3D Helicopter Demo by Dave Herbert (NightFlyyer) plus an “Orientation TEST” for you.

3D Helicopter Demo by Dave Herbert (NightFlyyer) plus an “Orientation TEST” for you.

*Heli 3D TEST. If you can follow my mild 3D flight and can tell exactly what I am doing the entire time with the transmitter sticks, then you are probably ready for 3D helicopters. At this point the learning process will begin again! Watching others fly helps me, so maybe this will help you. That is my goal.....to help so you don't learn the hard way like I did. Yes the sun does shine here in Iowa sometimes and the first flight today was that way, but the second was a bit windy and cloudy. Hmmm..back to normal! We have to learn to fly in the wind here, or we would never get to fly at all, and with these OLD EYES it is nice to have some sun shining on the model so a guy can see it.....especially without his orange pontoons! LOL. Remember "If it sounds stupid but it works, it ain't stupid!" Thanks for watching, subscribing, and all your continued support.

Could Albuquerque city buses and the Rail Runner be the next modes of transportation for high school students to get to school? One APS board member wants the district to consider that possibility, but parents have mixed feelings about it. APS School Board member Lorenzo Garcia wants APS to consider forming a partnership with the Rail Runner and the city to expand transportation options for high school students in the future. Garcia says APS may soon require all of its school bus contractors to pay for additional insurance to increase protection in the event of an accident. "A number of bus companies are saying they don't want to do this and my understanding is we really do need to have this in place in order to provide transportation," says Garcia. The President of Beal School Bus Company, one of APS' 16 bus contractors, says he does not like Garcia's idea because it relieves APS of liability with its students. An official with Albert Sanchez Bus Company says they already pay for general liability insurance, something APS may soon require of its bus contractors, and says they don't see it as a safety issue for students.

@brangyrc411 well this just happen to me the other day trying to learn to hover, lol. But there are a few things i can think of, first is your swash plate settings in your Tx like in my DX6i has two settings 90deg or 120 CCPM make sure it is set to 120 CCPM. The next thing is then servo direction of travel and interaction, after that is your swash plate leveling and finally is your sub trim during flight. Some of these can go into a fair bit more detail, way to much to fit on here.

@yowie1987 so I fixed the hard right thing and I went out to test it and now when I bring it up to a
high rpm again it rolls hard to the left and so that makes me have to kill the throttle and the one
time it fell over and I cracked the blades any suggestions

That piece of deserted roadway, with a highway behind it, is reminiscent of Old 66, like here in Central OK. For a minute there Dave, I thought you were gunna try &Trick-Fly that Copter into the open-backside of your vehicle, and exit Out the Side of it…

Love Your U.P. Steam Loco Vid too.

@brangyrc411 this happened to me a while ago on my blade 400 after i changed all my servos to align and fitted with the Castle Phoenix Ice 50. I think it turned out that the gyro or settings on the rudder channel had to be reversed i can’t remember if it was one or both.

hi dave I crashed my b-400 a wile ago and I got it all fixed and good too go again but when the blades get to a high rpm and I bring it up a little it just starts to spin out and with a closer look. The tail roter just goes hard right and and makes it spin out and I have no clue what is wrong. have any idea what is wrong please reply

NICE, I wish they had a helicopter theory class when I was in school! Well, the helicopter wasn’t invented yet but Leonardo had a theory.
