The Best SAB heli Ever Made!

[@phillipmarlett1744]

That's awesome I love the white Orange

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

It’s a great color scheme.

[@merlavery5057]

I just bought one from helidirect yesterday. I missed the sale, but it'll be worth it. Thanks David in customer service.

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

You will love the RAW 580! Still my favorite heli ever!

[@travisdopler289]

Hey Jeff, Keep up the good work bro. Your vids are the best most informative yet. I wish i could give more support. Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

Hi Travis! Thank you for supporting the channel by watching the videos! I hope they are helpful and you continue to enjoy them!

[@RC-Heli-Overdose420]

Yay I’m so exited got my kit and my electronics show up soon, I can’t wait to get everything together it’s gonna be awesome

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

That’s awesome! Good luck!

[@RC-Heli-Overdose420]

Ya man I even tracked down a v bar basic if it shows up? I really don’t want to k bar this heli but I will if I have to. It’s gonna be sweet compared to my 500 sport

[@RC-Heli-Overdose420]

And thanks again for all you do I’ve been loving your content

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

@@RC-Heli-Overdose420 Thank you! Im glad the videos and channel is helpful and enjoyable! Just flew my TB60 on Vbar NEO today. Wish I could find more Vbars! I would definitely not but a K bar on this heli.

[@RC-Heli-Overdose420]

Ya I would much rather support mikado, I ordered one but the guy got back to me with an excuse that he sent it somewhere else by accident…..and now I’m stuck waiting.

[@gjpyzf]

Any color scheme on a 580 is great because it’s the best SAB machine engineered to date period 👍🏻

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

Yes it really does! My favorite heli ever made.

[@dmitryrussian]

Agreed with you, Jeff. Have my Raw 580 with X-Nova, KST, HW, SRLX v2 and ix14.

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

Such an incredible combo! I should have some KST servo soon to try and a build!

[@dmitryrussian]

​@@westhobbiesrc8051 Jeff, KST = Torq. It's the same company, just for America it is Torq, for other world it is KST. Politic or something.

[@PFinkoloTL87]

Great looking and flying helicopter 👍

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

It really is! Liking this orange scheme!

[@dandorris8531]

very nice machine, one of my goals for one of these someday. Going to grab the goosky s2 and get better with that one before the sab 420 or 520.

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

Get an S2 and practice a ton once you are comfortable flying that you can move into a 420 than 580. The S2 is a fantastic learning Heli!

[@CrenSpirit]

I love mine! 12s is where it’s at though 👌🏼 8 mins with mild 3D 4400mah 😂

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

I have one on 12s with 606mm main blades. It is a beast of a model!

[@yoavbob]

Hi @WestHobbiesRC can you make a video on to prep for the maiden flight and a video on how to dial in the the helicopter after the 1st flight? (I'm a beginner when it comes to setup and building my own helicopter your help will be much appreciated)

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

Definitely can! Working on a “how to tune iKon” video as we speak!

[@yoavbob]

Love your videos. What headspeeds are you running ?

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

Thank you! It’s setup for 1600-1750-2100

[@1911ang]

I can't believe ikon2 is out of stock for a while I haven't flown my raw 580 yet

[@roberthardy7868]

I particularly love the low head speed flying. Do you think SAB will ever sell a DD version of this model? Looking forward to your low head speed flight of the SAB 420 Raw with the RT 420mm blades.

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

I was hoping the new RAW 500 was going to be DD but it’s not. I hope one day! I need to get the RT 420s on the RAW 420 and get some flights in!

[@MrEdjob]

@westHobbiesRC How much does it cost for you to assemble a 580 just like this ??

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

Send me a email at [e-mail] we can talk about a build and everything you want.

[@700sizehelisaretoosmall]

Is the piuma an own breed or is it as „beginners big Heli“ as is the glorious 580

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

The Piuma is a combination of the RAW 580 and nitro 700. It’s a nice heli. The 580 or Piuma is a beginners heli. Main reason is part cost.

[@700sizehelisaretoosmall]

@@westhobbiesrc8051 so I should be happy of not having bought an urukay and yet be on my 420 before 580/piuma?

[@Twx97]

yo jeff how are u doing. I just wanted to ask you i crashed my goosky and was running the 3 bladed head. And i bent the 2 shafts i think but will replace them all, do u know where i can find them because I didn’t find anything in microheli site. But man that 3 bladed head is such a beast, don’t like running the 2 bladed head on my goosky lol

They are longer on the S2. The feather shafts, head block and blade grips are the same.

[@_RIL_]

Is there much of a difference between the kraken and raw versions apart from looks?

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

Build wise there is differences as well as flight performance. But they both are fantastic models!

[@_RIL_]

@@westhobbiesrc8051 I see, could you comment on the flight performance differences?

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

@@_RIL_ personally I like the RAW more. It fly’s lighter and better for hard 3D, the Kraken fly’s great but you can definitely feel a difference in weight as well as the fuse while pushing the heli around.

[@_RIL_]

@@westhobbiesrc8051 Oh I see, so the holes in the body of the RAW helps reduce the drag I guess. I appreciate the response! It helps with choosing one or the other. I just ordered a Kraken 580, I really love the look of it :)

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

@@_RIL_ The open body design and standard tailboom really help with sideways and smack style flying as the air flow can pass right through, it also helps with tail performance in time. The Kraken 580 is fantastic and I’ve flown both many many times! Great choice!

[@michael88997]

Man I’m torn between this on 6s or a piuma on 12s 4400 packs… I wouldn’t be doing crazy fast 3d with either

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

Both fantastic helis. The Piuma is a stretched 580. If you build a Piuma i highly recommend 12s! If you want a low head speed 700 size heli then definitely the Piuma. If you want something smaller that still flys good then definitely the 580.

[@700sizehelisaretoosmall]

Totales my 420 alzrc is this a candidate?

[@pumagaming2482]

Hey Jeff! Is there anyway I could send you my heli for you to tune it out and make it fly great?
