[@scu-dub]

Nate I would be so appreciative if you have an old dsm dsmx /spektrum radio that you no longer want I would love to buy it from you nate I'm lost as to what radio I wanna get with jumper releasing the t14 I like but then the t20s is the gamer style that I love and it's so hard to find the right radio lol

[@zmanphx]

Nate, It was me who commented on about flips and rolls should be axle. Have you utilized an rc simulator for helicopters flight? Simulators are valuable tool to gain muscle memory and flight feel. Many simulators also have training tools. I used simulator for week practicing flips and rolls and upside down hovering before doing it on a real model. Simulators save you time and grief of a crash. Also, you should be practicing learning to do bank turns and circles in both directions just like you would an airplane . Safe will not allow you to do a proper bank turns.

[@zmanphx]

@@scu-dub get a radiomaster t16. You can fly 99% of the rc radio protocols including spektrum.

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

Here’s what you need to do quit trying to do flips, loops, rolls. Practice your orientations in every direction. You should be able to take that helicopter up right and do anything and everything you would like to do figure 8 left and figure 8 right stall turns left and right circuits left and right once you master that then warm it backwards once you do that then start morning to hover, inverted and do it all over again upside down. If you just jump into flips and rolls you will never learn the right way and you will always have spots or orientations that you cannot control the helicopter and cause crashes.

[@TheRcSaylors]

That makes perfect sense honestly! To do all of those maneuvers inverted scares me a bit, but I’m up for the challenge. Thanks for the feedback!! 🙏💯😎⚓️

[@paulhord1099]

That's where I'm at boring tation but your right have to do this first then u can put it where you want it between manivours

[@HciContractor]

Gotcha. I'm going to do the same. I do pretty well on RC planes but I'm about Nate's skill level on the Heli. What is a Stall Turn? Maybe someone can explain a stall turn pls?

[@zmanphx]

@@TheRcSaylors When you are in safe you can't do bank turns. Practice doing circles in both direction without safe. Safe is giving you bad habits and not giving you confidence. 3 words, simulator, simulator, simulator . That is how you gain muscle memory.

[@Southwickspecials]

I can’t believe you bought a new helicopter over a bent tail boom. Lol. Oh and no surprise the spectrum smart battery killed itself. That doesn’t happen with normal lipos btw.

[@scottfirman]

I have one brand new in box, never have time to fly it. I sold a few planes and all my helicopters for that reason. Good video Nate.

[@RCCopterLove]

Congratulations that you did the flip using negative collective pitch (throttle stick down in idle up modes) and most of all that you did not swith back to safe or stability mode right after doing the flip! Thats a big and important step and it's much safer in my experience than switching off and on safe mode right after a new maneuver. Now you begin to get real control and begin slowly to get used to negative collective pitch which in inverted flight provides upwards lifting thrust. Great! You are doing really good and from now on you will progress. I recommend to try it now with newer direct drive helis from OMP or Eachine. They are in a totally diffent league and make everything much easier! Best greetings from Poland!!

[@HciContractor]

What OMP would you recommend someone about Nate's skill level? I can't believe they have negative pitch now, that's crazy. I've got a couple older Blade 120's

[@RCCopterLove]

@@HciContractor Hi! All OMPhobby helis, from the smallest M1 EVO over M2 EVO and the M4 up to the biggest M7 are fully capable 3D helis. I would recommend the OMP M2 EVO for someone with Nates skill level. With idle up modes (flat throttle curves with constant RPM) you can adjust the positive and negative collective pitch as you prefer and need for your flying style in your transmitter and flightcontroller. You find many videos on my small channel "RC Copter Love" about the M1, M2 and M4. The M7 is a number too big for me! I hope this helps and happy flights!!

[@rcpete7055]

Mee too Nate this year has been the year of RC heli for me👍 I have 5 cool rc helis, eachine e120, e120s, e150, Firefox c129, XK k110s 😁

Looking great, Nate!

[@TheRcSaylors]

Thanks Ethan! 🙏😎💯⚓️

[@MrPeyregne]

Nate, I would inventory your collection and find out if you have more than one of each type. Then select and sell on Market Place or have a give away from your channel. Great job again to Abby for her camera skills. Thanks again for your support of the hobby.

[@donharsh61]

Awesome helicopter Nate and Abby and looks great in the air and enjoying watching awesome flying too 👍😃😎♥️

[@TheRcSaylors]

Thanks a lot Don!! 🙏👍💯⚓️

[@ryanrekz7744]

I've flown a blade 230 before and as much as it was fun, it doesn't compare to my SAB mini Comet, best small helicopter ever made

[@paulhord1099]

Not throttling down its negative pitch as you roll keeps the heli level

[@TheRcSaylors]

You are absolutely correct! My brain of flying things for 10 years with throttle on the left hand stick just defaults to this type of communication. It makes sense as I’m saying it, and I’m trying to also be relatable to our audience. But again, you are absolutely correct. 💯⚓️

[@frisos3944]

Great feeling when you achieved something new, and take the helicopter home in one piece! Good job!

[@TheRcSaylors]

Thank you very much! Yes it really is an awesome feeling 👍😁💯⚓️

[@RobisonRacing68]

[@Pauly_______]

"Is that a bird?" Camera loses helicopter shot lol. Squirrel momment

[@Darren.n.RCvids]

When you did the first video of this 230s heli i went out and got the same one, spend 2 years learning to fly and got very good, i was at the same stage Nate is at where i would gain height and turn the safe off and do rolls n flips then turn safe back on, i was getting very good, can almost leave the safe off now after doing a roll or flip but think the esc is now faulty (had a few crashes,lol) But want to thank you for introducing me to flying my first helicopter.

[@petewatts30]

So many KZbinrs think they're learning 3D by trying something and then quicking snapping it into safe. Helicopters are about orientation and 3D is like the next level to mastering every possible angle the model can be in. Some of these KZbin heli pilots have been flying for 20+ years.

[@zmanphx]

100% agree. Using safe to learn is very bad habit. Newbies should be learning from experienced rc helicopter pilot. John Salt's site teaches rc helicopter flying . Flying collective pitch is about confidence and muscle memory.

[@TimothyFles]

That's the generation of these days, they do something half a..s or with a lot of electronics that basically do it fpr them, and then want the credit,saying look at me..I am so good...this guy must have had a good time,good for him, but he can't even hover, luckily he gets all those toys for free, (also good for him)..

Hey Nate...As a fellow "Office" fan, at 8:30, I think of the scene when Dwights at the gym, talking to what's her name, the chic Micheal was dating from the sports bar..He says something like, You know me, I don't quit till something pops or snaps" lol 9:02 You're not "throtteling", you're "Pitching", so to speak. Either way, You're a braver man than I Gunga din! 12:15..."That was pretty cool though, right?" LOLOL! do it again Nate! lol ;) Not as cool as the classic, "I meant to do that." Great video guys. Nice to fly a heli that's predictable. Allows you to start to experiment and hone skills.

[@user-ef1wb6bt8h]

About your dead battery. Idk if it will work for rc type batteries, but when power tool batteries won't take a charge and appear to obviously be dead.... it is possible to bring them back to life. At least a fair chance. Basically, what happens is, the charger can not sense the battery is plugged in. So, use lead wires from a good battery to the "dead" battery . Leave it set for a couple of minutes. Hopefully enough juice is put in the dead battery, so the charger can see it when it's plugged in. Yes, like jumping a car battery.... kinda. You probably already know this, but just incase

Great job! I agree with another comment. Get rid of the conscendo. 2nd one id get rid of is the Cherokee. You have similar other sel civilian replicas. For a third, get rid of the 4s futuba in my opinion.

[@TheRcSaylors]

I can agree 100% with the Cherokee! 4S Futaba is a good call too. Conscendo would be fine as well. Definitely going with the Cherokee. Thanks for tuning in and helping motivate me, haha 😅💯🙏⚓️

Also, we make a contribution to our local park to have benches as we live in the most poverished county in our state. ❤️✝️⚓️

On your Spektrum radio, e.g. NX8, you can assign a switch for an audio event that tells you how full the battery is. very convenient. And a nx 8 or higher radio, is better for fligth helikopter. I find, this rtf radios is trash Super loops and flips 👍🤟

[@jayaustin3096]

Ask archer the leader of the argonauts witch planes to get rid of. Lol. You know.

[@Offroad4x4life]

When you put that helicopter in 3D mode it goes from basically a fixed pitch to a collective pitch helicopter meaning now your throttle isn’t controlling the motor rpm it’s just controlling the pitch of the main blades so inverted you can climb or descend in altitude in safe it acts as a fixed pitch heli more throttle or motor rpm makes you go higher 3D mode is a fixed 100 percent head speed your just controlling the main blades

[@zmanphx]

All 3D mode does is giving you more negative collective range and fixed head speed. It depends on the programming of the throttle curve and the collective curve.

[@TimothyLedin]

Wrong and wrong.

[@ChrisDavis-eq9lj]

You can never have enough, much less to many planes. And Nate? SMH, stop it! If you are flying a fixed pitch toy helicopter you use throttle to control elevation. If you are flying collective pitch helis, you may use throttle to spool the rotor up and lift off. Once you switch to flight mode, you are no longer controlling throttle with the left stick. The governor is maintaining head speed and you are controlling blade pitch. Push up for positive pitch and climb, down for negative pitch and sink. Until you are inverted. Then negative pitch will push you up. But stop calling it "throttle down"! If you did reduce throttle while rolling or flipping you would not be able to return to hover because the head speed would be to low.
