HK500GT CRASH

[MocochinoNG9]

Love the snoopy pizza box plane

I found that the stock pinion gear was cut wrong and ate the main gear up in two flights and forced into an auto-rotation at 6 feet. I set it down like a pro!!

[pimpinreddodge1]

i can hear the main gear not meshing right as soon as you started your spool up and in the middle of the flight you could hear it screaching!!!!!!! dont blame hobby king for that, just learn how to mesh your gears properly.

[superstocktx]

@pimpinreddodge1 The pinion and gears from HK are junk, REALLY THEY ARE!!!. I blame them for crap products/parts. Mine was meshed correctly and stripped on the second flight. Auto-rotation from 6 feet, set it down lika pro

Hi, thanks for you video. I bought one HK 500 and did some light aerobatics at first flight. Plastic tail assembly broke in the air but I was lucky to land. After that I spent time and money trying to fix it, but again and again its componentes failed too many times. You get what you pay for, as you wisely said. If you want a good 500 just take a look at a Copter X, or even better, a T-Rex 500 Align, the former worth each dollar. The HK 500 GT is the WORST 500-Class-RC Helicopter I´ve tried.

another one bites the dust...I mean snow

Just bought the electronics kit for myself. How did those servos hold up?

[MP3tilaco]

Nice electronic, you get what you pay for... you said it.

[WebsterFlyers]

I cant find the electronics package on there website, can you please send a link

thanks

[JMULIKOW]

@WebsterFlyers its not letting me post the link...go to ehirobo....then click on copterx 500 parts. Its on the last page

[WebsterFlyers]

@JMULIKOW Ok thankyou i found it.

What do you make of the electronics package, is it worth the money ?

Is it just as good as the real trex 500 electrics ?

Are all the electrics good quality and do they work good on the heli, would oyu see any need for upgrades?

[JMULIKOW]

@WebsterFlyers they work great...no problems at all. You cant beat the price can you???

[TamiyaExperienced]

BTW, learn to auto. =)

[TamiyaExperienced]

Ha, typical noob, I can't fly a heli routine. You get what you pay for, yes. Expensive stuff still fails if you set it up wrong.

[Baron30s]

bet it costs ya a fortune in spares

like the snoopy ending lol

[arsitama]

I can't believe you just take it easy on the crash. Most people (including me) will go crazy.

Need to learn to control my emotion.

[dizzymarkus]

(Is that a sign YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR0 Not really as it happens to the best of us eventhose with the best equipement crash and or have failures.

[wildhover]

same thing happened when my pinion gear came loose on my exi 450 but i was able to autogyro down to safety by luck. love the snoopy gokart!

[muddyfox01]

Yep, this time you got out of that one, mate :-)

No pilots error ..lol..

Nice flying and I like the Snoopy Pizza Box.

[Skydive4ever]

Ouch!! Sorry for your crash, at least it wasn't pilot error ;-)

[NorthWestParkFlyers]

Yeouch! Snoopy proves the safety and reliability of fixed wings. Not saying anything bad 'bout helicopters mind you, I'm just sayin... 5*'s.

[xflames]

ouch. that hurts ur wallet. let's see the next flight with the align main gear.

nice flip tho. great flying.

funny pizza box. that's a nice building hehe.

[mmosca]

Did the motor move on the mount?

It happened to me on a very similar situation, but with a 450.

[JMULIKOW]

Im not quite sure how it happened...all I know is the main gear is completely stripped. Motor must have moved on the mount I guess?

[JMULIKOW]

I kind of think...it was just a very cheap plastic gear.

[mmosca]

Could be. :)

You can alway replace some key parts with original ones (or at least better ones).

[RCHELISPOT]

Very entertaining as usual!!!! Cant wait for the next video.

[youtwoba]

Hey now that's the RCcanuck we all know! Ouch, not again, Snoopy was way cool though!
