saw your video for the first time today. the bigger the helicopter the more docile it is. i loved the way you talked about your heli as you were flying it. keep enjoying it.
@shannonkompsi9942 Yes, thats true! With bigger helis you have a bit more time to react, because the moves, flips, rolls are a happening bit slower! On the other hand as a still new pilot I am having sometimes in mind that a crash would be more costly and the damage would be bigger... Then I take my small M2 and fly more "free" and do the more crazy stuff I want to do. Smaller consequences for my purse if i fail! 😀 Thanks to God I have a sim now and I can "experiment" much more without any finacial consequences! Thanks for the nice words in your comment!
Yes it really is!! It is amazing that she is not a bit intimidating! She behaves so precise that you feel as the pilot that you have the full control. She does what you tell her to do. Not less, not more. No reason for fear, if you keep this baby in safe distance to yourself, others and animals!!
Thank You! I love flying very, very much! And the high grass really helps a lot. At least with my smaller and lighter helis! I hope will not have to find out soon how the M4 is doing in grass...
@@Benny-br7um Thank you! Yes, I feel already so good with this machine! I still want to get more feel for all reactions, for the more weight etc. before I do loops and flips and rolls. But I feel already after some few flights that I am flying better with the small M2 micros I know so well!
Very good! I can remember the first time build and setup my first collective pitch heli, the align 450 se with flybar! And the feeling is just simply amazing! I have the Omphobby M1 and the M2.
Thank you! It's a feeling I will never forget! Especially hearing the first time the sound of the rotor blades in faster circles with leanangles. I am flying as well the M2 and M1. That's how it all began. Happy flights!
@@reginaldmcnab3265 So you know what I mean!! The bigger, the better. Of course when the M2 is in a hurricane it sounds as well great. But not the same like a 400 bird!!
Thank you very much! I get to know this beauty better and better with every battery! I absolutely loev to fley her, and the sound of the rotor blades.... hmmm 😀😀🚁
@@RCCopterLove You're right, the M4 sounds incredible, its tone is distinctive. I'm also using EdgeTX and FrSky, but with Spirit GT flybarless. I started as a beginner in the nitro FM radio days, with a big gap before returning to the hobby. Wow, there is a lot to learn now. My M4 build is nearing completion and I definitely feel you with the fear comments. Real life flying hits differently from the simulator, especially when launching a new bird. I fly my M1 Evo in a public park so I'm always paranoid of dogwalkers and such entering the area. Happy flying ✌
@@beastehful Oh yes, the learning curve when setting up the M4 was steep! Radiomaster and Edge TX, FrSky RX, Brain 2 FBL... If my dear friend would not have helped me giving me many hours of his time, I would not have managed it. Learning to fly with the M1 and M2 was not easy... but at least a big pleasure and the learning will always go on! But this programming kills me :D I am just too stupid!! Happy flying!!
Hi Matthias, It is amazing to see how people react to their first flight with new hely. I am looking forward to make my maiden flight ever on Saturday this week. I am so excited!
Yes, You are right! It is so exiting. In my case it was so special because I have only flown small helis like the M1 and M2 before with direct drive motor tail! I never had a big belt driven heli!! I wish you a fantastic maiden flight on Saturday, great weather and a lot of fun besides the exitement!! All the best!!
Thank you Robert!! She is beautiful and flies even more beautiful! And the sound of these blades when flying circles with some bank angles!! Wow!! I would love to show you some day how great this bird is!! :)
Thank you! The M4 is my first bigger heli. Before I was flying only the M2 and the M1. It's a great model to get into the bigger birds! I am feeling more and more comfortable with it. Have fun ans safe flights!
Thanks Ray!! I guess you would love the M4 as well! The motor is so quiet at 1800 rpm and at the same time so powerful! Anf the sound of the main rotorblades in leanangles! Wow, I love it! 10 minutes flighttime with 3,86 volt per cell... It's really a loong time!! :)
Thank You Ruben! Without my friend Matthias I would not have managed it alone. Edge TX, Brain 2, FrSky Receiver... matching that all togehter was tough! He helped me and gave me so much of his precous time!! To the headspeed: I love the silnence of low RPM. :)
@@RCCopterLove it's amazing how well it flies for 1800 rpm. I fly my 580 with almost 20cm exta per blade on 2000rpm. You'll be amazed of how fast bigger heli's are (especially on higher headspeed)
@@RubenRC94 I have tried her meanwhile in idle up 2, where I am using 2100 rpm and a have experienced the difference in fast reaction on collective pitch... and the speed!! But I will give myself time to get th know the beahviour of this machine much better! Please remeber that I am only flying a little bit more than 2 years!! Best greetings!!
@@RCCopterLove om sure you can feel de difference well. Even though you're only flying for 2 years you probably have more hours in it than me in my 10+ years 😉. Enjoy the heli!
@@RubenRC94 I was counting my flights in my Calendar: Soon I will reach the flight 10.000!! Average flight time 4 minutes. So 40.000 minutes in the sticks now!! I just love and and am the happiest when I am flying every single day on my close field!! Always Safe flights, Ruben!!
That looks awesome 👌 really happy for you buddy. Safe and happy flying 👍🏻 oh and thank you for your input on my m1 evo you gave its truly much appreciated thank you 😊
Thanks for sharinmg my happiness!! You are very welcome regarding help and advises for your M1 Evo!! Feel free to cnatact me! I received so much help from my friend Matthias and other very experienced pilots! I would really love to give back as much as I can! :🙂
good job flies great just got an m1 evo to practice on hopefully will be getting one in the future my first build was a 450 pro and the feeling of seeing it in the air was a great feeling but i still have a lot to learn happy flying
Thank you Andy! It was a gret journey to first build this machine. My first ever kit. So far I was just buying M1's and M2's, opening the foambox, binding them to the TX and that was it! It was making me proud when this beauty was standing ready in front of me. I thought: I built it n my own, with my own hands! That made me proud. The setup and electronics I got done only with a lot of help (online!!). But when I have seen her the first time in the air I was happy like crazy!! And now every day I get to know her better and better. But I want to know her like my pocket (or better say my M2's) before I do more crazy stuff!! Happy flying! The learning will never end!!
NICE. AND IT IS BETTER THAT YOU MADE THIS. NICE BUILT I HOPE TO SEE MORE BIG AND MORE COMPLICATED FLYING MACHINES IN THE FUTURE FROM YOU. AND ALSO DO SOME ARRANGEMENT OF ON BORD CAMERA.
Thank you so much! It was a pleasure to build this Kit! Not one single problem although it was my very first kit!! The set up was difficult, but I received great help from a friend who spent many hours helping me online!! That was so great to experience so much solidarization!!
I am already thinking of where to mount my RunCam Orange so that she does not intefere aerodynamically and does not cause any safety issues! Yes, onboard flightfootag would be fantastic!!
@@A-ZEE. Thanks for the great motivation! This is my very first UA-cam channel, the video about my very first kit build! So I appreciate your encouraging words very much!! All the best for you!!
Looks like that M4 flies like a dream! Can you maybe give me some advice? I started flying a micro heli (xk k110s) a few weeks ago and i love it. For now comfortably flying tail in and nose in and practicing side orientations. I’m crashing less and less. When i can fly all orientations, i want to buy a bigger heli. I was thinking about the m2 until i saw your video. The m4 looks more controllable than the m2. Is that so? In the simulator i really like the bigger heli’s. Should i go directly to the m4? Or is the m2 a better option, coming from the micro heli?
Hi! When I am completely honest I think going directely for an M4 would be a step too big. I think the M2 EVO will be a better step on the way to an M4. The M2 is unbelievable durable and crash resistant. If you fly over higher grass chances are very high that you dont have any damage if you crash not too hard. It weights just 335 grams. The M4 weights about 1350 grams and just this weight means that there will be damage if you build it. Also binding a RTF (ready to fly) M2 to the transmitter is much, much easier than the buliding the M4, setting up a flybarless... As you have seen in my build video this was a challenge for me. I would recommend you to go for a M2 EVO first. I love this heli and the performance is just amazing. And if you feel really comfortable with this heli, get used to the speed and power then it will be time for the M4. But better dont rush. Have fun and great progress!!
@@frisos3944 Thats another important and good point! To fly with the M4 in a safe way you need a bigger space without people and dogs or other animals... this machine attracts more attention than micros. And the first spoolup with the M4 made some real impression on me... I felt the power of the motor, the sound of rotor blades. Take your time and go step by step. It will be more rewarding and less frustrating. Safe flights!!
@nxtgen2b416 To be honest so far I built only two helis with belt drive. It's not the easiest job to get the belt with the excact right amount of twist through the tailboom, the camps in the frame and on the belt pulley. But once it's done it worked flawlessly. I have many of hundrets of flights on my M4 now and never had a problem. As the belts seem to last a long time its a good solution for me. I have seen some crash videos here on youtube when torque tubes were breaking or had mailfunctions... What is your personal preference?
Hello greetings from Wales I am thinking of building this machine and I wondered what flight controller you used in it ? I have the M2 and its the only Heli I did not crash .Thanks
@johnblyth6453 Hi Johnny! I am using the MSH Brain 2 Flybarless in my M4 and this one, the M4 Max! I was a complete beginner to kits and had no experience and with the help of a fellow pilot I managed to understand this system. It's not overcomplicated, especially the software for the laptop to setup the heli. I never had a problem with it and for my flying style, sports flying with elements of 3D acrobatics it works great! Hope this helps and best greetings from Katowice Poland to Wales!! Happy flights!!
@@RCCopterLove Thank you so much i was thinking of the Spektrum FC6250HX flight controller as it has a android set-up so all can be done from the transmitter I have a NX8 .
@@johnblythe6453 If you are experienced with Spektrum and already have an NX8, this would probably be the best idea! For me everyting was new: I am flying with a Radiomaster TX12 mkII on Edge TX (still learning) so I have chosen the Brain 2. I wish you the best choice for you and later a lot of fun with this great heli!! All the very best!!
Edit: When I finished the setup of this machine without main and tailblades I was mounting one of the tail blades the wrong way. So one tail blade was mounted in the right direction, the second "backwards". 😮 I got warned by someone who knows this machine very well: Jonas Wackershauser. He immedeately send me a message. 👍 I am still amazed that she was still flying so well!! I changed it right away and was flying with the right directions of both tail blades and she flies even much, much better. The tail reacts so precise now!! What a machine if even an Idiot like me cannot disturbe the performance with his faults!!
Sorry that I answer in english! Yes, I am flying with low headspeed, and thats why I reach such a long flighttime. I could fly even longer, because I have more than 30 % power left, but my brain does not manage longer than 10 minutes. Concentration is finished! :D
