Great flying man... i enjoy all your video.
Awesome, should have mine in a few days. Excited to try them.

Man you make it look so effortless. I get scared in low rates doing a right hand turn nose in. I seem to loose control every time. I am flying the OMP M2 V2 and the M1. I have only been seriously learning since June of this year. I flew blade micro helicopters a few year back but never mastered it. I could use a coach.
Cool video, awesome flying! So glad to hear you're enjoying them, looks and sounds like they're doing exactly what they were meant to do. 6 sets left at amain currently, let's see for how much longer 😂
There should be less now 😉👍
For the tail 71 or 72 flies better?
@@flyblood2045 Those two exist to accomodate different grip sizes, decide based on the heli you fly
@@Johnny31297 Also I have heard do not use 385 + 71 on the Trex 470's they will touch.
@@viper4060 I heard they do work with the 470 trex
Hey man, great videos. One question, I have a Protos 380 Light v2 already fitted with the POM dampeners, compared to my Oxy 4 max the 380 doesn't stop as hard in Rainbows, etc. Do you thin that switching to the metal blade grip would make a big difference ? I ask you since you have been flying both version.
Thanks for sharing! Beautiful ❤️ are you using the egodrift? If so what kv and pinion. I lowered the timing on mine to 7 on the HW ESC. Still a little hot.
The EgoDrift does run a bit warm but it's nothing to be worried about. Mine is the 900kV with a 23T pinion.
I don't know what you call that maneuver at 11:48, but I like it. :)
Current fleet is 185, 210, 550, and 800. Next up is a 380. The Protos 380 Evo V2 combo (at AMain) is looking like a great deal and gorgeous too. It seems like you really like your 380, seen it in a few videos now....
I doubt you'll be disappointed!
@@BladeScraper Going to IRCHA this year?
@@yzScott Hopefully
@@BladeScraper Same... hopefully.
Wish I could use these! I have a trex 470, rotortech mains will slap the RT71s i use
I'm like 99% sure they will fit. I ran the original RT on mine and never had any issues with RT71.
Scratch that, confirmed that yes they will fit just fine. Go buy a set!
Are you running the speed up tail pulley? Suprised at 900kv you’re running 23 pulley on motor must run over 3k headspeed a lot as 21 gets you to 2900 with 20% headroom on governor
No, it's the stock tail pulley.
My headspeeds are 2700, 2900, 3100. I rarely fly above 2900 though. It does just fine despite the lowish throttle percentage.
Are the metal tail blade holders worth the upgrade? I'm currently building this heli and have the plastic stock ones.
Metal tail ones are definitely worth getting, the plastic tail grips have a tendency to be sticky and not smooth rotating even when properly assembled. That makes it more likely for you to have tail wag that can't be fixed electronically.
Hi , like your video's. Can you share your throtlte curves for the different flight modes ?
Throttle curves aren't really that useful by themselves. I use the YGE gov store in combination with my RPM telemetry to set specific headspeeds by adjusting the throttle curves. You can't really transfer curves between helis because every heli is different. I run 2700/3000/3200 on the 380.
@@BladeScraper Thanks I understand, I also use a YGE ESC with Gov.Store, so I presume you're using flat curves right, but do you also use a flat curve for your normal mode ?
Hi Sir, HRB 1800mAh is good and enduring for 380 heli? thanks
Yeah, works fine
Would they have a blade to use on the M2 V2?
No, currently the best blades for the M2V2 are the stock ones.
Have you tried the original rotor tech 386? And the azure 385?
I’n looking for the best floaty feeling blade for the 380 size and gonna be the best for autos also
Yes before the 385U came out RT-386 is all I flew. The 385U are definitely better in every way. I have not flown the AZ385 but I have flown other Azures, so if the 385 follow the Azure pattern the 385U will be better for what you’re wanting.
@@BladeScraper Thankyou for the fast reply! I ordered 2x sets of the 385 ultimates just now with the 71 ultimate tails. :)
@@Mikgrn2009 Perfect! What heli are they for?
@@BladeScraper trex 470 LT
@@Mikgrn2009 nice. I had a LP but great heli. You may consider grabbing some ALIGN 74mm tail blades if you find the tail to not be powerful enough. I made a speed up kit for the belt version but not much you can do about the torque tube version.
I'm thinking about my next 380 heli, can you tell me how do you feel between xlp protos 380 versus protos 380 evo?
The Evo is a bit heavier, needs a bit more headspeed. Not a huge difference but it's there. I'd much rather crash the xl380 over the Evo, the Evo boom is not likely to break but it's expensive if it does.
@@BladeScraper I already owned an oxy 4max. I'm going to get xlp for daily practice. Thanks for your answer!
@@BladeScraper How about the HRB battery ur using? Does it bulge after xx flights?
what the best way to learn how to fly
Simulator :)
Personally I'm not too impressed with Ultimate blades. The performance gain compared to standard ones felt very marginal to me. One would expect more for the price differnece they sell. For instance, Ultimates fall in the same price range as Azure blades, and Azures are real cyclic performance monsters, many levels above RT ultimates.
Definitely don't agree there. Flying the AZ700 next to the RT700U there's no comparison at all. Azures are slow. I had a pair and sold them after 2 flights and bought three more sets of 700U lol.
@@BladeScraper Well I have them on my 550 and rotational rates of Azures and RT (standard or ultimate) ara basically night&day. While with RT, the 550 is fairly slow on cyclic even with 11 or more degrees cyclic pitch, Azures are are lightning fast even below 10 degrees, it feels kinda unreal. Couldn't believe such a diffetence was possible when first trying them out. Hands down Azures win big time.
@@TB-vr8hy so the main issue is that what you're saying is mathematically impossible. The Azures are, by design, slower at a given RPM and pitch than the Ultimates. They're designed for high RPMs and fly terrible at lower RPMs and that goes for all sizes. The AZ700 on my Specter 700 on the inner grip arm hole feel slower than the RT-U on the outer hole. That proves the mathematics as well... They're simply slower. They're okay at higher RPM (>2000) but horrendous at slower speeds. I borrowed a set of the AZ560 at a fun fly to try on my 550 and at the low RPMs I fly it's just pathetic honestly lol.
It might be the best blade, but it’s also ridiculous expensive for a 380 blade👎🏻
