thanks . im trying to fly my 550 but in england it just keeps raining lol tuesday looks good

@@arcturus2382 Same here in Poland, it's getting rainy, cold and windy! Alltogether! I will fly more on the simulator now, although it's not the same pleasure!

hi ,i hav lost confidence in this heli it is ready to fly now but it has a bad vibration on it the electronics seem fine now and the engine dropping power is prob due to me not setting the govenor up yet i hav just used standard throttle curve for now , im about to maiden my trex 550 flybarr so that should be good if it goes well lol. i see your flying is getting pretty good now too .cheers

@@arcturus2382 Yeah, loosing the confidence is a bad thing. I once had unplanned autorotations because of my ESC shutting up in the worst moment! Took some time until my confidence to this heli came back! Thank you very much for your kinds words regarding my flying ! This winter I want to work on many weak points in the simulator. 2025 will be an awsome Year. I hope!! 😀 Cheers!!😀

the batery is not great but i should off landed sooner and been higher lol anoying when u hav good flight then crash at the end

@@arcturus2382 So true!! I sometimes had a crash after a great day with many flights I enjoyed .. and then flying the very last battery all went wrong! In my case my concentration was eaten off!

i do prefur the belt tail the gears brake to easy and yes they are expensive , i do hav a bigger lipo that might stop it being so tail heavy which doesnt help. anoying when i broke it last flight lol, im flying my planes more that seems to be more relaxing and cheap lol😂

@@arcturus2382 Small part of me was itching for you to get away from the ground, anyway. Altitude can be one's best friend, for time to react. Sometimes, haha, I like altitude a bit more than average, but....

@@andrewczski1969 i should of had some altitude but i was faffing around checking my camera thats why i landed again

most of mine do

hi . yes the batery was well sagged i should hav landed already lol,shes ready to fly again about 20 pound damage, great litle helis though

THANKS the next flight i crashed doing a spin and took the motor clean off . hav rebuilt it and she will fly again . no more spins lol

only blades and the pushrods conecting the main grip arms flew off and disapeared and the tail servo ,not to bad 😀

@@arcturus2382 Yeah,it could be worse ! It seems that your hometown suffers like mine often from windy days ..I would fly so much more if we would have more calm days🫣 Wind is venomous for helicopter Rockies on flybar like me 😅

thanks the confidence does go quick but it can come back with a few flights , just done the trex 500 crash now . lol

hi i also had this problem with mine they are a pain in the butt ,i rebound it several times holding bind button also pressing it 3 times as it says in the booklet it eventually worked so try bind again my s2 got smasshed a few times and i sent the t8 back but the new one was just as much of a pain i did eventually get it to work it vseems to be in the binding .

hi i found the problem was the crappy electric voltage reducer broke and i only discovered that today when i went to fly it again but i spoted it before i flew so that was lucky so waiting for new receiver pack. should be good to go

Oh no!

hi . one of the links broke on swash or servo broke not sure , u can see in the vid the heli wobled as i was half way threw the piro back to upright, , its broke blades and boom torque tube a servo and tail shaft , not to bad when it came down in a heap lol.😀

@@arcturus2382 well it could be worser,hopefully you will fix this beautiful bird .. Last year the gyro of my Rex 600 has failed in flight,it was scary,no clue how I was able to get it with nearly no damage emergency landed ,I guess I had a lot of luck ,since them I ve replaced the gyro by a microbeast X FBL system which I let act only as a gyro because mine is still a flybar bird .It works exceptional well😉

@@voneboy hav fixed some but need parts now . more money lol, this did hav flybar but i took this head of my 550, i bet your trex is nice with the flybar head i did fly my 500 trex flybar in one of my older vids and crashed that to

@@arcturus2382 I’m nearly sure that I also watch the video you are mentioning..My flybar Heli is a T-Rex 600 cf with some optional parts .

@@voneboy ive got the trex 600 cf belt drive thats flyin nice at the mo .

its a great heli lots of fun still only had a few flights

yes , hav been able to get the big heli out 😀

cheers mate ,its fun trying to find parts and get em goin again, cant afford all trhat flash stuff uve got lol

@@arcturus2382 lol - Arc you change your helis more often than i change my socks! ;-) I love the variation of those that you fly - great stuff pal.

@@HeliShed tell me about it lol it all adds up rather fast i could of bought some newer ones by now . still its all good fun ive got the trex 550 e to try next week

good job

thats the recomended size i do hav 3300 batts but they make it nose heavy my 500 l takes 3300 but they slide underneith so they balance better

hi i actually put a slightly bigger motor in mine and i use a 1300 4s lipo so it proberbly worked out about right , i couldnt say how good it flies i mostly fly helis so my skills on the plane are not great my cg is about 90

@@arcturus2382 Hi and thanks for that. It sounds like the combination of your bigger motor and 4S put the CG right. I have mine at 85mm with a 2300 3S for the moment (still with ballast in the nose), but I haven't tried it yet. I did do a radical hack and realigned (rotated) the wings forward by moving the pegs in the fuse. Now the horizontal tail is in one line with the leading edge and trailing edge. I am wondering whether the pegs were glued in too low which dropped the trailing edge slightly. We will soon find out!

@@mrhilma sounds like u hav set it up with zero degrees incedence so that should fly the same inverted as upright ,i need to fly mine more but i dont hav easy site for planes but it does fly good my first flight i crashed because i hadnt flown for ages but had s few flights since ok . i got a timber x yet to be flown flying the balsa belero is nice but i dont want to smash it up lol will u hav vid of your flight would like to see if so .cheers

Exactly - 0 degrees incidence! The hope was that it would be more neutral. The weather's turned bad here, so I may not see test-flying and videoing conditions for a while. Timber should be more relaxing!

@@mrhilma hopefully will get to a good flying site in summer to fly the timber its still in the boxlol

south england

thanks .not quite keeping them goin yet but nearly there

lol i still hav a 600 flybar to try out as well

cheers its a great practice heli cheap to repair 😀😀

cheers yes it wasnt to bad just a servo and straiten the boom but the blade was broke so i do try and buy the seconds u can get them for 15 pound sometimes , just got a load of tarrot blades for the 450 8 pound so not so bad .

yes land was soft i put on spare servo straightened boom and had a pair of spare blades and she ready to crash again lol ,and flybar in 2024 lol ive just bought a 600 trex flybar heli and a 550 flybar ,i hav got a flybarless head for 550 though the 600 will remain as is unless i find a head for it .should be fun

@@arcturus2382I've got a Trex-600e, currently out of service as I need parts, mainly need the CF frames, but they're not really in stock anymore. In the process of rebuilding my CNC machine to cut out the CF frames. Seems that's the only way I'll be able to get them. Hopefully you can still find trex 500 parts.

hi . yes 500 parts are easy there are lots of them and should be able to get some 600 parts on ebay . if u serch internet u might find some new frames i hav seen them sometimes depends were u are i found some parts then they usually are in other countries with expensive post lol

@@arcturus2382 I've checked ebay here and there and I do see some but they're in UK (I'm in US). Which isn't all that much of an issue, however it seems they're used frames, which I would prefer new ones. Ultimately I will crash the heli again at some point so I'll need to find a longer term solution with regards to the frames. Other parts like the main gear, main shaft, etc.. will probably become an issue further down the line as well. I think it some point it'll make more sense for me to fix it, retire it as a shelf piece and maybe pick up a more modern heli. I have an old Shuttle ZX that's 25 years old at this point that sits on my shelf. Parts for that would be impossible to find.

@@K9Megahertz i just got a blade 500x so i had to buy 2 so i could hav some parts but trex helis are usually good u can just buy another heli for parts but a newer heli is easyer but were is the fun in that lol, i had a shuttle in 2001 i didnt keep it unfortunatly ive seen 2 on ebay this week

lol i thought it was toast , just shows how strong they are . u do hav to make sure the blades are tight vto avoiod blade strike, i did turn the motor back on but it didnt spool up as fast as it should i hav turned it up more on the esc but dont know if i shall risk it again lol

high its a tarrot head the rest is trex its quite good ive just ordered some more tarrot bits cheap blades etc , theses 450 are great to practice for cheap repair cost

yes i just had boom strike on my sab 420 doin an auto so i hav the bladers tighter now

no wind today or tomorrow should be nice .😀

cheers shall try 4s .not to fussed about the undercariage the grass always grabs it anyway .cheers

they make a nice change now and again ,these small ones are great for a small area

more luck than judgement

@@arcturus2382haha i'd say more judgement than luck! You're getting really really good at flying now mate! ( that damn parcel was delivered by amazon today, and the idiot driver did the same thing as royal mail were doing, he posted it through the communal door letterbox downstairs and the parcel has been stolen!! Fuming! I spoke to amazon customer services and they're sending a replacement out in 2 days! I've had no luck recently me have I mate!!?? LOL )

its mine

i did hav a microbeast which was good but i just changed to the spektrum fc6250 which i like also . it is a great heli plenty biggernough compered to a 450

just tried one on the 420 it didnt go so well heavy landing boom strike and blade grip lol 30 pound down and there was no sd card in camera

​@arcturus2382 Oh no! I love my 420, but parts aren't cheap, that's for sure.

yes it realy is built well and flys nice ,troubl;e is u dont want to crash lol , ineed to get my trex 450 out to chuck about abit
