Why we can't have nice things

[@FalconWing1813]

You young pilots got it easy these days. When I first started flying helis all we had were the large Nitro power ones. No stabilization, no learning curve just start up and Sink or swim lol lol . I am glad we have this technology now , makes it easier for people to get into the hobby.

[@Wild_Buggy]

RC helicopters are not for the faint of heart. I crashed two of them and then went back to my relaxing RC crawlers.

[@disciplinerc]

I feel you dude. Just need to keep practicing I spose, hopefully the next one doesn't 'splode 😅

[@friendlyreptile9931]

Maybe start with something like the Blade 230S than? It was my first and this thing is so easy to fly that you can't crash XD

[@disciplinerc]

@@friendlyreptile9931 👍👍

[@FalconWing1813]

Highly recommend a flight sim to practice, can save alot of crashes

[@boduke9428]

This was gonna be mine. Well one line this was. That durability is unacceptable. There is no "if" you crash it for 99.9% of us. When you crash the first time, it's toast. That is no Bueno.

[@bensnipes7288]

Welcome to rc helicopters. Fly, crash, fix.......reapeat

[@disciplinerc]

Copy that, I've heard a good quality carbon tail will hold up better to my 'skillful' flying abilities 😂

[@sheffandjelley]

OMP M1 - that is the heli you want to learn with. Comes with bailout and fly GREAT! And can take a crash really good.

[@FalconWing1813]

The fact that you could crash this heli and get it back up and running with no money spent is awesome. It used to not be this easy to fix helicopters. Go look up X cell 60 nitro heli. When that thing crashes your wallet is going to be alot lighter lol lol .

[@guest6423]

Your link to the Bell actually takes folks to the Apache. Fun review.

[@disciplinerc]

Opps, but maybe that's a good thing 😉👌

[@RCDevotee]

Thank you for your videos! They are great. I learned to fly many years ago and they didn't have all the assist capabilities of the latest helis. Helis are just fragile by their very nature and you need to practice fundamentals without all that assist. The first thing you need to learn to do is hover and land. All the assist you get with that heli stunts your growth and your ability to actually fly. Once you learn to actually hover and land you should proceed in flying in figure-8s around you so you get used to the controls with the heli going away from you and coming towards you. One of the biggest things with line of sight flying is training your mind to adjust the stick inputs depending on the orientation of the heli. I would pick-up something with a carbon-fiber tail instead of that flimsy foam. You will also want to be able to have main blades that can have it's pivot points easily popped back in when you crash. That helis beautiful but can't take a crash. One of the Blade skill level 1 RTF helis would be much better option if you want to really learn to fly. They are designed to take more of a beating and be snapped back in most cases during most crashes. I believe that initial crash was caused by the wind pushing you down while you were at a pretty low altitude. That crash I believe impacted your gyro and it just got progressively worse. It may have also been lose or vibrating after that crash which would have made it less stable and predictable.

[@GSG-lc5zm]

I agree.. I learned before all the assist stuff infact some of the first ones I flew didn't even have gyros .. but after I got stable and figured out where ground effect/rotor wash came into play.. I could chase my cat UNDER the dinner table (with the micron) 🤣😂

[@wingtang1180]

I wish they just issue pod and boom versions of these. Without the stupid toy looking body they fly much better and can take slower speed crashes very well.

[@disciplinerc]

Wow dude, thank you so much for that explanation. It makes sense how it got progressively worse. I appreciate the tips on what to get and how to practice. I'll have to look further into a proper carbon tail like you suggested. What size would you recommend? Some people have also mentioned sims to practice on, any you can recommend on rainy days? 😁👌

[@disciplinerc]

🙀🙀

[@GSG-lc5zm]

I'm pretty sure you need altitude for flipping it. And sterling is a good company, I got my brushless rally car from them a couple years ago

[@disciplinerc]

Yeah they are, I just missed something and rushed into flight head long. Hopefully I can learn from it, and help others from doing the same 😁👌

[@applefordguy76]

Another great vid sir, a reminder of why I will stick to the ground game! 🤣🤣🤣🤣😁😁

[@disciplinerc]

Cheers brother, think I might do the same for awhile 😅

[@MichaelWilliams-ei8cr]

I want one so bad but I feel I would have the same experience 😢

Tomley might have thoughts about you being an aircraft mechanic. 😂😂

[@aknmtbr]

I have a rage rc micro war bird and right now it’s my cheapest and most fun RC I have!

[@disciplinerc]

Might have to check that one out 👌

[@aknmtbr]

@ it’s a little plane. Super easy to fly with all the built in stability controls.

[@playanddisplay3636]

If this is your first RC flight, there are better learning based models. Check out the WLtoys helicopters and the Volantex warbird Rc planes both very durable with flight modes for beginner intermediate and advanced, plus replacement parts are easy to find and dirt cheap. You seem like a natural pilot so please stick with it. RC aviation can be very rewarding and fun.

[@disciplinerc]

Copy that, I'll check them out 👌

[@clinchdis]

I have the Huey, arrived yesterday. I noticed when first installing the battery it can move forward easy, maybe breaking connection, first flight it dropped out of the air into a hedge at 2 bars on the battery at the exact same time the controller started to beep, I thought it must have been crappy AAs in the controller, but once replaced with a completely new set- different packet purchased last week, it still beeped and didnt want to fly, second battery it was all good.. but I guess its either the battery vibrating forward or flight time is really 8 min even and a slow crawl around my front yard.

[@carloshnunez]

That is way I have not think of purchasing a helicopter 🔵🔵🔵🙂🙂🙂👍👍👍🔵🔵🔵

[@alantaylor353]

I've seen all I need to see.! No hecilopters for me.! 😉

[@disciplinerc]

It's stressful, but rewarding if you don't turf it at 30mph 😂

[@jeffkraus1457]

In order to invert the helicopter it needs to be in total manual mode, fly to at least 15 meters, activate the inverted switch and move the right stick in the direction you want to flip to.

[@disciplinerc]

Copy that, thanks for the tip my guy 😁👌

[@dankforest]

Try a hook and string. I have a lot of fun picking stuff up and moving it around with my copters. Im not good enough to do flips. So i just crane stuff around with them.

[@disciplinerc]

That sounds fun actually, I need more practice for sure 😁

[@MCsCreations]

That's indeed a bummer, dude. 😕 It's a beautiful helicopter... But it's definitely not made for crashing. Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@disciplinerc]

It's too bad, cause I'm really good at crashing it seems 😅

[@MaleficRacing]

Your workmanship is too good for Boeing.

[@disciplinerc]

I turned them down, but they just won't take NO for an answer 😜

[@bensnipes7288]

Tried to chop it's own tail off! Thought only Robinsons did that

[@disciplinerc]

Automatic landing button. Very cool. For me would be an automatic fly button really nice. Very nice and funny😬 video💯👍

Would like to have any of them. I’ve got a few big dogs also all comes out of my pocket and their not cheap and when they go down and they will and do small or big. Only one thing to do is rebuild it. I’ll take it

[@K2H117]

Your weather sounds like our weather, where are you?

[@disciplinerc]

In on the Lower mainland, BC Canada 👍

[@K2H117]

@disciplinerc ok, I'm in N.S strange that our weather is equally crappy 😆.

[@3DMOFO2020]

At the very least thankfully you are learning with a helicopter that size had it been a much larger one you would have got yourself hurt or broken a lot more parts which would've been terrible all around Aaron. Have you ever considered getting yourself a simulator like Realflight Evolution? They are very helpful to learn whether you are dealing with planes or helicopters?

[@disciplinerc]

Oh interesting, I'll have to check that program out, thanks for that. I'd love a non crash day for once 😅 My brain is simple and understands ground physics well, the air and 3 dimension is still odd to figure out 😬

[@3DMOFO2020]

Tip, read the manual first

Good tip!! I did but the English in it was very broken. I'm almost wondering if I can get a better read on it with Google translate

[@myrcobsession]

Mmmmm.... Warm buttery toast...

[@Thrashaero]

I got the rc era c123 (ec135 with ducted tail rotor) which is built a bit similarly, tried to do the scripted flippy with the trim button on the rc era controller and managed to do inverted no problem....but coming out of inverted took so long to finally activate then when it did it just made a real goofy swoop in a stupid mess and it crashed on top. Now the main shaft is a little bent (there's no replacements available that i know of that come without the motor making it a bit of an expensive pain, you may get the same issue since this also has direct drive main motor) and it vibrates a bit. Still flyable but of course, one of the blades just decided to unscrew off the hub the blade grip along with linkage and blade and it shot off somewhere, still can't find it. Also I very much dislike the extremely slow descent rate as well as the auto jump up. I want full control so i don't need special environment before using it. I would rather just spend money on a bind and fly edition for a regular radio protocol and channel instructions and manage the curves and stick actions myself like traditional helis instead of these pre programmed actions that seem a bit unreliable/predictable than ones own skills. As well as just these RTF radios now that forego displays. Something like the WLtoys V931 was able to afford years ago for much less. The 'smart'/'beginner' gimmicks on these is still far from worth taking for granted, despite how nice they look. Which is a shame because nobody wants their scale bodies and details repeatedly requiring repairs and replacements. It helps to learn on difficult helis first in a sim / low cost environment (like a micro 3d heli over tall and thick grass). then scale dashing and swooping will be a breeze.

Your Airframe & Powerplant certificate , in the mail . ( I know ppl ) & more attn after meeting ground ,your day is over. PERIOD Hello ground lol don't be them others that crash & tries to take up again with horrible catastrophic results for contents , then laugh . These not bashers , Gentleman's, they are fragile in every aspect . An insight to future Flyers, buy something with parts avail & back @ it again. Sorry about the mishap my winged brother & toggle off that obstacle Avoidance mierda , it's asking for trouble anything below 1 Meter, it freaks out big time lol Good job on repairs & happy Añejo Monday 🥃🥴 Salud ¡!

[@disciplinerc]

Cheers man, good tip. I'll be more gentle with the next one. Before the last crash, the thing was out of my control. Flew backward at full speed, wouldn't auto land and then flew forward full tilt into the ground. Really unsure why it became unresponsive, but I assume it was due to the impacts previously. Next go around I'll be more cautious and call it a day if I wreck 😕
