T-34 RC HELICOPTER OUTDOOR FLIGHT TEST IN THE FREEZING WIND

[antonr91]

Hey man....they really need to make some metal upgrades for these...it would make the gyro as well as other parts much stronger and look alot cooler. I dont think the weight would be an issue, especially as im using the king max 1900 lipo and sky king main and tail blades :)

[RCHELIBUG]

Hi @antonr91, yes it would look alot better and i don't think the weight would be an issue, metal parts tend to move better so performance should improve. i tried the skyking main blades for a while and they give some serious lift, but be careful, on impact they just shatter as i found out to my cost, i clipped the curtains in my living room and the blades shattered into loads of pieces and one rather large sharp piece stuck right into my leather sofa and the wife wasn't impressed, lol.

[antonr91]

@RCHELIBUG Do you know anywhere that makes them or any helicopter that has a metal gyro that would fit these helis? And i only use them know as the lift is so much better. I buy 3 pairs at a time from china and it costs me £10 for 3...so its not a bad deal at all and now that ive improved in flying and can manage to push the heli to its limited capabilities, i do not need to buy them anymore as crashing is at a bare minimum to none at all...shame about the sofa lmao ;)....ive done similar ha!

@antonr91 I don't think they make metal bits for the t34, but there may be some from other heli's that fit but they would take some finding.

What do you mean by metal gyro?

To be honest i don't use my t34 anymore because i'm learning to fly single blade 4ch heli's, the t34 was good fun but when i'd mastered flying it and had pushed it to and beyond its limits i decided to get started on the Honey Bee V2 FP so i can fly faster and eventually move on to 6ch CP heli's.

Hi RCHELIBUG, would you say these copters are fairly reliable? I might get one of these. Good vid, thanks for the info.

[RCHELIBUG]

Hi @zt2max, personally i'd say its the best in its price range, but you will want to replace the tail rotor for a bigger one. i've been told to stay away from dh 9100. i have replied on your profile page.

[zt2max]

@RCHELIBUG Ok - thanks for the warning, at the moment I am pretty impressed with the T-34's reputation. Keep those vids coming. :-)

Nice flying my friend, what is the size of your new rotor ? makes a big difference !

[RCHELIBUG]

@molskoi Hi mate, the rotor is 110mm, its from a syma 9077 eagle and i think its also same as syma 9053 volitation and it does make a dramatic difference. the wind in this video is around 7 to 8mph, it would just blow away with the standard rotor. thanks

[RCHELIBUG]

Thanks mYfLASK, i've just watched your new vid with the dragonfly tail rotor, fantastic job. i'm very tempted to get one fitted on my T-34, does it take much modifying to fit? also will it not put too much strain on the motor?

i'm just itching to get mine out again, last time out i broke the little pegs on the upper blade grip so i'm grounded for a while. do you know where i can get new parts? they just seem really expensive on ebay, nearly £6 for a new upper blade grip. thanks

[mYfLASK]

Thanks’ mate yes this monster tail rotor has a dramatic difference in forward flight, two simple mods. Re-drill the tail boom fin hole up 16mm towards the helicopter. With mine I had to invert the tail blade housing position, because the blade pitch would have been facing the wrong way, no need to alter the wiring. It will be interesting to see if this is as fast with just this mod, or does the second tail motor give it the edge. Time will tell with the motor strain.

[mYfLASK]

Nice control RcHeliBug you fly the T-34 exceptionally well.

[Intensecrazy]

Very nice! :)
