Perfect! I am just building a HK 500 GT and I know it's not a proper align. If I get it to fly half as good as that I will be more than impressed! I aint seen anyone land that accurately before. Good work!!!!! Ian
@orangefit07 Thanks. It using the first generation 500L motor (the one with the can). This kit did come with the newer frames (with lowered battery tray) but, unfortunately, did not come with the newer 500M canless motor. So far the 500L has been plenty powerful. I may upgrade it later though.
I'm using 3-cell Zippy and Rhinos 2550 size in series. I use Anderson Powerpole connectors for very simple serial connection without needing an adapter. Long live Powerpoles!
You have very good control. I see your piroflips at 3:10. You do it "stacked" which is very difficult, and creates a figure 8 tail whip effect. Try adding a "dead spin" in between each piro flip. You know just a 360 flat piro between. This will create a spherical effect. Have you tried this?
That's how I got started on that move as I wanted to learn a hard trick that used the rudder. But the flatter spherical flipping is also hard! Requires different timing of course and ability to hold a steady flat pirouette which I need to get down first -- it boils down to basics at some point. Will get it eventually. I can do the single flips easy now and its actually become my preferred way to flip between upright and inverted and vice versa.
thanks for the insight on you piroflip efforts. You mentioned holding a "steady flat pirouette". That's here I'm stuck. How the heck do you do that? Can somebody make a youtube video on that? I've even seen people make their flat-steady-piro move in an orbit. I'm calling all youtube piroflipper's to remember their roots!!! Break it down, and show us your secrets!!!
I've heard to choose a single point in the heli's piro revolutions and always make your adjustments at that point. For example, you can do it when the heli is just about to pass through tail-in position. Always make your attitude adjustment at that point.
For pirouetting in the piroflip move, its better if your drill in making continous piros that keep the attitude steady with minimal drift. That is hard enough by itself just starting out. Drill in this move in both upright and inverted.
Good work

Your flying skills after just one year is absolutely unbelievable! Doing Piro-Flips after one year... wow... that's awesome!

Very nice indeed! Looks like Fremont. From the comments, it looks like I'm not the only one working on piroflips ; )

Nice! Are you using the 500 M motor? Also what batter are you using?

Very keen observations on the piro flips! :)
