Boys and Girls, lemme tell ya it doesn't get prettier out than today in East TN. BUT, we still have to do the things we don't want to like tick tocks. I really just want to fly around, but you never get better that path. off into the uncomfortable zone we must press on!!!

Video response to WesthobbiesRC. There sure seems to be a connection to nitro here, but I have no evidence to back that up. gonna put the BK servo in there and see what happens
Torq tail servo really hot?? any ideas?

SAB Kraken 580 Nitro with torq servos, regulated os55hzr and Vbar EVO. Dead on with the setup, but I broke the end off one of the EVO antennas during setup, so I have to replace that but it flys wonderful. I had to keep it short today my hands are shaking pretty bad. hopefully better tomorrow

Wow ! Another silky smooth flight 👏
thank you! stick time stick time stick time....
cool vid bro, keep going. w for having heatwaves on too btw lol
hahaha!! W for noticing LOL! it usually Rezz on the simulator! but I was chillin to the FM this day! thanks man!
Cool
Been watching your videos and I must say there is enviable grace and smoothness in all your flights, super nice flying 👍
Thank you! Seriously, that means a lot cause my goal is smooth. Everyone has a pilot they emulate, mine is Alan Szabo Jr. I think all of us here who do this know this is the hardest thing to learn in life and I have been married 35 years!!! you will cry. you will quit, you will hate it, you will watch others fly with a green eye....but one day.. one day...you will hear things like this and let me tell you, its all worth it suddenly!
I enjoyed the low head speed flight, great flying.
Thank you! Im a low head speed kinda guy LOL
And btw great flying!
Love the roof rack in your 996!
Hey Thanks! Those racks are rare! U never see them cause Porsche had an issue with the screws breaking off in the roof so they just discontinued the racks rather than fixing the problem LOL.
Top! Thank you ...
Cool 🤝😎
Nice flying sir,that was pretty cool blowing the leaves, nice looking heli,that’s the one I want to get next.
Thank You! I love the 420. coming up on 500 flights on that one!
Thats the kind of leaf blowing I love the most! Another great flight in quite tight space with a lot of trees. I hope I will once have so much confidence! Best greetings!
hey thanks!! I just showed my wife your Robinson Super Scale Project hahaha!! Keep it up!! That was halarious!
@@mykel1969 Thank you! I am glad you liked my little Joke! Now I am looking for the right carrying bag for getting it safe to the field 😂
Super démo ! Je suis un fan de votre façon de voler ! ... merci et à bientôt sur votre chaîne UA-cam / Great demo! I’m a fan of your way to fly! ... thank you and see you soon on your UA-cam channel
Thank You!
Nice! I have begun my cold weather season and gave up flying until the weather gets better.
Thanks! I fly more nitro in the winter since my neighbors have their windows closed hahaha!! I hope to fly some in the snow this year, we will see.
limpiando las hojas . jajajaja bonito vuelo!
hi are u using a govenor or just curves im just buiulding mine might fit the spektrum giro or the ikon not sure yet, great flight mind u dont hit your nice car😀.cheers
hey thanks for the nice words, Yes this Raw 580 is running the spectrum 6250 with the governor active. I am still running the Trex 600 nitro with curves. I learned with curves, but I only use them if there's not a governor. Get it in the air!! good luck!!
Heck yeah! Nice flight buddy!
Beautiful smooth flight! Your garden and surrounding looks beautiful as well in fall and especially in this light!! Not to mention this great looking and flying heli! I wish you many such beautifulf days and flights!
one day at a time LOL Thanks for the compliment!
500 or 580 for my next build ?
500. I like the simpler drivetrain.
@ do you have both ? What’s the difference
@@thechevysilveradotec yes I have 3 580's: a nitro kraken, 12s kraken, and a raw nitro. but I fly the 500 a lot more. But there's a reason, I really like the plug and play batteries and I like the simple drivetrain. To be honest I fly a raw 420 more than anything. I have a 700 and 800, but my space is tight and I can stretch out a 420 or 500 a lot better than the larger machines. good luck and you will love either of them!! I get asked what's my favorite and it's "the one thats spooling up". haha! true though.
I just finished all the electronics on my 500 raw as well , I got 2 x s6 4000 batteries. Can’t wait to go maiden it this weekend. Thanks for posting again .
Nice flying sir,that is a nice looking heli, love the color.
Thank you, ya I didn't want the yellow since my 420 was already yellow! shows up good!
Nice to see you back!
ya I been messing with the guitar LOL.
FYI you can upgrade that radios firmware to 14 channels now.
i see your slot car track hanging up there. i have the old 1977 tyco nite glow empire 1000 set along with 3 other smaller sets with 7 magnum cars. more fun when your older than when i was a kid. i also have the trex 600e pro which i havent flown yet.
hey Thanks! I wound up moving it to a buddies house where we had a lot more room. Yes, re visiting old hobbies with new tech is fun! All the things we did as kids have been changed considerably with tech. Get that 600 in the air!!! good luck!
Nice video! Hello, I have been flying a heli (OMP M4 MAX) for half a year and I would like to build another heli. Is RAW 500 or 580 better? I really like the 500, but I don't know if the M4 MAX is too close in size. Thank you very much for the advice.
Hey Thanks! I would do the 500. It's easier to work on, and simpler design. I fly the 500 a lot more than the 580. usually if im flying the 580, it's the nitro. My 500 has the xnova and running the vbar in vbar-govenor mode and I will say that is the fastest reacting governor I have ever flown and the power is ridiculous! Good luck!!
@@mykel1969 68 / 5 000 Hi, thank you very much for the advice. I wish you perfect flying and minimal repairs :-)
Very nice
I want one of these,nice looking heli,sir, great flying sir
Nice flying sir,that is one nice looking heli !
Thank you kindly! Just trying to learn "old man" 3d, so far I got the old man part down!! Peace!
Very cool looking helicopter and smooth flying
I never experienced a hot servo until last week on maiden flight of my M7. Theta Razor elevator servo, and only this servo. The servo was as hot as the motor. I was running the cyclics at 760, 200hz. I know the linkages are super tight, and I had to dial main gain way down because it was shivering- I’m going to reset the servos to 1500 and 140hz until the Heli gets broken-in before messing with the pulse width and freq again. Are your tail mechanics smooth on your Goblin? Now I can see why other servos have heat sinks carved into the casing
Thanks for the comments, I backed down to 333hz, no change but then I did dial back the gain and that helped a little. I pulled it and put a BK servo in. It is running cooler, but still pretty hot. no airflow to it, im considering getting the Dremel out and making some room around it. Good luck with that Theta, hopefully thats tight links and will ease up.
That is one nice looking heli ,spektrum servos are all that I use,great servos
thank you thank you, yeah I really like the Spektrum servo's, smooth quiet and cool! but honestly it was the color match with the helicopter LOL
Had the same issues, double check the pulse/frequency ranges in the FBL unit. I had mine set too high on the freq side and the servo was really heating up. Lowered the freq a bit and solved the issue
higher the gain setting the hotter the servo will get
So Torq 0704T servos do not like vibration not 100% sure why. I run theta now in almost every thing. My very first theta T1 got stupid hot on my Nitro RAW 580. It’s still on that heli and never given me an issue. But I’ve seen and heard of many Torq servo failures on nitro helis.
hey Jeff!, thanks for the reply, ya im gonna keep em on the electrics and go to theta or bk.ill have the bk today to try. I also have that torq servo on a Trex 600 nitro, I should drag it out and see if it does it on that. Later man stay cool, I know you're hot or hotter than we are over here in J/C!
Nice. That Kraken looks really amazing all red with red servos and red blades, oh! gorgeous. hope you resolve your tail temp servo issues.
thanks! its funny cause I didn't really want red but I wanted nitro, now I love it!
Cool
Lower your tail gain. It's clearly at the limit for gain vs vibration corrections and tail axis movement, servo is oversampling and running too hot trying to recorrect all the time
I had not considered that, and thats a damn good point. I will do that next. I got a temp on it this morning and it was 122 degrees after 3 min. Thanks for the advice!
D-Gain in particular tends to amplify any vibration that gets through gyro filtering. Lowering D-Gain is first thing i would try.
Those Blades !!! Super cool
Hmmm! Is it hard mounted or rubber mounted? I’ve run a lot of Torq servos and never had one get hot but I’ve heard of them getting hot and issues with nitros some times.
Excellent flying sir,like the layout of your property,very nice
thank you thank you! its a lot of work, both flying and the property!
Check your bec voltage. I have same servo in three of my goblins and they are cool to touch after about five minutes flight.
thanks! this ones running straight 2 s receiver pack but I may throw a voltage regulator on it and see, but im gonna switch it out to be on the safe side
Yep, binding makes it warm/hot. Endpoints not good?
endpoints good, popped ball link off and everything moves freely. gonna fly it again tomorrow and take some temp readings off both helicopters tail servos.
I really wish you you get this solved and somebody can help you with ideas. So hot is very worrying. These two Nitros are really beautiful. I am a relative newbe ang flying electrics only, sorry! Good luck and better advise from others!
also my endpoints are conservative, linkage is free, nothings binding.
Have you setup your tail mechanically with correct preload, using rate mode instead of head lock?
Can you please do a video on your hat setup for filming in flight, there's zero videos about it and I'm trying to work out a good way to film my flights from the pilot perspective. Thanks for the videos!
I use a go pro 11 on a head mount that I bought off amazon in a kit with all kinds of mounts. I will take a shot of it in next video. Thanks!
The shop looks good 👊👊
Thanks, is a constant battle!
Hello ... great videos! I’m trying to fly like you "real flight" ... could you give me your flight controls ... I’m on Mikado VBAR NEO/EVO and I have two machines GOBLIN RAW 500 and KRAKEN 580 ... thank you and again bravo! Français: Hello ... super vidéos !

hey thanks! wow ya were are running same stuff! I posted a quick video of my v bar settings so you could see them. Thanks again and best of luck!!!
Great fun video! Your wife rather was not at home, right? That's what boyz do when Maam is out! Great flight with all these powerlines everywhere!! By The way: I love Simones epic video!! She has such a great sense of humor!! Best greetings!! Have fun and take care!! (of the flowers!!)
she knows to hit me in the back of the head with a rotor blade, no one will ever suspect a thing!!
@@mykel1969 😂😂😂
Look forward to the videos always ! Wish I had people around me that fly helicopters !
hey thanks! ya, I should really get out and fly with other people, I am just such an impulse flyer, the mood hits me and im in the air in 30 seconds. then off to other stuff!
Love the smell of nitro in the morning
heck ya! and nitro just has that "feel" in the air! I still like it better!
@@mykel1969 I think sound is important. That's why so many people want more blade chop on electrics now
Great job! I need to put my 580 on Vbar.
hey Jeff, thanks again for the help on the governor sensor!
