[KeithWasHere1]

does anyone know of an all in one kit of all the electronics one will need for a r/c chopper..like tx/rx,speed control,servos,gyro,stabilizer and whatnot? any help is appreciated.

[MikeysRC]

@KeithWasHere1 got to skyhunterhobby (dot) com and tell him Will from mikeysRC (dot) com sent you. I think he can sell you ALL the parts and electronics to make a heli.

[KeithWasHere1]

@MikeysRC cool thanks man,i appreciate it...owe you a beer hoss!

[KeithWasHere1]

does anyone know the torque that a rc chopper engine puts out just say a rough ball park figure?

[macdaddy1600]

i dont see this heli on that website



[macdaddy1600]

nice video

[juroxzg3]

How much did this all cost(without shipping)

[MikeysRC]

@juroxzg3 The owner of Skyhunter hobby is my friend and he lives close to me so there was no shipping cost. Visit his website skyhunterhobby . com to see the price of the heli.

[lazaermark2]

@MikeysRC I went on line and tyried to find this heli at skyhunter with no luck. what is the model number and what was the cost of the heli kit and what did the accessories cost Bat, Servos, receiver, motoe ESC etc.

Thanks for your help

[MikeysRC]

@lazaermark2 Best thing to di is email him directly and ask him what his 500 kit is. Tell him you saw Will from MikeysRC build his Bullet 500 but that you can't find it on his site anymore.

[Vonshultze]

Buddy can you help me by telling me what parts do I need in your point of view for the HK500GT please?

[MikeysRC]

@RcWorld7 yes.

[MrJewripper]

yo can you build a 250 heli? is it cheaper too? and if you can, can you make a tutorial on how to build a 250?

[neverblameme]

lol is mike dead? hes not coming up anymore

!!

[BoyBangla]

Thank you so much for this video. Very helpful.

[o0dekker0o]

[megertron]

WILL IT THOUGH TOYU NAME WAS MIKE

[MikeysRC]

@megertron NOPE.....MIKE IS THE PUPPETS NAME =0

[megertron]

@megertron ok then so are you good at flying cause i know mike is

and when are you putting up new vids



[nunyabizniss34]

I am using the same servos in my 500 and the two front ones are touching. Are yours? If so, did you use any spacers?

[MikeysRC]

@nunyabizniss34 Yes mine are touching. Fortunately for my my rubber servo bushings had enough give in them to still hold the servos snugly in place.

[fatboynango]

do the bearings need any lube?

[MikeysRC]

@fatboynango Not for the first several flights.

[TheKingPhisher]

Great assembly videos, very nicely done, thank you!

[9988noah]

Also if it comes with the black rotor head is it ALL metal?

[9988noah]

Hey on skyhunterhobby the rotor head it blue along with the tail box. Does this heli kit come with the blue cnc rotor head and tail or the black one on the video?

[MikeysRC]

@9988noah best thing to do is ask skyhunterhobby what it comes with.

[synman95]

hey mike awsome video btw dont use metal gear servos for your tail use a fast plastic servo metal gear servos are slow and heavy hope this helps alan szab told me not to use metal tail servos

[Hawkesih]

great video!!!

[jauchiu]

Will ,This is a excellent video as usual. Thanks. I had herd that Mikey was involved in a airplane crash in Iraq. I hope this is just a rumor.

[MikeysRC]

sorry........=)

[wildhover]

grrrreeeaat....... watching your instructional vids on the EXI 450 got me into building one. now your going to tempt me to try a 500??? just posted a vid of my successful maiden flight of the 450. i'm sure this 500 video series is going to be just as good as the 450 vid's were in helping people out like me.

[watchdog3]

Thank you for posting a instructional video, great job. many thanx hope you will do more simular to this one with the airplane kits that you desighn . I realy dont want to admit it but Im a newbee at RCMB . tHEN i WILL NEED TO GET SOME FLYING LESSONS.

MANY THANX.

[MikeysRC]

You bet,....glad I could help inspire you to fly.

[usuallyverybored]

i have been waiting for a video like this for a really long time and now that its finnally here i am extremely excited. one thing though and it is just a suggetion if you could get your hands on a transmitter like the dx6i and use that, it would be much appreciated. cant wait for the next video thank you will

[MikeysRC]

Well you are in luck my friend. I actually show some of the setup on the DX6i I used to set up this heli. Why don't you join my live chat this Thursday at 6:30 pm Pacific time and you and ask me questions live. Just go to my website and and click on the "Weekly Group Chat" button to join.

[Skydive4ever]

One of my friends bought the HK and it flies awesome, this build video is great, I will definitely use this build video if I get one, thanks Mikey :-)

[rcramosrc]

sweet, hey will, just got done building a sport trainer. I hvnt maidened it yet. I will tomorrow if the weather is ok. I was very impressed with the prop/motor combo you suggested. it seems to hv a ton of extra thrust. I went with the 1400kv and 10x6 prop. thanks!!!

[warofdestruction1]

cool....when are the other videos coming

[MikeysRC]

Very soon. All the videos have been shot. I just have to edit and post everything.

[LTF85199]

Cool, I always wanted to see a nice detailed assembly video of a helicopter, Mikey thank you soo much ..

[brotherblonde]

Perfect timing Mickey!

I have just received my HK 500 GT Trex clone from Hobby City in Hong Kong.

Thanks.

[synman95]

sweet u need the hk600

[exiledconnections]

oh wow first one to watch your video mikey nice i heard the 500s were more stable than 450s

[MikeysRC]

O yeah....MUCH more stable. If you can fly a 450 you can fly a 500. It much easier.

[exiledconnections]

yeah i miss flyin my 450 the battery puffed on me in october and i still havnt got a new one for her plus the weather has been crummy but i miss the flyin
