  • In today’s video we get the maiden flight on the Comet V2! After 10 months of waiting and getting custom parts made the comet is back! Better than ever! 16s with a custom Xnova motor. This thing is going to be a rocket.

    The nerves on the maiden of a new Heli is real . Just hoping nothing unexpected rears its head with any of the systems .
    Beast !! What a beauty

    Jeff, another amazing build, this helicopter 🚁 is a real Frankenstein, with Kraken tail parts and all of the custom made billet aluminum / carbon fiber parts, X-Nova motor with your channels name on it, look 👀 out Tareq Alsaadi there’s a new helicopter king. 🤣😂 Totally cool 😎 rotracting landing skid 👍🏻

    Very cool machine. Im trying to learn about speed flying. What does the tail fin actually do!? and why is it set at a 16° angle!?

    • @westhobbiesrc8051
      @westhobbiesrc8051  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thank you! It’s a work of art lol so one of the biggest issues with flying helicopters fast is Blade stall. Luckily these blades don’t really stall like a traditional blade as they have a crazy design to them, but the nose does like the pitch up under a full pass or when you unsettled the helicopter under hard pitch transitions. The horizontal thin is a flying surface and like an airplane it holds that tail at that angle. You set the fin to the angle of forward flight and it will help steady and keep the helicopter tracking straight.
