In this video we get the Maiden flight in on the SAB Kraken 580. Needs a little FBL tuning but what a great flying heli!

Love your videos! i'm an ole fogey who has been in the hobby for well over 30 plus years and I have just seriously gotten into flying helis. Started of with the blade helis, progressed to Goosky but the SAB helis have always been on my wish list even before I started flying helis, finally I just placed an order for the RAW 420 and the reason why i finally decided to get it was from watching your videos. Thank you very for all you do for the hobby, I truly appreciate it!

Thank you very much! I greatly appreciate that. I try to make the best more informed videos out there to help each and every one. SAB makes the best helis on the market. They fly incredibly and build like no other. You will love the 420! It’s still my go to practice and warm up heli. I greatly appreciate the support and watching the channel. Thank you.

Not a chance to own OR able to own one of theses but really enjoy watching anyway. You explain very cleary so its easy for the novice to understand.

Never say never! One day you might own one. But thank you! I appreciate it I tried to make the videos useful to everyone because trust me! I completely understand not everybody in this hobby is going to have number one the money or the experience to ever fly or build something like this but at least you can learn from it!

Brilliant maiden Jeff, crazy how you notice all the imperfections that need to be tuned out. Great stuff 👍🏻

Thank you! When you have been flying as long as I have you can see/feel the things that need to be adjusted. Sane with planes, I can fly a plane and tell if surfaces are not level, wing is warped, tail is crooked so warm and so forth lol

Great flight, can't wait for the piuma vids. Wondering what setup you'll run. I might get a 7s for my raw. Defenitly don't need it but it won't hurt either 😂
@westhobbiesrc80512 жыл бұрын
It definitely won’t hurt lol so on the piuma 700 I’ll be running a X nova motor (of course!! Lol) L4035/2Y 600KV and 12s 3300mAh 70c pack. Build videos start Monday!

How do you think this heli would do in a Funkey 600 size Hughes 500 fuselage? I’m looking for mild aerobatics on 6S. Great videos btw.

Sometimes I feel like flying 3D helicopters is endless to learn, because every year the pilots are getting better and better.Even if you are better then me at flying 3D we both need practice. Even tareq alsaadi needs to learn more because there are a lot of stick combinations that tareq alsaadi doesn’t know how to do. So ever body that fly helicopters, learning to fly them is endless.
@westhobbiesrc80512 жыл бұрын
Helicopter flying is literally endless! You can make up your own maneuvers you can learn all different kinds of maneuvers. You can combined maneuvers to make your own! It’s pretty crazy what you can do.

Nice flight 👍 I've also have the Kraken 580 but I use the Spektrum AR 7200 bx fbl. Can you help me with the setup for my first flight. Throttle : normal % stunt 1 % stunt 2 % Tail gain : normal % stunt 1 % stunt 2 %
@westhobbiesrc80512 жыл бұрын
Thank you! It was a normal nothing special flight but I fly it a little harder on the second flight! Throttle curve Normal- 0-60-60-60-60 Stunt 1- 70-70-70-70-70 Stunt 2- 90-90-90-90-90 Gyro gain Normal- 32% Stunt 1- 29% Stunt 1- 28% Now of course you may want to change/adjust from there but that is exactly how I am flying it. Tail performance is rock solid head speed is perfect.
