That is next! I’m just waiting on the kit to get here. I’m doing a three bladed build as well of course. I love my three bladed helicopters LOL yeah they are a solid copper wire which is makes it a little more tricky for soldering but I will definitely show how to do it! Yeah they might be less resilient but definitely cool looking!

@@westhobbiesrc8051 looking forward to it!

@@slimigan I got word today that my BL2 kit is on the way! So hopefully I’ll get in a few days and can get started!

@@westhobbiesrc8051 that's great - I'm done my build other than the tail assembly. I'll start with the extra stock tail, then try the aluminum assembly next...

@@slimigan awesome! Did you do the stock to Bladed head? I can’t wait to start mine!

The extended boom is nice if you want to run longer main blades or if you want more tail Authority. The longer your tail boom Is the easier the tail work. I highly recommend the kit! I’ve built some “high end” heli kits that are no where near as nice as this!

@@westhobbiesrc8051 I’ll be keeping an eye out for maiden. I’m most likely goin to get this kit n try with extended boom n have 245cf blades. Wait for weeks, but will purchase thru your link. Appreciate your vids. Great job

@@jtkeys7618 hopefully maiden this week! Went with a Brain 2 FBL but got sick with pneumonia so I’ve been out for two weeks, no flying or building but back at it as of yesterday so time to get this 230 flown! You can purchase through the USA warehouse if you want as I don’t have an affiliate link yet that is just the regular warehouse link. You will love the kit!

@@westhobbiesrc8051 I def am going to shame you should have a link. I was on fence , but you made it def for me lol. Wanted another chopper , but think this will do for now lol. Glad you we’ll bk at it. Happy flying

@@jtkeys7618 I will have a link soon! Just waiting on it, you will love the kit. You will be building a whole new heli. I don’t get impressed very easily but man this kit blew my mind! Thanks buddy, you as well!

The boom slides into the boom block a keyed way And stops once it is fully inserted

@@westhobbiesrc8051 keyed way? Sorry lol I just put boom in n slide it n it stops at the little insert. Stopping there leaves a little room which wasn’t sure if it shoud be in further

@@jtkeys7618 not necessarily a keyway but there is a notch in the boom and that little pen that it slides into to stop the boom from rotating in the boom block. Yes it goes and stops into that pan and there is a little gap for the wires to not be completely pinched off. Once you tighten the clamp down the boom will not move.

@@westhobbiesrc8051 ok. I’ve built this so many times first w/ MH frame. I just wasn’t sure where the gap is in the boom if that was supposed to pass that little insert in the mount ( confused cause it left little room . So yes it stops at that insert was all I need to know thx for the speedy response n help. Your build is beautiful 🤩

@@westhobbiesrc8051 my boom was bent little from that stock frame having to tighten down unbelievable so now it went over that insert correctly . Thx again

Everything breaks in a crash lol

Also I don’t build to crash, I build them for what I like

@@westhobbiesrc8051 Depends on the crash and how you fly the helicopter.Not everything breaks in a crash rule number1.

@@cyberneticinterfacemodular3996 anything bigger then a nano will break in a crash, of course there are things you can to lessen by hitting throttle hold and low head speed and so on. But if you crash a 230 it’s going to break to some point. Boom will bend or blade grip or bend a feathering shaft and so on. So just because you think add just break in crash so does a stock heli. But for example this carbon frame will take a hell of a beating compared to the stock plastic. You won’t be breaking blade grips sure you could bend them but again I build for performance and no for crashing lol

@@westhobbiesrc8051 This why i fly helicopters and quadcopters.Just not a fan of carbon for some funny reason i have had with it in the past in my job.
