Sorry for the wind noise, it was windy, and the go Pro has no mic muff.

And still snjbird has not learned to hover! lol! Great flying.
With my new Fathers day pres. I am running out of room on my shelve.

Just got my first 500, it's just the airframe but I'll be getting electronics for it soon

hmmmm haven't posted in a while, was out testing out a TT GT5 on the old 500..... goes pretty darned good. Still needs a bit of tweaking to get it perfect though.

First attempt at 3D not very good at all... BUT I was kinda happy that when I almost crashed twice I was able to recover... Sometimes I forget to give negative collective when doing loops and well I am learning.

I dont really do anything until about 4 minutes in, first 4 minutes I was playing with the gain to get rid of my wobble...

Enjoy

Just joined the 500 club today! Can't wait to get it set up and fly. I know my knees will be wobbling on spool up for sure...lol.

[NSFlyer12]

Finally got to fly my 500 today. I was a little nervous on the first spool up but not too bad after that. Only 2 months into this great hobby and looking forward to how I progress along.

Mother of God! What head speed is that thing running at? I toss around my 450 in my backyard but am too scared to do it with the 500. That sounds vicious.

Simple moves huh? That really looked like you were relieving stress, that's for sure.

Very powerful flying dude!

Thanks bro. Its 2600 in iu2 and 2475 I think in iu1

[Mike2112]

Mine is set to 2800 and sounds nothing like yours. I found the CC ESC and Scorp motor sound VERY different from the stock setup. Your heli and skills are sick. I gotta go back and try your setup.

The CC ESC and full size tail servo add 1 oz. EACH! I might go back to stock, rip of my FBL and try the KBDD paddles.

What Lipos you using?

Your running that plastic head and belt...is that correct???

Yea all plastic. A lot less vibes and weight. Metal is just for looks lol. I'll post another vid soon doing some big acrobatics. I'll probably end up with a msh ESC governed at 2600. It'll rip way harder then. I usually run a flat 75 throttle curve which gives me 2500 ish head speed and motor and ESC come down around 110. Batts are gens ace 2500 25c. Best batts I've ever used.

Hard act to follow... but here goes anyway: I'm in the middle of building my T-rex 500E Pro, [KX-017015T], with the "Hughes 500e" fuselage.
