Yes. It’s like they say. If you don’t use it you will lose it. Thanks for the kind words.

I think a lot of them flying well is who is flying them :). NightFlyyer is good on the sticks!

@@mssippijim Thanks James!

So true. Thanks kindly for commenting.

Thanks very kindly for your comments. I appreciate them.

Thanks a lot Scott. I am glad to show you it fly now. Semper Fi!

Thanks so very kindly. I love the sound too.

Thanks so very kindly!

Thanks very much!

Thanks a lot, Bud. You were there for those great days and nights, and I'm sure you remember Cliff and his shop in Costa Mesa. Semper Fi!

I agree and really love it. Thanks much.

Yes, it flies much better on the lipo than that big NiCad. Thanks Luis!

Thanks very kindly. I appreciate that.

Yes. You should see how well it does on a 4s! Thanks.

4s I would like to see in the future someday Dave?

Thanks very much!

Thanks very kindly Rob. So true. Technology is whizzing along for sure.

Thanks to you too Shayne!

Thanks very kindly. I appreciate your comments.

Thanks a lot, Chris!

It also had no bec so radio was originally powered by separate 4.8v Nicad. Thanks very much.

NightFlyyer remember those from my old nitro planes.

Thanks. I agree.

It does pretty good for sure and very simple. Those oldies but goodies. Thanks Justin.

@@NightFlyyer yes I saw one next to a hyperfly at the ama museum saturday Definitely eye catching!

I think because it does look like the old Bell 47G, is one of the reasons I like it too. I always liked MASH because of the helis. Thanks kindly.

Thanks very much. So true are your comments.

Yes those were around a while too. Thanks kindly.

Thanks very kindly for your comment.

Thanks very much.

Thanks very kindly for your comment.

Thanks very much. I appreciate you.

Thanks much.

Thanks very much for saying that Ray. I appreciate that, as it's usually a 5 minute flight and 8-10 hours of editing. Be well!

Thanks very much Kyle.

Right on. Happy flying.

Thanks very kindly!

Ah, another no gyro flyer! Great to hear and I loved my Hummingbirds too. Thanks kindly for commenting and being a subscriber Benito!

Thanks very kindly for your comments.

Thanks a lot Chris.

Haven't see your handle in a while, so thanks a lot for the comments and for stopping by.

Thanks very kindly Emmanuel. I hope you are well down there in Mexico City.

So true. Thanks.

Thanks a lot. I appreciate your comments.

Thanks very kindly Arturo. I appreciate that.

True, but the motors are still spinning pretty fast.

Thanks much. Yep the rotating part of the motor is like a bell. Your right about the gears, but this one is quite quiet for sure as you heard. Thanks again and keep flying....or driving!

Gracias!

The real noise comes from the coils singing like speakers with brushless motors, not like quiet brushed. (Like I said in the video) those beeps you hear are the coils when you arm the motor. They sing rapidly at high speed, hence the constant noise. It's very rapid beeping, since each coil is fired one by one like a linear accelerator. The no gyro flying is why I pinch my throttle sticks. Cant afford to drop it. LOL Thanks.

@@NightFlyyer even epoxy coated coils make noise but the source of noise are not the coils It's the rotor As coils get triggers they produce force on the rotor but when the magnet gets over the energized coil the force disappears and that pulsing causes rotor to have that specific sound You can even hear it in the induction motor when it's direct line started all of the sound comes from rotor phase stepping when loaded

There are no digitally pulsed coils in a brushed motor.

@@NightFlyyer There are if you're using an electronic speed controller, which would be what Black Turbine means by "today's controllers". Your theory that a brushless motor should be noisier because coils are being switched off and on doesn't really hold up, I mean the coils in a brushed motor are also being switched, just not digitally. Humans don't hear electromagnetic radiation, we hear by air waves. The beeps you hear when arming are intentionally done at human-audible frequencies, and mostly come from the physical movement of the motor. Try removing the rotor from a brushless outrunner and see how loud the arming beeps are. I believe they also reverse the polarity/direction for those beeps as well, to ensure the motor will not actually start rotating, and to make the bell vibrate more back and forward on the spot so to speak, instead of just getting pressed up against the natural 'detent' of the magnets in one direction which would soften the noise. I don't know much about CP helis but I suspect the rubber band drive for the tail rotor might have something to do with how quiet this one is...

@@iforce2d I disagree and have much experience with the digital motors since they were first invented. Tail rotor is typically quiet in all belt drive helis, and I have lots of experience with them. The digital pulse from the ESC pulses only 1 coil in the motor during arming, so you can hear it. It also tries to turn the motor slightly and I have seen that happen lots of times. 3 beeps will move the rotor slightly with each beep. When it is running, the motor is getting beeping all the time. Its a fact that brushless motors are more noisy than brushed.

Haha. That is funny! Yeah, no one complains. Thanks and nice to hear from New Zealand!

@@NightFlyyer haha thats true, no complaints lol, cheers Dave, happy flying :)

I already have many helicopters that have all that, so there is no way I would modify this antique vintage helicopter. It is already a flying masterpiece and is worth quite a bit of money the way it is. If I change it, it will be worthless. Thanks.

Hi back at you and thanks for stopping by.

Those were popular Machines too. Go for it. Thanks.

Head speed is mentioned in the manual at 1250. Thanks much.

There are no weights on this flybar, just the wood paddles. Weights usually help with dampening the cyclic control and to balance the heli even further than balancing just the blades.

Yes it is a bit puffed after that first flight when it went dead. I've all ready cut the connectors off and have it in the metal case to take to the Hazardous waste dump with a few others. Thanks.

Well it wasn't totally calm when I flew it, but it always handled the winds very well to me.

Yes. Digital motors which are pulsed by the esc’s have always been louder. Thanks.

The rotor diameter on this is 40" and the flybar diameter is 17", but newer helis with flybars can be shorter.

Not yet. I may do that. Thanks.

Oh wow. Those were really popular in the day. Hope you still fly it.

We may have. I know knew Ray for sure. He was trying to make big engines, too as I recall. I was president of the Sky Nauts RC club at the time. We flew at Robinson Ranch up in the hills, and later on I became President of the Capistrano Aero Dumpers, where we flew in San Juan Capistrano out on the Ortega Highway. Nice to hear from you. I might have met Theo too, as I was the distributor for Klasse. Thanks and happy flying.

Yes I do vaguely remember, I owned and flew a TSK KIASER.? Kalt Baron Alpha2, XCELL 60 Custom, Hirobo Shuttles from the XX to the Shuttle Gold I’ve owned them all at one point. One oh the most fun helis I can remember having was a Kyosho CONCEPT ZEAL, IT WAS AWESOME! Well my collection was about 20+ strong, but in 1994 someone broke into my shop and cleaned house...I was devastated and quit flying for 8 years.. Ironically I ended up becoming a UAV Pilot since 06, and now I just moved back to Cali as I took a job flying commercial drones for a supporting utilities company, so everyday I get to fly a 30,000 dollar quad copter all over the greater Los Angeles area doing inspections. Please keep up these vids, I absolutely love to see all of your toys... Oh yeah, I also had a Gorman Cobra and a Dieter Schlutler robe?

@@Mu2driver Great to hear your story and success now. I lost over 100 planes, quads and everything I own, in that huge fire we had on 911, 2016, so can relate to your loss. Most of my new stuff was donated to me which needed restoring, including this heli, thanks to my wonderful subscribers. Yes and Ray worked at Condor Hobbies.

I am sorry to hear of your loss, it’s such a cool hobby, and all of us have had the pleasure to watch it grow throughout the years. By chance did you know Brian Suarez? He was heavily into Helis and hung around Costa Mesa? Anyways keep them vids going... Correct me if I’m wrong, wasn’t TSK helis Built like a Swiss watch? I sure wish I could get my hands on one...

@@Mu2driver Thanks. I dont remember Brian. His name sounds familiar, but...Im 72, you know. LOL. TSK helis, I never had, so cant help you there.

Never had that problem but the lipo and a bec made it lighter and easier to fly as you saw. If you had one did you buy it from me or Cliff.

@@NightFlyyer It came from a local retailer, Slough R.C Models.

Thanks for that Jon.

Haha. Yeah, before Gyros, we didn't know how good they were and just dealt with it. Its hard to go back after flying a gyro, as I was reminded with this flight. Thanks Garry.

Your speaking to the choir. I have replaced hundreds of my batteries. I also have to take them to a special facility to dispose of them. All of them slightly puff eventually and that is when I replace them. They look worse in the videos than they are. I have made many videos on the subject including blowing them up. Thanks for the suggestion.

@@NightFlyyer ah. Gotcha. Sorry to be presumptuous. I just go to the field and see people flying packs that look like balloons then talking about how dangerous lipos are. Kind of irks me:/
