HELI'S AND SPEED
Переглядів 383Місяць тому
Well no flying in the UK this weekend, so I thought I would make one of my complilations!! Called Heli's and speed,I have enjoyed recently putting some fast passes to music during my videos,I find my choice of music is often fast and frantic,as that's how I feel during this fast pass flying.
TREX 470lp SAVES THE DAY

Well not the video I had planned for today, as I was going to fly the Goosky RS4, but during a set up flight with a new flight controler I crashed, unfortunately I wasn't being filmed as the light was quite bad, I was waiting for it to get light before filming!! From experience in this hobby, I know the best thing to do after a crash Is get on with it and fly!! So that's why the video is titled...
IS THE MARLIN FIXED ARROWS HOBBY MARLIN 64mm EDF
Переглядів 254Місяць тому
Yes the last time I flew the Arrows Hobby Marlin, It was really playing up!! It was cutting out and loosing power!! I wasn't sure if it was the ESC or the receiver, but something was up!! So had a close look and found a load of grass clippings clogging up the EDF unit, so cleaned her out and gave her a check over and here goes.

Some great memories there and great maiden flights, the 2m beaver is awesome....jeff.
Yep the Beaver is a fab model plane 😀👍
What a beast Ian, looking forward to see her fly and to see how much more quiet it is from the other helicopters, happy christmas to you both....jeff.
Thanks Jeff, Happy Christmas to you 😀👍
Hi Ian Just run across your videos. They are very informative and going to use for building my RS4
Thanks and good luck with your build 😀👍
Hi Ian. Nothing to do with this video, but I had to share this with you. A very loud, low plane just went over my house and landed at the Hamilton, Ontario, Canada airport. Right away, I went on flight radar to see what it was. Turns out to be the RAF Boeing C-17A Globemaster III. What a beast that was. Not sure what it is doing here and wish I had a picture flying so low over my house. I knew by the sound it was something special, like the Lancaster when it flies over.
Wow Dave, what a monster of a plane that is, I've never seen one!! However I have seen the Lancaster bomber up close quite a few times!! Thanks for the message 😀👍
Great video Ian with lots of different aircraft, some nice maidens especially the tiger moth as these have a tendancy to nose over on landings....jeff.
Thanks Jeff, how you feeling now? Are you better? Hope you have a great Christmas 😀👍
@@IansRCExploits Hi Ian yes im slowly recovering and can't wait to fly again, have a great christmas and new year....jeff.
Hi Ian … very interesting unboxing …. This is so well packed and all credit to manufacturer for taking the trouble to pack so well in groups of parts … This is something for me to look at in retirement but guessing not cheap but quality !!! Thanks .. Michael
Yes a quality kit Michael, cost about £500 so quite an investment!! Thanks for watching and commenting 😀👍
Good unboxing, Merry Christmas !
Thanks Ironmover!! And a Merry Christmas to you and yours 😀👍
Looks good, I can say the TB canopy is the best I've had from align thus far, I have had zero issues with it. Loved the unboxing, I'm looking forward to the build set to see what i could have done different. I love the TB 40 like I mentioned I will be going for the 60. The Tron orion 5.5 has caught my attention as of late. Have a wonderful Christmas If I don't get to chat with you guys before then. Jason.
Happy Christmas Jason, I'm not sure if I'm going to do a build video yet!! Lovely kit though 😀👍
Merry Christmas, helicopter is not my thing, but I have one question, why are there so many flying sticks and so few helicopters with a body that looks like a real helicopter?
Good question, I guess the pod and boom heli are the most popular, you can get scale heli's but they tend to be very expensive 😀👍
Beautiful Christmas tree Ian and Cheryl! Nice piece of kit there man...look forward to seeing you fly it!
Thanks Adam 😀👍
Very Christmasy Ian, that looks like a nice build for over Christmas 😄
Thanks Chris, wish me luck Lol
Wow that looks like a quality chopper, looking forward to seeing the build and maiden flight. Merry Christmas Jeff in LA USA
Thanks Jeff 😀👍
First to comment😅. Nice cristmas present Ian😁 Nice screensaver on you're phone😃 Good luck with the build Ian, have fun. Looking forward for the build serie and the maiden flight
Thanks Adnan, I wasn't going to do.an unboxing but changed my.mind right at the last minute Lol
Hi Ian, just watched your video and was wondering, did you sort out the wobble? Im just putting 1 together, only I have the 5 blade head 🫣. I'm curious... are you flying on the rugby pitch at Eryri?
It was more of a bobble than a wobble!! Had to replace all the Rotorscale mechanics as they weren't the best, replaced them with a Trex 450!! I think you should be OK with a five blade head, I've always felt the bobble was to do with the rotor size being to small, good luck with yours 😀👍
@@IansRCExploits thanks m8. I'm in north wales and usually fly from a beach on Anglesey. Are you local?
No im down South 😀👍
@IansRCExploits no worries, I've subscribed to your channel all the same. Diolch yn fawr 👍🏼
Thanks for subscribing, I've been to Anglesey a few times, I remember swimming at a beach and the water was bitterly cold, I think it was the Irish sea, clean but cold 🥶
Kill the annoying music and get to the topic.
👍👍👍🐎
Thanks Airhammer 😀👍
All good Ian, always nice to see any content from you. This trip down memory lane a great one. 👍🏻
Thank you Chris 😀👍
Cool video Ian, very nicely done!
Thanks Mark 😀👍
Hey Ian! How you doing? Always a pleasure to watch your videos of your flights with your different aircraft! Thanks for sharing and Happy Holidyays!🌲🙂🚁
Hia Melvin, great to here from you, I hope you and your family are keeping well 😀👍
@IansRCExploits Hi Ian,good to hear from you! My family and I are doing well,take care now!
👍👍👍🧈
😀👍
loved the 500x build video series, the piper j3 cub v4 video at first when I viewed the video some months back I thought she was a small nitro. the decal and aesthetics with the engine looks awesome, yes 1400mm is not a small plane for some reason she has that 900 - 1000 look to her. beautiful none the less. I do love a good rain out day, ample time to do all of the other items i usually procrastinate on. enjoyed the video. Good day to you Ian.
Aww thanks Jason, nice of you to say, I have bought myself an Align TB40 after watching your videos!! Although I must say the drive looks a bit over complicated at first but I just had to have the latest generation of a Trex!! Thanks for watching and commenting 😀👍
@@IansRCExploits the TB 40 is super easy, Main thing is framing it out and insuring it is all square. Pay attention on the section where it depicts squaring the frame up on a flat surface I think the manual said a sheet of glass. getting the tail boom in, belt on and keeping square. with the tension was teadiouse but smooth. the drive and main shaft no worries. it is a snug fit. it will feel tighter than the usual pinion gear to main gear set ups of the other models. the belt main and tail drive system. over all I love it. I will get the tb 60 around march. 💯. Thank you Ian.
Quick, ain't it?!! :)
Yes great little EDF Jet Airhammer 😀👍
Ian...great shirt! Man it sucks the WX is bad there, but I really enjoy hearing you reflect on your journey!
Weather has been shocking Adam 😒 Thanks for watching and commenting 😀👍
They land like a dream .. the v8 fms p51 was equipt with a 580 kv motor and the v7 was equipt with a 540 kv .. most owners do a zip tie mod to the back of each prop hub to increase pitch 1mm for extra power and staying within the esc limit .. another beautiful bird to fly so good I have 2 of them 👌lol ..regards Jeff 👍🏻
Yes I knew about the zip tie mod, but decided to keep my one standard, I love it though 😀👍
@ yea I fitted the v8 580 motor in my V7.5 p51b stock and plenty of power for good scale flying 👌
Morning Ian .. no need to apologise for these reruns …. I find you reflecting on your history of flying and your channel totally facilitating… What you have achieved and filmed is amazing ….. I feel totally under achieved so will have to get going with more flying next year !!! This was so enjoyable especially with your commentary.. really lovely … Many thanks .. Michael 😊
Thanks Michael, glad you enjoyed the video 😀👍
Another very enjoyable video, Ian! I completely empathise with your nervousness about flying the 2.0m D.H. Beaver. I suffered the same with my first ST Discovery. Having been enticed back into the hobby by James May's Toy Story glider episode in 2012/13, I got this RTF trainer... unboxed it... put it together... and then put it back in the box, filed under "Well, that was a bad idea! Where am I going to fly it? It's HUGE!!! I can't fly that!" So it went into the loft for five years. I lost five years of flying and I kick myself now. These days, I just get stuck into it and what the Hell 😁
Yes, I agree Gina!! When I maidend the Beaver, I was completely overwhelmed by it's size 😒 But the last time I flew it, I thought, what a puppy 🤣
@@IansRCExploits 🤘🤘🤘👍👍💯
Great commentary Ian 👍
Thank you Cliff 😀👍
She’s my favourite bipe and relaxing flier in my hanger Ian .. still my go to after near 10 years of airworthiness .. a real relaxing experience with the dynam Tiggy 👍🏻👌
Yes it a great plane, I don't fly it often enough!! Thanks for watching and commenting 😀👍
@@IansRCExploitsthanks Ian ..I have been watching ur trex 600 vids as I have just got the identical heli .. I start my heli lessons at my club next week
Wow you've got a Beast like me Lol I haven't flown my one for a while!! I've been meaning to make it flybarless but have struggled to get a DFC head for it, good luck with your lessons 😀👍
Aww sorry Jeff I didn't realise from your channel name that it was you 👍
@@IansRCExploits lol shorts display the name differently.. I will ask at my club if anyone can locate a dfc head and get back to u .. cheers mate 👍🏻
Certainly a nice trip Ian. The Geek is a place for info. Good stuff my friend, AirHammer out!!
Thanks Airhammer 😀👍
I also want a scele J3 cub, and I think fms has the most reasonable option right now.
Well it's a lovely looking and flying model plane!! Thanks for watching and commenting 😀👍
Wow, you nailed the landing👌
Thanks Adnan 😀👍
Smooth😅
Lol thanks Adnan 😀👍
Nice upload Ian😁. Question, what type of plane is that on the ground? The grey one😅
Do you mean on the floor in my Hangar?
@IansRCExploits yes😁
@@adnanlamriHi Adnan, looks like a Hawker Hunter bur Uan will tell us I'm sure 🤔
Such a shame the goosky crashed and i hope you can fix it, nice flying Ian and great landings....jeff.
Hi Jeff, yes bought the parts to fix the RS4, so should be done when I get around to it!! Thanks for watching and commenting 😀👍
Nice to see the progression of your career. Well done. 👍🏻🙂
Thank you RandyB 😀👍
Nice video Ian. One of my flying buddies actually learnt flying with a Eflite P51 1.2m. I was surprised it worked for him😂
Yes bit of a strange choice for a trainer!! But as long as he learnt I guess that's the main thing Lol thanks for watching and commenting 😀👍
This is a great idea Ian. Very interesting to see your journey with commentary. Sounds as if Cheryl was there the whole time. You two have been together a while, very nice, great gal! Your British aviation choices were understandable of course, and oddly enough choices this Yank would make! Very much enjoyed this man!
Thanks Adam, I started flying Heli's before I met Cheryl but then stopped, However me and Cheryl were together when I started to fly again!! And has been a big part of my RC journey!! Thanks for watching and commenting Adam 😀👍
Ian fantastic the history of Ian's RC Adventures. Jeff in LA USA
Thanks Jeff 😀👍
Hi Ian … this was so interesting and enjoyable … Grest idea sharing your RC history .. Love your story around the Spitfire and Tiger Moth …. Brilliant film and lovely voice over … Well done Ian … Thanks Michael
Thanks Michael, only did it because rain stopped play Lol thanks for watching and commenting 😀👍
I like this trip down memory lane, nice story’s behind the Heli’s and Planes. 🫡
Thank you Chris 😀👍
That was a nice watch Ian,it's nice to look back and remember 👍😎
Yes it sure is Bob 😀👍
Nice upload Ian😃. I love you're hangar! Also nice shirt you are wearing👌😃
Thanks Adnan 😀👍
They were all very nice flights, I especially liked the Spitfire! I wish I could show you when I got my own Discovery to stay in the air. It was exciting and immediately afterwards I was worried about how to land on this. Nice to see memories like this. 🌝
Thank you for watching and commenting 😀👍
I enjoyed that, Ian! Your journey to the Spitfire was pretty much exactly my own, and your videos gave me the confidence back in 2018 to at least buy the Spitfire as an aspirational target to achieve. Please do another video like this! 👍
Aww thanks Gina, it's great to know that our journeys are similar in the RC game!! Thank you for such a nice message!! If I don't get any more messages, at least your one message made the mornings work worth while 😀👍
Great compilation of helicopters Ian, very fast, great flying....jeff.
Thanks Jeff, hope you're feeling better 😀👍
@@IansRCExploits Thanks Ian, not a 100% but getting there.
Hi Ian … what a great compilation…. The speed of the heli’s is amazing … I think many are as fast as fixed wing planes !!! And as others have said, great filming by Cheryl…. Thanks .. Michael
Thanks Michael, yes they are quick and sometimes scary 😀👍
Awesome speed runs I like seeing the difference between the goosky, align, and 330. I do love the sound of the 500x best. in the runs. the sound is amazin, they are quick.
Thanks Jason, to be honest I love them all Lol but the Goosky RS4 is deceptively quick 😀👍
Very cool Ian! Freaking quick helis!
Thanks Adam 😀👍
Zipstar 1....
Thanks Airhammer 😀👍
On take off it goes to the right I can't even take off
Sorry to hear you're having issues with your 330s Carlos, it can be a problematic heli, I will put a link to my playist with all the issues I had with the heli and how I got mine to fly better!! It has helped people, unless they have the ready to fly version, without a programmable transmitter, a word of caution though this is hiw I was able to sort my heli out!! There's no guarantee it will work on other heli's 👍 ua-cam.com/play/PLDCas2NfR4SHPbwdutV7dkd5kBkL0-S0O.html&si=tmrxsqpMHNl_O1j9
