T-Rex 600E with floats take- off and landing on water

[arwupig]

nice video

[storchflieger]

Negative, Mate. All 100% Align. Floats are gone and the frame went into a Hughes 500 scale body equipped with a D.IY. light system. (Hughes 500 night flight). Anyway thanks for your concern.

[pwninginc2]

If thats a T-Rex...why does it have a cheap ugly HK canopy? I have a T-Rex 600...No way anyone would put a cheap hobbyking canopy on an Align product. So....thats a HK 600 correct?

[cptkirk2007]

You should try fishing with that. :-)

[storchflieger]

Thanks for your comments guy's. 3D is out for me- haven't got the nerves any more but I like scale flying like my Hughes 500 night flight (7 LED's).

It is 60 size.

[dustinhinton]

is the Trex 600, a 50 size heli or a 90 size? Thanks

[bigfrog75]

Excellent. One of my mentors is an older gentleman who flies in a very smooth controlled manner. I love my 3D but every few flights I like to take it slow and try to be smooth like you guys. Every bit as rewarding as 3D.

[s70glt100]

nice shorts :)

[datapolo]

Smoooooooooth! Well done, nice flying!

[chrsmcwtrs]

nice.

[svenott]

Nice flying, looks so cool with those big floats. How did you manage, that youtube didn't cancel your soundtrack?

[roadkingjp]

Nice flying. Very smooth I enjoyed the show.

[storchflieger]

many thanks for your comment, Dieter.Keep practising (use a FS- its cheaper!).

Have a look for my Hughes 500 night flight.

Viel Erfolg!

Very Nice Claus, love the nose in landing thats not easy, I have tried and crashed but I wont give up.

All the best, dieter13

[popcorn8190]

a bit slow for my liking but everyones got there forte' and yours is cruising around with a nice expensive heli. : )

[storchflieger]

Hi Scott,

thanks for the positive comment. Because I don't fly 3D my battery pack is more on the conservative side. I use a 6S, 6000mA Lipo but also work with my DIY A123 battery pack. It exists of 14 cells (3.5V, 2300mA). First I match them in pairs of two and connect them in parallel. Those 7 packs are hooked up in series with the reult of having a 7S, 4600mA battery. I also added two JST plugs for individual cell charging. They also power my Hughes500 night flight with lights (in YTas well).

[BUGGER9946]

Very Nice Claus! Please be more specific about the batterries You`re using.

ThankYou ,

Scott

[storchflieger]

It's not that hard to fly on water with those big "boots". Important is to be able to control the Heli at any time. Got another clip of my Hughes 500 scale body flown at night in flood lights with high intensity LED's. Thanks anyway for your positive comment.

Regards,

Claus

[Boldken]

Your excellent flying skill in landing the copter on water to what seem like a simple walk in the park does not go unnoticed. Bravo.

[1BLADESHY]

great flyin' Nice and smooth :-)

[Skidlidz]

Very nice..... Smooth flying guy

[420choky]

simply cool

[imager09tube]

Nicely done/ where did you get the floats?

[imager09tube]

Excellent/ Nicely done/ Congrats/

[quicky3459]

Great video. Soft control.

[94Majid]

where do you buy these floats?

[jauchiu]

This is a excellent video. Wish I could fly as well as you. Please post some more videos. Thanks!

[storchflieger]

@jauchiu Thanks for your comment. I didn't learn it over night to fly my Heli's resonably well. Get yourself a good FS and practice and I mean a lot. You'll reach a stage where you don't think any more- you control the Heli like you operate your car. Than you're in business!

Good luck.

Regards,

Claus

@storchflieger

Hey man,

thats a wonderfull tip man

Im gonna try it soon when i got it (Olmost )

[blackened260]

wow nice shorts!!

[leviterande]

love it how u use it a boat

[MrHelidude]

Nice flying. We have similar floats on our Shuttle Plus.

[storchflieger]

Hi Guy's,

thanks for your positive input. Floats are from Tower Hobbies. I fly now with DIY A123 packs, 7S2P, 4.6 Ah- no puffing like LiPo's and

c h e a p- up to 1000 charging cycles !!

Regards,

Claus

[MrHelidude]

Nice flying. We are looking for a good pair of floats our selves. (Australia)

[pdbakos]

G'day Claus, Great video, Thanks for posting. Can you tell us what company/store in the US you bought the floats from? Regards Paul.(Townsville)

[clausgr]

Hi Paul,

thanks for your positive comment. I got the floats from Tower Hobbies. They are big but provide great stability. My 600 is still going strong with well over 300 flights (belt still ok!).

Regards,

Claus

[freezatron]

get a sea king body kit :)

[skypirate553]

Niceeeeeeee !!!

[mdivinc]

Did you make the floats yourself? If so what did you use? Thanks for posting the video. Check out the video response I left showing how I made landing gear to help me learn with less crashing.

[clausgr]

Hi,

floats are a finished product bought from a company in the US.

Regards,

Claus

[Burdo1]

Dat's sum big booties!!!!

[SPAGHETTIMONSTER1]

nice flying style there !, like them floats. nice vid, you should do some more.

[pinoydad0811]

you fly so smooth i wish i can fly like that ..i got a 450 size heli

[clausgr]

Spend some time on your FS before you fly your "450". Believe me, its cheaper! I feel almost ashamed if I told you how long it took me to master those beasts. Don't give up, practise, practise.....and again....

[2010scott1995]

The bigger the heli the more stable it is

[garth344]

cool helicopter

[clausgr]

Thanks guys for your positive input. BTW the belt hasn't broken yet after 200+ flights!

[MrSatoV]

those floats could double as an anti-crash kit! I agree with David though... I'd be too scared to fly over water.

[DavidSunshine867]

Nice flying Claus!! I'd be scared to fly over water, never know when your belt or something could go.  But that's just me!

Very smooth flying, and nice landings on the water, it looks fun to skid it around like a boat.

Keep it up!

[Macsgrafs]

Those floats are massive, where did you get them?

[tcruz86]

Excellent video. How much to buy one w/ this configuration? I'm a pilot but on the real thing. I'd like to fly it on Guam. Thanks.

[Rbeal52]

You will be looking at around 1000 RTF with one battery (5 or 6 mins of hovering)
