Great flight, I finally have my Align T15. It is very powerful but i need to setup the helicopter to fly it the way I feel more comfortable. It feels very jumpy and it drifts It feels very responsive, I need to add more Expo and better pitch control.

@helithunder56 Ай бұрын

Hi micro, you just need to get used to flying it every heli flys differently. I like around 20% expo in all my helis. You could try a lower head speed and reduce travel to 90% ( dual rates ) will help tame it. Hope you get it tuned to your liking pretty soon….it’s a pretty sweet flying heli when you get it setup to fly the way you want.

no need to be in a hurry the heli you’re flying now is a good size to learn forward flight on…if still trying to learn all 4 orientations nose in will come natural once you start flying circles. A 700 class heli is a flying lawn mower that can cause serious damage and kill you if not ready for that size of machine…. I don’t know where you’re at in your progression but knowing how to fly will make your first 700 class heli a much more enjoyable experience!

Hedanksmemus. The numbers are pretty much the same on both motors but the Xnova motor will give a bit more power and run cooler. I have a Xnova TAREQ EDITION motor in this heli now and the XTS series are supposedly not too far behind in power. When looking for a motor one of the numbers I look at is the watts the motor has ( 750 watts = 1hp ) peak power and continues power.

Great Flight buddy. That one seems to cook pretty good through the sky. I built my first 700 this weekend, the Raw Piuma. I am such a huge fan of SAB and i love the slow, big air, slow 3d stuff. My maiden was about an hour ago and she did great, was just a hover and small circles but was nervous as heck, my thumbs were shaking. My headspeed was at 1050 with 18t pinion and 115 tails(SAB Brand). HW 120A ESC Egodrift 4025 1050 kv Pulse 5300 6s Spirit gt fbl Torq mini servos on cyclic(used raw 580 mounts) and full size on tail. Receiver is just 1 SRXL2. Tried using DSMX sats with it but spirit doesnt allow them to mingle like IKON does. So gonna get another SRXL2 and just run those 2. Using the TX16S but can't seem to get a straight answer on a good small receiver. Next up after i recoup from all this spending will be a conversion to RAW 700 canopy and black skids. Thanks for all the great videos. Take care. -Mike

Hi kaidok, congrats on the successful maiden of your new Raw Piuma ( awesome heli ) sounds like you have great setup. I know how you feel when you lift off a new heli I still get kinda sick on maiden day there’s so much running thru your head on what terrifying thing could happen let alone lifting off your first 700 class heli…it’s a awesome achievement! Sorry I can’t help with your TX16S satellite options as I have no knowledge of the radio you’re using. Like to add one more thing welcome to the big leagues not many of us 700 pilots around

@kaidok9314 Ай бұрын

@@helithunder56 Thank you, and yes i too know that sick feeling. :) It's fine on the receiver i believe i have decided either on the RP3-H new one from RadioMaster(if i can figure how to wire it) or just running another SRXL2 for safety backup. Honestly and this is probably my ignorance but i'm not sure why i would need another reciever because been flying with one SRXL2 on 400 forever but hit the 700 and that's all i hear. I'm guessing it's mainly because of the destruction factor if it fails.

With any heli larger than a 380 class heli you need a reciever plus a satellite or 2 satellites for added diversity so you don’t lose control of your heli.
