I bought one in the 80,s from new when they came out first and only flew around in circles....i still have it in my attic and am now going to put it together again. I now have electric helis and with help from flight simulators can fly some 3d so will be interesting to have a go with this old fellow again and see what its like. The electric modern helis are so solid in the air and their tails never move..
Thanks kindly. I actually have my home made rotor blade lights on it now. Nitro is now $60! Gee...that takes the fun out of it, but I agree, love to fly it.
I love these vintage old Nitro helicopters as they are far more affordable than new ones and rough around the edges for old school guys like me. According to Websters, Vintage means well built or of a good lasting design, representing the high quality of a past time: not Old! I got this one on Ebay complete with one of the most reliable radios made. I made a few modifications and took it out for 3 flights. I hope you enjoy seeing the results. Thanks for watching,
just scored me a vintage KC30 today on the free. Your video came in handy old man. You've shown me what to do about those lose dampeners, thanks a bunch :)
Absolutely fabulous! That SR looks great in the air. Even with the blades out of track while inverted, it still looked smooth! Nice flying as always, sir. Like everyone says, you make it look easy!
I decided to buy a Nexus back in 2000. Didn't have a mentor and sunk about $900 into it. Crashed it 3 times and gave up. Sold everything on Ebay. Wish I would have had you around back then! Awesome flying and setup. Thanks for the video.
Coo to see you flying these older helicopters, this is the kind of flying I aspire to being able to do, nice and smooth. I’m not really that interested in the 3D stuff, after about 20 seconds of seeing people chucking them around all over the place I’m bored of it but I do like this. I can appreciate it takes a lot of skill to do but I just think it looks out of control and can’t even see what they are doing half the time haha. Great flying and thanks for sharing 👍
Hello Dave, it seems you recovered from the fire. I am very happy for that. Nice video. I am a fan. I fly also vintage nitro helicopters here in Belgium. Keep going on with these cool stuff video's. Patrick
Thanks for taking the time to make this exelente video. Had a question about this helicopter. I bought this exact vintage helicopter and I would like to start buying nitro and glow plugs to get it started but have no Idea what blend of nitro or glow plugs to use any info is appreciated
Well, I would suggest you get someone to help you with this helicopter that is experienced. One of the things about nitro helis, is the engine has to run perfectly,and it takes a fine ear to tune them on a heli. That said, I use OS #8 plugs and Torco 15% Nitro in all my nitro helis. www.torconitro.com Hope that helps. Good luck.
i just got a concept 30, i replaced all the servos, got new link rods for the swash plate, new cooling fan and starter cone are on the way, new gyro, dx6i and reciever, i can't wait to fly it i hope all this work pays off i have started it so the motor runs, and they gave me a new unused motor to
This might be an older video but I just bought on for $40. It ran two years ago. I will have to go through it.Replace fuel lines, replace battery packs, gice the engine a good cleaning, possible new bearings if needed. I wish you lived closer to Michigan. Mine came with everything. I have a guy that is selling me all his spare parts including blades, tailboom and a mess of other parts for $70. It also has the original gyro. I hope to be flying it by next summer. I have two other projects to finish first.
Very nice controlling sir ! I got kyosho concept 30 in garage sail Never used, but there is no gyro in it, So my question what do you think a good gyro for it ? Thank you !
Thanks kindly. A single axis rate gyro is all I used in this Concept, and all it needs. It was from Horizon. But I really like the Quark Spartan that I have in my T Rex's. It is more of a heading lock, but should work for you a bit better. Happy flying.
nice flying . I learned to fly with a concept 30 and airtronics radio. then I got a nexus I liked that bird so I decided I was gonna try a flip with the old concept 30, lol I was so nervous I started in idle up 1 , smoked the clutch and its sit ever since.
Weird, I just got one a couple of weeks ago too. Hasn't seen air time or fuel either. Unfortunately, while going over it I found a broken part. Know anywhere to get these old parts?
Hi Night flyer! Buddy i have a mess. I've recently put another SR together, with a Super Tigre G34H. My question to you or any of your friends... The carb was a real mess. When i disassembled it, the idle needle was stuck in the spray bar!!! Now, if i turn the idle screw all the way in, should it cut off the fuel completely? I'm thinking it should, and if i remember, it should bottom out and come back the quarter turn. Thanks again buddy, and good flying!!
Thanks brother, I had soaked the carb, but the idle mixture needle had actually stuck inside the spray tube, and left the adjustment screw inside the outer housing. I can repair the needle assembly by tapping the needle gently back into the base of the screw, so if it's correct in saying that if I bottomed out that screw with the carburetor barrel all the way shut, I should not be able to blow any air through the carburetor fuel inlet. It's either that, or find out the overall length of the needle assembly. LOL I could just buy one.
@@NightFlyyer Hello again sir, Still admiring your excellent heli piloting 👍👍. Got a question for you. I've flown GMP Cobras and Competitors,50 and 61 size OS. The only other engine I've messed with was this G34H Super Tigre on my concept. I had more issues than the carb regretfully. Anyways I recall you're using an OS 32? Do you like the way it acts? Trying to find another engine for my favorite heli, and I would certainly appreciate your input! Thanks buddy!
I just got a Kyosho Nexus 30, which I've seen one on your channel as well. I'm going through it and getting it ready to fly. Though I'm trying to track down the Tail Slide Ring (H3045). Do you have any good resources to find this part and any other discountinued Kyosho parts? Thanks for your help.
Hi Sir. I just got my own Concept 30SR and the carb seems to be stuck or gummed up according to the previous owner. Previous owner said it has not flown in about 15 years. I was wondering if you can do a tutorial on removing and cleaning the carb. I would really like to fly. Thank you.
0:14 WHOA! I haven't seen one of those in years Dave my uncle trained me on that same machine once I got better flying it I bought my first electric helicopter a T-Rex 450 CF I was actual able to try inverted hovers with that same Concept 30 SR he seen me doing with my then T-Rex 450 so he let try it on that heli boy it was a very stable machine inverted as well as upright.He crashed it 10 years ago because of pilot error.
Thanks kindly for the story and glad you are a good heli pilot. Sorry about the crash. All heli pilots( including me ) crash, as that is all part of the learning curve.
True Dave but it was my uncle who crashed it not me he was doing some nice autos and such until he made mistake it somehow got over his head he didn't have munch time to recover it fell hard and broke it was the end.
how much for the rtf or a bind and fly version? Is 300 about right? im good with a plane and jet want a large heli for my first to help with orientation and inertia
foobar201 they were designed like a tank. Back then, they were not cheap and built to last. I just bought one and it still work great. Its the regular Concept 30.
I have a question I have one of these its the older model from memory quite a large heli can you still get blades for these? My blades are warn through at the base and before I fly her I want to know that the blades will not fly apart, or if a simple fix will work?
I have Zeal 550 blades on mine. I had to cut the tips off to 500, so they did not hit the tail rotor and balanced them. Many symmetrical blades can work. If the hole is damaged or sloppy, I doubt that the blade will fly apart, but tracking will be difficult if too sloppy. I would replace the blades. Also check Ebay for stock blades.
They can fly out of sight, and as far as the range of the radio, just like planes. If I made a video of it flying out of sight, It would crash, because if you can't see it, you can't fly it.
@@shenn456 yes, but Flying a Heli fpv is not my bag. Besides all my FPV stuff got burned up in the fire that destroyed all my models, garage, shop and house and weather has become a big issue for flying right now. Maybe next summer...
Yes, there is an Auto Rotation clutch. Heavier blades (these are weighted near the tips) carry more momentum and Auto rotate better. Auto rotates are easy when practicing, but during emergencies, are hard, as it seems like the heli is not in the right place to pull it off...at least for me, when inverted 2 feet from the ground! Good question. Thanks!
Throttle curve Normal= 0, 25, 50, 75, 100. 3d-Throttle= 95,95,95,95,95 Pitch Curve Normal =0,25,50,75,100. 3D Pitch=0,25,50,75,100. This is what I have on my Vintage Raptor. See my video. ua-cam.com/video/vKrL_jNgTBA/v-deo.html This is a Nitro Heli. Good luck and happy flying.
@@squidreuel Yes, most people had trouble trying to learn back then. I learned to fly before there were gyros, so know the feeling. Once set up, they flew great. It also helped to have just one person that knew how to fly, set it up and trim it, plus explain how and why they work.
I use header tanks for years, but his helicopter has a soft inner clunk with very flexible surgical tubing and easily falls to the "top" of the tank when inverted. Not to worry. Thanks.
Yes, I do too. I had quite a few with scale bodies in the past. They still make some, but full scale helis are becoming rare. Check out my Hughes 300 from about 20 years ago. I had a Weedeater Gas engine in it. ua-cam.com/video/OnVzG4jWFU0/v-deo.html
@@NightFlyyer I think I probably have seen all your videos and they are great! Although I have stopped flying for almost 10 years I have been flying model helicopters for 25 years and still have an Xcell 30, a Kyosho Nexus 30S (wich was gave to me by a friend) , a TT Raptor 90 and an Trex 450, witch is my most modern helicopter. I did have a Raptor 50 in an MD530 fuse, it was beautiful, so beautiful that I ended been affraid of crashing it, so I sold it. I did have a lot of helicopters like Hirobo Shuttle Z (I miss this one a lot!), Kalt Enforcer, Xcell's 30/46/60, Nexus 30 and 46, and TT Raptor 30/50/90. The Xcell 30 and Nexus that I have are still in no flying condition, the Xcell will be probably fixed soon because it only need some attention after being grounded for about 10 years, but the Nexus need a few tail rotor parts that will be difficult to find. The R90 is flying wonderfully but I am worried about parts shortage too and probably will be looking to retire it soon. Of course it will be flown now and then but will keep it (and the others too) safe as much as I can, but I still don't know what to buy because all those new helicopters almost doesn't look like helicopters anymore. I consider myself as a "nitro guy" but it's being so difficult to buy fuel here in Brazil nowadays that I don't know if I'll not be switching to electrics. Best Regards!
@@PLISNO Yes, electrics are taking over. My favorite is the Nexus for nitro and Align t rex for electric. I can hover them perfectly inverted, so they make me look good. LOL. Thanks again.
Quit calling it vintage, the Concept 30 isn’t that old. You’re making me feel old. I remember those Gyros would eat batteries for breakfast and would be the limiting factor in flight times and I remember when solid state gyros came out that offered huge battery savings and all people did was complain about them.
Well, I won't stop calling good designs vintage. According to Websters, Vintage means well built or of a good lasting design, representing the high quality of a past time: not Old!
NightFlyyer ah, I was not aware of that. It is a fantastic design. As I get older I’m getting more and more sensitive to things that were awesome when I was younger only a few years back. I remember when your Kyosho tail rotorless helis first came out with glowing reviews from the RC magazines. It does not seem all that long ago.
NightFlyyer in that case I myself am working on two vintage helis myself such as a TRex 500e and an ESky Belt CP heli. It’s interesting that looking at the layout it does remind me a little of the old kyosho concept helis servo and bellcrank layout in a plastic or polymer frame.
Thanks. I have a bottle of vintage wine, that is only 10 years old to celebrate my Vintage Hyperfly. I flew it last year and made a video using a lipo instead. May fly it again soon. Be well.
Thanks Much.. Anything vintage, like wine only 10 years old, is a good thing. The Hyperfly was not for everybody, but I tried to make it for airplane fliers to get a taste of heli flying without having to learn to hover.
I used Pro 3D carbon blades on this one and Zeal 550 blades on a second one. Both had to be shortened at the tip to 21 inches and balanced, to prevent the blade from hitting the tail rotor. They work great, as you can see from the other videos I made. I also made these blades lighted on this heli. I have made several videos using this heli at night and daylight. Here was the first one. Enjoy and good luck. ua-cam.com/video/5RuBi4rXTTc/v-deo.html
@@jamesdenton4943 They are exactly 3.5 inches long, end to end, (slightly tapered at 1 inch wide at root and 7/8"at tip) and symmetrical. Almost any tail rotor blade will work that size.

Best way is heat the whole carb with a heat gun. The needle will easily come out. Screwing all the way in shuts off the fuel.

Yes. Just make them short enough to not hit the tail rotor and have fun. Thanks.
Hey I found a raptor class 30 v2 brand new. I don't know much about helis. Any advice on this journey? Should I run the old futaba radio it came with?
Wow do nice
Thanks very kindly!
Since you asked if we thought you got a good deal, what did you pay for it off Ebay? If it was in the video, I missed it. :)
$299 plus shipping, So I think that is a good deal compared to today's new Nitro Helis. Good question.
Not bad, especially if you got that vintage radio with it. I had a Futaba FM Conquest system ages ago, but the case was all black plastic.
how much for the rtf or a bind and fly version? Is 300 about right? im good with a plane and jet want a large heli for my first to help with orientation and inertia
hi, what tuned pipe is that? guessing it on an os 32? pretty big pipe, sounds nice... check out my LMH 110 vid if you like older small helis
I'm amazed that mechanical gyro still worked!
Yep, they worked pretty good, and since it was made by Futaba, that adds some reliability. It uses more battery though!

They can fly out of sight, and as far as the range of the radio, just like planes. If I made a video of it flying out of sight, It would crash, because if you can't see it, you can't fly it.

Hi Edwin. Thank you!

can this helicopter autorotate. is it true to say that main rotor blades that are heavier at the blade tip can autorotate better?
Yes, there is an Auto Rotation clutch. Heavier blades (these are weighted near the tips) carry more momentum and Auto rotate better. Auto rotates are easy when practicing, but during emergencies, are hard, as it seems like the heli is not in the right place to pull it off...at least for me, when inverted 2 feet from the ground!

@@NightFlyyer I think I probably have seen all your videos and they are great!
Although I have stopped flying for almost 10 years I have been flying model helicopters for 25 years and still have an Xcell 30, a Kyosho Nexus 30S (wich was gave to me by a friend) , a TT Raptor 90 and an Trex 450, witch is my most modern helicopter.
I did have a Raptor 50 in an MD530 fuse, it was beautiful, so beautiful that I ended been affraid of crashing it, so I sold it.
I did have a lot of helicopters like Hirobo Shuttle Z (I miss this one a lot!), Kalt Enforcer, Xcell's 30/46/60, Nexus 30 and 46, and TT Raptor 30/50/90.
The Xcell 30 and Nexus that I have are still in no flying condition, the Xcell will be probably fixed soon because it only need some attention after being grounded for about 10 years, but the Nexus need a few tail rotor parts that will be difficult to find.
The R90 is flying wonderfully but I am worried about parts shortage too and probably will be looking to retire it soon.
Of course it will be flown now and then but will keep it (and the others too) safe as much as I can, but I still don't know what to buy because all those new helicopters almost doesn't look like helicopters anymore.
I consider myself as a "nitro guy" but it's being so difficult to buy fuel here in Brazil nowadays that I don't know if I'll not be switching to electrics.
Best Regards!
@@PLISNO Yes, electrics are taking over. My favorite is the Nexus for nitro and Align t rex for electric. I can hover them perfectly inverted, so they make me look good. LOL. Thanks again.
Quit calling it vintage, the Concept 30 isn’t that old. You’re making me feel old. I remember those Gyros would eat batteries for breakfast and would be the limiting factor in flight times and I remember when solid state gyros came out that offered huge battery savings and all people did was complain about them.
Well, I won't stop calling good designs vintage. According to Websters, Vintage means well built or of a good lasting design, representing the high quality of a past time: not Old!
NightFlyyer ah, I was not aware of that. It is a fantastic design. As I get older I’m getting more and more sensitive to things that were awesome when I was younger only a few years back. I remember when your Kyosho tail rotorless helis first came out with glowing reviews from the RC magazines. It does not seem all that long ago.
NightFlyyer in that case I myself am working on two vintage helis myself such as a TRex 500e and an ESky Belt CP heli. It’s interesting that looking at the layout it does remind me a little of the old kyosho concept helis servo and bellcrank layout in a plastic or polymer frame.
Thanks. I have a bottle of vintage wine, that is only 10 years old to celebrate my Vintage Hyperfly. I flew it last year and made a video using a lipo instead. May fly it again soon. Be well.
Thanks Much.. Anything vintage, like wine only 10 years old, is a good thing. The Hyperfly was not for everybody, but I tried to make it for airplane fliers to get a taste of heli flying without having to learn to hover.
I'm in need of main blades anyone have any info ?
I used Pro 3D carbon blades on this one and Zeal 550 blades on a second one. Both had to be shortened at the tip to 21 inches and balanced, to prevent the blade from hitting the tail rotor. They work great, as you can see from the other videos I made. I also made these blades lighted on this heli. I have made several videos using this heli at night and daylight. Here was the first one. Enjoy and good luck. ua-cam.com/video/5RuBi4rXTTc/v-deo.html
Thanks
@@NightFlyyer do you know what size the tail blades are ?
@@jamesdenton4943 They are exactly 3.5 inches long, end to end, (slightly tapered at 1 inch wide at root and 7/8"at tip) and symmetrical. Almost any tail rotor blade will work that size.
You just cant' get away from those trains....can you.... :)
