, my first RC heli build. As you mention it looks similar to the 4max build and I too made the mistake with the belt, a difficult step but other than this all was relatively straight forward. I still have to complete the radio link and set up my Fly Bar Less unit (again a new for me) but cant wait to get my M4 into the sky.

All_things_RC Thank you for your kind comment! Yes, for guys like us new to building kits bring the tail belt just with the right amount of twist through the tail boom and around those pulleys is tricky. I wish you good luck with the Flybarless and radio setup! This was another challenge for me as I don't like computers, smartfones and programming. I wish you a great maiden flight and lot's of fun flying this beauty! The M4 and the M4 Max are now my favorite helis! Best greetings!!

It's really good to see that You building helis with passion. About 12 years ago I was building my first 450 size Heli. This is fantastic thing. RC modellers should share their passion and experience with young peoples. Keep RC Heli Alive! Greetings!

Great build video!! I'm almost through with my green M4 Max build. Is the color you have the Magic Orange? Thanks for posting!!

[@RCCopterLove]

Thank you! I am happy you liked this a bit untypical build video. Yes, it's the Magic Orange! The green looks beautiful as well! I wish you a great finish of your build, a fantastic maiden and lots of fun flying your M4 Max! We are haing very difficult weather. Snow, minus celsius temperatures and a lot of wind... Before we had a lot of rain. But I hope to get a good moment for maidening my beauty!

Is it possible to bump up the volume on your videos? They always seem much lower than everything else I watch.

[@RCCopterLove]

@dogtrpp Thanks for the good note! My wife is filming me in most of the cases with her mobile phone. I have to think of adding a potable wireless micro and how to get this better sound to the video picture! I am a complete amateur in this whole stuff! I promise to work on that! Thanks for the inspiration!

What a piece of art Mathias! Well done. Do you have help with the electronics?

[@RCCopterLove]

Hi @frisos3944 ! Thank you very much! This time I was able to do the programming all by myself, because I just had to copy the EdgeTX model file of my M4 to create the M4 Max model in my Radiomaster TX12 MkII. My good friend Matthias was laying the basis for this last time. Same with the Brain 2 file I had. Receiver binding went great, I reduced the headspeeds, all went well. But now the weather became bad. Lots of rain everyday - now even some first snow and minus temperatures (C)! Extremely strong winds. A bit of bad luck postpones my M4 Max maiden flight. But it will work finally!

@@RCCopterLoveyes the weather is difficult lately. But went flying this morning. Very cold but no wind!
