[@AnythingEverythingRC-rc1yc]

I remember watching your videos prior to this one where you were explaining what you were going to do to make room for the jet. Very Simple, very well thought out. It looks SUPER CLEAN! I don't know if you get the "Jitters" anymore when flying Heli's, but this might? LOL. Thanks Jeff!

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

This has been a long and thought out project. I started the build in January, I spent a week just looking at it and thinking how I wanted to do everything. Then waiting on parts to be made to designing and printing parts. Lots of work went into this heli. I don’t get nervous very often, but I’m definitely nervous on this one!

[@newtonfirefly3585]

Awesome heli, Your channel just popped up on my feed. Subscribed, I use to fly heli's in the mid to late 90's with mechanical gyros and flybar's lol. Crazy how much this hobby changed.

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

Thank you for watching and subscribing! I started flying helis in the late 90s with a GMP Cricket. No tail gyro. I remember those days lol times have sure changed!

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

It’s definitely different! Something cool!

[@scottdearmond5532]

Jeff, amazing amount of set-up and build knowledge in this video, and your helicopter 🚁 does sound amazing, the turbine starts off sounding like a old “white gas” ⛽️ Coleman lantern . . . And then the realization of extreme rpm takes over, if the turbine only had exhaust on 1 side, the thrust would tend to spin the helicopter 🚁😮. 🤞🏻🍀

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

Thank you! I appreciate that. It’s been a challenging but fun project. I have really enjoyed building this Heli. I can’t wait to get it in the air. The RPM is crazy! Idle is 60,000 RPM and goes past 120,00 RPM.

[@nickdean468]

That sounds so sweet 🎂

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

It sure does! Sounds even better in person!

[@maks-yaremenko]

hey, why did you set the cyclic servo frequency 144hz?, thanks

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

I didn’t, I just didn’t get to that part when I film that clip. I set it to 333.

[@600torque]

what is the metal line that goes over the muffler??

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

It is a oiler line that goes to the gearbox.

[@gomergomez1984]

Does it use a hydrostatic transmission to transfer power?

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

It uses a gear box. There is 90 degrees gear box that’s driver of a turbine blade. Engine spools the second turbine blade which drives the gear box and runs the clutch.

[@lechiffre2617]

Locked and loaded - cant wait to see and hear it. Sophisticated stuff there...

[@frisos3944]

Wow! Very cool! How loud is it? Do you need earplugs?

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

Very loud! That is the reason I cut the video is because it just blew the mic out and you couldn’t hear anything especially when I got on the throttle that close. It’s probably smart to wear earplugs when you’re standing right next to it.

[@karlhines82]

You can set your trim up on a switch… that way if you bump the trim you don’t shut off the engine. Also you can go under the “Info” menu on the hub and prime the fuel pump. Let it run for a little bit and then connect the main fuel line to engine.

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

Great idea on setting the trim to a switch! I did prime the fuel pump that way, but I guess I didn’t let it run long enough I only let it run until I got fuel.

The filter between pump and turbine is the wrong position. Filter must be before the pump. Please read the instruction from Gaspar

[@westhobbiesrc8051]

yes, I know they say to put it before the pump but I’m running an filter clunk as well so it’s got plenty of filter.
