I love when ppl (ie you) buy expensive helicopters like the t Rex 600 when you cant even fly them, sure you can hover but i dont see any forward flight atleast no in control forward flight, and no nose in hover. WHY OH WHY would you waist money on such a heli if you cannot fly it. DISGRACE!!
@cookumoo What is your problem. Why do ppl (ie you) have to envy others which are simply able to afford things they like (ie a Heli). Start earning your own money and be quiet! And as you might have noticed: This video is 3 years old. I handle the same (repaired ) T-Rex perfectly by now. Just because you can't do something initially, it doesn't mean that you can't learn and shouldn't even try it! Get yourself a hobby, dude, stop mocking around on other videos!
@odraese I should have worded that differently. I apologize for sounding arrogant, but infact I do have a hobby it is the same as yours. It just seems ignorant to buy, crash, fix, buy, crash, fix..an expensive heli, when you could learn on a cheap one first, then fly then expensive one without crashing.. sorry just my opinion. Didnt mean to offend.
@cookumoo No offense taken. By the way: I tried with a cheaper Heli before: Unfortunately it was an eSky Coaxial and when I managed that little heli I've been stupid enough to think that I could also fly bigger ones. Anyway, what helped was Simulator (RealFlight) training....
@odraese cheaper helis always suck buy the biggest you can afford to keep flying/crashing and enjoy the hell out of it. thats what this hobby is for, fun and nothing more.
I can't believe you went out there without even putting on any training gear and learning to hover. Do you at least have a sim? My roommate tried the same shit with his 450 size heli (going out with no gear and didnt know how to hover) and put it in a lake. I have a 550 size swift 16 and I put in probably 2 months on the sim before I flew. With that being said, You got balls flying nose in on your first attempt. Most people stay tail in well past 5 or 10 flights
I always find orientation easier with the canopy on. I you are struck by e.g sunlight or a dark background, a heli going tail in or nose in without a canopy, could look pretty much the same either way.
If u cant fly a trex 600 u need to be taking baby steps...... get a honey bee or something and learn to fly forward flight..if u can fly a 450 size... u can fly anything.....u have alot of money..
I crashed on my first flight too! Apparently, for a split second I forgot I wasn't on the flight simulator anymore and got too cocky doing the same thing this guy is doing when I should be concentrating on doing stable tail-in hovers first and landing right. Kaboom! Luckily, I was on a cheaper, T-Rex 500 ;-) But, crashes can be good 'coz it speeds up the learning curve. You have to learn from it. Something like "oh..uh...I won't do that again" Hehehe
O wow.O well dont sweat it i dont care how good you are EVERYONE crashes eventually.p.s. did you move you aeileron stick right before it crashed?It looks like it had right stick before it chrashed.
i've wanted a r.c. heli since i was little, got me the g4 sim pretty cool, lots of practice, finally got a 3d heli for xmas, can hover no prob, and i'm still fixin my heli after every 2-3rd flite, and lovin it !! thank god i got the $180.00 heli & upgraded myself, work in progress better heli for later. crash & learn !
I feel your pain mate, the walk to the heli after the crash is the worst in the world isnt it lol, you dont know how bad it is but you are praying for as little damage as possible.
ah that sucks dude i am sorry. I am 13 and i compeet with the trex 450. that is such a bummer when you crash it the first flight i did it and i hated the sport for a while and i fixed it and did not crash any more.:) just keep flying and it gets better trust me!:)
@33gate1 Because in the case of a crash, which is inevitable when flying helicopters, the canopy will help to save your electronics. It's not guaranteed to save your gear, but it's an extra wall of protection between your expensive parts and the ground.
The only advice I would give is to never fly without a canopy, it makes it much easier to see which way the heli is flying! Still these helis are only a little expensive to repair, probably not more than £80 per crash! :)
YOu should never fly a big heli like that for youre first propper heli,, Try flight sim and with no friends there. They will make you do silly things then you will cut youre arm off lol
Yeah I think his pitch curve is off judging by the sound of the blades he is getting postive pitch before he reaches the proper rotor speed. Yeah I would fly with a conopy also its there to help protect the vital electronics in a crash.
Head speed far to low, looks like you flying with no exponential on your cyclics. Learn hovering from all angles and some forward flight on the sim until your are totally comfortable..makes it a lot cheaper and enjoyable in the long run.
na i dont crash much once in two years the on my t-600 many years of experiance talkin thats all. All expo does is hide bad stick skills in my opinion. set the swash up properly and no expo needed
You certainly show your expereince with a statement like that. Expo smooths out the controls around center stick but gives a full range of motion. It does not hide bad skills as you will find all of the top people use it. Setting the swash is easily achieved and has fuck all to do with expo, try swash menu, pitch curves for that. Also if you have many years experience, why post a video of of you flying like a numpty from last year.
what are you talking about its not my video. I just watched it like you and gave some comments. its just my opinion anyhow. I dont claim to be an expert it just works for me.
Why did you fly with the hood off? Makes it harder to see how the helicopter is oriented, which was probably the cause of the crash. It also helps to keep some goodies intact and mud-free.
In regard to the simulation, it's learning how to move the sticks that's important, and that's something you should be able to train with pretty much any sim that allows you to use your own transmitter. I found it a huge help just in keeping my bird from crashing into things.
Actually the main reason was that the rotor speed was far too low. But you're right, the hood is helping too. Anyway, I went with RealFlight G4 now and this seems to help a lot. Flying a lot lately (with the T-REX) and don't crash it anymore....
In my professional opinion I would say G3, also, pick yourself up one of those cheep bargin barn helicopters, or radio shack (aka the source) and get one of their cheep helicopters. That way you get a feel for the 3 flight the real way, plus you can fly them indoors as they are small enough
servus. Soweit ich das sehe, hattest Du zu wenig RPM am Kopf. Daher auch das hin- und her-wandern des Heli. Dazu kommt dann noch die Angst und die mangelnde Erfahrung und schon ist es passiert ;D
as many other comments have been made ... sim time is unmeasurable in worth. I can tell you've flown some type of rotorcraft before as when near a dangerous situation, you advance the collective(throttle) to gain altitude. I've got a Blade CP pro and was looking to invest in a Trex, can you tell me how much time you had on this Trex before you filmed this video?
1) Can you tell me which sim you use? I currently try ClearView but it seems too easy compared to reality.
2) The video was actually showing really the first flight with the T-REX - it never left ground before. But I had some practice with a LAMA eSky before...
no!!! real flight g3 and g4 both suck try phoenix its the most amazing simualtor... and u can use ur own radio dx7 is awesome if u have one.. but physics with the phoenix is just awesome its like real life..
sorry for your loss, and it sounded like your gear mesh was a little on the tight side. Setup and sim time are most important. Good luck in the future:)
Maybe it that is your first heli you should have started with like a Blade CX you did good if it was your first time. But learn to hover good first and then go from there and get a sim maybe.
Well it was deserved it was clear you did not have it under control i saw multiple almost crashes and dangerous situations. You should have stopped flying. And second fly with idle up your RPM droped to much.
Wasn't that bad. Just the rotors broken and the plastic gears. Anyway, everything is repaired by now....and yes, I have bought a simulator (ClearView) to practice a bit before the next flight.
Damn :( you should of got Realflight g3.5 best simulator!!! and u can get the trex 600CF Electric as well as the nitro pro.. its a tight simualtor works great and good physcics just for future im telling you thats all.
This guy is no disgrace, at least he's trying and the only wayto improve is practise. I would suggest you spend more time on a SIM tho :)
