Great save! Still have my two original Oxy 3 V1 birds from '15. One with Zeal 250-mm blades, iKON 1, KST cyclics, and MKS HV93i tail, running 3S. Other one with Zeal 255-mm, BeastX, running 6S version of Lynx motor. Never stretched them. I worry that original V1 parts are no longer available, lol.
They are a great heli! It was my favorite heli ever made at the time. I still enjoy it! On your 6s version, what ESC are you running? I love it stretched!
@@Willybrordus unfortunately OXY is no longer making helicopters which is why you have seen them fade away lately. They made some great models! I was told the owner of Oxy got really sick and that is the reason for them going away.
Nice save! I definitely heard a weird sound when you hit idle up before it happened. The oxy 3 will always be awesome. It's my favorite micro. Keep up the great videos 🚁💨💯
Thank you! Yeah I think tail belt was a tad lose and had vibration but I also thing there was Loctite used on the plastic servo mounts. It’s a awesome Heli! I flew the crap out of this thing years ago!
Small world, that's my first Helicopter. Just to prove it, it has a custom built adapter for the micro-Ikon to use regular servo connectors. The motor is only rated for 3S.
Dude, nice SAVE; that was some gutsy flying there. Although, I would be a little worried about flying it again for fear of there being potentially a whole batch of bad or defective tail servo mounts like that one.
Thank you! This heli has been flying for many years now. I didn’t build it, I bought it built and flying 5ish years ago and sold it a few years ago and just bought it back. I have a feeling loctite was used and the servo mount broke from the loctite breaking it down. I got a new set of servo mounts I’m going to toss on and try.
Congratulations on getting your Oxy back and thankfully the Servo Mount broke! You still keep your 100% Rating up Jeff! I hope that you and your Family had a very Happy Thanksgiving yesterday!
Nice save!! Doubt i would've reacted quick enough. I've had an oxy 3 for years. It's the most smooth, least vibration of any heli I've ever flown. I have that same orange canopy but also have a really cool green Canomod canopy. I had the same zeal blades as you have, but green, and I can't find them anymore. Do you know where you can find those?
@@mboyer68 Thank you! You definitely need to react quickly! The OXY 3 is an awesome little heli. Such a shame OXY is no longer going to make kits and parts. What’s left is left. Unfortunately Zeal is no longer made. So you can not find any Zeal blades new. The switch 283 are a great option just not as colorful.
It’s the standard OXY 3 boom but the “stretch” one. It’s made for 285mm main blades. Just a longer regular boom. They use to sell the kit. Came with boom,belt and tail push rod.
@@edmaxter1682 they are two different models for sure. The Goosky S2 is much smaller but has tons of power and very fast. The OXY 3 is larger and not as powerful but fly’s big and fun.
Man that’s a hard one because I love the OXY 3 as I learned a lot of it but it’s old (now) and has older electronics and 4s so not a ton of power. But the 470 has a ton of power and moves quickly. I think if I updated the OXY 3 (witch I plan to do) it would out perform the 470 all day. I did just pick up a OXY 5 Mega!
Oh wow nice save. Ive only been flying a little over a year I thought if you lost the tail you were kinda screwed didnt know it would stop spinning like that when you hit hold.
Thank you! Yes you can fly with out the tail servo. So the tail starts spinning like crazy because of the torque. Hitting hold mode will Eliminate that work and because the table blades are still it acts like a wing and will keep the Heli in a very slow piro or just straight. It takes some learning as you need to know how to fly a pirouette.

@@orbitalgolem91 awesome! I’ve got a Castle 35 in this one. I wonder if it I can just swap motors for 6s. It definitely needs more power!
I love that OXY3 since years.
Unfortunately, they don't sell them no more, nowhere.
Do I regret I never bought one!
Greetings from Belgium!

Beautiful model, and what a great save. Best regards from Brasilia, Brazil.
Thank you! I appreciate it, thanks for watching!
Awesome save, definately a true expert !!!
Thank you! I appreciate it!
@@westhobbiesrc8051 you are an expert brother ! 👍🏻
@@melvinw.quinene841 thank you! I appreciate it!
What a save. That was close

Thank you! I need to fix the tail servo mounts and fly it again!
Small world, that's my first Helicopter. Just to prove it, it has a custom built adapter for the micro-Ikon to use regular servo connectors. The motor is only rated for 3S.
Yes it does! I bought it from (I think) about 5 years ago or so in SFL. The KV is low enough for 4s. 3s is good but needs a lot more power lol
Was built to be my first helicopter trainer and was great for that. For 3D it needs a Xnova 2216-4100 for 4S.
@@asul996 4100kv is for 3s, it’s 3400kv or right around there so 4s is perfect.
I love my Oxy2 might get a stretched Oxy3 next year, the size looks perfect for me
Never had a OXY 2 but love the OXY 3! Stretched is perfect! 285mm blades and it feels great in the air!
Good recovery, good flying!
Thank you! I appreciate it!
Always wanted one when they first came out years ago.
It’s a great little Heli! Flys very solid and feels like a big Heli in the air!
I have always regretted to sell my Oxy 3 Tareq Edition way back when. I miss it to this day. Even though I am a Goblin fanboy I wish I had that still.
I would really love the Three blade OXY 3! It’s a fun little Heli! I love my Fireball but I think the OXY 3 flys lighter.
Dude, nice SAVE; that was some gutsy flying there. Although, I would be a little worried about flying it again for fear of there being potentially a whole batch of bad or defective tail servo mounts like that one.

Thank you Larry! It was great to buy it back! Some upgrades coming soon! I hope you and your family had a great thanksgiving as well!
Great save! Awesome model 💯
Thank you!!
I have one that needs to get in the air. This just may push me over and get it done
Yes you do! Such a great Heli! Perfect little size!
Seriously great save!
Thank you! I appreciate it!
I miss my oxy 3 and 4max! Gonna get a max soon to fill the void😉
Awesome! I really want a OXY 5 now lol love the OXY 3 but the OXY 5 looks so good!
@@westhobbiesrc8051 I had two oxy 5’s one was a 550 and the other was a Meg, 610. You can’t go wrong with an oxy!
Nice auto down

Oxy has a metal tail servo holder as upgrade...
Yes they do, I believe the screws were put in with Loctite. So we will see, I’m going to replace the aero mounts with the plastic and see.
You said you stretch the tail. Can you tell us how you did this. Did you put the 4 tail boom on it ?
It’s the standard OXY 3 boom but the “stretch” one. It’s made for 285mm main blades. Just a longer regular boom. They use to sell the kit. Came with boom,belt and tail push rod.

Poderia fazer um comparativo oxy 3 vs goosky s2 ?

@@westhobbiesrc8051 obigado to na duvida ente os dois . eu tenho o eachine e150 queria subir de classe
One question, which one do you prefer the oxy 3 or the t rex 470?
😅

Man that’s a hard one because I love the OXY 3 as I learned a lot of it but it’s old (now) and has older electronics and 4s so not a ton of power. But the 470 has a ton of power and moves quickly. I think if I updated the OXY 3 (witch I plan to do) it would out perform the 470 all day. I did just pick up a OXY 5 Mega!
Btw how big is it? Is it as big as the fireball?
As it is, it’s a 285mm main blade. It’s a tiny bit bigger then the fireball.
Might look for a used tareq edition one
You will love it.
I would love to get a three blade OXY 3 or at least the Cube head and tail!
Super, respect
Thank you very much!
Oh wow nice save. Ive only been flying a little over a year I thought if you lost the tail you were kinda screwed didnt know it would stop spinning like that when you hit hold.

good save, could've ended up much worse.
Definitely could of been a lot worse!
I want mine back
You had a OXY 3?
Oxy3? When did you get it lol. Congrats tho beautiful model
Yeah buddy! OXY 3! I bought it back about 2-3 weeks ago. Thank you!
Dang this one is orange too lol
