A walk in the river to rescue KDS 550E

[97nnamdi]

i knew it one of those day

[superninjaskillz]

:)

[123RITEROUND123]

should have gone and gotten a coast gaurd rc boat to rescue it lol

[Lonewolf2201]

Ali, you've probably been asked this before but would you recommend the DX7?

[alishanmao]

@Lonewolf2201 Highly Very highly. I use it, Tareq AlSaadi Uses it. its a great short range radio, (mine has 900meters range) but other models of DX7 (Not EU) have 1km to 1.5km range

[ardrie]

okieeeeeeeeeeeeeeee well if in australia lucky you didnt get eaten hahahahaha and hey that a big heli huh mm anyway thanks, your a very entertaining guy i reckon, and thanks to maryhem to, good video maker.

[alishanmao]

@ardrie LOL yes, i would not dare going into a river in australia

[cod4madass]

dry it out it'll be fine

[Alcadeias2]

I knew this was gonna happen one day. "one day Ali will crash his heli into the river". It happened. LOL

[Rogue1031]

Going to change your name to AliSoggyMao...lmao....

[Rogue1031]

Nice rescue Ali! Was Maryam laughing? Didn't hear her, if it were me I'd be lmao. Sad it took a bath, but still in the end it was pretty funny.

[youronlycow]

hey, show us an update of your home ali! all the models and the baby! Request from me :D

[alishanmao]

@youronlycow will do :D

[tcbsrcs]

HAHA ;););)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TRAPBOULTERNAS]

whya take the transmitter?

[alishanmao]

@TRAPBOULTERNAS lol I though I could still fly it out of water

[rclluiggi23]

would u have gone 4 it if it landed on the otherside of the river?????

[alishanmao]

@rclluiggi23 will take out my boat

[timoulete76]

Alishanmao without pant and shoes may be sex' héhé

[alishanmao]

@timoulete76 LOL yes

[Bynum4life]

Awe dude, that sucks. Nice to see your attitude about it was on top. Did everything turn out ok?

[alishanmao]

@Bynum4life yup, just one servo went bad. possibly crash was due to that servo

[Bynum4life]

@alishanmao Have you gotten a chance to fly the blade 450?

[worthmor]

That's why I don't fly over water!

Hope it dries out ok!

[Paulfletcher]

Nice recovery Ali, hope it drys out least it was a soft landing..

[alishanmao]

@Paulfletcher not much damage.

[dazh]

@2:10 - My BeastX ahhuhuhu... Lolz! but nice to hear that only 1 servo was destroyed. By the way, that's a nice cap!

[alishanmao]

@dazh thanks mate :D

[Aarongr4]

Thumbs up for Ali's hat :D

[jbx907]

is the electronics still good?

[alishanmao]

@jbx907 yup except one servo. Have not tried the beastX yet. gonna give it few more days to dry out

[kpopRC]

well at least it's in one piece 

[alishanmao]

@kpopRC one broken servo, bent tail boom. possibly bent shaft too

[gmoneyhobbit]

horrible to see. good to see it rescued though

[alishanmao]

@gmoneyhobbit better than nothing was found :D

[RcTranMD]

mine is worse i had to swim in neck high water it was warm on the surface but whet i got near the middle of the pond it was cold wast down so i new it was deep

i wet in to action mode and almost for got my cell phone and keys in my pocket lucky my friend was there to watch me fly or i would have almost droned cause i had to swim and carry the plane

[alishanmao]

@RcTranMD sorry to hear that. :) but we do put our lives to risk for our models right

[cristian22metal]

jaja por pelotudo y contestarme mal mi correo.

[AJNism]

Too Funny Ali !!! You are a dedicated flyer

[alishanmao]

@AJNism I love my models

[jackyCopter]

You catched a nice big fish

[alishanmao]

@jackyCopter I wish I can catch this fish every day :) one 550E heli from river a day hahaha

[Benjat5]

ESQUE ES TAMBIEN SUMARINO

[chippi09]

You are very lucky the water is not deep or you are really in big trouble. The only sure thing in Heli flying is that ,you are lucky if nothing will fail up there. No matter if it's new or older heli. Sorry Ali my friend .

[alishanmao]

@chippi09 true but flight failures are the life of RC pilot

[Traxxasaddict17]

Battery and motor still good, and the other electronic should be fine

[alishanmao]

@Traxxasaddict17 except one servo all is good

[cdw56]

Omg ;-)

[R3L72]

Damn shame...course it's better to fly over a river than a crowded RC flying field. Get well soon!

[alishanmao]

@R3L72 true or crashing on concrete LOL

[CrashNburnRC]

You have the same swimwear as the Mexicans at a Southern California beach!

[alishanmao]

@CrashNburnRC LOL yes

[mattyp80]

but did you film the crash?????? heh heh heh!

[alishanmao]

@mattyp80 nah, I told maryam, let me test it first how its doing then shoot for next battery flight.

[CrashNburnRC]

@alishanmao always, always...ALWAYS have the camera running. If it is no good just trashcan the footage when you get home. Actually, I wish the camera was recording your facial reaction as the bird was going down. You know how you fight and fight to save it but there is that last second just before she hits where you give up and just watch the wreckage. Every single R/C flier knows that feeling. haha.

[RCllamadude]

@CrashNburnRC i experienced that feeling today due to a dsm2 brownout sticking my (only) plane 50 feet up a redwood. curse you spektrum!!!! curse you!!!!

[1970muis]

you´r also better the weather looks good greetz

[alishanmao]

@1970muis LOL weather turned shitty again

[thephantomsguest]

what ya doing bro,fishing lol

[alishanmao]

@thephantomsguest yup fishing for helicopters. Heard this river had kds heli fish. found one already

[thephantomsguest]

@alishanmao hahahaah good stuff bro ^5

[RStephenLegge]

Wow, it is very lucky the water is not deep on that side of the river or the 550 would be history.

[alishanmao]

@RStephenLegge totally right

[iFlyFPV]

Geez Ali what's in that water?

[alishanmao]

@iFlyFPV heard there were some KDS helis in the water. Tried my luck and found one. hope to find align helis next time

[Aarongr4]

@alishanmao You should get a RC submarine and stick a camera onto it and go and explore.

[iFlyFPV]

@alishanmao No, I mean why is it so toxic looking?

[grogan1100]

I've herd them leaches are bigger than a man's (shalong) or shashort. Ha

[alishanmao]

@grogan1100 haven't seen those here lol

[HenioMalka]

Get well soon Ali, thx for show to all of us that shit happens ^^

Its time to drink some good coffe and stay in bed a little.

I know that Maryan and Kitty will take care of you =D hehehehehhe

[alishanmao]

@HenioMalka Thanks mate :D yes Taking some rest now.

[GameGearGuy]

And the next day Ali got an extra leg lol :D:D:D Poluted China water FTW XD

[alishanmao]

@GameGearGuy yeah mutations has begun already. something is getting hard

[angelusp777]

hahaha nice

[MrDanny111way]

@alishanmao why do you have to use two batterys

[alishanmao]

@MrDanny111way One for electronics one for motor

[MrDanny111way]

@alishanmao ok then i know cus i dont fly helis yet but i am going to start whit some helis in one day

[1970muis]

but the heli is okay ??;-) good luck see new vids soon

[alishanmao]

@1970muis yup most of the electronics except one servo is ok

[mayantribe]

the things u do to bring us these cool reviews

[alishanmao]

@mayantribe tell me bout it :D

[bassax7045]

maybe a servo went out ,,usually thats how my kds heli gets out of running too ,by the failure of servos,,it would also explain a sudden roll and screech

looks like the kds 550 swims as well as the t-rex 550 ;-) ,glad you got most of it back

[alishanmao]

@bassax7045 True. But I believe it was Beast X double sided tape that gave away right after motor slipped out of gear mesh.

[chowmonkey2002]

Shit happens :D

[alishanmao]

@chowmonkey2002 SSDD

[poerik]

[alishanmao]

@FeiYuJohn no worries. Shit happens ehhehe

[Silverexpress01]

Get well soon! We enjoy all your videos. Maybe next time we see you wrestle Chinese crocodile!

[alishanmao]

@Silverexpress01 will do for sure

[metroid1985]

when you picked up the heli i kept waiting for maryam to yell something like, "dose it still work!) rofl

[alishanmao]

@metroid1985 no maybe like, run a crocodile :D or a Shark or the Godzilla

[metroid1985]

@alishanmao rofl

[RIPcombat]

Ali you are luck 1 more foot and the water would get alot colder.

[alishanmao]

@RIPcombat tell me bout it.

[Eldonyee]

Your wife ask your friend to help you out in case anything happen. She said you swim poorly lol so sweet of her. Get well and all the best to u ali. As for the electronic parts you should open up and dry it, maybe leave it for few days and try hook it up. It work on many case i've encounter :D

[alishanmao]

@Eldonyee dried it. all electronics working. just one servo gone bad.

[SekretyZdrowiapl]

I am so sorry!!

[alishanmao]

@SekretyZdrowiapl :D thanks for care mate

[PcandTech]

too bad ;S

[alishanmao]

@PcandTech its the life

[MandurahRC]

The old saying

Shit Happens

[alishanmao]

@MandurahRC SSDD

[MinfangDuan]

lol you want to cry?

[alishanmao]

@MinfangDuan For BeastX. its an expensive system

[ArcticRc]

Well yours didn't end up on 17m dept and in salt wather.. You can save the electronic

[alishanmao]

@ArcticRc true heheheh. All electronics is ok, except one servo

[MrJasperDaniel]

Maybe the servo failed, and that could be the reason that it went down.. Then it wasn't the water that made the servo go bad.

[alishanmao]

@MrJasperDaniel true. servo fault mostly

[MadGilly]

Bad luck :(

[alishanmao]

@MadGilly we get that often

[jdahlenburg]

geez, thats no good :/

[alishanmao]

@jdahlenburg its life
