I built my Kraken 580 last summer and since then it has been sitting on the shelf without a ESC since I decided to go 12s and the 12s ESCs are just so dang expensive. This video is motivating me to finally get it in the air.

The sound may just be a harmonic. We used to dynamically balance the head and tail rotor, then use a Koll to balance the blades longitudinally and laterally. Anything that rotates needs to be balanced.

The iKon log revealed substantial vertical movement at the head on idle up 1. I wound up taking the grips apart, rebuilding them, and resetting 0 pitch. The blades balanced perfectly and the CG was dead on both of the main blades. The tail blades did not balance, but it just so happened I had another set in my stash what were balanced perfectly, so I changed them. We'll see what happens in the next day or so.

I really love this setup.. I am running almost the same setup with HW 120A V4 as well and Xnova 4020 Lightning.. But IU am running the MAXX Tronik FBL unit.. I would love to know more about using the Ikon and getting telemetry.... I can't get telemetry on my MAXX. so missing out on getting telemetry on the HW ESC

Search my channel for Ikon. Here's one of the two: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oLCbarGprtycYZc.html

I'm going to put some tape on the canopy over the servos and see what happens from there.

I don't think you can go wrong with either one. SAB makes very nice kits.

Did you manage to install the RX plate on the fbl support without adding the rubbers?

By far the best heli in my fleet... I keep checking everything up to around 30 flights then push it harder. I did have a tail noise like a clicking when turning head by hand but after a while it went away and I bought a tail belt tensioner and ran belt alitte loser and now it's perfect?

@RCVideoReviews 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the comments and first hand details. I've thought about getting one of those belt tensioners. Fred has one on his too.

Sound realy amazing, just wondering this size heli suitable for middle skils or required really pro experience 😄

@RCVideoReviews Жыл бұрын

If you can hover and have forward flight, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Kraken. It's an FBL heli, so it will fly like other FBL helis you have--just bigger.

Notice u are using radiomaster open tx, do u hv any tutorial video how to setting and bind with this beast, thanks in advance, 😊

Hello, I need some information, is the hobbywing 200A beak compatible with a kraken 580 or should I take the 130A beak? In fact I want to buy the 200A to put it later in a 700 but not sure.

tick sound is the belt tension.

@TangoOne 2 жыл бұрын

It went away when he took the canopy off. My bet is he has his antenna mount too far back which would cause the canopy to touch it.

Hi, how did you select your servos? My kit just arrived and I don’t see torque specs in the manual…

@RCVideoReviews 2 жыл бұрын

I used KST BLS915v2 for the Cyclic and BLS805X for the tail. This video covers how I chose these servos in detail: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gJuYaLhk0qeRZJc.html
