@@ByGracethroughFaithEph.2.8 thanks. I admit I have been lazy and not practicing so need to get back to it. Blessings

Thank you so much I really appreciate the nice words. Take care!

@@jasonwhite6767 awesome. Love sharing videos as I always get good feedback. When it helps someone it makes my day :) I still struggle with orientations as well. Once you start doing more stuff you get greedy hehehe

Hi there. Thanks for watching. The sim I am using is called Heli-X and you can get it from www.heli-x.info/cms/

Thanks! I think there is a setting to make them more visible I will have to fiddle with it.

Thank you! I still struggle a lot in trying to move this to reality. I feel very confident on the sim but not on reality. I have to put a lot of work into that. I will try to keep improving my feel on the sim to mimic reality as much as possible so that muscle memory transfer is easier and hopefully gain confidence. I think I will install Rescue on all my helis though. Thanks again for watching and commenting!

Hi there. Sure. You can get it from www.heli-x.info/cms/register/ and pay via PayPal. It is 65 euros.

@@TheLufur yes that’s a good point. I tried VR to overcome that but I am using a PlayStation VR so I can’t get good resolution so ends up better on a regular monitor. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thanks I will try that. Not sure if I am doing some things on the radio and some on the sim but I will check. My hiatus of cold weather is quickly approaching so will start simming more.

This comment is helpful. Appreciate the info. Now I have a template for this sim👍

@@DaDuTchMan2357 Thanks for watching and commenting! Glad it helped. Will have a go at the sim again during cold weather season :)

@@mikedizzle5273 I do have the Mikado transmitter and use Vbar Neo. But I just had the Pro upgrade and not Rescue. Of course I regret that now.

Hi there thanks for watching and commenting. Yes to my knowledge AccuRC is dead. The development team just stopped working on it. I will probably use Heli-X this cold weather season instead. Thanks for the feedback. I will see how things go this simming season. Ended the season with a pretty bad crash so have to find a way to rekindle my passion.

@@ruimessias1302 although I have to admit I’m a bit bummed as well the crash didn’t make it on the frame I do get to keep what led up to it. Now I am thinking I might have run out of pitch + cyclic due to my changes to cyclic ring. Regardless it is a way to preserve the time it happened and how my progression was doing at the moment.

@@lamarw7757 as wide as a GoPro records, it still managed to get out of frame. I mostly film my own videos. If someone had helped me I would have been able to record. At least I was able to capture what led to it and the aftermath. Thanks for watching.

@@flyrightrc yes I know. Now to save up to fix it. Thanks I indeed was having a great time and trying new stuff. Btw sorry I missed the podcast recording I heard it was a great episode. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@toadiscoil Was a fun time.

@@flyrightrc It was until I crashed hehehe. I was actually trying something new on real life that I do a ton on the sim. Well it happens. I suspect actually it was a setup issue but will figure that out when I rebuild it.

@@toadiscoil I ment the podcast 😆 🤣.

@@flyrightrc oooooh ok 🤣🤣

I am the worst. I am a die-hard SAB fan. I do have a smaller 420 but I love how it flies and I feel the blades are discontinued and big part of how I like it. So I don't fly it as much. Plus the packs take ages to charge due to my setup. I know there are other cheaper options but I love my Goblins. I tore apart the 500 in like 10 minutes. But $500 to repair ouch!

@@toadiscoil dang man you can repair this Steam for less than 100 bucks I'm sure of it

@@LichaelMewisin all fairness this is a true 500 size. It runs a 4500mAh pack so it’s more expensive to crash. But yes I do believe the Steam must be cheaper than a comparable Goblin. Still I can’t help it I’m a lost cause fanboy

Just watched this and didn't realize thats you, the same Toadiscoil from Helifreak! Hello, I'm Frisbee99 on there and I believe you and I have chatted some ever since back in the early 230S days. That's a tough video to watch, such a beautiful bird. The worst part of the hobby!

@@stephenzysk9926 Yes that's me! I fondly remember that 230. Was a nice machine to learn with. Sold it with quite a bit of bling. Yes that crash did hurt quite a bit but that's the nature of the hobby and I think crashes are part of what keep the heli companies alive. Anyways now to plan out how to save up to fix it. Thanks for watching and commenting!

I know! I feel I lost orientation but I need to check the logs. I have a feeling a change I did could have something to do with it. But definitely I want to install Rescue on my helis. Thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it.

@@HeliShed not really. I just couldn’t get the orientation correct. I think I will install Rescue on my helis

@@toadiscoil always a good idea when perfecting this type of flying. Chin up pal - you'll get it. Good job!

@@HeliShed Thanks a lot I really appreciate the comment

Thank you! Yes it feels great to just let be able to let go. I did more tuning and this thing is like 95% where I want it

@@mikeisiah1091 thanks! But I’m far from the best of us. Still trying to figure out many things.

I'm far from the best of us two but we have to keep moving forward my friend

@@mikeisiah1091 I’ve seen your videos you handle yourself pretty good and have good helpful content. Thanks for the comment and for sure will keep trying. Cheers!

@@frisos3944 thanks. Yes it is a rekit

@@jeffames226 ugh well I was trying this new thing to piro while punching out. When I came out of it I lost orientation and down I went.

Ouch!

@@wassimmatta8390ouch indeed! Thanks for watching and commenting

@@Mrh168 thanks. It’s always hard to crash especially when it’s this bad. But I’ll rebuild it and get back to the air eventually.

@@toadiscoil yes please do.. Looking forward to the fix video's.

Thank you! Cheers!

@@mykel1969 thank you so much for the nice comment! Yes the 570 is flying so good and smooth very happy with it

@@josefmd cheap enough to just do dumb things with it 😁

Thank you! Still not quite happy. I should be able to fly backwards and try to start attempting at least half piro flips to transition but I don't feel confident. Will see how it goes. Need to keep up the fiddling and tuning. Take care buddy.

On the contrary. I appreciate you watching and commenting! I hope to keep progressing as soon as I can figure out my setup woes. Been at it for many years now.

@@jasonwong93 hi there thanks for watching and commenting. After the first crash the Heli survived no issues at all. But on the second one I am pretty sure I hit throttle hold but there must have been enough inertia because the blade grip arm got cut off. Also on disassembly I noticed the spindle was bent. They are inexpensive spares on this Heli but I crash it way too often. I thought I could piro inverted since I do it a lot on the sim but it got too small too fast. Live and learn. I will have to try everything except piro flips. I will try to do half piro flip transitions maybe that helps to build that muscle memory and confidence since to be able to see it properly I need to try piro flips on larger helis. Cheers!

@@toadiscoil Getting confidence is important. I had similar experience with you before and I just don’t try any moves without confidence on any of my helis. I also found that tuning the heli to be the same as SIM or the other way round will help build the confidence

@@jasonwong93 I have been struggling with that. I just cannot get my helis to feel even similar to the sim where I can do a lot of stuff. I am starting to feel a lot of stalled progress.

Thanks! I thought about this. I turned all comps off because they they didn't to be helping. But maybe what I need to do is to get the tail as solid as I can and then remove that extra kick with precomp. I thought I could solve it with I gain but didn't work. I will try upping the cyclic gain also. Thank you for commenting!

@@toadiscoil I think I gain would help to try keeping the tail in place a bit but it’s more like keeping the tail at consistent speed during piro. Collective precomp should be the main factor keeping the tail in place in pitch pump. You can try increasing the collective precomp until the tail is not moving. My M4 can be tuned to a way that the tail doesn’t move at all from full positive to full negative

@@jasonwong93 thanks! I have been playing a ton with several parameters.

Hey thank you for commenting Mike. I really appreciate the comment. Hope to keep flying this season and going to a few events. Take care!

Thank you my friend. I am partial to Xnova, but I have an Egodrift on the Raw KSE that a friend gifted to me. It runs great! But I think I will go Xnova again for my next heli, whenever I can figure out how to pay for the electronics hehehe. The Kraken sits pretty but empty on my shelf.

@toadiscoil Kraken is another Beautiful Heli from SAB! All my best to You, your Wife and your boys!

@@mikeisiah1091 hey Mike thank you! Appreciate it.

Awesome. I keep battling with setups I will try to take it out to the field again and try some more.

@@toadiscoil yeah I spent quite some time in dialing it in. I ended up lower the gyro gain to 35 for cycle, agility set to 60 and lower the rudder rate to 35

@@jgrc73 hey thanks a lot for watching and commenting. I am trying to work my way through settings to make it fly to my taste. Only problem is I fly Vcontrol so I have to carry two radios to the field if I want to fly the S1 so lately it has stayed home.

@@Cloudy_Flyer yes I don’t like that sound either. It’s getting better after a few more flights since they were in storage all cold weather season. Still probably needs a new belt and some bearings somewhere. But these things just keep on going and going without much maintenance. I’m not too good of a pilot so I don’t take them to the limit and I don’t put that many flights on them either. Since I’m saving to finish up a Raw KSE 700 and Kraken 700 it might take a while to go back and do big maintenance on the 500 and 570 which probably need it 😁

@@panoramicviolinist thank you!

Hi there! Thanks for watching. For AccuRC (note that development has stopped for it) you can get it from Steam store.steampowered.com/ but if you want Heli-X you can download it from www.heli-x.info/cms/ and finally if you want neXt you can get it from www.cgm-online.com/rc-flight-simulator/rc-flight-simulator_e.html so choose your favorite and download a demo, then you can choose to pay the full license price.

👍

Hi! I got it from www.heli-x.info/

Thank you so much!

Hi there. Yea I’ve been having some comments and I am thinking to upload a beginner video. About AccuRC yes all development is halted in it. Heli-X continues to be updated so it’s probably a better choice.

Oh no! Well it’s super easy and inexpensive I have liked that about this Heli a lot

Thank you!

Thank you! I really appreciate the comment.

Thank you! I really appreciate the comments. I also have a Goosky S1 and the idea is to try to start to move from simulator to reality with it. So far I have crashed it like 5 times or more and it's super inexpensive and easy to repair once you learn the ins and outs. But I keep struggling with getting the proper feel on the real life helicopters. I think I have advanced a lot on the sim but it's difficult to move it to reality. Will for sure keep sharing my journey through the hobby. The simulator has been key to learn at this point, though.

Si gracias. Se vuela muy bien ahí. Que bien oír de ti! Un saludo

Nice to see you have a positive experience. I think you need to have your collective management really at pro level to do hard 3D on this thing. But it works really well for all orientation practice. It is funny because I have broken many, many pieces of the S1 except the blade grips. They seem to be pretty good for me. I have broken the linkages, boom, tail fin, tail blade, anti-rotation, bent the spindle, but I have never needed to replace the blade grips. Oh I also killed a swashplate as it separated into two parts. I could pop it back up but was annoying to do it virtually every crash so I changed it, that was relatively expensive. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@toadiscoil Interesting. But if you take your blade grips off and take a spindle and insert it in there, apply a lateral pressure, then rotate the spindle, you will almost certainly feel a grittiness, meaning you have bad bearings. It doesn't take much to kill these tiny bearings. Then getting them out , good luck with that. Also have you checked for vibrations caused by your blade grips? I notice this a lot after a crash, I will change the main shaft and spindle, but still have vibrations. Then after changing the blade grips it's like new again.

Same comment about the bearings for the main shaft. I just got through rebuilding mine today as a matter of fact and replaced their main shaft bearings, new main shaft, new spindle, new blade grips, new spindle washers, new grease. Then had to replace the anti rotation guide and a servo because one of the mounts broke. That is pretty unusual for me though. Also put new main and tail blades even though it didn't need it. I figured I might as well have it as perfect as possible after changing all those other parts. Now there are absolutely no vibs. Flys lke new.

@@LichaelMewis I sometimes don't change the bearings on my big helis. I think actually in fact smaller helis will be more sensitive to vibration than big helis but sometimes I am not so careful with bearings during maintenance.

@@LichaelMewis Problem is I don't have a good baseline. One of the first things I tried was to do tic tocs and down it went. I increased rotation speed to suit my taste and also increased pitch to make it stop as I like. But I may have too much pitch now since last I tried to practice my half piro transition I pushed hard on the collective, bogged it and down it went. I have a lot of problems to try to get the feeling of my real helis like I like.

Bonjour. désolé mais je ne parle pas français, j'ai dû utiliser Google Translate. j'ai un PC de jeu qui fait parfaitement fonctionner ce simulateur. il possède un Ryzen 5 5600x, 18 Go de RAM, un disque dur NVME et une carte graphique nvidia 3050. je pense que la plupart des PC de jeu modernes devraient être capables de l'exécuter. la clé est probablement la carte graphique mais ils sont désormais revenus à de bons prix.

@@toadiscoil merci je débute depuis 2 mois sans simulateur la 3d Avec 1 xk 110s Mais se n’est pas facile je travaille la mise en dos et j’ai cassé l’axe de pied de pale Jatand de recevoir mes Sparts Merci pour votre aide Vous avez un sacré pc

@@antoniofrance8 merci. oui, je travaille dans l'informatique, j'ai donc assemblé l'ordinateur de mon fils et le mien. mais si vous n'avez pas de PC de jeu, vous pouvez vous procurer le simulateur neXt. il fonctionne sur des ordinateurs moins puissants. J'ai le Goosky S1 et c'est génial d'essayer de nouvelles manœuvres dessus car il est très peu coûteux à réparer. mais comme vous pouvez le voir, j'essaie d'utiliser beaucoup le simulateur. amusez-vous et continuez à vous entraîner !

@@toadiscoil next ok je savais pas Que il tourne sur moins puissant c’est super Après faut que le ressenti soit bon J’avais choisi heli x car la démo est vraiment pas mal et le temp est illimité Vous parle espagnol.? Je parle aussi espagnol si jamais sa vous arrange ?

@@antoniofrance8 si hablo español. Soy de Mexico. Prueba neXt y ve si te gusta. Heli-X me gusta mucho también por como se siente pero neXt también es bueno. Pero si tienes que pagar next porque el demo dura muy poco. También tengo un podcast se llama Skids Up. Tenía uno antes que era Full Pitch solo que no me acuerdo en cual pero tenemos una entrevista con el creador de Heli-X.

That is awesome. Glad you are enjoying it. I have crashed mine a ton hehehe

I’m used to flying a bit lower or else I have a hard time seeing the orientation of the Heli. That’s why I got the S1 to fly, crash and repair on the cheap. Thanks for the comment!
