That was an awesome flight! Sounds like a real helicopter to🫡
thank you! yes it does! nothing sounds better then a turbine.
Amazing 3d with turbine, this is my next dream
Thank you! It’s a beautiful heli.
I like this better than violent 3D.
Me too, I love big air smooth 3D.
The sound of this beast is the best part. It sounds exactly like the big boi’s like gives MD500E vibes. Just cant tell you how much this makes me 😊
The sound is the best part! I would love to build a Turbine MD500E! Maybe one today.
Wow , what an awesome Heli. You have great flying skills. 😄👍👍👍
Thank you! I greatly appreciate that.
This thing is an absolute beast 😍😍 i dont know how you fly it as i get shakey watching it start up 😂 awsome piloting skills mate
It really is! It flys amazing. What’s crazy is I actually don’t feel nervous or scared at all flying this thing. It feels natural! It’s smooth and performs great! I get nervous flying the TDS and will definitely get nervous flying the new build….. 🫣🫣
Silky-smooth
Thank you!
Thanks again for sharing Jeff, that is just awesome entrainment!!
Thank you for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
Hi I from Malaysia like all of your job man, keep it up
Thank you! I appreciate that!
After the 3 blade upgrade…..your next mission should you choose to accept it….. fit the mechanics into a scale fuselage!!! Great helicopter, love your channel and all the information you provide, all the best from the UK.
We’ve definitely thought about scale fuselages but! I’d rather build one from scratch and keep this one a 3-D helicopter. Maybe some thing with two rotors…. maybe something bigger…. who knows what the future holds.
Keep em comeing....i use you as my inspiration fly smoother and work on my technique....thank you for every thing you have done and do for this hobby we love...
Thank you! I greatly appreciate that. I am happy to help and inspire. This is my passion, and I love that I get to share it with each and everyone of you so thank you!
Poetry in motion, Jeff . impressive, smooth and elegant.
Thank you! I appreciate that!
Great to see that helicopter flying!
Thank you buddy! It flys great!
Awesome flying as always sir, you make it look like that heli is just floating,that was so smooth!
Thank you! I enjoy smooth, flying a lot! I appreciate that!
Very impressive Jeff 🎉🎉, excellent flying per usual
Thank you Paul! I appreciate that!
It sounds so COOL !!
It’s the best sound!
Jeff, just the other day I watched your video from a year ago at possibly the same cancer awareness event. This year the turbine flies like a rocket 🚀 sled on rails and sounds powerful enough for the 3-blade upgrade.
Yes that was the same event! Awesome time and a great event to support. This thing definitely flies. Incredible and surprises me more and more every flight. Three blade should be awesome!
Nice flying… I am taking notes. Very smooth. I’ll be looking forward to see the 3 blade setup.
Thank you! I appreciate that. I’m looking forward to it as well. Should be even more awesome.
Even the shutdown sounds really cool
Shut down sounds awesome!
It's awesome my friend, I'm trying to imagine the modifications required, and it's crazy. Great job . It's the first turbine raw 700.
It really is! Such a great flying helicopter that just really has a different presence and feel to it. Lots of work! This is the second Turbine RAW 700 but the only one in the US. The other one is in the UK.
Gotta keep that new timer of yours! 😂
It’s been 11 years I should keep her around a little longer! 🤣
Her sound effects are the best part.
She definitely has a lot of them! lol
Bro, i believe you have started a new thing with this. It's an awesome creation and i wouldn't be surprised to see kits from this. Thank you for the great vids. Thanks!
Thank you Mike! I would love to see SAB make a kit for this. I did see blackout mods have a prototype for the XL power turbine the other day.
@@westhobbiesrc8051 Awesome! 😁😁
Wow thats a rly great chopper 😎
Thank you! It’s awesome!
Very cool
It really is!
Can’t beat the sound
No you can not!
Stoked to see it tri-bladed. thing will be a monster. should sound wicked.
Me too! There’s only one problem! The three blade head is design for a 12 mm Shaft and the turbine is a 10 mm shaft….. so that we will have to figure out. Lol
@@westhobbiesrc8051 easy enough, local machine shop could probably turn you out a brass spacer collar. should work perfect
Did you come up with a little routine just for this Heli? It looked like a professional demo. I love the mixture of 3D and Sport! Great Flight!
Thank you! I really appreciate that. No, so I just always wing it lol I should definitely come up with a routine just for this helicopter. But I always just fly in whatever comes to me comes to me.
Awesome flight Jeff! Most do not have the guts to ring out a turbine heli and push it hard. Was going to ask if you've ever auto'd it, but decided nah, its a pig lol
I appreciate that! Thank you, you are right. Most people will never do nothing but hover may be a loop and a roll. But what fun is that? I wanna see what it can do! I have not auto rotated it yet, but it can definitely be done.
I'm happy to see you enjoying your build more. I don't see a lot of turbine helis flying sport or 3d. It's cool seeing what it's capable of
It is a blast! Every flight I enjoy it more and more, and start to push it more and more. I have seen one or two guys push a whiplash pretty hard, but other than that you really don’t see anybody do anything other than hover and maybe a loop. They are a lot more capable than most think
@@westhobbiesrc8051 definitely more than I thought. I get it because the expensive. I can't imagine a turbine will handle an impact well
@@HuevosAzules they will not handle a crash well. But we don’t think about that lol
@@westhobbiesrc8051 nah. No worries here haha
@@HuevosAzules worry if it happens lol
Good brother 👍🇺🇸🇨🇱✌️
Thank you!
What is the weight comparison between this setup and your typical electric setup. Also, are you going to do a cost comparison video? Cool man😉
So I’m not sure on weight between electric and this turbine but nitro it’s 1lb 8oz heavier. I could do a comparison. But it definitely doesn’t have the torque that the electric has.
is that the new e-sky thing?😅 we all started out cheap 🤣 joking aside,I think the thing is megacool❣
Trust me, I started out with swap shop find helis and no gyro and a $10 4ch radio. Lol thank you! It’s awesome!
Obviously Not a Medevac Chopper! 😮
No, it is not!
I'm actually really impressed with how much power it was making, would you say it's pretty comparable to a nitro heli? Is there any kind of tuning element to it, or does the computer just give you maximum performance at all times? Does it seem like it's making more power as the turbine breaks in more? Awsome flying as always Jeff!
I am too! This Heli really does impress me every flight! So there is no actual tuning. It is all computer controlled but you can take power away. For example, if you want to have less RPM at the engine. But theoretically, it should make the exact same power from the day. It’s a new till you send it in for service. The biggest issue with a turbine is the delay in throttle response. So when you load the collective, it’s a two second delay, forget the rpm back so you must be very smooth to try to not enter that throttle stage. Might try and play with throttle curves to help eliminate some of that. Course because it has a V style curve right now. I would compare power to a rich nitro.
@@westhobbiesrc8051 oh gotcha, that's still really impressive, for some reason I thought you were running a governor on it, is it possible to run one or do you have to just use curves with it?
@@Lance57H I’m running Vbar Governor. Using a RPM sensor to the fan. But with Vcontrol they have a V curve so as you add power you get more RPM and as you go to center you get less RPM but I think it’s so much of a curve. Need to play with it.
Does this burn regular nitro blend or something else? Also I assume it has a clutch transmission? If so what kind of maintenance is involved here?
So we run kerosene with 5% Kingtech turbine oil. You can run Jet A or diesel as well. Yes, there is a clutch. Same one as the nitro 700. No real maintenance needed except after a couple hundred flights or a hot start you have to replace the liner.
I’ve been looking to purchase the king tech heli complete kit. Do you know anything about their quality?
I was actually just talking to a buddy Saturday about the Kingtech turbine Heli. It’s a heck of a deal and best bang for your buck turbine Heli. The engine alone is $3200 so the whole Heli at $5200 (I believe) is a steal. No idea on quality as I’ve never seen one in person.
@@westhobbiesrc8051 ok good feeling a little more enticed now lol. I just sold my 600xn so I think ima go for it. Now as far as fuel goes what’s the best option?
Can you dye the fuel or is it easier to see in person?
Yes you can and I need to! Lol no, it’s just as hard to see in person. You will see at IRCHA.
I need to decide what I’m taking still. I’m not sure if I bring everything in case stuff breaks or bring reliable stuff with spares
@@jonathanmoore7472 I’m focusing on speed helis this year but I’ll bring my trailer and and bunch of parts and tools so if you need to work on anything we got a spot lol
Could do what? Fly mild aerobatics? Some of us have been doing this for years with turbines.. I guess it doesnt count if its not on youtube?
I’ve been doing it for years too lol it’s just always impressive. Seeing a turbine helicopter do things you’re told it can’t do.
Man, that motor sucks…. air…😎
It sure does! Lots and lots of air!
You are a great flyer and builder and sorry to sound negative but i really do not see the point of a turbine in a heli other than a scale model. What is gained over a elec or ic with far greater power to weight. it can not be as thrilling flying the turbine. Fun yes but its no way as capable for hard acro or 3d. its a great model BUT normally all your flying is much more agressive than this. put a huey body on it and i get a turbine heli. Dont for get you can fly all your other 600/700 helis just like this turbine. not saying its a bad vid, i also do not get EV cars either !
In all honesty are used to not care for turbine helicopters before building and flying this morning. Are used to think they were pointless and a waste of money, but they are just different! It is a different flying and it’s just cool not every day do you see a Turbine helicopter doing light 3-D. And in all honesty, I can turn the head speed up even more and push it harder than I have been. But of course, it will never have the torque in power of an electric or could be flown as hard as an electric model.
