The reason for the short line is so you can see it in your peripheral vision. I have tried a long line and it takes a bigger pool/lake to get the bucket in. NOT undoable, but so hard it’s not fun.
@@geovaniboothe1992 the motor detonated. Thank god it was only a few feet off the ground. Broke the mounts for the gear and maybe a hole in the bottom. Was fine shortly there after
Hey man, I generaly like black hawks and this one is amazing. One question, did u make it yourself or you bought it from somewhere! Hoping for you to see this
This is the Roban 700 size super scale. My only gripe is the tail wheel is too thin, and the wrong angle, and where the strut attaches is completely wrong. Lots of things wrong with the tail landing gear. But it’s not my heli any more.
All mine come as fiberglass kits or kits that are close to being done and just need to be put together and or modified to my liking…. To build from scratch, first you make a plug, and that varies in technique, then you make a mold to create a negative of the plug, which is used to pull a fiberglass shell from. Then you build in wood work to hold your mechanics. It’s a lot of work, but sometimes that’s what it takes to get exactly what you want.
@@JestRR Iv got a question. Iv got a little collective pitch copter that is deffnetly over my head as a beginer but i was hovering it around and doing ok. My question is, why when I am on the ground and the rotor is going does it tip sideways and the blades strike the ground? Its just cost me a little gear iv gota get and i wasnt really moving the sticks. I can't figure it out or really keep it from happening. also happends when flying on the simulator a lot! Thanks, Matt
@@excellenceinanimation960 what you are trying to do is balance the heli on a ball. It’s constantly trying to fall off. To keep it from tipping over while you’re learning to fly, get some small wooden sticks and some ping-pong balls or wiffleball‘s and strap onto the skids so that when it ships over it won’t completely fall over.
@@excellenceinanimation960 could be….but more than likely it’s just the skids grabbing the ground and tipping the heli. It’s called dynamic rollover. This is what the sticks will help prevent!
Wow the landing gear should be able to absorb that much of a drop, thats ridiculous. Needs a better design. At least it wasn’t a total loss. I’m flying 3D helis and I really want to start flying scale. Oh well have fun.
Dude, the video of the Helo looked pretty cool after the camera got knocked over, hopefully the camera didn't break. What is the point of carrying the orange thing for (I fly fixed wing) I was surprised that the wheel strut broke dropping from that relatively low height, but I guess all the weight coming down on it was pretty substantial. Nice helo and flying technique by the way.
That’s a Bambi bucket for Fire Fighting. That heli is over 22 lbs so it was like dropping it from a standing position. Not much will hold up to that anyway…thanks for the compliments!!
Nice heli :) But please use quality electronics and you wont have issues like this. Egodrift or xnova motor, hobbywing v4 or YGE speed controller. Also that castle bec pro is.... well i would not trust it even on a cheap 450 heli. On the long run its always cgeaper to use quality parts. Now i want to build a scale heli too :D
I don’t use those motors or ESC’s that you are talking about because this heli set up was supplied by RC AERODYNE. They may work for you and that’s great. I’ll stick to what I know works for me.
@@JestRR i understand, but according to the video, this setup is not working for you either. Anyway, nice heli, the most important is enjoy what you do :)
@@tamasgiczi everything usually works….right up until the time it doesn’t. These damn thing can shit the bed at anytime. All we can do is mitigate a failure. All in all, the crash wasn’t that bad. New motor, re glue the landing gear mount wood and I was back flying the next day!! With tons of flights up until now!! Probably going to explode next time I run it just cause all the sudden we are talking about it!! Just hope I catch it on video!!!
I like the idea of building choppers from scratch and I want to try to but idk how to start. Iv got a bicopter in the works and I hope to make a tutorial and build Gide along with plans.
@@jdsstegman the 700mm blades that came with it. But if you don’t have blades, any 3D blade will work better than these. Might even be able to get bigger ones….
@@jdsstegman have done that several times! 3D symmetrical blades fly much smoother for scale ships. And they are readily available! Have serval scalers with them. Just paint them up like the full size then balance them….
@@JestRR I more meant it in a sense where this damage is very forgivable there’s this other dude on UA-cam with a Roban Huey 800 size dude crashed into a pole and it’s clearly a complete write off
Wow 😮😊😊 hes got the bambe bucket on there outstanding great job 👍👍👍 you need the longer line on there 😊😊😊 it's to short .

Mike I think the issue was you didn’t have any pilots up front flying!
Dude your personality 😂😂😂awesome
Was it one of the mounting screws was too long?
How many flights do you have on it and what size is it? For the motor to just go is crazy
I had had it for a few years, maybe 50 flights. And Yes it was a short lived life of the motor. Kinda cheap too
Hey this is a 700 size ? And do they make a 800 in the black hawk?
It was and no, they just make this one.
@@JestRR was ? What happened the crash wasn’t that bad it came straight down not even propeller or gear damage

Blackhawk Done! We have a Blackhawk Down!

Good morning,
Out of curiosity do you happen to know of a shop selling UH-60 spare parts? We are in the search for a main module.
Thank you
No, sorry. might try Motion RC
How do you build choppers like this? I can’t find tutorials or anything.

@@JestRR ok. Sounds good. It doesn’t feel like Iv got much control when I’m on the ground tho. And the blades still dip. Is this just user error?

Nice helicopter
What head speed are you running?
I think I fly this one at 1250….about the same for all my 4 bladed Roban’s
@@JestRR
Thanks for your reply. I'm building one now and didn't know what speed to run.
Also, who's blades are you running?
@@jdsstegman the 700mm blades that came with it. But if you don’t have blades, any 3D blade will work better than these. Might even be able to get bigger ones….
@@JestRR thanks for the info. I tried a set of plastic scale blade but they flex too much and flare up. So yeah, just 3d blades.

I am going to blame it on the pager 😂 I am a first responder
HA HAA HAAAAA!!! Ain’t that the truth!!! Stupid pagers and people with their emergencies!!!🤣😅🤪
It’s because you have a PaveHawk performing a Bambi Bucket mission. Hahahahaha.
I know it doesnt help....but Had you been higher would have completely destroyed the bird!!!!!!
I might have been able to auto it in if it were really high!! 50/50 shot!
Best crash I’ve ever seen
Obviously you haven’t seen my MD600N Notar crash!!
