HELI'S AND SPEED
มุมมอง 36921 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
Well no flying in the UK this weekend, so I thought I would make one of my complilations!! Called Heli's and speed,I have enjoyed recently putting some fast passes to music during my videos,I find my choice of music is often fast and frantic,as that's how I feel during this fast pass flying.
TREX 470lp SAVES THE DAY
มุมมอง 18114 วันที่ผ่านมา
Well not the video I had planned for today, as I was going to fly the Goosky RS4, but during a set up flight with a new flight controler I crashed, unfortunately I wasn't being filmed as the light was quite bad, I was waiting for it to get light before filming!! From experience in this hobby, I know the best thing to do after a crash Is get on with it and fly!! So that's why the video is titled...
IS THE MARLIN FIXED ARROWS HOBBY MARLIN 64mm EDF
มุมมอง 24821 วันที่ผ่านมา
Yes the last time I flew the Arrows Hobby Marlin, It was really playing up!! It was cutting out and loosing power!! I wasn't sure if it was the ESC or the receiver, but something was up!! So had a close look and found a load of grass clippings clogging up the EDF unit, so cleaned her out and gave her a check over and here goes.

Yes my best winter rc plane, flies great,robust,reliable and fills me with confidence!! The Turbo Timber is such a fabulous rc model plane, a bit of a test on 3s and then a bit of fun.
A BRACE OF HELIE'S
มุมมอง 11128 วันที่ผ่านมา
Yes flying a couple of helie's this weekend,and if i'm honest it was just a little bit to windy by the time I flew the Goosky RS4, with gusts reaching over 15mph!! However the little Blade flew as great as always, and put a smile on my face.

TURBO TIMBER EVOLUTION WHY ALL THE FUSS
I like this trip down memory lane, nice story’s behind the Heli’s and Planes. 🫡
Thank you Chris 😀👍
That was a nice watch Ian,it's nice to look back and remember 👍😎
Yes it sure is Bob 😀👍
Nice upload Ian😃. I love you're hangar! Also nice shirt you are wearing👌😃
Thanks Adnan 😀👍
They were all very nice flights, I especially liked the Spitfire! I wish I could show you when I got my own Discovery to stay in the air. It was exciting and immediately afterwards I was worried about how to land on this. Nice to see memories like this. 🌝
Thank you for watching and commenting 😀👍
I enjoyed that, Ian! Your journey to the Spitfire was pretty much exactly my own, and your videos gave me the confidence back in 2018 to at least buy the Spitfire as an aspirational target to achieve. Please do another video like this! 👍
Aww thanks Gina, it's great to know that our journeys are similar in the RC game!! Thank you for such a nice message!! If I don't get any more messages, at least your one message made the mornings work worth while 😀👍
Great compilation of helicopters Ian, very fast, great flying....jeff.
Thanks Jeff, hope you're feeling better 😀👍
@@IansRCExploits Thanks Ian, not a 100% but getting there.
Hi Ian … what a great compilation…. The speed of the heli’s is amazing … I think many are as fast as fixed wing planes !!! And as others have said, great filming by Cheryl…. Thanks .. Michael
Thanks Michael, yes they are quick and sometimes scary 😀👍
Awesome speed runs I like seeing the difference between the goosky, align, and 330. I do love the sound of the 500x best. in the runs. the sound is amazin, they are quick.
Thanks Jason, to be honest I love them all Lol but the Goosky RS4 is deceptively quick 😀👍
Very cool Ian! Freaking quick helis!
Thanks Adam 😀👍
Zipstar 1....
Thanks Airhammer 😀👍
On take off it goes to the right I can't even take off
Sorry to hear you're having issues with your 330s Carlos, it can be a problematic heli, I will put a link to my playist with all the issues I had with the heli and how I got mine to fly better!! It has helped people, unless they have the ready to fly version, without a programmable transmitter, a word of caution though this is hiw I was able to sort my heli out!! There's no guarantee it will work on other heli's 👍 th-cam.com/play/PLDCas2NfR4SHPbwdutV7dkd5kBkL0-S0O.html&si=tmrxsqpMHNl_O1j9
RS4 looked the fastest Ian but love the looks of the 470LP. All flown really well though Ian you must have nerves of steel. I think Helis have a slight edge over FW bur I love both. Great video 😎👏👏
Thanks, yes the RS4 shifts!! I also love the 470lp but then I do like the Trex Heli's!! Thanks for watching and commenting 😀👍
Ian great Chopper ripping, Cheryl fantastic job on the video. Zoom zoom zoom Jeff in LA USA
Thanks Jeff 😀👍
Wow!😮
Thanks RandyB 😀👍
Speed devil😅
Yes I'm a hooligan Lol
Very nice Ian😅 that 500E looks stunning. Looks better than the 500x in my eyes. Also the 470, beautiful machine. The RS4 is really fast😀. Nice you also edit the 330S, she is having a special place in my heart
I love both the 500's Adnan, they fly so well, thanks for watching and commenting 😀👍
Ian, It's always a treat when you bring out the Trex 470LP!
Yes I forgot how nice it is to fly, thanks for watching and commenting Gaandahl 😀👍
Some great Helis Ian, how fly those things so fast i will never know 😮.
Me neither Chris 🤣😂👍
Great flying in misty conditions Ian, nice touch and goes and landings, a great bush plane....jeff.
Thanks Jeff, you ok, you haven't posted for a while!! Hope everything is good with you 😀👍
@IansRCExploits Cheers Ian, I had covid for 2 weeks, alot better now, thankyou...jeff
Aww no, I was wondering where you were!! Glad your all better 😀👍
Great compilation Ian, you can really push those suckers (or it it blowers!) through the sky, brilliant 😁
Thanks Cliff 😀👍
She sounds like a real turbine, very nice!
Thanks Adnan 😀👍
Some speed😂 i like it
It's a great Heli Adnan 😀👍
Well Ian, what a bummer. You will get her fixed up. The 470 is a lovely machine, i still like the looks 😊. Good that you brought a second heli. At least you could shake the bad feeling away wwith the 470. Not sure what is wrong 2ith the RS4. We can compare the tail section with mine if you want, maybe we can find something. Have a good day both of you, cheers
Yes I'll get it sorted I'm sure Adnan 😀👍
Ian, sad news on the goosky, 470 looks fantastic in the air.
I do love the 470 Jason, it flies great 😀👍
Hi Ian … really sorry to hear about the Gosky …. I am sure you will get it back to as new … But looking at your flying with the Trex you would never no !! Brilliant flying and still love that heli sound track !!! Thanks .. Michael
I was annoyed more than anything else, Michael!! But it happens from time to time, thanks for watching and commenting 😀👍
Hi Ian, If you're having issues with the tail across two different flybarless units, that suggests mechnical set-up to blame rather than an issue with either unit right? My RS4 venom's tail was a bit loose until I adjusted the tail pitch at tail servo midpoint.
The problem I've had with the RS4 is that it's fine in attitude control, but in any other mode, it vibrates terrible!! I know how to mechanically set a Heli tail up with 2 degrees of pitch, but I don't understand how it can fly perfectly in attitude mode!! But switch that off, and the tail goes crazy even after altering the Gyro tail gain.
I'm thinking maybe it's the belt tension or even the tail rotor shaft 👍
Dang Ian sorry to hear of your crash, but way to get back on the horse! Nice flight with the TRex.
Ahh these things happen as you know Adam, I felt it was the right thing to do!! Get right back to it 😀👍
I am sure you get her fixed. At least you had great flights with the TRex. It’s good you leave the filed with a good feeling👍🏻.
Yes Chris I've ordered the parts to get her fixed, thanks for watching and commenting 😀👍
That's really shifting! What sort of speed?
Well Mr Liepins, I would say about 60-70mph P.S. how are you doing?
Shame about the Gosky but you'll get it fixed. And the rest of the video well, just adrenaline fuelled 😁
Yes I've already ordered the parts!! Thanks Cliff 😀👍
Ian great Chopper flying, I always land for walkers too, fun to chat with them. Vibrating parts on a chopper have to be bad. Cheryl Great videoing. Jeff in LA USA
Thanks Jeff, it was an expensive morning out 😒
Great flights Ian, I am sure you find all the sweet spots with this jet, then you will be more relaxed. I have not flown a EDF yet, so will be fun. 😊
Thanks Chris, they are good fun 😀👍
use your flaps with programed down trim as your using a spectrum tx !!!! 😊😊😊 still my fav plane of all time!!!
I was landing without flaps, I have my flaps programmed in my tx and with down elevator, but I prefer to land the EVO without flaps most of the time 👍
@IansRCExploits i had the umx 2 times due to no where to fly bigger models i loved doing night flights and inverted figure of 8's at head hight. but i miss the WOT 4 Foamy the most by ripmax Chris Foss.
I like the wot4 I have the Fms superEZ that is very similar!! But I really like the Turbo Timber Evolution 😀👍
Morning Ian … always love your EDF videos.. and this latest addition does not disappoint… super impressed at your hand launching .. something that always makes me nervous .. the elevator/throttle mix is a great tip …. Also it’s always on your mind when you fly a plane that had issues the last time but you really overcame that …. As always, super enjoyable…. Thanks Michael
Thanks Michael, yes it was a bit concerning as I had had a lot of issues that previous time out with the Marlin!! But I think it was the grass clogging the EDF unit, because this time it was faultless!! Thanks for watching and commenting Michael 😀👍
Nice flying Ian, you may have been nervous, but you couldn't tell by the flying.
I couldn't stop My thumbs from shaking Adam, I hate when that happens!! I need steady thumbs Lol thanks for watching and commenting 😀👍
Stands out beautifully against the grey sky, Yes as Sheryl mentioned the nave lights are outstanding. Moves pretty quick on the 4s.
Yes it's such a nice model plane Jason 😀👍
Very nice video! I have the twin Timber and find it to be a very enjoyable rc airplane to fly. I fly the twin timber on a 4S 3700 mAh LiPo and get about 15 minutes flying time
Wow 15 minutes that must be an efficient set up on the Twin Timber 😀👍
@@IansRCExploits It all depends on how much throttle you use. If you run the airplane at close to full-throttle then you're cutting the flying time I stated by 50%, perhaps even more. I'm not interested in seeing 'how fast' the airplane flies. My emphasis as a seasoned flyer of almost 50 years is to see how realistic I can fly it compared to a full-scale airplane. Most flights are run at 35% to 45% throttle with lots of touch and go's. Hope this helps understand my original 15 minute statement.👌
Yes that is the way i like to try and fly, I have got about 7 minutes out of a 4s 2200mah lipo with gentle throttle use!! Thanks for the reply 😀👍
You two deserve medals for dedication to RC... you must've been at the field around 6:00am, looking at the light levels! Still, the early bird, and all that. Great flights and great camera work, too.
A little bit later Gina, 6.45am 🤣😂 Thanks for watching and commenting 😀👍
@@IansRCExploits I'm still in bed at that time, Ian! 🥱😴😴😴
Ian great flying and great tossing. Cheryl fantastic Video. Zoom zoom zoom X2. Jeff in LA USA
Thanks Jeff 😀👍
looking good - nice handlaunch and away she goes..Nice flying ian , great camera work Cheryl. I flew my Martyn(aka Marlin) this weekend...
It's a great EDF Jet Martyn 😀👍
Well done, Ian. 👍🏻🙂
Thanks RandyB 😀👍
Great flights Ian, those Nav lights are great for winter weather. Do you find that the batteries drain quicker in the cold?
Thanks Chris, yes drain quicker and seem less powerful 😀👍
Very fast jet Ian. Too fast for me😂😂.
It's to fast for me Lol 😂
Nice upload Ian.👍 I like the looks of this plane. Watching this in my break😂. Thanks for this upload. Enjoying it
Thanks Adnan have a great day 😀👍
Nice flights Ian. The EVO is a great plane. Did fine on 3s.
Thanks Adam 😀👍
Thanks for another great video Ian and Cheryl. Very nice nav lights too. I for sure will be getting one in the new year. No rush as I won’t be able to fly in my area in Canada until late March or early April. I know this will be my go to and favourite plane as well. Will pick up a few 4S batteries too. Feel better soon Ian. Nice filming as usual Cheryl.
Thanks Dave, I forget that your winter in Canada is so harsh!! So I can see there's no rush for you to buy one!! Thanks for watching and commenting 😀👍
I really should move to the UK. It’s a much longer flying season. Oh well, it’s time to stay inside and work on my slot car track.
Great flight awesome landing Ian. It is an awesome plane
It sure is and thanks 😀👍
Ian the EVO Turbo Timber is Perfect for any time of year. Ian Fantastic flying , Cheryl another great video. Jeff in LA USA
Thanks Jeff 😀👍
HI Ian - well I cannot comment on how you feel about the Turbo Timber as i have never had one , I also no not have any single aircraft I would say is a winter plane - interesting concept - If I had to choose and it had to be a high wing - I guess I would go for the FMS PA18... it is a taildragger like the timber so boggy ground is not an issue (if you had a nose wheel)... but on a windy winters day I would choose something other than a High Wing taildragger to fly..enjoyed the video and the flying - Light do look good - thanks to Easylights I saved one of my aircraft from a crash... Lights are good......
Well I also agree with your choice Martyn as I also love the PA-18 Cub, thanks for watching and commenting 😀👍
Hello Ian… I totally agree with you … This plane has it all !! Very capable including great STOL as you show us in these great flights … I also think it’s great to look at with those scale look …. What is there not to like …. Even the grass looks sticky wet and she copes with that well ….Get winters fly out …. Thanks .. Michael
Yes she is a real pearl Michael, thanks for watching and commenting 😀👍
